PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This product is designed to lift, position, or move, but not
sustain, rated capacity loads. It is not designed to be used
as a stand-alone device. Any load lifted, positioned, or
otherwise moved by this device, must immediately be
supported by appropriately rated mechanical means. A wide
variety of applications exist for this category of product.
Special skill, knowledge and training may be required for a
specific task and this product may not be suitable for all
jobs listed. Unsuitable applications include applications that
call for a device to lift, position, move or support persons,
animals, hazardous materials, mobile homes and
dwellings in general, mirrors, plate glass or to connect/
secure hatches, components, and materials between
bulkheads. The user ultimately must make the decision
regarding suitability of the product for any given task and
therefore accept responsibility for that decision.

BEFORE USE
Before using this jack, ensure that the intended load
contact point is able to withstand the load applied by this jack.
1. Before using this product, read the owner’s manual
completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components, and recognize the hazards
associated with its use.
2. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, use the
operating 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
position used to pressurize the hydraulic fluid and
raise the ram plunger.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn from the
closed position. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve position
used to lower the ram plunger.
. Check that the pump operates smoothly and that the
extension screw will thread up/down easily before putting
into service. Replace damaged or missing parts with factory
authorized replacement parts only. Repair of this product
may require special skills and knowledge and should only
be attempted by a factory authorized service center. Contact
the manufacturer or distributor of this product 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 position (2b above) and
with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil filler plug.
Insert the handle into the handle sleeve; then pump 6 to 8 full
strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may
be trapped within the reservoir. Oil level should be even with
the bottom of the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.
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 avoid personal injury and/or property damage:
• Read understand and follow all printed materials
provided with and on this jack.
• This is a lifting device only! Never work on, under, or
around a load supported only by a hydraulic jack.
• Immediately support the lifted load with appropriately
rated mechanical means.
• Use only on hard, level surfaces capable of
sustaining rated capacity loads.
• Center load on saddle.
• No alteration shall be made to this device. Use only
attachments, adapters and accessories provided by
the manufacturer.
• Be alert and sober when using this product! Never
operate this equipment when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
