completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards
associated with its use.

ASSEMBLY
Little, if any, assembly is required of this jack. Always
secure the handle into the handle sleeve by means of
the bolt and lock washer provided. Tighten securely to
prevent accidental removal of handle while in use.
Familiarize yourself with the illustrations in this owner's
manual. Know your jack and how it operates before
attempting to use.
OPERATION
Lifting
1. Place vehicle in park, with emergency brake on and
wheels securely chocked to prevent inadvertent vehicle
movement.
2. Locate and close release valve by turning handle knob
clockwise, firmly. Center jack saddle under lift point.
3. Verify lift point, then use handle pump to contact lift
point. To lift, pump handle until load reaches desired
height.
4. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated
jack stands.
Lowering
Note:
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before
lowering load.
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands, then
carefully remove jack stands (
always
used in pairs).
2. Slowly turn the handle counterclockwise, but no more
than 1/2 turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough
to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the affected jack and then the stands.
c. Using the other jack, lower the load by turning the
handle knob counterclockwise, but no more than
1/2 turn.
3. After removing jack from under the load, push saddle
down to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.
Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the
vehicle manufacturer. Do not use adapters or
accessories that are not provided initially.
