JACK USE
1. Make sure the jack and the vehicle are on a hard level surface.
2. Always set the vehicle parking brake and block the wheels.
3. Consult the vehicle owners manual to ascertain the location of jack points and position the jack beneath the
prescribed lift point.
4. Turn the handle clockwise to closed position. Do not over tighten!
5. Pump the handle and raise the vehicle to the desired height.
6. Place jack stands beneath the vehicle at locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and do not get
under the vehicle without jack stands, as jacks are not designed to maintain these heavy loads for long time
periods.

2. Pump handle to lift vehicle off of jack stands
3. Remove jack stands. Do not get under or let anyone else under the vehicle.
4. Turn handle SLOWLY counterclockwise to lower the vehicle onto the ground.
JACK STORAGE
Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will prevent critical areas from excessive corrosion.
MAINTENANCE
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any restric-
tion due to dirt, rust, etc., can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal
components. The following steps are those designed to keep the jack well lubed:
1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil. Grease wheel bearings and axles.
