Use the right tool for the job. DO NOT attempt to force small equipment to do the work of larger
industrial equipment. There are certain applications for which this equipment was designed. This
product will be safer and do a better job at the capacity for which it was intended. DO NOT use
this equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended.
Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
⚠WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas
may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
Do not use the product where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence

Page 5 of 14
Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow
children to handle the product.
Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your
work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury
and/or property damage if contacted.
⚠WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use
the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety
goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in
dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems,
and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
⚠CAUTION

Do not force the jack set. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for
which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the
product with a damaged part.
Store the jack set when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than
the tool itself.
Specific Operation Warnings
⚠WARNING
Study, understand, and follow all instructions before operating the jack set.
Do not exceed the rated load capacity.

Page 6 of 14
Use only on a hard, level surface.
Before moving, lower the load to the lowest possible point.
Apply load as close to the vertical portion of the lifting member as possible.
Before moving the load, assure that the load is centered and secured with a load restraint device.
No alterations should be made to this jack set.
Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Operating Instructions
⚠WARNING
Do not exceed the rated load capacity.
Use only on a hard, level surface.
Do not start the vehicle’s engine, or drive with jacks in use. Jacks are designed for hand
maneuvering of vehicles only.
Do not use the jacks to lift tires wider than 12 inches.
Do not attempt to push the jacks over obstacles. They are designed to be used on level and
smooth surface only.
After lifting, be sure to always lock the pin in place before operating. Pull the pin our after finishing
work and then release the valve.
1. Place jack on floor and press the pedal down to release the pedal lock.

Page 7 of 14
2. Pull the lock pin out from the frame.
3. Before operation, open the release valve by turning the hand-wheel counter-clockwise. Expand
the jack with the hand-wheel to place the rollers around the tire; position the jack so both rollers
are in contact with the tire tread. To obtain the best control of the jack while expanding the rollers
around the tire, place your left hand on top of the left side axle and place your right hand at the
center of the pedal. Close the release valve by turning the hand-wheel clockwise to a snug and
tight position. The jack may now be used.

4. Install the jack so that the unit is parallel to the sidewall of the tire to be lifted. Leave
approximately 3/4" of clearance between tire and jack.
This is very important: If the unit is misaligned, the tire may hit the axle of the jack and not the
rollers. This may damage the jack and void the warranty.
5. To lift the tire, flip the directional lever up, then place a foot on the pedal, depressing the pedal
with smooth, even strokes. Cycle the pedal until the tire is lifted from the surface one inch or less.
After lifting, the lower the tire is to the ground the more stable the jack will be. After lifting, be sure
to always lock the pin in place before operation. If using more than one jack, repeat the process
on the other tires and maneuver the vehicles as required.
6. To release the jack, pull the pin out from the frame and open the valve by slowly turning the hand-
wheel counter-clockwise. The jack may be removed when the rollers disengage from the tire.
