SYSTEM AIR PURGE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: BEFORE FIRST USE
Perform the following System Air Purge Procedure to
remove any air that may have been introduced into
the hydraulic system as a result of product shipment
and handling. This step is to be completed without
any weight on the jack.
1. Turn release valve counterclockwise on full turn to
the open position.
2. Rapidly pump the handle 6-8 times. Leave handle
in down position to expose oil ll plug.
3. With a flat blade screwdriver, push the oil fill
plug slightly to the side to purge trapped air from
system. (Use caution not to tear or puncture the
oil plug.)
4. Turn release valve clockwise to the closed
position.
5. Jack is now ready for use. Check for proper pump
action.
RAISING THE JACK
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 that spring clips
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 or squeeze air trigger to lift until
saddle contacts load. (To stop air operation,
simply release the grip on the lift control valve.)
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.
OPERATION
CAUTION: NEVER WIRE, CLAMP OR
OTHERWISE DISABLE THE LIFT CONTROL
VALVE TO FUNCTION 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 AIR HOSE
OR ON THE OPERATING HANDLE.

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 counterclockwise. (Do not allow bystanders
around the jack or under the load when lowering the jack.
5. After removing jack from under the load, push ram and handle sleeve down to reduce exposure to rust and
contamination.
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.

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 unbinding; 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 that will regularly need to be greased and lubricated.
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 ram.
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.

lower rim of the oil ll hole.
4. Replace oil plug.
5. Perform the System Air Purge Procedure.
1. Position the jack on level ground and lower the
saddle.
2. Open release valve by turning handle counter-
clockwise (4 full turns).
3. Remove the oil ll plug.
4. Turn the jack on its side so that old oil will drain
