manufacturer's service manual.
Raise saddle:
1. Close release valve by turning release valve knob clockwise firmly.
2. Insert handle into handle sleeve, then pump handle until the load is contacted.
3. Secure load with provided chains.
Ensure center gravity of load is centered on the saddle and load is stable before moving jack. An off-center
transmission could cause the jack to tip or flip over .
Lower saddle:
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load.
Slowly open the release valve!
The more you
turn the knob counter-clockwise, the faster the load will come down.
Maintain control
of the rate of speed
at which the load lowers at all times!

2. Slowly, gently turn the release valve knob counter-clockwise, never more than 1/2 full turn until the load is
completely lowered.
3. Immediately transfer the load to an appropriate work station.
4. After removing load from the jack, ensure that saddle is fully lowered to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.
