8.) With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle's parking brake or emergency brake and choose the parking gear position
(manual transmissions should be placed in lowest gear). TURN VEHICLE IGNITION OFF AND TO THE "LOCK" POSITION making
sure steering wheel locks.
9.) The unlifted wheels of the vehicle should be chocked. Do not rely on vehicle transmission or brakes to hold vehicle in
position. Chock all wheels of vehicle not being lifted off the ground to prevent vehicle rolling. Using wedge-shaped blocks
that the tyre cannot roll over, position one chock tight against the tyre in both forward and reverse rolling paths.
10.) The load should be centrally located on the head cap. Off centre loads can be unstable.
11.) The hydraulic trolley jack should be used for lifting and lowering only; the raised vehicle should be supported on vehicle
support stands. Vehicle support stands (not included) will be needed to support vehicle once it is in raised position. Have jack
stands, vehicle support stands capable of supporting vehicle weight ready nearby for use. Read and understand jack stand
manufacturer's instructions and safety information before use and before lifting the vehicle with this jack.
12.) Plan location of jack beneath vehicle, making sure jack will be contacting only a jack support area of vehicle. Consult
vehicle owner's manual for location of jack support areas.
Lifting vehicle
Lifting a vehicle using a jack can be dangerous. Follow all instructions and precautions below. Do not lift any vehicle with its
engine running or start any vehicle that is supported by jack or jack stands.
1.) With lifting arm completely lowered, roll jack into position beneath jack support area of vehicle.
2.) Twist jack handle completely clockwise. Slowly pump handle until lifting head cap just begins to contact support area on
underside of vehicle.
3.) Inspect position of head cap beneath support area, making sure it is centered and properly engaging support area.
4.) Continue pumping handle until vehicle is lifted to desired height. Pay attention to head cap position as vehicle is being
raised to be sure there is no danger of support area slipping off or lifting from the head cap.
5.) Place jack stands under additional vehicle support areas.
6.) SLOWLY twist jack handle counter-clockwise to ease vehicle down onto jack stands.
Working on vehicle
Any vehicle being supported by a jack or jack stands creates a potentially hazardous working environment. Do not move or
roll a jack that is supporting a vehicle. Never place any part of your body beneath a vehicle supported by a jack. Be careful of
forces applied to vehicle such as torque on a nut or bolt. These forces could cause vehicle to become unstable on jack stands
if jack stands are not properly placed. Do not turn vehicle ignition or attempt to start any vehicle supported by jack or jack
stands.
Lowering vehicle
Before lowering vehicle, be sure area under and near vehicle is clear of all persons and obstructions.
1.) Re-position jack under same support area used to lift vehicle.
2.) Twists handle completely clockwise. Pump handle until head cap just makes contact with support area under vehicle.
3.) Check to be sure head cap is centered under support area. Slowly pump handle to lift vehicle off from jack stands.
4.) Remove jack stands, setting them aside, well clear of vehicle.
5.) With firm grip on jack handle, SLOWLY twist handle counter-clockwise until jack just begins to lower.
6.) Carefully control speed of descending vehicle. Lowering a vehicle too fast can cause property damage or injury.
Maintenance and storage
Lubricating
All moving parts on jack should be lubricated every month with a general purpose grease to maintain efficient operation.
Apply grease to joints on lift arm hinges, push rods; handle base, rear caster wheels, front roller, etc. Lifting arm pivot point
#37 needs to be well lubricated or jack may make creaking sounds under heavy loads.
Maintaining oil level
Important Note: When adding or replacing oil, always use SAE 10 Hydraulic Jack Oil. Avoid mixing types of oil. DO NOT use
brake fluid, alcohol, glycerin, detergent, motor oil or dirty oil. Improper fluid can cause serious internal damage to the jack.
Adding Oil: With head cap fully lowered & jack on level ground, remove Air Vent Valve. Oil level should be visible at the air
vent valve hole approx 12 mm below valve hole, do not overfill. If low, add oil as needed then close air vent valve.
Replacing Oil: For better performance & longevity, replace oil supply once a year. To drain oil, open Air Vent Valve and
loosen the release Valve by turning handle counter clockwise. BE VERY CAREFUL not to permit dirt or foreign matter to get
into the system. Invert jack over suitable container and allow oil to drain. Close release valve by turning handle clockwise,
fill with SAE 10 Hydraulic Jack Oil close Air Vent Valve wipe away any spilt fluid. Test the jack before lifting a load.
