PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This Hydraulic Service Jack is designed to lift, but not support, one end of a vehicle. Immediately after lifting, loads
must be supported by an identical pair of appropriately rated jack stands. This MagicLift™ service jack has a unique
feature that provides fast, no load lifts to the jacking point, at which time it lifts in approximately 3/4" ~ 2" increments.
WARNING: NEVER use hydraulic jack as stand-alone device. After lifting, immediately support the lifted
vehicle with an identical pair of appropriately rated jack stands.

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 application are compatible, if in doubt call Blackhawk 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, 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 saddle.
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 saddle.
4. With the saddle fully lowered and release valve closed, pump the operating handle. If lift arm responds immediately,
jack is ready for use. If jack does not respond, open release valve and pump 6 ton 8 full strokes to purge air.
Close release valve and recheck operation.
5. 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. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Blackhawk
authorized replacement parts only.
Bleeding / Venting Trapped Air
With the release valve in the OPEN position (3b.) and with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil ller
plug. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir.
Reinstall the oil ller plug.
• Study, understand, and follow all printed
materials provided with/on this product before use .
• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Use only on hard, level surface capable of
supporting the load.
• This is a lifting device only! Immediately after
lifting, support the load with an identical 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.
• No alterations shall be made to this product.
FAILURE TO HEED THESE MARKINGS MAY
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE
To avoid crushing and related injuries:
• Never work on, under or around a load supported
only by hydraulic jack.

OPERATION
Lifting
NOTICE 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.
Never use foot pedal to raise loads.
5. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated
jack stands.
WARNING: NEVER use hydraulic jack as a
stand alone device! ALWAYS transfer the lifted load
IMMEDIATELY to an identical 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
NOTICE Be sure all tools and personnel are clear
before owering 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 a 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. Using the functioning jack to lower the vehicle.
4. After removing jack from under the vehicle, fully
lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.
MAINTENANCE
Important: Use ONLY premium 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.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level
position. Locate and remove oil ller screw.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as
seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall the oil ller
screw.
Changing oil
For best performance, replace the complete uid supply
at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil ller plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the uid into a
suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with
local regulations.
3. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as
seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall oil ller screw.
4. Perform bleeding/venting trapped air procedure.
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 or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with
an oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on
these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.
