4. Verify lift point, center jack saddle under lift point.
5. Insert pump handle into handle sleeve and pump to contact lift point. To lift, continue pumping until load reaches
desired height.
6. Transfer the lifted load to a pair of appropriately rated jack stands.
nOtice: Use pump handle provided by jack manufacturer. The handle provided with this jack will safely engage
the release valve and operate the handle sleeve. If handle is worn, operates abnormally, or will not positively engage
the release valve, STOP, discontinue use of the jack until a factory replacement handle can be acquired.
Lowering
WarninG: Clear all tools and personnel before lowering load. Open release valve slowly. The further handle
is turned counter-clockwise, the faster the load will descend. Maintain control of the load at all times.
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands, then carefully remove jack stands (
always
used in pairs).
2. Slowly turn the pump handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn.
If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the affected jack and then the stands.
c. Use the functioning jack to lower the vehicle.
3. After removing jack from under the load, push ram pluger and handle sleeve down to reduce exposure to rust
and contamination.
