ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert Handle into Handle Sleeve and tighten Bolt.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE:
Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system during
transit. To purge air:
1. Open release valve by turning Control Rod.
2. Pump handle rapidly 4 full strokes. This will expel air
that may have entered oil passages during transit.
3. Close release valve by turning Control Rod and pump
handle.
4. If lift arm is raised, jack is ready for use. If not, repeat
this procedure.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RAISE ANY VEHICLE,
CHECK VEHICLE SERVICE MANUAL FOR
RECOMMENDED LIFTING POINTS.
OPERATION:
1. To Raise Load: Close release valve tightly (by turning
control rod ). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Position jack
under load so that saddle will contact load fi rmly and
load is centered so it cannot slip. Operate foot lever and/
or jack handle until saddle approaches the load. Once
again, check to see that saddle is correctly positioned.
Raise load to desired height. Place jack stands of ap-
propriate capacity under the vehicle.
DO NOT CRAWL
UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR
PLACING OR REMOVING JACK STANDS!
Place jack stands at vehicle manufacturer’s recommend-
ed lift areas that provide stable support for the raised
Vehicle. Once jack stands are positioned, open the
release valve
VERY SLOWLY (by moving the control
rod).
Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Then, make
sure that the release valve on the jack is closed tightly
(by turning the Control Rod).
2. To lower load:
Re-check to make sure release valve is tightly closed
(Control Rod properly positioned) Then, operate the jack
handle until the load is raised enough to remove the jack
stands.
DANGER!
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING
VEHICLE OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS!
Once jack stands are removed, open release valve very
slowly to lower the vehicle. Lower jack completely so that
the vehicle is securely resting on the ground and that jack
no longer makes contact with vehicle.
CAUTION!
Keep hands or feet away from the
hinge mechanism of the jack.
MAINTENANCE
When adding or replacing hydraulic fl uid, always use a
quality hydraulic fl uid. DO NOT use brake fl uid, alcohol,
detergent motor oil, dirty oil or any fl uid other than quality
hydraulic fl uid. Improper fl uids can cause internal
damage to the jack and improper or unsafe operation.
ADDING HYDRAULIC FLUID
With the saddle fully lowered and the jack on level
ground, remove the
fi ller screw. Hydraulic fl uid should
be fi lled to the level of the fi ller screw hole. If the level is
below this hole, add hydraulic fl uid as needed.
LUBRICATION
All moving joints require lubrication often. Lightly grease
saddle post and saddle bottom. Remove handle and
grease the lower end of handle where it rotates in the
handle socket. Using a grease gun, grease the lift arm
pivot shaft grease
fi tting until grease appears at the end
of the shaft. Oil all lift arm linkages, front wheels and rear
casters.
