Assemble the Handle

1. Loosen the bolt on the handle socket.

2. Insert the handle.

3. Tighten the bolt.

Bleed Air from the Service Jack

Air can accumulate within a hydraulic system during shipment or after
prolonged use. This entrapped air causes the jack to respond slowly or feel
"spongy." To remove the air:

1. Open the release valve by moving the control lever toward Notch C.

2. Pump the jack handle six full strokes.

3. Close the release valve by moving the control lever toward Notch A.

4. Pump the jack handle or foot pedal until the lift arm is fully extended.

5. Lower the lift arm by moving the control lever toward notch C. If the jack

does not immediately respond, repeat Steps 2-4.

Operating Instructions

(Refer to Figure 1)

Control Lever in Notch “A”: Pumping action of handle or foot pedal will raise lift arm.
Control Lever in Notch “B”: Handle is locked; foot pedal will still raise lift arm.
Control Lever in Notch “C”: Releases lift arm.

Lifting Operation

1. Move the control lever to Notch A or B. (Refer to control lever positions listed above.)

2. Position the jack under the vehicle. Important: Use the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting points on the chassis.

3. Pump the jack handle or the foot pedal until the saddle touches the vehicle. Check the placement of the saddle lugs. Finish lifting

the vehicle.

4. Place approved safety stands under the vehicle at points that will provide stable support. Before working on the vehicle, SLOWLY

lower the vehicle onto the safety stands.

Preventive Maintenance

Important: Dirt is the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic units.
Keep the service jack clean and well lubricated to prevent foreign
matter from entering the system. If the jack has been exposed to rain,
snow, sand, or grit, it must be cleaned before it is used.

1. Store the jack in a well-protected area where it will not be exposed to

corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements.

2. Refer to Figure 2, and regularly (at least once per month) lubricate the

moving parts shown.

3. Add grease to upper arm grease nipple (shown) every three months.
