Warnings
m
Failure to follow all of these safety instructions can lead
to severe injury or death from a sudden loss of the load.
Contact the manufacturer at the numbers or address
printed on the back cover of this manual if you have any
questions.
m
Before using this jack, be sure you have read and
understood all of the instructions and warnings on the
on product labeling and in this owner’s manual. See the
section entitled “OWNER AND/OR OPERATOR
RESPONSIBILITIES
” on page 6 of this manual for more
information.
m
Inspect the jack before each use. The jack must be
removed from service if damage is detected or if the
jack is subjected to an abnormal shock or load. See
page 10
of this manual for proper “INSPECTION –
BEFORE EACH USE
.”
m
Inspect the work area before each use. Make sure the
jack and vehicle are located on a hard, level surface
capable of supporting the load.
m
Identify appropriate vehicle lift points before using the
jack. Lift only on areas of the vehicle specified by the
vehicle manufacturer. The lift point must be strong
enough to sustain the lifting force without damage to the
vehicle. Make sure the lift point is securely cradled in
the jack’s factory supplied lift pad. Do not use any kind
of cribbing or adapters with this jack. The jack must
remain in direct contact with the floor and the lifting pad
must be in direct contact with the vehicle.
m
Make sure the load does not exceed the rated capacity
of the jack. The maximum lifting capacity of this jack is
50,000 lbs. / 22,680 kg.
m
Always lift with either the factory supplied lift pad or
extended lift pad in place. Never lift when one of these
two factory furnished lift pads is not properly installed
[see graphic on right]. Make sure the lift pad is the only
part of the jack in contact with the vehicle
— do not
attempt to use any other part of the jack as a lifting
point. Never place a hand or any other body part
between lift pad and vehicle.

m
Use the jack only as a lift, not as a support stand. After
lifting the vehicle, never allow any part of your body to
pass under it (and never begin work) until it is properly
supported by appropriate support stands. Once
adequate support stands are in place, remove the jack
from underneath the vehicle. See pages 8-9 of this
manual for information about raising and lowering a
vehicle and refer to the manual that comes with your
support stands for information about their proper and
safe use.
m
Always use the jack as intended. Never modify or alter
the jack. Use the jack for lifting vehicles only. Never use
more than one jack at the same time to raise a vehicle.
If this jack does not have sufficient capacity to lift a load,
use a different jack with adequate capacity. Do not use
any type of blocks, cribbing devices, or adapters with
this jack. The jack must remain in direct contact with the
floor and the lifting pad must be in direct contact with an
appropriate lift point on the vehicle. Never attempt to
reposition or rotate the jack or move, dolly, or drive the
vehicle while the vehicle is raised. Never throw the jack
or allow the jack to fall from an elevated position, such
as from a truck bed.
