lever to the right to raise the vehicle off the safety support stands (jack stands). Make the appropriate setup changes and slowly and
carefully lower the vehicle onto the safety support stand saddles.
8. After the work is done, rotate the air lever to the right until the jack is high enough to remove the vehicle or load from the safety
support stand saddles. Be sure load is stable. If it is not, lower load back onto safety support stands. Make appropriate setup
corrections and repeat the step again. Remove the safety support stands from under the vehicle, being very careful not to move the
vehicle.
9. Rotate the air lever to the left to lower the vehicle or load down to the ground.
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.
IMPORTANT: The number one cause of jack failure in air/hydraulic jacks is dirt and moisture in the air motor and/or hydraulic
system.The shop air supply should be equipped with water and dirt filter traps that should be emptied or cleaned according to a
monthly maintenance schedule. An in line oil lubricator will extend the life of air/hydraulic jacks. Inoperable jacks caused by poorly
equipped or maintained shop air systems are not eligible for warranty consideration. Contaminants can also enter the air/hydraulic
system when the shop air line is disconnected from the jack air line and the line is dropped on the floor. Contaminants in the air
couplers, once reconnected, will be driven into the system.
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 threads on the extension screw. Do not lubricate any portion of the lift saddle and make sure the saddle is free from grease,
any kind of lubricant, or debris before using the jack. Jacks found to be defective due to worn parts resulting from inadequate or no
lubrication are not eligible for warranty consideration.
3. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak
requires immediate repair which must be performed in a dirt-free environment by qualified hydraulic repair personnel who are
familiar with this equipment. Authorized Service Centers are recommended. IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal damage and jack
failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil, Chevron Hydraulic Oil AW ISO
32 or its equivalent Unocal Unax AW 150.
4. 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 any moving hydraulic components.
5.
Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign 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.
6. Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you are a qualified hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this equipment.
