INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose or missing parts. Each jack must be
inspected by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately if subjected to an abnormal load or shock. Any jack which appears to be damaged in any way, is
found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally
MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE
until necessary repairs are made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair
facility. It is recommended that an annual inspection of the jack be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that any defective parts, decals
or warning labels be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts. A list of authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.

OPERATINg INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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 to the desired work height. Place jack stands of appropriate
capacity at the vehicle manufacturers's recommended support areas that provide stable support for the raised vehicle.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE
WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE 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.
2.
To lower load:
Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise 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 lifting saddle has cleared the load, remove the jack
from under the load.
DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS!
CAUTION:
Keep hands and feet away from the hinge mechanism of the jack.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful
elements.
The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to all zerk grease
fittings, caster wheels, front axle, elevator arm, handle base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other bearing surfaces. Worn parts resulting from
inadequate or no lubrication are not eligible for warranty consideration. See page 5 for lubrication instructions.
3. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires immediate repair
which must be performed in a dirt-free environment by an authorized service center.
In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid or transmission oil in the jack.
Use hydraulic jack oil only.
4. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the jack but not any
moving hydraulic components.
5. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage or leaks hydraulic fluid. Do not use
the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before using the jack again.
6. Any hydraulic repairs within the warranty period must be performed by an authorized service center.
Failure to follow these Operating Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
