To Prevent Serious Injury:

Use caution when troubleshooting a malfunctioning jack.  Stay well clear of the supported load. 

Completely resolve all problems before use.  If the solutions presented in the Troubleshooting guide do not solve the 

problem, have a qualified technician inspect and repair the jack before use. 

After the jack is repaired:  Test it carefully without a load by raising and lowering it fully, checking for proper operation, 

BEFORE RETURNING THE JACK TO OPERATION.

DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING JACK!
