OWNER'S MANUAL
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the ASSEMBLY section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
Become familiar with the parts identified in these instructions by referring to the PARTS DRAWING on page 7.
IMPORTANT:
In most cases the jack should work normally right out of the box but it is not unusual for air to get trapped in the
jack's hydraulic system during shipping and handling. There are several symptoms of an air trapped hydraulic system which
include only partial incremental pump stroke, jack will not lift a load, jack will not sustain load or pumping feels spongy under
load. The following procedure will purge air from the hydraulic system and only needs to be done if experiencing any of the above
mentioned
conditions.
a. The saddle should be in its lowest position. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops. Now turn
the handle counterclockwise two full rotations.
b. Pump the jack 15 full incremental pump strokes to remove air from the hydraulic system.
c. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops. Pump the jack to its maximum height.
d. Repeat steps a through c until all air is purged from the system.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid personal injury and/or property damage.
IMPORTANT:
Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
1. The jack's telescopic handle is comprised of the lower handle (#39) and upper handle (#41). These handles in their collapsed
position are secured together by way of the spring button (#40), nearest the hand grip end of the upper handle, engaging a hole in
the lower handle (#39). In order to extend the telescopic handles the spring button must be depressed to disengage the hole. The
upper handle can be extended and rotated until the other spring button in the lower portion of the upper handle engages the hole
in
the
lower
handle.
2. The telescopic handle serves two purposes. When collapsed and folded forward, the handle hook (#6) can be rotated over the
top of the handle thus providing a means by which to carry the entire jack by the handle. Disengaging the hook from the handle,
rotating the hook out of the way of the saddle height, folding the handle to its pump position and extending the telescopic handle
to its locked position, enables the handle to operate the hydraulic power unit.
IMPORTANT:
The telescopic handle locks into and
releases from the upper handle yoke (#49) by depressing the spring loaded lock clip (#43).
3. Put vehicle transmission in park or in gear and then apply the emergency brake.
To raise load:
Turn the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Position the jack under the load. Proceed to pump the handle
in order to raise the lift arm to the load. As the saddle at the end of the lift arm gets closer to the load, reposition the jack so the
saddle will contact the load firmly and the load is centered on the saddle. Make sure the saddle is correctly positioned. Raise the
load a little higher than the desired work height.
Place jack stands of appropriate capacity at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended support areas that provide stable support
for the raised vehicle.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING JACK
STANDS!
Once jack stands are positioned, turn the jack handle VERY SLOWLY in a counterclockwise direction to lower the load
to rest on the jack stands. Inspect the relationship between the jack stands and load to make sure the setup is stable and safe. If
the setup is not stable or safe, follow the preceding steps until corrected.
4.
To lower load:
Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise a load" section of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in order to raise
the load off the jack stands. Once the load has cleared the jack stands, remove the jack stands from under the load and away
from the work area. Turn handle very slowly in a counterclockwise direction until the load is completely lowered to the ground.
Once the jack's saddle has cleared the load, remove the jack from under the load. CAUTION: Keep hands and feet away from the
hinge mechanism of the jack.
