PREPARATION

1. Verify that the product and the application are
compatible, if in doubt contact your local Omega
Techncal Service (888) 332-6419.
2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual
completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with
the product, its components and recognize the
potential hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, locate
and turn the release valve knob (see Fig 1):
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further
turning. This is the 'CLOSED' release valve
position used to raise the lifting arm.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn from
the closed position. This is the 'OPEN' release
valve position used to lower the lifting arm.
4. With lifting arm fully lowered nad release valve
closed, pump the operating handle. If lift arm
responds immediately jack is ready for use. If jack
does not respond, open release valve and pump 6 to
8 full strokes to purge air. Close release valve and
recheck operation
5. Ensure that jack rolls freely, that the pump and
release valve operate smoothly. Raise and lower
the unloaded jack throughout the advertised lift
range before putting into service. Replace worn
or damaged parts and assemblies with factory
authorized replacement parts only.
Bleeding/ Venting Trapped Air
With the release valve in the OPEN position (3b.) and
saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil filler plug/
screw. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release
any pressurized air which may be trapped within the
reservoir. Reinstall the oil filler plug/ screw.
