SETUP
There is little or no preparation for the setup of this jack. Make sure the jack is in its low height position. The crank handle comes
in two pieces; one piece has a hook end and a crank handle grip on the other piece. The flattened end of the hook piece has to be
inserted in the recieving end of the crank handle. The hook should be put through the hole in the drive screw of the jack when ready to
be used.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
IMPORTANT:
Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
1. Become familiar with the operation of the jack. Turning the crank handle in a clockwise direction will raise the jack's saddle.
Turning the crank handle in a counterclockwise direction will lower the jack's saddle.
2. Do not attemp to lift more than one vehicle tire off the ground at a time.
3. Activate the hazard warning flasher, turn off ignition, set parking brake, move automatic shift selector to park position or reverse
gear if it is a manual transmission. The wheel diagonally opposite from the wheel being lifting shall be chocked in both directions.
4. With the jack in the lowered position, push the jack under the vehicle. IMPORTANT: Use the vehicle manufacturer's recommended
lifting procedure and lifting points.
5. Raise the saddle up to the recommended lifting point. Check to see that the lifting point is centered on the lifting saddle and the
majority of the weight is not supported by the peripheral edge of the saddle at any single point.
6. Before lifting the tire off the ground, slightly loosen the lug nuts on the wheel if your intention is to remove the wheel.
7. Raise the vehicle just high enough so the tire (in its inflated condition) will clear the ground.
8. Be careful not to pull, push or exert enough force on the vehicle to cause it to slip off the jack or make the setup unstable.
9. Never get under the vehicle when using the jack or the vehicle is lifted.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust,
or any other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before
using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be
applied to the drive screw. Failure to maintain proper lubrication voids warranty.
3. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack label clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces
of the jack but not the drive screw. Contact K-Tool International for a replacement label if your jack's label is unreadable.
4. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage. Do not
use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. If the vehicle is pushed off the jack or
the jack is subjected to a shock load, discard the jack and do not use again.
