BEFORE USE

1. Verify that the product and the application are compatible, if in doubt call Blackhawk tech. service (816) 891-

6390.

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

3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation; position the hydraulic unit upright as shown in Fig. 1, engage the release valve with the slotted portion of the provided handle, then turn the release valve:

a. Clockwise until ﬁrm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to

raise the load.

b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1 turn from the closed position. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve position

used to lower the load.

4. With saddle fully lowered, remove the oil ﬁller plug. Insert the handle into the handle sleeve; then pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Check oil level. Proper oil level is level with the oil ﬁller plug hole. Adjust as needed, reinstall the oil ﬁller plug.

5. Place the hydraulic unit to the wheel dolly as shown in Fig. 1. Position the hydraulic unit such that the saddle mates with the provided indentation.

6. Check to ensure that wheel dolly rolls freely, that the pump and release valve operate smoothly. Raise and lower the unloaded wheel dolly throughout the lifting range before putting into service. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with

Factory Authorized Replacement Parts only.
