SETUP
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Secure the two handle halves #31 and #32 together with the bolt #33.
2. Insert the handle in the handle yoke #23 and rotate it back and forth until the release linkage inside the socket fits up inside the
bottom of the handle. Secure the handle to the handle socket using the handle bolt #22.
3. Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system during shipping and handling. Trapped air will affect the pumping performance of
the jack. If this occurs, follow the air purging procedure below:
a) Rotate the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Rotate the handle in a counterclockwise direction two complete
revolutions. Pump the handle approximately 15 complete pump strokes.
b) Rotate the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Proceed to pump the jack to maximum lift height.
c) Repeat steps a) and b) until all air has been purged from the system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
OPERATION
1. 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 manufacturer'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 handle VERY SLOWLY in a counter
clockwise rotation. 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 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
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
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 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. IMPORTANT: In order to
prevent seal damage and jack failure,never use alchol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil,
a light turbine oil, Chevron AW ISO 32 or Unocal Unax AW 150.
3. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack label clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces
of the jack but not any moving hydraulic components.
4. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage. Do not
use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. If the vehicle is pushed off the jack or
the jack is subjected to a shock load, discard the jack and do not use again.
5. Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you are a qualified hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this
equipment.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Important: Service jacks are self-contained devices used for lifting, but not sustaining, a partial vehicular load. In accordance with ASME-PALD Load
Sustaining Test: "A load not less than the rated capacity...shall not lower more than 1/8" (3.18mm) in the first minute, nor a total of .1875" (4.76mm) in
10 minutes." Lowering within this range is considered normal operation and is NOT a warrantable defect.
