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.
• Use only high grade hydraulic jack oil in this product.
• Always use a calibrated means of determining how
much force is being applied by this product. Never
exceed the rated capacity of the jack.

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. Assemble the -pc handle, ensure that spring clips align with slots.
2. Locate and close release valve by turning handle clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further thread engagement.
. Pump until load reaches desired height. Immediately secure with appropriately rated mechanical devices. It is recommended
you follow the load with cribbing and blocking where practical.
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 provided operating 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 exposure to rust and contamination after removing jack from under load.

MAINTENANCE
Important : Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil,
transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and
immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil DTE1 M or equivalent.
Adding
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove oil filler plug/screw.
2. Fill with oil even with the bottom of the oil filler hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug/screw.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove oil filler plug/screw.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
. Fill with oil even with the bottom of the oil filler hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug/screw.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points will help to ensure that pump piston linkages move freely.
Note: Never apply oil to saddle. If saddle extension threads require lubrication; clean thread surfaces with a clean, dry cloth,
then apply a drop of bearing grease to the threads. Distribute evenly as possible along the thread post.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram plunger, and saddle for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with
a clean, oil soaked rag.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces !
Storage
Store the jack with pump piston, ram plunger and saddle fully lowered and release valve open, but never more than 1/2 turn.
This will help prevent rust and corrosion to those critical surfaces.
Possible Causes Corrective Action
Jack will not pressurize
Jack *bleeds off after lift
* 'bleeds off' means load slowly and
unintentionally lowers after lifting
While lowering, fluid leaks from
reservoir area
Jack saddle will not descend to
lowest advertised height
Ram plunger will not remain
lowered after released from contact
with load (creeps back up)
Poor lift performance
Will not lift to full extension
• Release valve not tightly closed
• Load is too heavy
• Hydraulic unit malfunction
• Reservoir overfilled
• Ram plunger/cylinder deformed,
seized up in ram cylinder and/or
top nut, likely the result of off-
center loading
• Air trapped in system
• Fluid level low
• Air trapped in system
• Hydraulic unit malfunction
• Fluid level low
• Ensure release valve tightly closed
• Consider higher capacity jack
• Contact Service Center
• Drain fluid to proper level
• Contact Service Center
• Follow the Owners Manual instructions
for bleeding air from system.
• Ensure proper fluid level
• Follow the Owners Manual instructions
for bleeding air from system.
• Contact Service Center
