PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This roduct is designed to lift, osition, or move, but not
sustain, rated ca acity loads. It is not designed to be used
as a stand-alone device. Any load lifted, ositioned, or
otherwise moved by this device, must immediately be
su orted by a ro riately rated mechanical means. A wide
variety of a lications exist for this category of roduct.
S ecial skill, knowledge and training may be required for a
s ecific task and this roduct may not be suitable for all
jobs listed. Unsuitable a lications include a lications that
call for a device to lift, osition, move or su ort ersons,
animals, hazardous materials, mobile homes and
dwellings in general, mirrors, late glass or to connect/
secure hatches, com onents, and materials between
bulkheads. The user ultimately must make the decision
regarding suitability of the roduct for any given task and
therefore acce t res onsibility for that decision.

BEFORE USE
Before using this jack, ensure that the intended load
contact oint is able to withstand the load a lied by this jack.
1. Before using this roduct, read the owner’s manual
com letely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
roduct, its com onents, and recognize the hazards
associated with its use.
2. To familiarize yourself with basic o eration, use the
o erating handle to engage and turn the release valve:
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further thread
engagement. This is the ‘CLOSED’ release valve
osition used to ressurize the hydraulic fluid and
raise the ram lunger.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn from the
closed osition. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve osition
used to lower the ram lunger.
3. Check that the um o erates smoothly before utting into
service. Re lace damaged or missing arts with factory
authorized re lacement arts only. Re air of this roduct
may require s ecial skills and knowledge and should only
be attem ted by a factory authorized service center. Contact
the manufacturer or distributor of this roduct for a list of
factory authorized service centers. Lubricate as instructed
in Maintenance Section.
Bleeding/ Venting Trapped Air
With the release valve in the OPEN osition (2b above) and
with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil filler lug.
Insert the handle into the handle sleeve; then um 6 to 8 full
strokes. This will hel release any ressurized air which may
be tra ed within the reservoir. Oil level should be even with
the bottom of the oil filler lug hole. Reinstall the oil filler lug.
Use of this device may require special skills and
knowledge. Read, understand, and follow all printed materials
provided with and on this device before use.
!
To a oid personal injury and/or property damage:
• Read, understand and follow all rinted materials
rovided with and on this jack.
• This is a lifting de ice only! Ne er work on, under, or
around a load su orted only by a hydraulic jack.
• Immediately su ort the lifted load with a ro riately
rated mechanical means.
• Use only on hard, level surfaces ca able of
sustaining rated ca acity loads.
• Center load on saddle.
• No alteration shall be made to this device. Use only
attachments, ada ters and accessories rovided by
the manufacturer.
• Be alert and sober when using this roduct! Ne er
o erate this equi ment when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
• Use only high grade hydraulic jack oil in this roduct.
• Always use a calibrated means of determining how
much force is being a lied by this roduct. Never
exceed the rated ca acity of the jack.

SPECIFICATIONS
MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid
mixing different ty es of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid,
turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Im ro er
fluid can cause remature failure of the jack and the otential
for sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend
Mobil DTE13M or equivalent.
Adding
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its u right, level
osition. Locate and remove oil filler lug.
2. Fill with oil even with the bottom of the oil filler hole.
Reinstall the oil filler lug.
Changing oil
For best erformance and longest life, re lace the com lete
fluid su ly at least once er year.
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its u right, level
osition. Locate and remove oil filler lug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable
container.
Note: Dis ose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local
regulations.
3. Fill with oil even with the bottom of the oil filler hole. Reinstall
the oil filler lug.
Lubrication
A eriodic coating of light lubricating oil to ivot oints will
hel to ensure that um iston linkages move freely.
Note: Never a ly oil to saddle.
Cleaning
Periodically check the um iston and ram lunger, and
saddle for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and
wi e with a clean, oil soaked rag.
Note: Never use sand a er or abrasive material on these
surfaces !
Storage
Store the jack with um iston, ram lunger/saddle fully
lowered and release valve o en, but never more than 1/2
turn. This will hel revent rust and corrosion to those critical
surfaces.

OPERATION
Use of this device may require special skills and
knowledge. Read, understand, and follow all printed
materials provided with and on this device before use.
Raising the Ram Plunger
1. Locate and close release valve by turning handle
clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further thread
engagement.
2. Pum until load reaches desired height. Immediately
secure with a ro riately rated mechanical devices. It is
recommended you follow the load with cribbing and
blocking where ractical.
Never allow personnel to work or pass under a load
until the load is secured by cribbing, blocking, or other
mechanical means.
Lowering
Make certain that all personnel are clear of the load
before lowering. Control the rate of descent of the load at all
times. The more you open the release valve, the faster the
load descends.
1. Use the manufacturer's rovided o erating handle to
engage and slowly turn the release valve counter-
clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn.
f the operating handle is damaged, operates
abnormally, or will not positively engage the release valve,
immediately discontinue use of the jack until a
manufacturer's replacement handle assembly can be
acquired.
2. Push ram down and handle sleeve in to reduce ex osure
to rust and contamination after removing jack from under
load.
