OWNER AND/OR OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITY
It is the owner and/or operator’s responsibility to read and understand all WARNINGS, operating, and maintenance instructions contained
on the product label and instruction manual prior to operation of this unit.
It is also the owner and/or operator’s responsibility to provide maintenance, maintain all decals or warning labels and in general while in
use, maintain the unit in good working order.
If the owner and/or operator is not fluent in English, or Spanish, the product warnings and instructions shall be read to and discussed with
the operator in the operator’s native language by the purchaser/owner or his designee, making sure that the operator comprehends its
contents.
OPERATION
Before use, a visual inspection of the jack should be made looking for bent, worn or loose parts, or hydraulic leaks. If any of these
conditions exist, the jack should be removed from service.
Place the handle on the release valve and rotate in a clockwise direction until closed. Do not overtighten. Place the handle in the pump
socket and pump up and down. The saddle should start to rise indicating it is ready for use. If the saddle fails to rise after the pumping
action, consult the section under Troubleshooting for System Air Purge.
JACK USE
1. Make sure the jack and the vehicle are on a hard level surface.
2. Always set the vehicle parking brake and block the wheels.
3. Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual to ascertain the location of jack points and position the jack beneath the prescribed lift point.
4. Turn the release valve clockwise to closed position. Do Not Overtighten!
5. Pump the handle and raise the vehicle to the desired height.
6. Place jack stands beneath the vehicle at locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and do not get under the vehicle without
jack stands, as jacks are not designed to maintain these heavy loads for long time periods.
7. Turn release valve SLOWLY counterclockwise to lower the vehicle onto the jack stands.
LOWERING THE VEHICLE
1. Turn release valve clockwise to closed position.
2. Pump handle to lift vehicle off of jack stands
3. Remove jack stands. Do not get under or let anyone else under the vehicle.
4. Turn release valve SLOWLY counterclockwise to lower the vehicle onto the ground.
JACK STORAGE
Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will prevent critical areas from excessive corrosion.
MAINTENANCE
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
extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components. The following steps are those designed to keep your jack well lubed:
1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
2. Visually inspect for cracked, bent, loose, or missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
3. If jack is subjected to abnormal load or shock, remove from service and have it examined by an Authorized Repair Service.
4. Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
5. Check and maintain oil level.
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
!!WARNING!!
Do not use brake or transmission fluids, or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals. Always purchase and use products labeled
“Hydraulic Jack Oil”.
1. Turn release valve counterclockwise to allow ram to fully retract. It may be necessary to apply force to the saddle for lowering.
2. Stand jack in vertical position with saddle at the top.
3. With jack in level position remove oil fill plug. Oil should be even with the bottom of the hole. If not, top up. Do not overfill. Always fill
with new, clean hydraulic jack oil.
4. Replace fill plug.
5. Check jack operation.
At this time, consult Troubleshooting for System Air Purge.
