1. Turn handle knob (#3-8) clockwise until resistance is felt to close release valve.
Do not over-tighten.
2. Place jack directly under object to be lifted. Make sure saddle takes up weight
rmly and centrally. Check positioning under slight load to conrm jack or load will
not slip.
3. Raise jack by pumping handle until desired height is reached. After lifting, secure
load by appropriate means. Do not use jack as the only means of support.
To Lower a vehicle:
1. Slowly turn handle knob (#3-8) counter-clockwise. Speed of descent is controlled
by amount release valve is turned.
