ASSEMBLY
1. Install hydraulic unit into receiver and secure with
provided 7.5mm X 22mm bolt.
2. Install lift foot pedal into sleeve.
3. Install handle into frame and secure using the
provided pins (2).
4. Ensure assembly rolls freely, lifts, locks, and lowers
easily. Get to know how the release pedal, lift pedal,
and the height locking and unlocking mechanism
work prior to loading the Lift.

BEFORE USE
(see Fig. 1)
1. Verify that the product and the application are
compatible, if in doubt call Omega Technical
Service (888) 332-6419.
2. Before assembling this product, read this operating
manual completely and familiarize yourself
thoroughly with the product, its components and
recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. Before assembly, place hydraulic unit in an upright,
level position. Press release valve lever to ensure
ram is fully retracted. Locate and remove the oil filler
plug. As you remove the oil filler plug you may hear
pressurized air escaping from the reservoir. This
means you have successfully purged trapped air
from the system. Ensure the oil level is just below
the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.
4. After assembly, check to ensure that Lift rolls freely
and that the pump operates smoothly before putting
into service. Replace worn or damaged parts and
assemblies with Omega Replacement Parts only.
(See Replacement Parts Section). Lubricate as
instructed in Maintenance Section.
OPERATION
1. Position Lift under appropriate lift point, centering
load on lift saddle.
2. Locate and pump the lift pedal until the lift saddle
comes into contact with an appropriate lift point.
3. Only after centering the load, slowly and carefully
raise the lift arm by pumping the lift foot pedal.
4. Lock both swivel casters by pressing down on the
caster lever marked ‘lock’.
5. Continue pumping until the load has reached
desired height. Secure the load using appropriate tie
down means. Four tie down loops have been
provided on the frame of the Lift. Make sure that the
height locking mechanism is fully engaged before
working on or around the loaded Lift.
6. To lower, disengage height locking lever and depress
release pedal. In some cases it may be necessary
to slightly raise the lift arm before disengaging the
height locking lever.
MAINTENANCE
Important:
Keep Lift clean and well lubricated. Apply
a couple of drops of light machine oil to all pivoting
joints as needed. Thoroughly wipe up excess oil to
help prevent slipping and falling. Use only a good grade
hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid
and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission
fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause
failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and
immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil DTE
13M or equivalent.
Adding oil
1. To check hydraulic oil level, unload Lift, lower lift
arms completely, then remove hydraulic unit from
Lift. Place hydraulic unit upright on a stable, level
surface. Locate and remove oil filler plug.
2. Ensure the oil level is even with the oil filler plug
hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug, then install
hydraulic unit onto receiver. Secure with provided
bolts.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the
complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove hydraulic unit
from Lift. Place hydraulic unit upright on a stable,
level surface. Remove the oil filler plug.

WARNING
Study, understand and follow all printed materials
provided with and on this device. Do not exceed
rated capacity. Ensure load is compatible with lift
pads. Center load on lift pads. After lifting load to
desired height, ensure lift arm locking mechanism
is engaged. Secure load to Lift using apropriate
straps. Engage locking caster mechanism before
working on or around loaded Lift. Move loaded Lift
over smooth, level, seamless surfaces only. Before
moving, ensure load has been lowered completely.
Use only on hard, level surfaces capable of
sustaining rated capacity loads. Lift only on areas
of the load as specified by it’s manufacturer. Do
not use for any purpose other than that for which
this device is intended. Failure to heed these
messages may result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
! SAFETY MESSAGE !
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before
lowering load. No alterations shall be made to this
device. Only attachments and/or adapters supplied
by the manufacturer shall be used.
