OPERATION
Raising the vehicle
1. Make sure the jack and the vehicle are on a hard level surface.
2. Always set the vehicle parking brake and block the wheels.

beneath the prescribed lifting points.

periods of time. Do not attempt to put jack stands simultaneously under both ends of the vehicle or
one entire side of the vehicle.

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE
Before each use a visual inspection shall be made for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, damage,
bent, worn, loose or missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks. Inspections should be performed in accordance with
this manual. The product should be inspected immediately if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal
load or shock. If any defect or malfunction occurs, the jack should be removed from service immediately.
Owner/Operators should be aware that repair of this product may require specialized equipment and
knowledge. In addition, on a regular basis (at least once a year – more frequent if required by working
conditions) a thorough inspection of the product shall be carried out and documented by a qualified person.
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any
restriction due to dirt, rust etc. can cause either slow movement or extremely rapid jerks damaging the internal
components. The following steps are designed to keep the jack maintained and operational.
1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
2. Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose or missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
3. The product shall be inspected immediately if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load
or shock.
4. Any hydraulic jack found damaged in any way, found to be worn or jack that operates abnormally shall
be removed from service until repaired by an authorized customer service representative.
5. Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
6. Check and maintain the ram oil level.
7. Check the ram every three months for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with
an oil cloth. When not in use, always leave the saddle and ram all the way down.
Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will help protect critical areas from corrosion. Do not
use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals. Always purchase and use
products labeled hydraulic jack oil.
