SETUP
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Insert the handle-1 (#S2) in the handle-2 (#S13) so the tie rod-4 (#S19) engages the tie rod-5 (#S20) and the bottom hole in the handle connector
(#S18) is lined up with the hole in the handle-2 (#S13). Install the screws (#S15) in the holes to secure the handle halves together and tighten.
2. Thread two nuts (#25) all the way on the bottom of the tie rod-3 (#S11). Thread the bottom of the tie rod-3 (#S11) all the way inside the slotted
pin (#S12). Now tighten one nut (#25) down on top of the slotted pin (#S12). Slip the spring (#S9) down on the tie rod-3 (#S11). Insert the tie rod-3
(#S11) through the bottom of the bracket that is welded to the handle-2 (#S13) so that the spring is trapped between the bracket and the slotted
pin (#S12). Compress the spring until the cross hole in the tie rod-3 (#S11) is visible on the other side of the welded bracket and install the pin
(#S10) through the hole.
3. Thread another nut (#25) all the way on the tie rod-1 (#S7) and another nut all the way on the top of the tie rod-3 (#S11). Thread the tie rod nut
(#S8) all the way on the tie rod-1 (#S7). Hold the handle lock (#S5) down and away from the t-handle (#S2) while simultaneously threading the tie
rod nut (#S8) nut onto the tie rod-3 (#S11). Thread the tie rod nut on the tie rod until an equal amount of tie rod thread length is engaged on both
tie rods (#S7 and #S11).
4. Raise the handle lock (#S5) up so the slotted pin (#S12) does not come in contact with any of the three holes in the adjustable frame (#11).
Remove the screw (#13) from the handle socket (#12). Insert the handle assembly (#22) in the handle socket (#12) while simultaneously inserting
the slotted pin (#S12) in the adjustable frame (#11) holes. Make sure the hole in the lower portion of the handle assembly (#22) aligns with the
threaded hole in the handle socket (#12) and secure them together with the screw (#13). Move the handle up and down while simultaneously
pulling the handle lock (#S5) down so the slotted pin (#S12) will engage with any of the three locking holes in the adjustable frame (#11).
Make sure the slotted pin will engage all three holes. It might be necessary to adjust the nuts (#25) and tie rod nut (#S8) in order to get proper
engagement. After final adjustment, tighten all nuts.
5. Install the air quick disconnect of your choice in the air valve assembly (#20). Put at least two wraps of pipe dope tape around the disconnect
threads before installation to prevent air leaks.
6. Install the saddle support bracket (#23) on the handle-2 tube (#S13) in the position as shown on the cover of the Owner's Manual and secure the
adaptors in the bracket holes using the r-pins (#29).
7. Sometimes air gets trapped in the hydraulic system during shipment. An air bound hydraulic system feels spongy when pumped:
PURGING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
a. Open the release valve by turning the knob (#S1) at the top of the handle in a counterclockwise direction two full turns from the closed
position.
b. Depress the air valve assembly (#20) for approximately 30 seconds.
c. Close the release valve by turning the knob (#S1) in a clockwise direction until tight.
d. Depress the air valve assembly (#20) until the ram (#P27) raises to maximum height.
e. Repeat steps "a" through "d" until all the air is 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.
1. Become familiar with the identification and function of the operating jack components.
a. The ram (#P27) is the shaft that comes out of the jack when you depress the air valve assembly (#20).
b. The ram (#P27) is equipped with an extension screw which can be unscrewed to extend from the ram if there is not enough hydraulic stroke
to raise the load to the desired height. If additional height is required, extension adapters (#26, #27 and #28) can be inserted in the hole on
top of the extension screw.
c. Larger diameter saddles can be inserted in the extension screw when requiring a larger diameter saddle surface.
2. Chock the vehicle's tires that will not be lifted off the ground prior to lifting the vehicle and if available, apply the emergency brake or any other
method of braking.
3. Position the jack at the designated lift point. Estimate the required ram travel to raise the vehicle to the desired height. If the desired vehicle height
exceeds the entire ram travel, unscrew the extension screw to make up the difference and add an extension adapter if necessary.
4. Lock the handle assembly (#22) in a position that will not interfere with the vehicle when raised or lowered. Keep the handle in that locked position
until the work is completed and you are ready to remove the jack from use.
5. With the jack in the lowered position, push the jack under the vehicle. IMPORTANT: Use the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting
procedures and lifting points before lifting loads. Turn the knob (#S1) clockwise until it stops.
6. In most cases 100 psig input air pressure (do not exceed 200 psig) will lift the maximum capacity load not to exceed 50 tons. Depress the air
valve assembly (#20) until the top of the ram (#P27) comes close to the designated lift point. Make sure the designated lift point is flat, parallel
to the ground and free from grease, any kind of lubricant, and debris. Proceed with pumping the jack in order to lift the vehicle to the desired
height. During lifting, inspect the position of the jack in relation to the ground and the ram (#P27) in relationship to the load to prevent any unstable
conditions from developing. If conditions look like they are becoming unstable, slowly lower the load and make appropriate setup corrections after
the load is fully lowered. Lowering the load is accomplished by slowly turning the knob (#S1) in a counterclockwise direction.
7. When the vehicle or load is lifted to its desired height, immediately place safety support stands (jack stands) in their designated locations and
adjust the stands' support columns up as close to the designated vehicle support points as possible. Although jack stands are individually rated,
they are to be used in a matched pair to support one end of the vehicle only. Stands are not to be used to simultaneously support both ends or
one side of a vehicle. Slowly turn the knob (#S1) in a counterclockwise direction to lower the vehicle onto the safety support stands (jack stands).
Make sure the vehicle is safely supported by the safety support stands' (jack stands) saddles and not the locating lugs of the saddles. Inspect the
relationship of the safety support stands (jack stands) with the ground and the safety support stand (jack stand) columns and saddles with the
vehicle to prevent any unstable conditions. If conditions look unstable, turn the knob (#S1) clockwise and depress the air valve (#20) to raise the
vehicle off the safety support stands (jack stands). Make the appropriate setup changes and slowly and carefully lower the vehicle onto the safety
support stand saddles.
8. After the work is done, pump the jack high enough to remove the vehicle or load from the safety support stand saddles. Be sure load is stable. If
it is not, lower load back onto safety support stands. Make appropriate setup corrections and repeat the step again. Remove the safety support
stands from under the vehicle, being very careful not to move the vehicle.
9. Slowly turn the knob (#S1) in a counterclockwise direction to lower the vehicle or load down to the ground.
