Features and Benefits
The Daytona [DJ3000] 3 Ton Professional
Super Duty Jack was engineered for
automotive professionals. The Model [DJ3000]
features Advanced Rapid Pump® technology
for fast lift times and exceptionally long life.
Long-Life Advanced
Rapid Pump® Hydraulics
The hydraulic power unit is designed to provide
over 5000 lift cycles with minimal wear.
An Integrated Magnetic Filtration (IMF)
System prevents contaminants
from damaging pump pistons and
other high pressure components.
Precision-engineered high performance seals
along with a sealed non-vented reservoir
ensure longer fluid life with no leaks.
Rapid Pump technology delivers twice the lift
force with each stroke to lift heavy loads in half
the time of conventional hydraulic systems.
The pistons are continuously force-loaded to
keep the pump handle in ready position during
use. Load limiters with a bypass valve protect
the pump if an overweight load is attempted.
Effortless Operation
Get easy leverage and positioning with the
extra long foam-protected lift handle. All moving
components are factory lubed for smooth action
with easily serviceable grease fittings in the
lift mechanism. A locking spring mechanism
keeps the handle in place during use.
The Rapid Pump® system gives you
easy-twist universal joint hydraulic release
for precise, controlled lowering.

Operation
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Lifting
Park vehicle on a flat, level, solid, surface safely away from oncoming traffic. Turn off the vehicle’s engine.
Place the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK” (if automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual).
Set the vehicle’s emergency brake. Then, chock the wheels that are not being lifted.
1. Turn the Handle counterclockwise to lower the Jack.
Once the Jack is fully lowered, turn the
Handle firmly clockwise to close it.
2. Carefully position the Saddle of the Jack under the
vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.
(See vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual
for location of frame lifting point.)
3. Pump the Handle until the top of the Jack’s Saddle
has nearly reached the vehicle lifting point. Position
the Saddle directly under the vehicle’s lifting point.
4. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle of
the Jack. Use smooth, full strokes.
5. Once the vehicle is raised, slide a jack stand of
appropriate capacity (not included) under a proper
lifting point referred to in the vehicle owner’s
manual. Always use two jack stands, position them
at the same point on each side of the vehicle.
WARNING! The rated capacity of jack stands is per
pair, not the individual capacities combined unless
specifically noted on the product by the jack stand
manufacturer. Do not exceed rated jack stand capacity.
Ensure that the vehicle support points are fully seated
in the saddle of both jack stands. Use a matched pair
of jack stands per vehicle to support one end only.
Failure to do so may result in the load suddenly falling,
which may cause personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Center the vehicle’s lifting point(s) on the saddle of
the jack stand(s). Set the jack stand(s) to the same
height according to the manufacturer’s instructions,
making sure that they lock securely into position.
7. Slowly turn the Handle counterclockwise to lower
the vehicle onto the saddle(s) of the jack stand(s).
Then, turn the Handle firmly clockwise to close it.
Lowering
1. Carefully remove all tools, parts, etc.
from under the vehicle.
2. Position the Saddle under the lifting point.
Turn the Handle firmly clockwise and raise
load high enough to clear the jack stands,
then carefully remove jack stands.
3. Slowly turn the Handle counterclockwise
(never more than 1/2 full turn) to lower
the vehicle onto the ground.
4. Lower the Jack completely. Then, store in a
safe, dry location out of reach of children.
5. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
