IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The use of a vehicle jack has inherent dangers, to avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, make sure you are fully aware
of the operating instructions for this product. Follow the recommendations in the vehicle owners manual for jacking of your vehicle
prior to lifting the vehicle. Do not exceed maximum lifting capacity of this jack. This jack is intended for automotive use only. Be aware
that large or heavy vehicles may exceed jack’s stated capacity. Check vehicle owners manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer. Do
not use for any other purpose except the raising and lowering of vehicles. Never use to raise any structure or building. Do not lift any
human load and never ride on jack.
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING JACK
Unpacking Carton
Place carton in a clear, open area such as garage floor.
Remove jack and handle from carton. Assemble handle by
inserting the upper tube into the lower tube.
Handle - Handle Wrench
With the hydraulic jack sitting on its base on a flat surface,
place handle over release valve. Turn handle slowly
clockwise until firm DO NOT over tighten. Remove
handle from release valve and slide handle into handle
operating lever.
Testing Handle Operation
Briefly test hydraulic jack operation as follows BEFORE
using to lift any load. With handle on the release valve turning
clockwise or counter-clockwise allows jack to be raised or
lowered. To raise hydraulic jack, turn handle completely
clockwise until it stops. Do not force or tighten beyond this
point. Take handle from release valve and place in handle
operating lever, pump handle a few times to raise hydraulic
jack about halfway. If hydraulic jack does not begin to rise
after a few pumps, check to make sure the release valve is
tight or refer to maintainance section on how to purge the
jack. With hydraulic jack raised, place handle on release
valve turn handle slowly counter-clockwise to lower jack.
A normal hissing sound may be heard as jack lowers and
pressure in hydraulic cylinder is released.
Purging Air from the hydraulic system
Note: Before first use, the hydraulic system may need to be purged. Some air may intrude in the hydraulic system caused by
movement during shipping. Air bubbles can become trapped inside the hydraulic system, thereby reducing the efficiency of the jack.
Purging air from the system if efficiency drops:
1.) Place the handle on the release valve, turn the handle in a counter-clockwise direction two full turns from the closed position.
2.) Take handle from release valve and place in the handle operating lever, pump the handle 20 times.
3) Place the handle on the release valve and turn the handle in a clockwise direction until tight.
4.) Take handle from release valve and place in the handle operating lever, pump the handle until the ram raises to the
maximum height.
Note: If the condition remains, repeat steps 1 through 4 until all the air is purged from the system.

OPERATING JACK
Preparing Work Area
Before using hydraulic jack to lift vehicle, it is important to prepare work area properly. Follow this procedure each time the jack is
used to help prevent property damage and or serious injury.
1.) Thoroughly inspect hydraulic jack for damage or wear before each use. Briefly test operation of unloaded jack before using to lift
any load. If hydraulic jack is damaged or is malfunctioning, DO NOT LIFT ANY LOAD until the problem is corrected.
2.) The vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual should be consulted prior to the lifting of the vehicle. It will advise safety precautions,
jacking procedure, vehicle weight, recommended jack type, and location of jack support areas on vehicle. The working load limit
of the hydraulic jacks is K12150 - 1850kg, K12151 - 4000kg, K12152 - 6000kg, K12153 - 10000kg, K12157 - 20000kg, K12158 -
10000kg, K12159 - 20000kg. NEVER EXCEED WORKING LOAD LIMIT OF JACK.
3.) Clear children and others from work area before moving or lifting vehicle. Another adult should be nearby for extra safety and
assistance but must be clear of vehicle as it is moved or lifted. No person should remain in a vehicle that is being jacked. No person
should enter a vehicle which is supported by a jack or by vehicle support stands. No person should lean into a vehicle which is
supported by a jack or by vehicle support stands.
4.) No person should place any portion of their body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.
5.) Clear obstructions from work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is dangerous.
6.) Be sure hydraulic jack and vehicle is on a solid level ground such as paved or concrete driveway or garage floor. The hydraulic jack
should be used on level firm ground wherever possible. Uneven or sloped surfaces create hazardous working conditions and
dangerously impede the function of the jack.
7.) With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle’s parking brake on or emergency brake and put gearshift in park (manual transmissions
should be placed in lowest gear). TURN VEHICLE IGNITION OFF AND TO THE “LOCK” POSITION making sure steering wheel locks.
8.) It is recommended that the wheels of the vehicle be chocked. Do not rely on vehicle transmission or brakes to hold vehicle in
position. Chock all wheels of vehicle not being lifted off the ground to prevent vehicle rolling. Using wedge-shaped blocks that tyre
cannot roll over, position one chock tight against the tyre in both forward and reverse rolling paths.
