SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1 Depress the spring button at the bottom of the upper handle (#32) half and insert it in the lower handle (#33) half until the spring button engages the hole in the
lower handle half
2 Remove the handle set screw (#35) from the handle yoke (#36) Install the assembled handle into the handle yoke (#36), making sure the bottom of the handle engages
the release valve u-joint (#40)
3 Install the handle set screw (#35) in the handle yoke (#36) and tighten the screw to secure the handle in the yoke
4 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) Remove the reservoir fill plug
b) With the saddle (#3) in its down position, look inside the oil fill screw hole You should be able to see the top of the power unit's pressure cylinder The
recommended hydraulic fluid level should be no higher than the top of the cylinder Correct the fluid level if it is not at the proper height with the recommended
hydraulic fluid mentioned in the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section below
c) Pump the jack against a load that is at least 500 lbs (225 Kgs) After the load is raised, slightly turn the pump handle in a counterclockwise rotation so the load
is very slowly lowered While the saddle is lowering, quickly pump the handle 5 or 6 full incremental pump strokes After pumping, lower the saddle to its full
rest position
d) Repeat steps "a" through "d" until all of the 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 manufacturers'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 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 CAUTION: Keep hands and feet away from the
hinge mechanism of the jack DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS!

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 all zerk grease fittings, 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 See page 5 for lubrication instructions
3 It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak An external leak requires immediate repair which must be
performed in a dirt-free environment by an authorized service center
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid or transmission oil in the jack Use Chevron Hydraulic Oil AW ISO 32 or its
equivalent Unocal Unax AW 150
4 Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the jack but not any moving hydraulic
components Contact Myers for replacement labels if not readable
5 Inspect the jack before each use Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage or leaks hydraulic fluid Do not use the jack if it has
loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way Take corrective action before using the jack again
6 Any hydraulic repairs within the warranty period must be performed by an authorized service center
