LOWERING THE JACK
1. Raise load high enough to allow clearance for the
jack stands to be removed, then carefully remove
jack stands.
2. Remove support stands.
3. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands. Securely
hold on to the jack handle so your hands do not slip
and ensure the release valve does not rapidly lower.
4. Carefully open the Release Valve by slowly
turning the handle counterclockwise. (Do not allow
bystanders around the jack or under the load when
lowering the jack.
5. After removing jack from under the load, push ram
and handle sleeve down to reduce exposure to rust
and contamination.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN LOWERING THE JACK. THE JACK
HANDLE MAY TURN RAPIDLY. OPENING
THE RELEASE VALVE TO FAST CAN CAUSE
THE JACK TO LOWER RAPIDLY. FAILURE TO
HEAD THESE WARNINGS COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION
If you use and maintain your equipment properly,
it will give you many years of service. Follow the
maintenance instructions carefully to keep your
equipment in good working condition. Never perform
any maintenance on the equipment while it is under
a load.
Inspection
You should inspect the product for damage, wear,
broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all
components function before each use. Follow
lubrication and storage instructions for optimum
product performance.
Binding
If the product binds while under a load, use
equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to
lower the load safely to the ground. After un-binding;
clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working
properly. Rusty components, dirt, or worn parts
can be causes of binding Clean and lubricate the
equipment as indicated in the lubrication section.
Test the equipment by lifting without a load. If the
binding continues contact Customer Service.
Cleaning
If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed,
use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to
clean the equipment. Remove any existing rust, with
a penetrating lubricant.
Lubrication
This equipment will not operate safely without
proper lubrication. Using the equipment without
proper lubrication will result in poor performance
and damage to the equipment. Some parts in
this equipment are not self-lubricating inspect the
equipment before use and lubricate when necessary.
After cleaning, lubricate the equipment using light
penetrating oil, lubricating spray.
-Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
-For light duty use lubrication once a month.
-For heavy and constant use lubrication
recommended every week.
-NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE
MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!
Rust Prevention:
Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit
assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load lift the equipment as high as it goes
and look under and behind the lifting points. If signs
of rust are visible clean as needed.
Grease Fittings
Some models contain grease fittings the will
regularly need to be greased and lubricated.
How the Jack Operates
With release valve closed, an upward stroke of the
jack handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into the
plunger cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve
closed, which keeps the oil in the plunger cavity.
A downward stroke of the jack handle releases oil
into the cylinder, which forces the ram out. This
raises the saddle. When the ram reaches maximum
extension, oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to
prevent an over extended ram stroke and possible
damage to the jack. Opening the release valve
allows oil to flow back into reservoir. This releases
hydraulic pressure on the ram, which results in
lowering the saddle.
Storing the Jack
1. Lower the Lifting Arm.
2. Place the handle in the upright position.
3. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.
Note: If the jack is stored outdoors, be sure to
lubricate all parts before and after use to ensure the
jack stays in good working condition.
