PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This Fast Lift Low Prole Service Jack is designed to lift, but not support, one end of a vehicle. The jack must be
used in conjunction with a pair of appropriately rated jack stands. This Service Jack has a unique feature, which
provides fast, no load lifts to the jacking point, at which time it lifts in approximately 0.75~2" increments.

SPECIFICATIONS
!NEVER use a hydraulic jack as a stand-alone device. After lifting, immediately support the lifted vehicle with
a pair of appropriately rated jack stands. NEVER place any portion of your body beneath the vehicle when
lifting OR lowering!

PREPARATION
Assembly
Insert handle into the handle sleeve. Tighten the bolt on handle sleeve to prevent accidental removal of handle while
in use.
Before Use
1. Verify that the product and the application are compatible, if in doubt call Technical Service [phone].
2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation of this jack, locate and turn the release valve (handle):
a. Clockwise until rm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to
raise the load.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 a turn from the closed position. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve
position used to lower the load.
4. Check to ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded saddle throughout the lifting range before
putting into service to ensure the pump operates smoothly.
5. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Blackhawk authorized replacement parts only. Lubricate
as instructed in Maintenance Section.

OPERATION
Lifting
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used. Lift only on area of the
 vehicleasspeciedbythevehiclemanufacturer.
1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for lifting. Engage the emergency brake and chock
each unlifted wheel in both directions to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
2. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until rm resistance is felt.
3. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle. Center jack
saddle under lift point.
4. Verify lift point, then pump handle to contact lift point. To lift, pump handle until load reaches desired height.
5. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
NEVER use hydraulic jack as a stand alone device! ALWAYS transfer the lifted load IMMEDIATELY to a
pair of appropriately rated jack stands. Use one pair of jack stands per vehicle. Rated capacity is per
pair only! Do not exceed rated capacity.
Lowering
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. Slowly open the release valve! The more
you turn the handle counter-clockwise, the faster the load will come down. Maintain control of the rate
of speed at which the load lowers at all times!
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.
2. Remove jack stands carefully (always used in pairs).
3. Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the malfunctioning jack and then the jack stands.
c. Use the functioning jack to lower the vehicle.
4. After removing jack from under the load, fully lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.

• This is a lifting device only!
• Immediately after lifting, support the load with
a pair of appropriately rated jack stands.
• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specied by
the vehicle manufacturer.
• Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack.

MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of uid and Never use brake uid,
turbine oil, transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid can cause failure of the jack and the potential for
sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove vent screw.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16” above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil ller hole. If the oil level is too low, the jack
will not raise to its advertised maximum height. Reinstall the vent screw.
Changing oil
For best performance, replace the complete uid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove the vent screw and drain the uid into a suitable container.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16” above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall vent screw.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with local regulations.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust/corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with oily cloth.
