THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only
by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and
operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper
use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading,
off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.

PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
IMPORTANT: In most cases the jack should work normally right out of the box but it is not unusual for air to get trapped in the jack’s hydraulic
system during shipping and handling. There are several symptoms of an air trapped hydraulic system which include only partial incremental
pump stroke, jack will not lift load, jack will not sustain load or pumping feels spongy under load. The following procedure will purge air from
the hydraulic system and only needs to be done if experiencing the above mentioned conditions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
OPERATION:
1. To raise load: Turn the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Position the jack under the load. Proceed to pump the handle in order
to raise the lift arm to the load. As the saddle at the end of the lift arm gets closer to the load, reposition the jack so the saddle will
contact the load firmly and the load is centered on the saddle. Make sure the saddle is correctly positioned. Raise the load to the desired
work height. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity at the vehicle manufacturers's recommended support areas that provide stable
support for the raised vehicle. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE
JACK STANDS! Once jack stands are positioned, turn the handle VERY SLOWLY. Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Inspect the
relationship between the jack stands and load to make sure the setup is stable and safe. If the setup is not stable or safe, follow the
preceding steps until corrected.
2. To lower load: Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise load" section of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in order to raise the load
off the jack stands. Once the load has cleared the jack stands, remove the jack stands from under the load and away from the work area.
Turn handle very slowly in a counterclockwise direction until the load is completely lowered to the ground. Once the jack's lifting saddle
  hasclearedtheload,removethejackfromundertheload.CAUTION:Keephandsandfeetawayfromthehingemechanismofthejack.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any
other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to
all zerk grease fittings, caster wheels, front axle, elevator arm, handle base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other bearing surfaces.
Worn parts resulting from inadequate or no lubrication are not eligible for warranty consideration. See page 6 for lubrication instructions.
3. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires
immediate repair which must be performed in a dirt-free environment by an authorized service center.
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid or transmission oil in the jack.
Use Chevron Hydraulic Oil AW ISO 32 or its equivalent Unocal Unax AW 150.
4. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the
jack but not any moving hydraulic components.
5. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage or leaks
hydraulic fluid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective
action before using the jack again.
6. Any hydraulic repairs within the warranty period must be performed by an authorized service center.
INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose or missing parts.
Each jack must be inspected by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately if subjected to an abnormal load or shock. Any jack which
appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary
repairs are made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility. It is recommended that an annual inspection of the jack be made by a
manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that any defective parts, decals or warning labels be replaced with manufacturer’s specified
parts. A list of authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.
PROPER STORAGE
It is recommended that the jack be stored in a dry location with all wheels touching the ground on a relatively level surface.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Important: Service jacks are self-contained devices used for lifting, but not sustaining, a partial vehicular load. In accordance with ASME-
PALDLoadSustainingTest:“Aloadnotlessthantheratedcapacity…shallnotlowermorethan1/8"(3.18mm)intherstminute,noratotal

Personnel involved in the use and operation of equipment shall be careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the
equipment and its proper use when servicing motor vehicles and their components. Warning information should be emphasized and
understood. If the operator is not fluent in English, the manufacturer’s instructions and warning shall be read to and discussed with the
operator in the operator’s native language by the purchaser/owner, making sure that the operator comprehends its contents. Owner and/or
user must study and maintain for future reference the manufacturers’ instructions. Owner and/or user is responsible for keeping all warning
labels and instruction manuals legible and intact. Replacement labels and literature are available from the manufacturer.
PROBLEM ACTION
1. Unit will not lift rated load. Purge air from hydraulic system by following procedure under SETUP.
