WARNINg INFORMATION
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages
that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING
BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE, READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY AND THOROUGHLY, UNDERSTAND ITS OPERATING PROCEDURES, SAFETY WARNINGS
AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure all personnel read this manual prior to using these stands. It is also the responsibility of the stand owner
to keep this manual intact and in a convenient location for all to see and read. If the manual or product labels are lost or not legible, contact Mac Tools for
replacements. If the operator is not fluent in English, the product and safety instructions shall be read to and discussed with the operator in the operator's

This product is intended only for use in lifting and supporting vehicle components. Do not use or modify this product for any other purpose than that for which
it was designed without consulting the manufacturer's authorized representative. The use of portable automotive lifting and support devices are subject to
certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to
have owners and personnel involved in the use and operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the
equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading,
off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.

1. Screw the post support in the round base.
2. Thread the large spin handle on the extension screw.
3. Install the bearing assembly in the receiver on top of the support tube.
4. Insert the extension screw assembly through the bearing and into the support tube until the underside of the spin handle rests on the bearing assembly.
5. The model PSFP1500 includes a pedal. Insert the other end of the pedal through the parallel flanges of the post support; raise the pedal high enough
so the clevis pin can be installed through the parallel flanges of the post support. Secure the clevis pin with the washers and cotter pin provided.
1. Makesurethevehicleisproperlysupported,stableandattherequiredworkheightbeforepositioningthestand(s)underthevehiclecomponentto

4. Continue turning the stand's spin handle in a clockwise direction until it applies pressure against the component. This pressure should not exceed what
 isrequiredtosupportthecomponent.Excessivepressuremightcausethevehicleoritscomponenttobecomeunstable.Additionalprecautionshouldbe
taken when using a stand equipped with a foot pedal which can raise the stand's saddle another inch more in height and produce as much as 400 pounds
of force when depressed.
5. Before removing the stand from the component, make sure the component is securely fastened to the vehicle or properly supported by another means.
 Removalofthestandcanbeaccomplishedbyturningthespinhandleinacounterclockwisedirectionuntilthestand'ssaddleisclearofthecomponent.
