SETUP
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 (#34) 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) Turn the pump handle (#32) all the way to the right (clockwise) until it stops. Now turn the handle to the left (counterclockwise)
two full rotations.
b) Hold the saddle (#3) down in its lowest position while pumping the jack 15 full pump strokes.
c) Release any pressure on the saddle (#3) and turn the pump handle (#32) all the way to the right (clockwise) until it stops.
d) Pump the jack so the saddle raises to maximum height.
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: Close release valve tightly (by turning handle clockwise). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Position jack under load so that saddle
will contact load firmly and load is centered so it cannot slip. Operate jack handle until saddle approaches the load. Once again, check
to see that saddle is correctly positioned. Raise load to desired height. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity under the vehicle. DO
NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING JACK STANDS! Place jack stands at vehicle
manufacturer's recommended support areas that provide stable support for the raised vehicle. Once jack stands are positioned, open the
release valve VERY SLOWLY (by turning the handle counterclockwise). Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Then, make sure that the
release valve on the jack is closed tightly (by turning the handle clockwise).
2. To lower load: Re-check to make sure release valve is tightly closed. Then, operate the jack handle until the load is raised enough to
remove the jack stands. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS! Once
jack stands are removed, open release valve very slowly to lower the vehicle. Lower jack completely so that the vehicle is securely resting
on the ground and the jack no longer makes contact with vehicle. 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. See page 4 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
NAPA Hydraulic Jack Oil #765-1541.
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.
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.
