OPERATION
Lifting
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied
by the manufacturer shall be used. Lift only
on area of the vehicle as specied by the vehicle
manufacturer.
1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
guidelines for lifting. Engage the emergency brake
and chock each unlifted wheel in both directions to
prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
2.
Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise
until rm resistance is felt.
3. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to
locate approved lifting points on the vehicle. Center
jack saddle under lift point.
4. Verify lift point, then pump handle to contact lift
point. To lift, pump handle until load reaches desired
height.
5. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated
jack stands.
NEVER use hydraulic jack as a stand
alone
device! ALWAYS transfer the lifted
load IMMEDIATELY to a pair of appropriately rated
jack stands. NEVER place any portion of your body
beneath the vehicle when lifting or lowering!
Lowering
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before
lowering load. Slowly open the release valve!
The more you turn the handle counter-clockwise, the
faster the load will come down. Maintain control of the
rate of speed at which the load lowers at all times!
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.
2.
Remove jack stands carefully. (always used in pairs).
3. Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise, but no
more than 1 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough
to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the malfunctioning jack and then the jack
stands.
c.
Using the functioning jack to lower the
vehicle.
4. After removing jack from under the vehicle, fully
lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.
MAINTENANCE
Use only Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent
hydraulic jack oil. Improper uid can cause
premature failure of the jack and the potential for
sudden and immediate loss of load.
Adding oil
It is difcult to conrm the correct oil level by simply
looking into the oil reservoir after removing the air vent
screw *Correct oil level allows the saddle to reach its
advertised maximum height and its advertised minimum
height.
• Too much oil will not allow the saddle to lower
completely.
•Too little oil will not allow the saddle to raise
completely.
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level
position. Remove air vent screw.
2. *Fill until oil nearly covers the inner cylinder as seen
from the oil ller hole. Reinstall the air vent screw.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the
complete uid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove air vent screw.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the uid into a
suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with
local regulations.
3. Fill until oil nearly covers the inner cylinder as seen
from the oil ller hole. Reinstall air vent screw.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points,
axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs
of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with
an oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on
these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully
lowered.
