OPERATIONS
MAINTENANCE
TO RAISE:
Place vehicle in park, apply brake and chock wheels with suitable
devices.
1. Position the jack under the load and close release valve by
turning clockwise firmly.
2. Operate manually by pumping with handle until saddle
ALMOST contacts with vehicle. Check to see that the saddle is
centred and will contact the load lifting point firmly.
3. Continue to pump jack handle until load is raised to desired
height and immediately transfer load to appropriately rated
jack stands.
TO LOWER:
1. Raise load sufficiently to remove support devices, then slowly
turn handle counterclockwise until load begins to lower.
Carefully control the rate of descent and avoid shock load
created by opening and closing valve quickly. This may result
in overloading hydraulic circuit causing damage to jack and
personal injury.
2. Remove jack from under load and if necessary, push handle
sleeve and saddle down fully to reduce piston and ram
exposure to contamination.
MAINTAINING OIL LEVEL
Important: When adding or replacing oil, ALWAYS use good grade
Hydraulic Jack oil. DO NOT use Hydraulic Brake Fluid, Alcohol,
Glycerin, Detergent, Motor Oil or dirty oil. Use of an improper fluid
can cause serious internal damage to your jack.
ADDING OIL
• Position the jack on level ground and fully lower the saddle.
Remove oil filler plug.
• Turn jack over and drain old oil out through the oil filler plug hole.
• Refill with new oil through the oil filler plug hole. Not allow dirt or
other foreign materials to enter the hydraulic system when filling.
• After refilling, remove any air from hydraulic system by opening the
release valve and rapidly pumping the jack handle several times.
• Put the oil filler plug back and the jack is ready for use.
LUBRICATION
• Add lubricating oil to all moving part as needed.
PREVENTING RUST
• Check ram and pump plunger every few months for any signs of
rust or corrosion. Clean as needed by wiping with oily cloth.
• When not in use, ALWAYS store jack with saddle and pump plunger
lowered all the way down.
