1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
1.1 Inspect before each use. Do not use if broken, bent, cracked, or otherwise
damaged parts are noted. If any component of this product has been subject to a
shock load (a load dropped suddenly or unexpectedly), discontinue use until it has
been checked by a factory authorized service center.
1.2 The maximum ram capacity is 20 ton. DO NOT exceed this rated capacity.
1.3 When extension tubes are used, the rated capacity is always reduced by 50% for
each tube connected.
1.4 DO NOT use this equipment as a vehicle lifting device or as a vehicle support.
1.5 Keep children and other unauthorized persons away from work area.
1.6 Remove loose clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other jewelry, and
contain long hair.
1.7 Always wear ANSI approved safety goggles when operating the repair kit.
1.8 Keep proper balance and footing. DO NOT overreach and wear nonslip footwear.
1.9 Only use this equipment on a surface that is stable, level, dry and not slippery.
Ensure the surface can sustain the load. Keep the surface clean, tidy, and free
from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
1.10 DO NOT allow the piston rod of ram to extend so far as to exceed the maximum
ram stroke.
1.11 When coupler valves are disconnected, always use dust cap to keep the hydraulic
system clean.
1.12 DO NOT drop any heavy objects onto the hose and DO NOT twist the hose.
Always keep the hose clean to avoid damage to the hose and couplers.
1.13 Keep the equipment away from heat or fire, as this may cause damage or weaken
the seals.
1.14 DO NOT operate this equipment when you are tired or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs, or any intoxicating medication.
1.15 DO NOT allow any untrained persons to operate the equipment and DO NOT
make any modifications to it.
1.16 DO NOT expose the equipment to rain or any other kind of bad weather.
1.17 Use a qualified person to maintain the equipment in good condition. Keep it clean
for best and safest performance.
1.18 If the equipment needs repairing and/or there are any parts that need to be
replaced, have it repaired by authorized technicians and only use the replacement
parts supplied by the manufacturer.
1.19 WARNING: The warnings, cautions, instructions discussed in the instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situation may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which
can’t be built in this product but must be supplied by the operator.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Inspect before each use for evidence of fluid leaks, damaged hydraulic
fittings, bent or broken attachments and missing parts.
3.1 Connect the hydraulic ram, hose, and pump unit together, ensure that you have
securely fastened the couplers before pumping.
3.2 Firmly close the release valve by turning it clockwise.
3.3 Adjust the ram slowly to ensure the load is centered with the ram.
NOTE: The pump can be used in any position from horizontal to vertical. Always
keep the hose end of the pump downward when it is not horizontal.
3.4 Pump the handle up and down to supply pressure. This will send fluid from the
pump reservoir into the high-pressure hose assembly and into the ram assembly.
3.5 Continue pumping until the ram reaches desired position
3.6 To release pressure, SLOWLY and CAREFULLY turn the release valve
counterclockwise (never more than one full turn) to release the pressure
until ram retracts to desired position.

2. Air trapped in system
1. Add hydraulic oil to the system
2. Purge air from system
(see 4.6 for instructions)
4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 When not in use, store the equipment in a dry location with the pump piston and
the ram fully retracted.
4.2 Periodically check the ram and pump piston for signs of rust or corrosion.
Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
Warning: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on any surfaces of the unit.
4.3 A coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent
rust and assure that pump assemblies move freely. Periodically lubricate the pivot
points, axles and hinges with a light lubricating oil as needed.
4.4 With ram fully lowered, set pump unit in its normal, level position. Remove the oil
filler screw to check the hydraulic oil level. If it is not adequate, add high quality
hydraulic jack oil, as necessary.
Warning: DO NOT use brake fluid or any other improper fluid and avoid mixing
different types of oil when adding hydraulic oil.
4.5 To ensure best performance and longer equipment life, replace the complete
hydraulic oil at least once a year. With ram fully lowered, remove the oil filler screw.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.
4.6 When equipment efficiency drops, purge away air from hydraulic system: Turn the
release valve counterclockwise by 1-1/2 turns, with ram fully retracted and release
valve open, pump the handle rapidly for 10-20 times.
4.7 It is recommended that an annual inspection be done by qualified technicians.
