7.  Center the vehicle’s lifting point(s) on the saddle of the

Lowering

Handle firmly clockwise and raise load high enough

stands.

than 1/2 full turn) to lower the vehicle onto the ground.

4.  Lower the Jack completely.  Then, store in a safe, dry

Inspection, Maintenance, & Cleaning

  Procedures not specifically explained in this 

manual must be performed only by a qualified 

technician.

To prevent serious injury from tool failure: 

Do not use damaged equipment.  If abnormal noise or 

vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further 

use.
1.  Before each use, inspect the general condition of the 

Jack.  Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose 

or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the 

proper operation of the product.  If a problem occurs, 

have the problem corrected before further use. 

Do not use damaged equipment.

2.  Before each use, thoroughly test the Jack for proper 

operation prior to its actual use.  If the Jack appears 

not to be working properly, follow Bleeding instructions 

on page 2.

3.  Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three 

years:

A.  With the Jack fully lowered, remove the Oil Filler 

Plug on the side of the Housing.

B.  Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil to drain 

out of the Housing completely, and dispose of 

the old hydraulic oil in accordance with local 

regulations.

C.  With the Jack upright, completely fill the Housing 

with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until 

the oil is 1/4″ below the fill hole.

D.  Open the valve by turning the Handle 

counterclockwise and pump the Handle to bleed air 

from the system.

E.  Recheck oil level and re-fill as needed. 
F.  Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug.

7.  Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the Jack in 

a safe, dry location out of reach of children and other 

non-authorized people.
