PREPARATION
(cont.)
Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air
With release valve in OPEN position (3b above) and with saddle fully lowered, locate
and remove oil filler plug. Insert provided handle into handle sleeve; then pump 6 to
8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within
reservoir. Proper oil level will vary from just covering ram cylinder to 3/16” above it as
seen from oil filler plug hole. Reinstall oil filler plug.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
DO NOT use this device to lift, level, lower, support, adjust or otherwise
move a house, mobile home, travel trailer, camper, or building structure of any type,
size, or configuration.
NOTICE:
Use ONLY on vehicles whose lift points are compatible with the saddle of
this jack. Incompatibility may result in structural damage to vehicle and/or jack.
Lifting
1. Place vehicle in park, with emergency brake on and wheels securely chocked to
prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
2.
Locate and close release valve by turning handle clockwise until firm resistance is felt
to further thread engagement. Center jack saddle under lift point.
3. Insert handle into handle sleeve and pump until saddle contacts lift point. Verify
proper lift point, then pump handle until load reaches desired height.
4. Transfer load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
WARNING:
Never work on, under, or around a load supported only by a hydraulic
jack.
NOTICE:
ONLY use handle provided with this jack. Handle is specially designed to
be compatible with handle sleeve and properly engage release valve. If handle is
damaged, operates abnormally, or will not positively engage release valve, STOP,
discontinue use of jack until a factory replacement handle assembly can be acquired.
Lowering
1. Raise load high enough to clear jack stands; then carefully remove them.
2. Slowly turn handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If load fails to
lower:
a. Use another jack to raise vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove malfunctioning jack, then repeat Lowering procedure from Step 1.
c. Using functioning jack, lower vehicle.
3. After removing jack from under vehicle, push saddle down to reduce ram exposure to
rust and contamination.
