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, 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 lower 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 into pre cut grooves and twist to lock in place.
Handle - Handle Wrench
With the jack sitting on its base on a flat surface, place
handle wrench 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 jack operation as follows BEFORE using to lift any load. With handle on the release valve turning
clockwise or counter clock wise allows jack to be raised and lowered. To raise jack, twist 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 jack about halfway. If jack does not begin
to rise after a few pumps, check to make sure the release valve is tight. With jack raised, place handle on
release valve twist handle slowly counterclockwise to lower jack. A normal hissing sound may be heard as
jack lowers and pressure in hydraulic cylinder is released.

OPERATING JACK
Preparing Work Area
Before using 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 jack for damage or wear before each use. Briefly test operation of unloaded jack
before using to lift any load. If jack is damaged or is malfunctioning DO NOT LIFTANY 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 jack is 8000 kg. 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.) The hydraulic vehicle jack should be used for lifting and lowering only; the raised vehicle should be
supported on vehicle support stands.
7.) Be sure jack and vehicle are on solid, level ground such as paved or concrete driveway or garage floor.
The jack should be used on level firm ground wherever possible. Uneven or sloped surfaces
create hazardous working conditions and dangerously impeded the function of the jack.
8.) With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle’s parking brake 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.
9.) 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 tire cannot roll over, position one chock tight against the
tyre in both forward and reverse rolling paths.
10.) The load should be centrally located on the head cap. Off centre loads can be unstable.
11.) The hydraulic vehicle 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 jack stands, 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.
12.) Plan location of jack beneath vehicle, making sure 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 lifting arm completely lowered, roll jack into position beneath jack support area of vehicle.
DO NOT MANOEUVRE JACK WITH HANDLE ON THE RELEASE VALVE
2.) Twist jack handle completely clockwise on the release valve. Place handle in sleeve and slowly pump
handle until head cap just begins to contact support area on underside of vehicle.
3.) Inspect position of 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.) SLOWLY twist jack handle counterclockwise to ease vehicle down onto jack stands.
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 vehicle ignition
or attempt to start any vehicle supported by jack or jack stands.
Lowering Vehicle
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.) Twists handle completely clockwise. Pump handle until head cap just makes contact with support area
under vehicle.
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.) With firm grip on jack handle, SLOWLY twist handle counterclockwise until jack just begins to lower.
6.) Carefully control speed of 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, SAE 10 Hydraulic oil is
recommended.Avoid mixing types of oil, DO NOT use Brake Fluid, Alcohol, Glycerin, Detergent, Motor Oil

Adding Oil:
With head cap fully lowered lay jack on its side with air vent valve facing up, hold the jack vertical or use a rag
or block to maintain a vertical position, remove Air Vent Valve 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 valve.
Replacing Oil:
For better performance & longevity, replace oil supply once a year. To drain oil, open Air Vent Valve and
loosen the release Valve by turning handle counterclockwise. 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 good grade Hydraulic Jack Oil close Air Vent Valve 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.
