WARNINGS
1) Locate the jack in a suitable working area.
2) 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 hardware or parts. Make corrections before using.
3) Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tar macadam as jack may sink in. Chock
wheels of vehicle.
4) Ensure the vehicle’s parking brake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or
“PARK” if automatic).
5) Ensure minimum distance of 2 feet between vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc. to allow
for vehicle tilting.
6) Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance while the jack is in use.
7) Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
8) Place jack under only those lifting points recommended by vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle’s owner’s
manual).
9) Check that the lifting point is stable and centered on the jack saddle.
10) Ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
Danger: Use the jack for lifting only!
11) Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
12) Use a pair of suitable axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
13) Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the jack.
14) Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy duty work gloves during use.
15) Ensure that only hydraulic jack oil is used in the jack.
DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
DO NOT allow the vehicle to move during lifting or lowering, or use the jack to move the vehicle.
DO NOT jack vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid or other dangerous substances.
DO NOT work under the vehicle until appropriately rated axle stands have been correctly positioned.
DO NOT fill hydraulic system with brake fluid, alcohol or transmission oil. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
DO NOT use for aircraft purposes.
16) When not in use store jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof location.
17) The warnings, precautions and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PURGING
To purge hydraulic system:
1. Open the release valve by turning it two full turns counter-clockwise.
2. Quickly pump the handle a minimum of four full strokes.
3. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise.
4. Pumping the handle with full strokes to check if it can reach the maximum height by ten pumps.
If it can’t reach the maximum height by ten pumps, please refer to the following
special purging process:
5. Open the release valve by turning counter-clockwise and lower the lifting arm to the minimum height.
6. Put the jack on a flat working table, lift the front part of the jack to make sure the front part is at least 20”
higher than the end part of the jack. See the following picture.
7. Quickly pump the handle a minimum of four full strokes.
8. Put the jack on a flat surface and close the release valve by turning it clockwise.

MAINTENANCE
Monthly Maintenance
Lubrication is critical to jacks, since they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt or rust can cause
either slow jack movement or extremely rapid jerks, causing damage to the internal components. To keep
the jack well lubricated, carry out the following steps.
1. Lubricate the linkages, the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil
2. Grease the wheel bearing and axles.
3. Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.
Three-Month Maintenance
At three-month intervals, check the pump for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean the pump as required and
wipe with an oil cloth.
