FEATURES
The Snap-on®FJ200 2 Ton Capacity Service
Jackwasdesignedspecicallyfortheprofession-
al technician. The Model FJ200 is assembled in
the USA and includes Patents and Patent Pend-
ing features that provide exceptional performance
and reliability.
CHASSIS
The exclusive Snap-on jack chassis is made of
steel plate with re-enforcing upper and lower
anges for added strength. Low lift height and
extendedlowproleframeprovideaccessunder
low ground clearance vehicles. High lift height for
positioning vehicles on frame straightening racks
or alignment systems. Large patented saddle
for load positioning, locks into saddle base and
is easily removed for installation of other saddle
adapters.
HYDRAULIC POWER UNIT
Thetwopumppistonpowerunitraisesthejack’s
saddle to the load quickly to save work time. Spring
loaded pump pistons are in constant contact with
the handle yoke to prevent handle from falling. An
integratedltrationsystemprohibitscontaminants
from entering hydraulic valves and high pressure
components. Self-contained non-vented reservoir
preventsuidleaks.Highperformancesealsand
hydraulic uid provide longer life. Load-limiting
and bypass valves prevent use beyond working
capacity and prevent over-extension of the ram.
MANEUVERABILITY
Wide track front wheels with crowned rolling
surface and grease ttings provide smooth
rotation. Wheels secured to axles by way of
locknuts. Two rear swivel caster assemblies are
constructed with dual bearings and lubricated
axles for minimal axial and radial play.
SMOOTH OPERATION
Fully factory lubed with grease ttings in the lift
armandtwottingsinthehandleyoketoaccess
pivot pins. Handle yoke includes quick-lock spring
knob for easy handle insertion or removal. Heavy
duty release valve assembly with built-in stop pre-
vents accidental removal and provides easy rota-
tion. Long one-piece handle for easier pumping
andpositioningofjackundervehicle.

FJ200 6 Rev. 09/09/14
START-UP GUIDE
1. The handle yoke assembly FJ200-11 is
contained in a horizontal position for shipping
purposes by way of a wire clip. In order to
remove the wire clip, push down on the yoke
with the heel of one hand while simultaneously
disconnecting the clip legs from the lower
spacer bar with the other hand. The yoke is
under spring pressure so be sure to ease hand
pressure off the yoke when the clip legs are
disconnected.
2. Insert the grooved end of the handle with foam
pad FJ200-2 in the handle yoke assembly
FJ200-11 until the groove is engaged by the
pin of the handle yoke retaining assembly
FJ200-12. Pull up on the handle to make sure
the pin has engaged the handle groove.
Slightly rotate the handle clockwise and
counterclockwise to make sure the universal
 jointassemblyFJ200-3movementcorresponds
with the handle rotation.
3. Turn the handle FJ200-2 clockwise until
tight. Proceed to activate the handle in full
incremental pump strokes in order to raise the
 jack’s saddle FJ200-6 to maximum height. It
should take four full incremental pump
strokes (give or take a half a pump) to raise
the saddle to maximum height without a
 load. If ve or more full incremental pumps
are required, there is air trapped in the power
unit assembly FJ200-5. Follow this procedure
to remove the air from the system:
a. Turn the handle counterclockwise two
full rotations from its closed position.
   Proceedtopumpthejackwithoutaload
about 10 to 15 pump strokes. This will
force the air in the system into the power
   unit’sreservoir.
b. Turn the handle in a clockwise rotation
until tight. Proceed to pump the handle
in full incremental pump strokes until
the saddle is raised to maximum height
without a load.
c. If the full incremental pump strokes still
exceed four and one half pumps, repeat
steps a and b until all air is purged from
the system.

FJ200 7 Rev. 09/09/14
OPERATION
To Raise A Load
1. The vehicle transmission should be in “park” if
automatic or in gear if a standard shift. Apply
the emergency brake.
2. Check with the vehicle’s owner’s manual or
manufacturer for the proper lifting points.
3.Usingthejack’shandleFJ200-2,maneuverthe
 jack so its saddle FJ200-6 is positioned right
 belowthevehicle’sdesignatedliftpoint.Rotate
 the jack’s handle FJ200-2 clockwise until it
stops.
4.Pumpthejackslowlytoensurethesaddlewill
 bealignedwiththevehicle’slift point.Asthe
saddle gets closer to the lift point, reposition the
 jack so the saddle will contact the lift point
 rmlyandtheloadiscenteredonthesaddle.
If the saddle and load are not properly aligned,
rotate the handle slowly in a counterclockwise
direction so the saddle is released from the
vehicle. Repeat step 4 until the saddle and
vehicle lift point are properly aligned.
  • Jack may allow vehicle to fall if
additional support is not used while
working on vehicle
Use jack and jack stands only on
a hard level surface.
Do not work on vehicle
supported only by the jack.
Use jack stands in pairs to
support the vehicle immediately
after lifting.
Falling vehicle can cause property
damage, serious injury or death.
5. After the vehicle has been lifted to its desired
 workheight,placejackstandsatthevehicle’s
 designated support points and raise the jack
 stand’s support columns as high as they will
 go without touching the vehicle’s support
 points.Makesurethestand’ssupportcolumns
 are aligned with the vehicle’s support points
and the support points will not be resting on the
 columns’locatinglugs.    
6. After the jack stands have been properly
 positioned and their columns adjusted to the
 required height, rotate the jack’s handle
slowly counterclockwise to lower the vehicle on
the stands. Inspect the relationship between
 thejackstands and vehicle support pointsto
make sure the setup is stable and safe. If the
setup is not stable and safe, follow the
preceding steps until corrected. If the setup is
 safe,continuerotatingthejack’shandleuntilits
saddle is lowered all the way down and remove
 thejackfromunderneaththevehicle. 
To Lower A Load
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 under To Raise
A Load above.
2.Slowlypumpthejackuntilthevehicleliftpoints
 are raised off and clear the jack stand’s
columns.
3.Removethejackstandsfromunderthevehicle
without crawling under the vehicle.
4.Rotate the jack’s handle slowly in a
counterclockwise direction to lower the vehicle.
 Once the jack’s saddle has cleared the
 vehicle’s lift point, remove the jack from
underneath the vehicle.
