BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RAISE ANY VEHICLE,

CHECK VEHICLE SERVICE MANUAL FOR

RECOMMENDED LIFTING POINTS.

OPERATION:

1. To Raise Load: Close release valve tightly by

twisting Handle clockwise. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Position jack under load so that saddle will contact load rmly and load is centered so it cannot slip. Operate jack handle until saddle approaches the load. Once again, check to see that saddle is correctly positioned. Raise load to desired height. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity under the vehicle.

DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE

LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING

OR REMOVING JACK STANDS!

Once jack stands are removed, open release valve very slowly to lower the vehicle (twist the Handle counter clockwise). Lower jack completely so that the vehicle is securely resting on the ground and that jack no longer makes contact with vehicle.

Keep hands or feet away from the hinge mechanism

of the jack.

MAINTENANCE

When adding or replacing hydraulic uid, always use a quality hydraulic uid. DO NOT use brake uid, alcohol, detergent motor oil, dirty oil or any uid other than quality hydraulic uid. Improper uids can cause internal

damage to the jack and improper or unsafe operation.

1. Place jack stands at vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lift areas that provide stable support for the raised Vehicle. Once jack stands are positioned, open the release valve VERY SLOWLY (by twisting the Handle counter clockwise.)

Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Then, make sure that the release valve on the jack is closed tightly (twist the Handle clockwise).

2. To lower load: Re-check to make sure release valve is tightly closed (twist the Handle clockwise). Then, operate the jack handle until the load is raised enough to remove the jack stands.

ADDING HYDRAULIC FLUID

With the saddle fully lowered and the jack on level

ground, remove the ller screw. Hydraulic uid should be lled to the level of the ller screw hole. If the level is below this hole, add hydraulic uid as needed.

LUBRICATION

All moving joints require lubrication often. Lightly grease saddle post and saddle bottom. Remove handle and grease the lower end of handle where it rotates in the handle socket. Oil all lift arm linkages, front wheels and rear casters.
