GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Position the Jack
Position the jack to only lift on the areas of the vehicle as specied by the vehicle manufacturer.
Always Use Jack Stands
After lifting the vehicle always support the load with appropriately rated vehicle Jacks stands before working
on the vehicle.
Do Not Overload Jack
Do not overload this jack beyond its rated capacity. Overloading this jack beyond its rated capacity can cause
damage to or failure of the jack.
Always Use on Hard Level Surfaces
This jack is designed only for use on hard level surfaces capable of sustaining the load. Use on unstable or
other possible loss of load.
Chock and Block (Stabilize)
Apply parking brake in vehicle before operating jack.
A chock is a wedge for steadying an object and holding it motionless, or for preventing the movement of a
wheel Chock the wheel opposite the end being lifted.
When you block a load, you secure and support a load that is being lifted. The block(s) or stabilizer(s) should
have a weight capacity that is greater than the weight of the load which is being lifted.
Center Load on Jack Saddle
Center load on jack saddle before lifting vehicle.
Off-center loads and loads lifted when the jack is not level can cause loss of load or damage to the jack.
Do not raise or lower the vehicle unless tools, materials and people are clear.
When the lift is being lowered, make sure everyone is standing at least six feet away. Be sure there are no
tools or equipment left under or around the jack before lowering.
Always lower the jack slowly.
DO NOT USE THE JACK TO SUPPORT OR STABILIZE A LOAD.
Using the jack to support or stabilize a load may result in unexpected movement and result in serious injury,
being crushed and death. Always securely chock and block (stabilize) the load to be lifted. Never place any
part of the body under a raised load without properly chocking and supporting the load.
Never use the jack on curved or tubular vehicle
Bumpers, this will result in the vehicle slipping off the jack and falling, causing serious injury or death. Use a
bumper lift to lift most vehicles with curved bumpers or plastic bumpers.
Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses and heavy-duty work gloves during use.

OPERATION
RAISING THE JACK
CAUTION: NEVER WIRE, CLAMP OR
OTHERWISE DISABLE THE LIFT CONTROL
VALVE TO FUCTION BY ANY MEANS
OTHER THAN BY USING THE OPERATOR'S
HAND. USE THE HANDLE PROVIDED WITH
THIS PRODUCT OR AN AUTHORIZED
REPLACEMENT HANDLE TO ENSURE
PROPER RELEASE VALVE OPERATION. DO
NOT USE EXTENSIONS ON THE OPERATING
HANDLE.
1. Block the vehicle’s wheels for lifting stability.
Secure the load to prevent inadvertent shifting
and movement
2. Position the jack near desired lift point.
3. Set the Parking Brake in the vehicle.
4. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual
to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle.
Position the jack so that the saddle is centered
and will contact the load lifting point rmly.
5. Assemble the handle; ensure to align with slots.
6. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise
until it is rmly closed.
7. Before raising the vehicle double check and verify
the saddle is centered and also has full contact
with the lifting point.
8. Pump handle to lift until saddle contacts load.
Continue to pump the jack handle to lift the
vehicle to the desired height. After lifting, support
the load with appropriately rated vehicle support
stands before working on the vehicle.

9
LOWERING THE JACK
1. Raise load high enough to allow clearance for the jack stands to be removed, then carefully remove jack
stands.
2. Remove support stands.
3. Grasp the handle rmly with both hands. Securely hold on to the jack handle so your hands do not slip and
ensure the release valve does not rapidly lower.
4. Carefully open the Release Valve by slowly turning the handle counter-clockwise. (Do not allow bystanders
around the jack or under the load when lowering the jack.
WARNING: WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LOWERING THE JACK. THE JACK HANDLE
MAY TURN RAPIDLY. OPENING THE RELEASE VALVE TOO FAST CAN CAUSE THE JACK TO
LOWER RAPIDLY. FAILURE TO HEAD THESE WARNINGS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
5. After removing jack from under the load, keep jack in the lowered position to reduce exposure to rust and
contamination.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
If you use and maintain your equipment properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the
maintenance instructions carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never perform any
maintenance on the equipment while it is under a load.
Inspection
You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all components
function before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product performance.
Binding
If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to lower the load
safely to the ground. After un-binding; clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working properly. Rusty
components, dirt, or worn parts can be causes of binding Clean and lubricate the equipment as indicated in
the lubrication section. Test the equipment by lifting without a load. If the binding continues contact Customer
Service.
Cleaning
If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to clean
the equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant.
Lubrication
This equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the equipment without proper
lubrication will result in poor performance and damage to the equipment. Some parts in this equipment are not
self-lubricating inspect the equipment before use and lubricate when necessary. After cleaning, lubricate the
equipment using light penetrating oil, lubricating spray.
• Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
• For light duty use lubrication once a month.
• For heavy and constant use lubrication recommended every week.
• NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!
Rust Prevention:
Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load lift the equipment as high as it goes and look under and behind the lifting points. If signs of rust
are visible clean as needed.
Grease Fittings
Some models contain grease ttings the will regularly need to be greased and lubricated.
This jack includes (5) Zerk ttings in total. (1) Each front wheel; (1) On the lift arm; (2) On the rear handle
socket.
How the Jack Operates
With release valve closed, an upward stroke of the jack handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into the
plunger cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the plunger cavity. A
downward stroke of the jack handle releases oil into the cylinder, which forces the ram out. This raises the
saddle. When the ram reaches maximum extension, oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to prevent an over
extended ram stroke and possible damage to the jack. Opening the release valve allows oil to ow back into
reservoir. This releases hydraulic pressure on the ram, which results in lowering the saddle.
Storing the Jack
1. Lower the Lifting Arm.
2. Place the handle in the upright position.
3. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.
Note: If the jack is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to ensure the jack stays
in good working condition. Always store jack in the fully retracted postion when stored in outdoor or caustic
enviroments that can cause corrosion and/or rust.
