BEFORE FIRST USE
Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system during transit. To purge air:
1. Open the release valve by rotating the handle counter-clockwise one full turn.
2. Place the handle in the handle socket and pump about 4 full strokes to purge the air from the
pump and valving.
3. Close the release valve. Pump the handle until the jack has reached full extension. Continue
to pump several times to purge air from under the ram.
4. Open the release valve and push ram into its lowest position. Close the release valve and
operate normally.
Note: If the jack responds immediately to pump action, it is free of air and ready for operation.
If not, repeat procedure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
TO MOVE:
Place handle in operating lever. Do not move the jack when handle is on the release valve as this
may cause damage to the jack. Do not attempt to move the jack whilst under load.
TO LIFT THE VEHICLE:
1. Park the vehicle on solid, even and level ground. Apply the hand brake, place the vehicle in
gear (P if automatic) and chock the wheels that will remain on the ground.
2. Using the jack handle as a wrench, turn the release valve clockwise until fully tightened,
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
3. Place the handle into the operating lever and position the jack under the jacking point of the
vehicle. Pump up and down until the saddle reaches the jacking point. Before lifting, ALWAYS
ensure that the load point is centred on the jack saddle and cannot slip. Off centre loads can
become unstable and slip resulting in damage or injury.
4. Once secure on the jacking point, begin to raise load to desired height by pumping the handle.
IMMEDIATELY support the vehicle by placing properly rated axle stands under a strong, stable
point on the vehicle. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual and axle stand instruction manual for
guidance. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR
REMOVING JACK STANDS!

5. Once the axle stands are properly located, VERY SLOWLY turn the release valve anti-
clockwise until the vehicle begins to lower onto the stands. Lower the vehicle slowly so as not
to shock load the jack stands.

in place and there is no chance of the vehicle becoming unstable.
TO LOWER THE VEHICLE:
Once repairs are completed raise the vehicle slightly, remove the axle stands and using the
handle as a wrench, VERY SLOWLY turn the release valve anti-clockwise until the vehicle begins
to lower.
CAUTION: Ensure all body parts are kept clear of the jack and vehicle during the raising and
lowering operation.
MAINTENANCE, CARE AND LUBRICATION
