ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the ASSEMBLY section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
SETUP
Become familiar with the parts identified in these instructions by referring to the PARTS DRAWING on page 6.
1. This jack comes with a saddle riser #5 which is used when lifting a vehicle with higher ground clearance. Normal transportation
vehicles like passenger cars, mid-size vehicles and most sports cars can be lifted using the standard small saddle #3. Full size
pickup trucks and SUVs will probably require the use of the saddle riser #5 in many cases.
2. Changing saddles:
a. The peripheral edge of the large saddle pad #60 is secured in the saddle #6 by its insertion in the groove of the saddle.
Remove the large saddle pad by pulling a section of its peripheral edge out of the saddle groove. Put the saddle pad in a
safe place to prevent loss.
b. The saddle #6 is secured to the lift arm #7 by way of a saddle bolt #61. Remove the saddle bolt with the Allen wrench #26
but keep the saddle in place. Do not lose the saddle bolt #61.
c. Remove the small saddle pad #1 from the small saddle #3 the same way as described in step 2a. The small saddle is
secured to the saddle riser #5 by way of the extended saddle bolt #2 and the retaining ring #4. Remove the retaining ring,
extended saddle bolt, and saddle from the saddle riser. Store the retaining ring #4 and saddle bolt #61 in the appropriate
counterbores of the saddle riser #5.
d. Insert the extended saddle bolt #2 through the hole in the small saddle #3, hole in the saddle riser #5 and hole in the
saddle #6. This will capture the retaining ring #4 and saddle bolt #61 in the saddle riser counterbores. Screw the threaded
end of the extended saddle bolt #2 in the lift arm #7 and tighten with the Allen wrench #26.
e. Reinstall the small saddle pad #1 in the small saddle #3 and secure the Allen wrench in the clip #25.
3. IMPORTANT: In most cases the jack should work normally right out of the box but it is not unusual for air to get trapped in the
jack's hydraulic system during shipping and handling. There are several symptoms of an air trapped hydraulic system which include
only partial incremental pump stroke, jack will not lift a load, jack will not sustain load or pumping feels spongy under load. The
following procedure will purge air from the hydraulic system and only needs to be done if experiencing any of the above mentioned
conditions.
a. The saddle should be in its lowest position. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops. Now turn
the handle counterclockwise two full rotations.
b. Pump the jack 15 full incremental pump strokes to remove air from the hydraulic system.
c. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops. Pump the jack to its maximum height.
d. If the condition seems better, repeat steps a through c until all 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 personal injury and/or property damage.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
1. Determine if the lift application requires the use of the saddle riser #5 and if necessary, make the change according the instructions
in the ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual.
2. The jack's telescopic handle is comprised of the lower handle #43 and upper handle #45. These handles in their collapsed
position are secured together by way of the spring button #44, nearest the hand grip end of the upper handle, engaging a hole in
the lower handle #44. In order to extend the telescopic handles the spring button must be depressed to disengage the hole. The
upper handle can be extended and rotated until the other spring button in the lower portion of the upper handle engages the hole in
the lower handle.
3. The telescopic handle serves two purposes. When collapsed and folded forward, the handle hook #9 can be rotated over the top of
the handle thus providing a means by which to carry the entire jack by the handle. Disengaging the hook from the handle, rotating
the hook out of the way of the saddle height, folding the handle to its pump position and extending the telescopic handle to its
locked position, enables the handle to operate the hydraulic power unit. IMPORTANT: The telescopic handle locks into and
releases from the lower handle yoke #42 by depressing the spring loaded lock #47.
4. Put vehicle transmission in park or in gear and then apply the emergency brake. 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 a little higher than 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 JACK
STANDS! Once jack stands are positioned, turn the jack handle VERY SLOWLY in a counterclockwise direction to 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.
5. To lower load: Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise a 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 jack 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 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 JACK
STANDS!
