Installation
1) Install a ¼ NPT male quick disconnect coupling in Air Valve & Handle assembly. Match to
shop fittings.
2) Place jack assembly on lift rack rails.
3) Jack requires a clean, dry and lubricated air source at 125 lbs.
Operation
Note: Before lifting a vehicle, operate the jack through a couple of cycles to become familiar
with the controls.
1) Roll jack forward before moving vehicle on lift rack. Be sure vehicle is centered on
rack, apply parking brake and chock wheels.
2) Roll jack(s) to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pick-up points. Extend lift
arms to proper lift points. Select the correct height adapter to reduce the gap
between top of jack and pick-up point, secure adapter by sliding them under the lift
brackets. Adapters can be arranged or stacked in various combinations to directly
engage with the vehicle.
3) Raise jack by pressing the lever on the air valve to the right to inflate the jack to a
desired height or maximum position of approx. 8 inches. Leave the jack inflated in
this position, the spring loaded safety blocks are in position should air pressure
decrease. If maximum height isn’t required rest jack into a lock position with the
jack still pressurized.
4) When lowering jack press the yellow safety release lever on the right side of the jack
all the way down with your right hand, and push the air valve lever to the left to
release the air pressure with your left hand. Both levers must be held firmly until the
jack is in the bottom position. If the jack wasn’t at maximum height, you must inflate
and raise the jack sufficiently to free the safety catch before pressing the safety lever
down and releasing the air pressure.

Maintenance
Weekly:Inspect jack and it’s components for damage or excessive wear. Replace parts
as required. See parts list.
Oil guide pins-DO NOT GREASE. The guide pins (visible when jack is in the up
position) should be oiled every week or sooner if necessary with gear oil (80-90
grade).
Confirm that the clean/filtered shop air is being bused (water separator is
recommended). Check the air pressure being used to verify that the minimum of
120 psi is being used.
Check the hex-head bolts to ensure that they are tight. The bolts can be
tightened by attaching an Allen key to the bolt on the bottom of the guide pin
(under the jack) to hold the guide pin securely while the top bolt is being
tightened.
Ensure that the rail is clean and free from debris before rolling the jack into
position.
IMPORTANT!
Failure to keep lift free of corrosive agents and solvents will lead to reduced service life, which
could result in property damage and/or personal injury. If any problems are encountered,
contact your local service representative.