9.) The load should be centrally located on the head cap. Off centre loads can be unstable.
10.) The hydraulic jack should be used for lifting and lowering only; the raised vehicle should be supported on vehicle support stands.
Vehicle support stands (not included) will be needed to support vehicle once it is in raised position. Have vehicle support stands
capable of supporting vehicle weight ready nearby for use. Read and understand jack stand manufacturer’s instructions and
safety information before use and before lifting the vehicle with this jack.
11.) Plan location of jack beneath vehicle, making sure the hydraulic jack will be contacting only a jack support area of vehicle.
Consult vehicle owner’s manual for location of jack support areas.
Lifting Vehicle
Lifting a vehicle using a jack can be dangerous. Follow all instructions and precautions below. Do not lift any vehicle with its engine
running or start any vehicle that is supported by jack or jack stands.
1.) With the hydraulic ram completely lowered, position the hydraulic jack beneath jack support area of vehicle.
DO NOT MANOEUVRE JACK WITH HANDLE ON THE RELEASE VALVE
2.) Turn the handle clockwise until firm DO NOT over tighten. Remove handle from the release valve and slide the handle into
operating lever.
3.) Inspect position of the head cap beneath support area, making sure it is centered and properly engaging support area.
4.) Continue pumping handle until vehicle is lifted to desired height. Pay attention to head cap position as vehicle is being raised to be
sure there is no danger of support area slipping off or lifting from the head cap.
5.) Place jack stands under additional vehicle support areas.
6.) Place handle on release valve and twist the handle slowly counter-clockwise to lower jack.

Working On Vehicle
Any vehicle being supported by a jack or jack stands creates a potentially hazardous working environment.
Do not move or roll a jack that is supporting a vehicle. Never place any part of your body beneath a vehicle supported by a jack. Be
careful of forces applied to vehicle such as torque on a nut or bolt. These forces could cause vehicle to become unstable if jack stands
are not properly placed. Do not turn ON the vehicle ignition or attempt to start any vehicle supported by jack or jack stands.
Lowering Vehicle
WARNING: Before lowering vehicle, be sure area under and near vehicle is clear of all persons and obstructions.
1.) Re-position jack under same support area used to lift vehicle.
DO NOT MANOEUVRE JACK WITH HANDLE ON THE RELEASE VALVE
2.) Turn the handle clockwise until firm DO NOT over tighten. Remove handle from the release valve and slide the handle
into handle operating lever
3.) Check to be sure head cap is centered under support area. Slowly pump handle to lift vehicle off from jack stands.
4.) Remove jack stands, setting them aside, well clear of vehicle.
5.) Place handle on release valve and with a firm grip on jack handle, SLOWLY turn handle counter-clockwise until jack just
begins to lower.
6.) Carefully control speed of a descending vehicle. Lowering a vehicle too fast can cause property damage or injury.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Lubricating
Moving parts on jack should be lubricated occasionally with a light machine oil to maintain efficient operation. Apply oil to joints on lift
arm hinges, push rods, handle base, etc. Wipe away excess oil with soft cloth.
Maintaining Oil Level
Important Note: When adding or replacing oil, always use a good grade Hydraulic Jack Oil, Kincrome K12400 Hydraulic oil is
recommended. Avoid mixing types of oil, DO NOT use Brake Fluid, Alcohol, Glycerin, Detergent, Motor Oil or Dirty Oil, Improper fluid
can cause serious internal damage to Jack.
Adding Oil:
With head cap fully lowered lay jack on its side with air vent plug facing up, hold the jack vertical or use a rag or block to maintain a
vertical position, remove air vent plug being careful not to allow dirt to enter system. Oil level should be approx 12 mm below valve
hole. If low, add oil as needed then close air vent plug.
Replacing Oil:
For better performance & longevity, replace oil supply once a year. To drain oil, open air vent plug and loosen the release valve by
turning handle counter-clockwise. BE VERY CAREFUL not to permit dirt or foreign matter to get into the system. Invert jack over
suitable container and allow oil to drain. Close release valve by turning handle clockwise, fill with Kincrome K12400 Hydraulic Jack Oil
close air vent plug wipe away any spilt fluid. Test jack before lifting a load.
Cleaning
Jack should be wiped clean with soft cloth only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other such solvents or any abrasive cleanser as
cleaning agents and solvents will cause deterioration of the hydraulic seals.
Storage
Before storage, turn the handle 1-1/2 turns counter-clockwise to release pressure in hydraulic cylinder. Leave handle in this position.
Store jack level, in a clean environment preferably indoors, in a dry area to protect jack from moisture.
