OPERATION
Lifting
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used. Lift only on areas of the
vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for lifting.
2. Position vehicle on hard level surface with parking brakes "ON". Chock wheels at opposite end. When lifting trailers,
lower landing gear.
3. Connect air control valve with a quick coupler, then attach to air supply of 200 psi maximum. The unit is now ready
to use.
Note:
Actuation of the air control valve will raise and lower the lift post.
4. Position the unit under the lift point of the vehicle.
5. Push the air control valve lever toward air supply input to raise the lift post until it contacts lift point. Continue to hold
until it reaches desired height.
Operating the jacks simultaneously
These jacks are often used in pairs, simultaneously operating both units' air control valves from one air line offers
advantages (refer to figure 2). Follow the proper instruction on the use of the jacks simultaneously from one air line.
a. Raise the lift post or extension post manually on each unit to engage the manufacturer's recommended lift point.
b. Keep both lift post/extension post at equal heights and insert the lock pin in the nearest through hole in the lift
post/extension post so that the lock pin fully engages both sides of the head plate.
Note:
This position may not fully engage the lift point on the vehicle until the unit is pressurized to lift the load. If
the lift post is not fully engaged with the lift point, slowly apply air pressure until the lift post engages the lift points
on the vehicle.
c.
Before lifting
, ascertain that the lift post saddle is positioned such that the lift point is cradled and captured on
both sides by the saddle ears on each side of the lift post.
d. Apply pressure equally.
6. Once the proper height has been achieved, insert the other lock pin through the hole in the ram post such that the
lock pin will fully engage both sides of the head plate when lowered.
7. Before lowering the unit(s) so that the pins fully engage the head plate, make sure that the vehicle is level.
8. Slowly release the air pressure and make sure the lock pin engages fully into both sides of the head plate slot.
9. Ensure the vehicle is level and stable before exhausting the air pressure.
10. Fully discharge the air pressure from the jacks.
11. Before working around the lifted vehicle, ensure the vehicle is level and stable between the jacks.

WARNING
• If using only one jack to do the lifting, be sure that the jack is positioned according to the manufacturers
suggested lifting point and that the load is balanced on the stand side to side.
• Ensure the load is level and stable during and after lifting when lifting with only one jack. Loads that are not
balanced can result in the tipping of the jack which can result in personal and/or property damage.
•
Do not connect two jacks to one control valve
. Operating the jacks in this way can cause of loss of control
during raising and lower the vehicle.
• Failure to heed these markings may result in property damage, personal injury and/or death.
