ratedenginestand.
!WARNING
!SAFETYMESSAGE!
Lift only on areas of the engine as specified by
thevehiclemanufacturer.
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before
loweringload.
OPERATION
1. Load capacity should be coordinated with boom
extension and legs extension. Do not extend boom
extension beyond the marking that coordinate with
the legs extension.
2. Ensure application is compatible with product.
3.Secureenginetochain/sling hook assembly,ensuring
loadis centered.
4. Follow vehicle service manual recommendations to
remove engine. When ready to remove engine, turn
releasevalve clockwise untilfirm. Pump handleuntil
loadis high enough to clearvehicle.
5. Immediately upon removal and when clear of the
vehicle,lowertheloadtothelowestpracticalposition
byturning the release valve levercounter-clockwise
slowlyand carefully.
Note: Avoid rolling the loaded engine crane. To help
positionanenginestandifnecessary,moveonlyacross
smooth,level, seamless surfaces.
Before movingensure the load:
a. is lowered to the lowest practical position, but
alwaysbelow the center of gravity.
b.ispreventedfrom swinging and inadvertentshifting.
5. Position a suitable engine stand near the removed
engine, then immediately transfer the load to
appropriateenginesupportdevice(enginestand).
6.Checktoensurestandissecure before working on or

recommendMobil13Morequivalent.
Adding oil
1.Carefullyremove hydraulic jack fromcrane.
2. With ram fully lowered and pump piston fully
depressed, set jack in its upright, level position.
Removeoilfillerplug.
3. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil filler
plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.
Changing oil
Forbest performance and longestlife, replace the
completefluid supply annually.

Jack will not lift load
Jack *bleeds off after lift
Jack will not lift to full extension
• Release valve not tightly closed
• Overload condition
• Fluid level low
• Fluid level low
• Air trapped in system
• Release valve not tightly closed
• Overload condition
• Hydraulic unit malfunction
• Ensure release valve tightly closed
• Remedy overload condition
• Ensure release valve tightly closed
• Remedy overload condition
• Replace hydraulic unit
• Ensure proper fluid level
• Ensure proper fluid level
• With ram fully retracted, remove oil
filler plug to let pressurized air
escape, then reinstall oil filler plug.
Poor lift performance
Jack will not lower after unloading •Reservoiroverfilled • Drain fluid to proper level
Symptom Corrective Action
* "Bleeding off" means that jack begins to slowly lower rather than keep load at height.
