SETTING UP AND OPERATING LOW PROFILE FLOOR JACK
ASSEMBLY- FLOOR JACK
1) Remove pump handle hex. bolt (A) Fig.1 and attach top and botton handles (B) together.
Make sure the holes in both handles are aligned and secure the handles together using
the pump handle hex. bolt (A).
2) Remove pump handle socket hex. bolt (C) Fig.1 and insert the bottom of the pump han-
dle assembly (E) into the handle socket (D). Secure pump handle with hex. bolt (C).
BEFORE USING: IMPORTANT! PURGE AIR FROM HYDRAULIC JACK
During the shipping or handling of the floor jack, air can get trapped in the hydraulic pump
system causing poor lifting performance. Follow these steps to release air from the hy-
draulic system.
1) Turn the pump handle (A) Fig.1, counterclockwise to open the release valve, do not turn
handle more than two full turns.
2) Slowly loosen the oil fill plug (A) Fig.2 and rapidly pump the pump handle several times.
3) Turn pump handle clockwise one full turn to close release valve and pump jack to its
highest position without load, once reached, continue to pump several times to purge air.
4) Turn the pump handle counterclockwise one full turn to open release valve and press
down on lifting arm and saddle with hand to lower allowing excess air that might be
trapped in hydraulic cylinder to escape. It may be necessary to repeat this step 3-5
times before using floor jack.
5) Retighten oil fill plug (A) Fig.2.
Raising load with floor jack
Warning! This is a 3.5 Ton lifting device only.
Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the
floor jack. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with jack stands (not included).
1) Make sure the floor jack and the vehicle are on a hard surface, it may be necessary to
place a wooden board or steel plate under the floor jack if the surface is not very hard,
this will prevent the wheels from sinking and causing damage to the pavement.
2) Make sure the vehicle is in park, apply the emergency brake and block wheels.
3) Consult the vehicle owner’s manual to ascertain the location of jack points and position
the floor jack beneath the prescribed lift point.
4) Turn the pump handle clockwise to close the release valve. Do not overtighten!
5) Pump the handle to raise the lift arm and saddle until the saddle approaches the lift
point. Make sure the saddle is positioned correctly and continue pumping the handle to
lift load. Continue to lift the vehicle to the desired height.
