PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Omega MagicLift™ Low Prole Garage Jack is designed to lift, but not support, one end of a vehicle. The jack must
be used in conjunction with a pair of appropriately rated jack stands. MagicLift™ Service Jack has a unique feature,
which provides fast, no load lifts to the jacking point, at which time it lifts in approximately 0.75~2" increments.

NEVER use a hydraulic jack as a stand-alone device. After lifting, immediately support the lifted vehicle

with a pair of appropriately rated jack stands.

MAINTENANCE

Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of uid and Never use brake uid,

turbine oil, transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid can cause failure of the jack and the potential for
sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent.

Adding oil

1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove vent screw.

2. Fill with oil until ~3/16” above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil ller hole. If the oil level is too low, the jack
will not raise to its advertised maximum height. Reinstall the vent screw.

Changing oil

For best performance, replace the complete uid supply at least once per year.

1. With saddle fully lowered, remove the vent screw and drain the uid into a suitable container.

2. Fill with oil until ~3/16” above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall vent screw.

Note: Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with local regulations.

Lubrication

A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.

Cleaning

Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust/corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with oily cloth.

Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!

Paint contains lead!

!

DO NOT sand or grind painted surface!

Storage

When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered. This will help prevent rust and corrosion to those critical

surfaces.
