THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of Portable Automotive Lifting Devices are subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only
by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of the device
who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the device and its proper use when servicing motor vehicles
and their components. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads,
overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use jack if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, leaking hydraulic fluid, or
unstable due to loose or missing components. Make corrections before using.
• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• User and bystander must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity. Do not shock load.
• THIS IS A LIFTING DEVICE ONLY. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with jack stands capable of sustaining the
load before working on the vehicle.
• Use only on a hard level surface free from obstructions so the jack is free to reposition itself during lifting and lowering
operations.
• Center load on saddle. Be sure setup is stable before working on vehicle.
• Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack.
• Do not use any materials that may serve as risers, spacers or extenders between the stock lifting saddle and the load.
• Do not use any adaptors that replace the stock lifting saddle unless approved or supplied by the jack manufacturer.
• Do not use (or modify) this product for any other purpose than that for which it was designed without consulting the
manufacturer's authorized representative.
• Always lower the jack slowly and carefully.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT AVOIDING HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
Failure to read this manual completely and thoroughly, failure to understand its OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY WARNINGS,
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS and comply with them, and failure to comply with the METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
could cause accidents resulting in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.

INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic uid and damaged, loose or missing parts. Any
jack which appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE
until necessary repairs are made.
SETUP
1. Remove 2-piece handle from box. Insert narrow portion of top handle into bottom handle, align top and bottom bolt holes, and secure with handle
bolt provided.
2. Grease the inside of the handle yoke so the handle will rotate freely inside the yoke. Remove the handle yoke screw. Insert the end of the lower handle
all the way in the handle yoke until it engages the release valve assembly. Secure the handle in the handle yoke by reinstalling the handle yoke screw
and tightening the screw. Rotate the handle to see if it is rotating the release valve assembly. Pull on the handle to make sure it is secured in the handle
yoke. If the release valve assembly is not rotating and/or the handle pulls out of the handle yoke, repeat step 2.
3. IMPORTANT: In most cases the jack should work normally right out of the box but it is not unusual for air to get trapped in the jack’s hydraulic system
during shipping and handling. There are several symptoms of an air trapped hydraulic system which include only partial incremental pump stroke,
jack will not lift load, jack will not sustain load or pumping feels spongy under load. The following procedure will purge air from the hydraulic system
and only needs to be done if experiencing the above mentioned conditions.
a) The saddle should be in its lowest position. Remove the four screws that secure the cover plate to the jack frame so the oil filler screw can be
removed from the hydraulic power unit reservoir tube.
b) Look inside the oil fill screw hole. You should be able to see the top of the power unit’s cylinder. The hydraulic fluid level should be no higher
than the top of the cylinder. Correct the fluid level if it is not at the proper height. CAUTION: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure,
never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil, a light turbine oil, Chevron Hydraulic Oil AW ISO
32 or Unocal Unax AW 150.
c) Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until it stops. Pump the jack against a load of at least 500 pounds (225 Kgs). After
the load is raised to maximum height, slightly turn the handle in a counterclockwise direction so the load is very slowly lowered, while
simultaneously and quickly pumping the handle 5 or 6 full incremental pump strokes. After pumping, lower the lift arm to its full rest position.
d) Install the oil fill screw. Rotate the handle in a clockwise direction until tight and pump the lift arm to maximum height without a load. Repeat steps
a) through d) until all the air has been purged from the system. Reinstall the cover plate.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death. IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check
vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
OPERATION
1. Put vehicle transmission in park or in gear and then apply the emergency brake.
To raise load: Turn the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Position the jack under the load. Proceed to pump the handle
in order to raise the lift arm to the load. As the saddle at the end of the lift arm gets closer to the load, reposition the jack so the
saddle will contact the load rmly and the load is centered on the saddle. Make sure the saddle is correctly positioned. Raise the
load to the desired work height. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity at the vehicle manufacturers's recommended support
areas that provide stable support for the raised vehicle. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING
OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS! Once jack stands are positioned, turn the jack handle VERY SLOWLY in a counterclockwise
direction to lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Inspect the relationship between the jack stands and load to make sure the setup
is stable and safe. If the setup is not stable or safe, follow the preceding steps until corrected.
2. To lower load: Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise load" section of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in order to raise
the load off the jack stands. Once the load has cleared the jack stands, remove the jack stands from under the load and away from the
work area. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS! Turn
handle very slowly in a counterclockwise direction until the load is completely lowered to the ground. Once the jack's lifting saddle has
cleared the load, remove the jack from under the load. CAUTION: Keep hands and feet away from the hinge mechanism of the jack.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust,
or any other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease, or other foreign matter before using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to
caster wheels, front axle, elevator arm, handle base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other bearing surfaces. Worn parts resulting
from inadequate or no lubrication are not eligible for warranty consideration. See page 4 for lubrication instructions.
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake uid, or transmission oil in the
jack. Use hydraulic jack oil, a light turbine oil, Chevron AW ISO 32 or Unocal Unax AW 150.
3. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external
surfaces of the jack but not any moving hydraulic components.
4. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage or leaks
hydraulic uid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modied in any way. Take corrective action
before using the jack again.
PROPER STORAGE
It is recommended that the jack be stored in a dry location with all wheels touching the ground on a relatively level surface.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Important: Service jacks are self-contained devices used for lifting, but not sustaining, a partial vehicular load. In accordance with ASME-
PASE Load Sustaining Test: “A load not less than the rated capacity…shall not lower more than 1/8" (3.18mm) in the rst minute, nor a total
of .1875" (4.76mm) in 10 minutes.” Lowering within this range is considered normal operation and is NOT a warrantable defect.
PROBLEM ACTION
1. Unit will not lift rated load. Purge air from hydraulic system by following procedure under SETUP.
2. Unit will not sustain rated load or feels “spongy” under rated load. Purge air from hydraulic system as above.
3. Unit will not lift to full height. Purge air from hydraulic system as above.
4. Unit will not lower completely. Check oil level. Make sure hydraulic system is not overfilled.
5. Handle tends to raise up while the unit is under rated load. Pump the handle rapidly several times to push oil past ball valves in
power unit.
6. Unit still does not operate. Contact customer service (page 6).
