ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Assemble Upper and Lower Handle, insert into
Handle Socket and tighten Bolt.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE:
1. Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system dur-
ing transit. To purge air:
2. Open release valve by twisting Handle counter clock-
wise.
3. Pump Handle rapidly 6-8 full strokes. This will expel
air that may have entered oil passages during transit.
4. Close release valve by twisting Handle clockwise
and pump handle.
5. 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 twist-
ing Handle clockwise. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Position jack under load so that saddle will contact
load firmly and load is centered so it cannot slip. Op -
erate 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 appropriate 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 recom-
mended lift areas that provide stable support for the
raised Vehicle. Once jack stands are positioned, open
the release valve VERY SLOWLY (by twisting the Handle
counter clockwise.)
Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Then, make
sure that the release valve on the jack is closed tightly
(twist the Handle clockwise).
2. To lower load: Re-check to make sure release
valve is tightly closed (twist the Handle clockwise).
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 (twist the Handle counter
clockwise). 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 fluid, always use a
quality hydraulic fluid. DO NOT use brake fluid, alcohol,
detergent motor oil, dirty oil or any fluid other than quality
hydraulic fluid. Improper fluids can cause internal dam -
age to the jack and improper or unsafe operation.
ADDING HYDRAULIC FLUID
With the saddle fully lowered and the jack on level
ground, remove the filler screw. Hydraulic fluid should
be filled to the level of the filler screw hole. If the level is
below this hole, add hydraulic fluid 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. Oil all lift arm linkages, front wheels and
rear casters.
