OPERATION

, This Jack Is a Lifting Device Only •

Designed only for lifting part of the total
vehicle (ie. one wheel). Do not move or dolly
thevehicle while it ison the jack.

• Position the Jack •

Position this jack to only lift on the areas of
the vehicle specified by the vehicle

manufacturer.

• Use Support Stands •

After lifting the vehicle always support the
load with appropriately rated vehiclesupport

stands before working on the vehicle.

• Do Not Overload Jack •
Do not overload this jack beyond its rated

capacity. Overloading can cause damage
toor failure of the jack.

• Use on Hard Level Surfaces •

This jack is designed only for use on hard

level surfaces capable of sustaining the
load. Use on other than hard level surfaces

can result in jack instability and possible

loss of load.

• 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.

Read Operating Instructions •

Study, understand and follow all

ins_'uctions in this manual before operating
the jack. Failure to heed these warnings
may result in loss of load, damage to the

jack and/or jack failure resulting in _ersonal
injury or property damage.

During shipment and handling, air may get
trapped in the hydraulic system, which can
interfere with the jack's lifting performance.

Follow these steps to release air from the
hydraulic system:

• Open the release valve by turning the jack

handle counter clockwise (Fig. 1).

• Loosen oil filler plug (Fig. 1).

• Rapidly pump jack handle with several full

strokes.

Keep Hands and Feet Clear of the Jack

Operation

Raising the Jack

. Close the release valve by turning the handle

clockwise.

• Block the vehicles wheels for lifting stability.

• Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owners

manual to locate approved lifting points on the
vehicle. Position the jack so that the saddle is

centered under the load at an appropriate lift
point.

• Pump jack handle until saddle nears contact

with the vehicle. Check to see that the saddle

is centered and will contact the load lifting point

firmly.

• 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.

Lowering the Jack

• Open the release valve very slowlyby turning
the handle counter-clockwise.

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 flow
back into the reservoir. This releases hydraulic
pressure on the ram, which results in lowering

the saddle.
