PREPARATION
Assembly
1. For Model GQ035, assemble the 2-piece handle with provided bolt.
2. Insert handle into the handle fork. Tighten the bolt on handle fork to prevent accidental removal of handle while
in use.
WARNING: Do not lift or carry jack by handle. Handle could dislodge and jack fall, resulting in possible injury
!
or property damage.
Before Use
1. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Omega Tech 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 hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, locate and turn the release valve (handle):
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the 'CLOSED' release valve position used to
raise the saddle.
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 saddle.
4. With saddle fully lowered, and release valve closed, pump the operating handle. If lift arm responds immediately,
jack is ready for use. If jack does not respond, follow Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air procedure below.
5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded saddle throughout the lifting range before putting into
service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Omega
authorized replacement parts only.
Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air
With the Release Valve in the OPEN position (3b above) and Saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the Oil Filler
Plug/Screw. Pump Handle 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within
the reservoir. Check oil level and reinstall Oil Filler Plug/Screw.
OPERATION
