OPERATION
Before using your jack:
Place pump handle over release valve and turn counter-clockwise to
open. Pump jack about 6 full strokes to ensure complete distribution
of hydraulic fluid. (See Figure 1)
To raise:
Refer to vehicle owner’s manual for
proper jacking procedures. Lift only on areas of vehicle as specified
by manufacturer. Make certain that load is centered on saddle. Place
pump handle over release valve and turn clockwise to close. Insert
handle into handle socket and
pump to raise load to desired
height. ALWAYS support load
with jack stands. (See figure
2)
To lower:
Raise load enough to remove jack stands. SLOWLY turn release
valve counter-clockwise just enough to allow controlled descent.
(Never turn more than 3 full turns)

Valve
1. When jack is not in use, ram and pump piston should be in fully down
position to keep their machined surfaces free from corrosion.
2. Keep jack clean and well lubricated at points illustrated in figure 3.
3. For best results, use only hydraulic fluid with a rating of SAE 10 for
refills. Check fluid level with jack in fully down position. Fluid level
should be up to bottom of oil fill port. (See figure 5)
4. Regularly check for loose, worn or damaged parts. Any jack that
appears damaged in any way must
be removed from service.
5. Replace worn or damaged parts with
Performance Tool replacement parts.
Be sure that only qualified personnel
perform repairs.

FOR YOUR SAFETY,
please read these instructions carefully and retain them for future use.

Read these safety warnings before operation.
WARNING!
Failure to heed these warnings may result in loss of load, dam-
age to jack, and/or jack failure resulting in personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING!
This is a lifting device only. Load must be supported immedi-
ately by Jack Stands.
Do not overload jack beyond rated capacity. Overloading can
cause damage to or failure of the jack.
REFER TO YOUR VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL FOR PROPER
JACKING PROCEDURES. Lift only on areas of the vehicle as
specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
This jack is designed for use only on hard level surfaces capa-
ble of sustaining the load. Use of jack on other than hard level
surfaces can result in jack instability and possible loss of
load.
Be sure all personnel are clear of load before lowering load.
Ensure that no personnel pass underneath load until load is
securely supported by jack stands.
