INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLEEDING AIR
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 bleeding procedure below:
STEP 1: Turn the handle to the right until it stops. Pump the handle from its vertical position to its horizontal position WITHOUT A LOAD
to raise the lift arm to maximum height. If the jack raises to maximum height in 4 to 5 pump strokes, it is ready for use.
If the jack does not go to the maximum height WITHOUT A LOAD in 4 to 5 strokes, follow step 2.
STEP 2:

OPERATION
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

2. Grease the inside of the handle yoke (#24) and remove the handle set
screw (#23) from the handle yoke (#24). Insert the handle all the way
in the handle yoke (#24) until it engages the universal joint assembly
(#29). Secure the handle to the handle yoke (#24) with the handle set
screw (#23).

UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING
THE JACK STANDS! Once jack stands are positioned, turn the handle VERY
SLOWLY in a counterclockwise direction. 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.
