2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, locate and turn the release valve knob
(see Fig 1)

raise
the saddle plate.
b. Counter-clockwise
, but no more than 1/2 turn from the closed position. This is the ‘
OPen
’ release valve
position used to

4. With saddle fully lowered, remove the oil filler screw. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized
air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Check oil level. Proper oil level will vary from just covering the ram
cylinder to 3/16” above it as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall the oil filler screw.
5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded jack throughout the lifting range before putting into
service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with factory
authorized replacement parts only.
