PREPARATION
Before Use
1. Verify that product and application are compatible. If you have questions about the use of
this jack or its compatibility with your vehicle, contact Pro-Lift Customer Support at (816)
891-6390.
2. Before using this product, read the owner’s manual completely and familiarize
yourself thoroughly with the product, its components and recognize the hazards
associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, use stamped end of the provided handle
to engage and turn release valve:
a. Clockwise until rm resistance is felt to further thread engagement. This is the
‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to raise the load.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn from the closed position.
This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve position used to lower the load.
4. With saddle fully lowered, locate and remove cover plate, then remove oil ller plug.
Insert handle into handle sleeve, then pump 6 to 8 full strokes. Check oil level.
Proper oil level will vary from just covering ram cylinder to 3/16” above it as seen
from oil ller plug hole. Reinstall oil ller plug.
5. Ensure that jack rolls freely and that pump operates smoothly before putting into
service. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with factory Authorized
Replacement Parts only. Contact Pro-Lift Customer Service or distributor of this
product for a list of factory authorized service centers (see Replacement Parts List,
page 7). Lubricate as instructed in Care and Maintenance section, page 5.

PREPARATION (cont.)
Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air
With release valve in OPEN position (3b above) and with saddle fully lowered, locate
and remove oil ller plug. Insert provided handle into handle sleeve; then pump 6 to
8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within
reservoir. Proper oil level will vary from just covering ram cylinder to 3/16” above it as
seen from oil ller plug hole. Reinstall oil ller plug.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT use this device to lift, level, lower, support, adjust or otherwise
move a house, mobile home, travel trailer, camper, or building structure of any type,
size, or conguration.
NOTICE: Use ONLY on vehicles whose lift points are compatible with the saddle of
this jack. Incompatibility may result in structural damage to vehicle and/or jack.
Lifting
1. Place vehicle in park, with emergency brake on and wheels securely chocked to
prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
2. Locate and close release valve by turning handle clockwise until rm resistance is felt
to further thread engagement. Center jack saddle under lift point.
3. Insert handle into handle sleeve and pump until saddle contacts lift point. Verify
proper lift point, then pump handle until load reaches desired height.
4. Transfer load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
WARNING: Never work on, under, or around a load supported only by a hydraulic
jack.
NOTICE: ONLY use handle provided with this jack. Handle is specially designed to
be compatible with handle sleeve and properly engage release valve. If handle is
damaged, operates abnormally, or will not positively engage release valve, STOP,
discontinue use of jack until a factory replacement handle assembly can be acquired.
Lowering
1. Raise load high enough to clear jack stands; then carefully remove them.
2. Slowly turn handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If load fails to
lower:
a. Use another jack to raise vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove malfunctioning jack, then repeat Lowering procedure from Step 1.
c. Using functioning jack, lower vehicle.
3. After removing jack from under vehicle, push saddle down to reduce ram exposure to
rust and contamination.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil. NEVER use brake uid, turbine oil,
transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid can cause jack failure and sudden
loss of load. Mobil DTE13M or equivalent is recommended.
Adding Oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove oil
ller plug.
2. Proper oil level will vary from just covering inner cylinder to ~3/16” above inner
cylinder as seen from oil ller plug hole. If oil level is too low, jack will not raise to
advertised maximum height. Reinstall oil ller plug.
NOTICE: Do not overll reservoir. Overlled reservoir can cause a variety of
performance problems and create an oil spill on shop oor (see Troubleshooting, page
6).
Changing Oil
For best performance and longest life, completely replace uid supply at least once per
year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil ller plug.
2. Lay jack on its side and drain uid into a suitable container.
NOTICE: Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with local environmental regulations.
3. Fill with oil. Proper oil level will vary from just covering inner cylinder to ~3/16” above
inner cylinder as seen from oil ller plug hole. Reinstall oil ller plug.
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 pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed
and wipe with an oily cloth.
NOTICE: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on ram or pump piston.
Storage
Store the jack with pump piston, ram plunger, and saddle fully lowered and release
valve open, but never more than 1/2 turn. This will help prevent rust and corrosion to
critical surfaces.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Possible Causes Corrective Action
Jack will not lift load
• Release valve not
tightly closed.
• Load is too heavy.
•
Ensure release valve tightly
closed. Use the provided handle
to engage release valve. Turn
release valve clockwise until rm
resistance is felt.
• Use higher capacity jack.
Jack slowly and
unintentionally lowers
after lifting
•
Hydraulic unit
malfunction.
• Discontinue use, contact
Customer Support.
While lowering, uid
leaks from reservoir
area or jack saddle will
not descend to lowest
advertised height
• Reservoir overlled.
• Ram plunger/cylinder
deformed, seized up
in ram cylinder and/
or top nut, likely the
result of o󰀨-center
loading.
• Drain uid to proper level.
• Contact Customer Support.
Jack saddle will not
remain lowered after
released from contact
with load (creeps up)
• Air trapped in
system.
• If jack saddle is not in contact
with lifted load, remove jack and
follow instructions on page 4
for bleeding air from system. If
there is loaded contact between
saddle and raised vehicle,
STOP, use another jack to raise
vehicle high enough to re-install
jack stands. Remove a󰀨ected
jack, then jack stands. Using
a functioning jack, lower load,
then follow instructions on page
4 for bleeding air from system.
Poor lift performance
• Fluid level low.
• Air trapped in
system.
•
Hydraulic unit
malfunction.
• Ensure proper uid level.
• With saddle fully lowered, follow
instructions for bleeding air on
page 4.
• Contact Customer Support.
Will not lift to full height • Fluid level low. • Ensure proper uid level.
