Operating Instructions
Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this document including all
text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Bleeding
IMPORTANT! Before first use, check for proper hydraulic fluid level in the Ram.
Then thoroughly test the Jack for proper operation prior to its actual use.
If the Jack appears
not
to be working properly, it may be necessary
to
bleed
its hydraulic system of excess air.
1. Remove the Fluid Fill Plug from the side of the Ram.
2. Have an assistant hold the Release Pedal down.
3. Use stable weights, such as sand bags (not
included) to weigh down the Wheel Brackets evenly.
4. Pump the Foot Pedal quickly several times.
5. Check the Fluid Fill Hole (where the Fluid Fill Plug
was removed from) and, if necessary, top off the
Fluid Fill Hole with hydraulic fluid (not included).
6. Replace the Fluid Fill Plug.
7. Test the Jack several times for proper operation
before attempting to lift a load.
If the Jack still
does
not
appear to be working properly after
bleeding, do not use the Jack until it has been
repaired by a qualified service technician.
Lifting
WARNING! Set Jack and vehicle on a flat, level, hard, ground surface
safely away from oncoming traffic. Turn off vehicle’s engine.
1. Determine the wheel width of the ATV/mower,
and adjust the Wheel Bracket supports to
match that width. Lock them in place using the
Width Pins.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY: Adjust them so that they are equally
distant from the center of the Jack, or else
the Jack will be unstable and might tip.
2. Examine the bottom of each ATV/mower wheel that
is touching the floor. Adjust the depth of both Wheel
Brackets to be slightly larger than that distance.
3. Press the Release Pedal to lower the Jack.
Once the Jack is fully lowered,
release the Release Pedal.
4. Use the ATV/mower’s steering
to straighten its wheels.
5. Press the fronts of the Wheel Brackets straight
against the fronts of the ATV/mower’s wheels.
Push the Wheel Brackets under the wheels until
both wheels rest in the center of the Wheel Bracket.
6. Place the two Safety Lock Levers in the closed,
locked position to enable the locking mechanism.
Refer to Components on page 7.
7. Place the vehicle’s transmission in NEUTRAL.
Hold the Handle and pump the Foot Pedal.
Use smooth, full strokes for best results.
8. Raise the vehicle to the desired height. As the load
is lifted the locking mechanism will automatically
engage to lock the Lift Arm in one of three positions.
9. After the vehicle is lifted, use wheel
chocks (sold separately) to block the rear
wheels that are
not
being lifted.
10. Make sure the Lift Arm is locked in one
of the three available positions before
working on the ATV/mower.
Lowering
1. Remove all tools, parts, etc. from under the vehicle.
Remove the wheel chocks from the rear wheels.
2. Pump the Foot Pedal slightly to remove
weight from the locking mechanism.
3. Place the two Safety Lock Levers in the horizontal,
unlocked position to disengage the locking
mechanism. Refer to Components on page 7.
4. Keep clear while pressing the Release Pedal
to lower the ATV/mower.
5. Once the Jack is completely lowered,
remove it from under the ATV/mower.
6. When not in use, store Jack in a safe,
dry location out of reach of children.
