SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Read-Study and understand all warning and operating instructions prior
to use. DO NOT OVERLOAD this jack beyond its rated capacity. This jack is
designed for use on hard level surfaces only. This is a lifting device only.
The load must be supported immediately by other appropriate means
such as correctly rated axle stands. DO NOT move or dolly the vehicle while
on the jack: Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specied by the vehicle
manufacturer. No alterations to the jack shall be made. Failure to heed these
warnings may result in damage to jack and/or failure resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Always Inspect the jack before each use.
SAFETY INFORMATION FOR FIRST USE:
Sometimes during shipment air can get into the hydraulic system, causing
poor lifting performance. Purge any air from the system by turning the jack
handle one full turn anti-clockwise. With the saddle down pump the handle
rapidly 8 full strokes. Turn the jack handle clockwise to close the valve. Pump
the jack handle until the saddle reaches max height and continue to pump
several times to remove trapped air in the ram. Carefully and slowly pinch
oil ll plug to release the trapped air. Turn handle anti-clockwise and lower
saddle completely. Finally turn handle clockwise to closed position and
check for correct pump action. This procedure may have to be performed
more than once to ensure all the air is evacuated.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Raising the Jack
Lowering the Jack
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. Locate and 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 the lift point.
4. Verify lift point then use handle pump to contact lift point. To lift, pump
handle until load reaches desired height.
5. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.
2. Remove jack stands, carefully.
3. Slowly turn the release valve (handle) counter-clockwise, but no more
than 1/2 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
4. After removing jack from under the load, push saddle down to reduce
ram exposure to rust and contamination.
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, lower the load by turning the operating
handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn.
General Maintenance Procedures:
Always use good quality hydraulic oil. If possible do not mix oils. Never use
any other type of oil or uid as this will invalidate the warranty. When lling
the jack with oil ensure no dirt or any other substance to enter the hydraulic
system. Check the hydraulic system every 4 months to ensure it is free from
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean the part with an oily cloth. Always
store the jack in a lowered position.
