ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the support column in the stand where the support column teeth are facing toward the stand's locking pawl.
2. Raise the stand's locking handle to allow the column to go to its lowest position.
3. In order to prevent removal of the support column from the stand, use a hammer and flat end punch to hammer the jack's tab in toward the column but
not touching the column. See figure 1 page 3.
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 possible injury or death.
1. Make sure the work floor is clean and free of debris and obstacles.
2. Chock the vehicle's tires that will not be lifted. Make sure the emergency brake is on and the vehicle's transmission is either in the park
mode or gear if a manual transmission.
3. Raise the vehicle to a safe working height and make sure the jack and vehicle setup are stable before positioning the jack stands.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR REMOVE STANDS.
4. Position the jack stands right below the areas of the vehicle support points as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
5. Lift the support columns as close to the vehicle as possible without the saddles on the columns coming in contact with the vehicle. Make sure the
support columns' teeth are engaged with the locking pawls.
6. Slowly and carefully lower the vehicle on the jack stands. Shock loads or loads dropped abruptly on stands can cause premature metal fatigue or even
stand failure depending on the weight of the vehicle and the speed of decent that impacts the stands' support columns. The load should be supported in
the center of the support column saddles, not the locating lugs of the saddles.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO POSITION OR REMOVE STANDS.
7 Check the load for stability. If the load is not stable, lift the load off the stands and correctly reposition the stands.
8. When work is completed, raise the vehicle high enough off the stands where the stands can be easily removed.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jacks stands in a well protected area where they will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The stands must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign
matter before using.
2. Every jack stand owner is responsible for keeping the stand labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external
surfaces of the stand. Contact Balkamp for a replacement label if your stand's label is not readable.
3. Inspect the stands before each use. Do not use the stands if any component is cracked, broken or bent. Do not use the stand if it has loose or missing
hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before using the stand again. Premature wearing or damage to components
caused by loose or missing hardware is not eligible for warranty consideration.
