SETUP
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. In order to install the handle assembly item #59 in the handle socket item #37, first align the main handle tube #42 with the largest
hole in the handle socket #37 and the lock pin rod #46 with the smaller hole in the handle socket.
2. Make sure the lock pin rod #46 is in the down/lock position before insertion in the handle socket. Once the main handle tube #42
and lock pin rod #46 are aligned with their respective holes in the handle socket #37, push the handle assembly #59 in the handle
socket #37 so the end of the handle tube #42 engages the release flex shaft #52 in the bottom of the handle socket and the lock pin
rod #46 engages one of the three (3) locking holes in the item #1 frame.
3. Now rotate the "T" handle portion of the handle assembly #59 so it is perfectly aligned with the jack before tightening the item #41
bolt, item #40 washer, and item #39 nut. Tighten the bolt, washer, and nut so the handle cannot rotate. Disengage the lock pin rod
#46 by pulling up on the lever and engaging the lever with the slot in top of the handle assembly #59. The handle assembly should
be free to pump up and down.
4. In order to check for proper handle assembly #59 alignment with the handle socket #37, see if the lock pin rod #46 will engage with the
three (3) locking holes in the frame #1. Also, turn the release valve knob #44 at the top of the handle assembly #59 left and then right to
see if the release flex shaft #52 in front and below the handle socket #37 is rotating simultaneously with the turning of the knob #44.
5. Before Use: Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system.
PURGING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
a. Rotate the knob #44 at the top of the handle assembly #59 in a clockwise direction until tight.
Now turn it in a counterclockwise direction two full turns.
b. Activate the foot pump pedal item #38 about 15 times.
c. Rotate the knob #44 at the top of the handle assembly #59 in a clockwise direction until tight.
d. Activate the foot pump #38 until the lift arm is raised to maximum height. You should experience a full pump stroke with each
incremental pump of the pedal #38.
e. Repeat steps "a" through "d" until all air is purged from the system.
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. To raise load: Turn the knob #44 at the top of the handle assembly #59 in a clockwise direction until tight. Position the jack under
the load. Proceed to pump the handle #59 or the foot pedal #38 in order to raise the lift arm to the load. As the saddle #8 at the
end of the lift arm gets closer to the load, reposition the jack so the saddle #8 will contact the load firmly and the load is centered
on the saddle. Make sure the saddle #8 is correctly positioned. Remember that foot pedal #38 pump operation is only used to
quickly raise the saddle #8 to the load. The handle pump operation of the jack is used to lift the load. Raise the load to the desired
work height. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended support areas that provide
stable support for the raised vehicle.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR INSTALLING JACK
STANDS TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE!
Once jack stands are positioned, turn the knob #44 at the top of the handle assembly
#59 in a counterclockwise direction VERY SLOWLY. Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Inspect the relationship between
the jack stands and load to make sure the setup is stable and safe. If the setup is not stable or safe, follow the preceding steps
until corrected. NOTE. Once the hand pump operation has ceased, the handle assembly #59 can be locked in any of the three (3)
handle locking positions. Typically, the handle locking positions are used for moving the jack around the shop, keeping the handle
#59 out of the way or preventing the handle from being pumped.
2. To lower load: Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise load" section of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in order to raise
the load off the jack stands. Once the load has cleared the jack stands, remove the stands from under the load and away from the
work area. Turn the knob #44 at the top of the jack's handle assembly #59 very slowly in a counterclockwise direction until the load
is completely lowered to the ground. Once the jack's lifting saddle has cleared the load, remove the jack from under the load.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS!
CAUTION:
Keep hands and feet away from the hinge mechanism of the jack.
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 caster wheels, front axle, elevator arm, handle base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other bearing surfaces. Worn parts
resulting from inadequate or no lubrication are not eligible for warranty consideration.
IMPORTANT:
In order to prevent seal
damage and jack failure, never use alchol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil, a light turbine
oil, Chevron AW ISO 32 or Unocal Unax AW 150.
3. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces
of the jack but not any moving hydraulic components.
4. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows signs of damage or leaks
hydraulic fluid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective
action before using the jack again.
