Reverse front tires of ZTR mower (optional – if not applicable,
skip to next step).
In some cases, the mower deck or anti-scalping wheels will hit the lift arm
while the mower is being raised. This is often the case if part of the deck
(including the anti-scalping wheels) protrudes past the centre line of the
front wheels of the mower. If this happens:
• Rotate the front tires 180° so that they are in the reverse position.
Slide the lift as close to the wheels as possible.

Safety and Maintenance
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before
using the tractor lift. Never allow anyone unfamiliar with the safety or
operating instructions to use the lift.
2. Follow all safety and servicing instructions provided by the lawn
mower’s manufacturer before using the lift.
3. Do not modify the lift in any way. Any modifications will void any and
all warranties and could compromise your personal safety.
4. When using the lift, keep ALL bystanders at a safe distance away
from the mower lift. The lift must be used on a solid, level surface.
5. Only lift the FRONT end of the mower.
6. Do not lift the front end and back end of the mower at the same time.
7. Do not exceed the lifting capacity of 550 lb (249 kg) front end weight.
If you have a question regarding weight of your machine, please
contact Customer Service at 1.866.523.5218.
8. Only use the lift for mowers that properly fits in the provided wheel
pads [ ie. 10 to 17" (25 to 43 cm) diameter and within the inside to
outside wheel measurements of 18 1/2 to 47 1/2” (47 to 121 cm)].
9. Both left and right wheel pads must be equal distance from the T-bar
to maintain proper balance. Always stop engine and remove key
before beginning any work on the mower.
10. Always place wheel chocks (not included) behind the back tires of the
mower before beginning maintenance. For additional safety, you may
apply the parking brake after the wheel chocks are in place.
11. Never operate the engine while using the mower lift. Do not remove
safety warnings or decals from lift.
12. Please make sure that the space below the mower is big enough to
work safely under the mower. Please make sure that the mower is
stable enough for work.
13. Failure to follow these warnings may result in property damage and
serious bodily injury or death.

!
IMPORTANT: The mower lift is intended for use with mowers
only. Do not exceed 550 lb (249 kg) front end weight. It should
never be used to service other types of machinery.
MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different
types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid,
motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack
and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.
HOW TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER
• To remove the cylinder, remove the bolts
holding the cylinder in place.
• Remove old cylinder and install new cyclinder
Using the same hardware.
ADDING OIL TO HYDRUALIC CYLINDER
• With saddle fully lowered and pump piston
fully depressed, set jack in its upright, level
position. Remove oil filler plug.
• Fill until oil is level with the filler plug hole,
reinstall oil filler plug.
CHANGING OIL IN HYDRUALIC CYLINDER
For best performance and longest life, replace
the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
• With saddle fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, remove the oil
filler plug.
• Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
Safety and Maintenance

18
NOTE: Dispose of hydraulic fiuid in accordance with local regulations.
• Fill with good quality jack oil. Reinstall oil filler plug. We recommend
Mobil DTE 13 or equivalent.
LUBRICATION
• A coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help
to prevent rust and assure that wheels, castors and pump assemblies
move freely.
• Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion.
Clean as needed and wipe with a clean, oil-soaked rag.
NOTE: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces.
STORAGE
When not in use, store the bottle jack with pump piston and ram fully
retracted.
