Operation
HOW IT WORKS
The jack power unit consists of plunger, oil tank, cylinder and ram.
An upward stroke of thejack handle draws oil from the tank into the plunger.Hydraulic pressure closes
a valve that keeps oil in the cavity.
A downward stroke of thejack handle forces oil in to thecylinder, pushing out the ram and raising the
saddle. NOTE: As a protective feature, when the ram reaches maximum extension, sufficient oil passes
back into the tank to prevent an overex tended ram stroke and possiblejack damage.
When therelease valveis open, oil flows back intoth e tank, causing the ram to retract, lowering the saddle.
It is the owner and/or operators responsibilitytostudy all warnings, operating and maintenance
instructions found on theproduct sticker and instruction manual before using this unit. The
owner/operators shall retain product instructions for future reference.

Care and Cleaning
INSPECTION
The product shall be maintained according to these instructions.
You may not alter this product in any way.
1. Before using, a thorough inspection shall be made on the jack. Look for leaking hydraulic fluid,
cracks in thewelds, bent, damaged, loose, worn or missing parts.
2. Inspect according to this manual ONLY.
3. If the jack has been subjected to abnormal load or shock (abuse), perform an immediate inspection.
Take the product to a local customer service representative for an authorized inspection before use.
Maintenance
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any
restriction due to dirt, rust, etc., can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks,
damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed to keep the jack well lubricated:
1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil. Grease bearings
and axles.
2. Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
3.
4.
Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
Check ram after each use for any sign of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oil
cloth. When not in use, always leave the saddle and ram all the way down.
Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will help protect the critical areas from
excessive corrosion.
Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals. Always
purchase and use hydraulic jack oil.
CHECKING OIL LEVEL

Removing the Oil Plug
□Release valve must be turned
counterclockwise to allow
the ram to fully retract. You
may need to press down on
the saddle to lower.
