WARNING:
After lifting is completed, always support
the load using the proper Simplex U-Rings or
appropriately rated load supports. Never rely on the
cylinder's hydraulic pressure to support the lifted load.
WARNING:
Wait an appropriate amount of time before
working under the load after it is supported by U-Rings
or load supports. Any settling of jack base or load
supports into the ground below must not exceed 1/4 inch [6.4
mm]. If additional settling occurs, reposition jack or load supports
on solid ground.
IMPORTANT:
if there is to be no cylinder movement for more
than one minute, it is recommended that the motor be turned
off to prevent overheating of pump and air motor (models with
manual control valve only).
TO LOWER THE LOAD:
1. Be sure the control valve lever is in the center (neutral/hold)
position. If jack is equipped with pendant, be sure that both
buttons are released (not pressed) so that valve returns back
to the center position.
2. Open the air supply valve. On models equipped with a
manual control valve, the motor will start.
3. Move the control valve lever to the extend position or depress
the pendant up-arrow button. Allow cylinder to advance a
small amount, so that load is lifted off of U-Rings or clears
the load supports. Then place the control valve lever in the
center (neutral/hold) position or release the up-arrow button.
4. After the U-Rings or load supports are removed, move the
control valve lever to the retract position or depress the
pendant down-arrow button to retract the cylinder.
CAUTION:
Be careful while lowering to ensure that the
load is lowered evenly, so that load shifting does not
occur.
5. When load has been fully lowered, place the control valve
lever in the center (neutral/hold) position or release the
pendant down-arrow button. On models with manual control
valve, close the air supply valve to stop the motor.
AFTER COMPLETING THE JOB:
Fully retract the cylinder and close the air supply valve. With the
motor off, shift the control valve several times between the extend
and retract positions to relieve system pressure.
Disconnect the air supply hose and remove any extensions or
spacers from the cylinder. Place U-Rings (if used) on the storage
rack provided on the jack.
Always store the jack and its accessories in a clean and dry area,
free of moisture and direct sunlight.
5.4 Stacking Instructions - Extensions and Spacers
(See Figure 4)
Extensions and spacers are available as optional accessories
from your Simplex authorized distributor. They may be ordered
individually or in sets. Refer to tables 3 and 4 for additional
information.
JE Series extensions allow the jack's useful lifting height to be
increased in increments of 5, 7, 9 or 11 inches [127, 178, 229
or 279 mm]. On short stroke Pow'r-Riser models only, larger
extensions can also be used, allowing the useful lifting height to
be increased in increments of 14 or 18 inches [356 or 457 mm].
JS Series spacers
allow additional fine adjustment of the
extension stack height. They may be used alone or in conjunction
with JE Series extensions.
