1. Before each use, inspect the general
condition of the jack. Check for broken,
cracked, or bent parts, loose or missing
parts, and any condition that may affect the
proper operation of the product. Any jack
that appears damaged in anyway must be
removed from service. Have the problem
corrected before further use. DO NOT use
damaged equipment.
2. Replace worn or damaged parts with Perfor-
mance Tool replacement parts. Be sure that
only qualified personnel perform repairs.
3. Before each use, thoroughly test the jack for
proper operation prior to its actual use.
4. When jack is not in use, jack should be in
fully down position to keep their machined
surfaces free from corrosion.
5. Keep jack clean and well lubricated at points
illustrated in figure 5.
6. For best results, use only high quality
lightweight oil.
7. Keeping the screw rod (4) well oiled and free
of rust will avoid the jack binding during use.

Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads.
Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc. can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks,
damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed to keep the jack maintained
and operational.
