PREPARATION

Assembly (refer to Figure 1)

Tools required: M16 & M18 wrench.

1. Four major parts should be included in the package:
(a) Hydraulic unit; (b) Upright Post; (c) Saddle Assembly; (d) 2 pieces of base half with hardware.

2. Attach the base halves to the upright post, then secure using threaded pins, washers and M12 nuts.

3. Attach the casters onto the base halves using M12 nuts and washers.

4. Place hydraulic unit on top of the upright post and secure with M10x25 bolts and washers.

5. Attach saddle assembly above the ram of hydraulic unit and secure using pin and spring pin provided.

6. Attach all four bracket supports onto saddle plate with bolts and wing nuts.

7. Attach saddle brackets to bracket support with provided nuts.

8. Finally, attach chains with bolts, washers, and nuts to saddle bracket.

Before Use

1.

Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Blackhawk Tech. Service [phone].

2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.

3. With ram plunger fully retracted, remove the oil filler plug. Insert the handle into the handle sleeve, then pump 6
to 8 strokes. This will help release any pressurized air, which may be trapped within the reservoir. Ensure the oil
level is just below the oil filler hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.

4. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, turn the release valve lever:

a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to
raise the ram/saddle.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 2 turns from the closed position. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve
position used to lower the ram/saddle.

5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded jack throughout the lifting range before putting into
service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Blackhawk
authorized replacement parts only.
