LOWERING THE JACK
1. Raise load high enough to allow clearance for the
jack stands to be removed, then carefully remove
jack stands.
2. Remove support stands.
3. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands. Securely
hold on to the jack handle so your hands do not
slip and ensure the release valve does not rapidly
lower.
4. Carefully open the Release Valve by slowly
turning the handle counter-clockwise. (Do not
allow bystanders around the jack or under the
load when lowering the jack.
5. After removing jack from under the load, keep
jack in the lowered position to reduce exposure to
rust and contamination.
WARNING:
WARNING: USE EXTREME
CAUTION WHEN LOWERING THE JACK.
THE JACK HANDLE MAY TURN RAPIDLY.
OPENING THE RELEASE VALVE TOO FAST
CAN CAUSE THE JACK TO LOWER RAPIDLY.
FAILURE TO HEAD THESE WARNINGS
COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
