SETUP
• Prior to each use, visual inspection (See Pg.2) shall be made to the device by checking for
abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, damaged, loose or missing parts.
• Consult the vehicle owner's manual to determine the location of support points.
• Be sure to set the vehicle in park with the emergency brake on and wheels securely chocked.
• Be sure that the vehicle and the jack stands are on a hard, level surface.
ASSEMBLY
• Insert ratchet bar into collar.
• Lift ratchet bar upward to ensure the ratchet and locking pawl positively engage at each and
every position.
• To lower, lift the handle, disengage the locking pawl from the ratchet bar and slowly move the
ratchet bar down.
• Use a hammer and punch to bend the locking tab inward (3 & 6 Ton). This will prevent the
ratchet bar from accidentally coming loose.

ratchet bar (See bottom of page for details).
