PREPARATION

Before Use

1.

Verify that product and application are compatible. If you have questions about the use

of this jack or its compatibility with your vehicle, contact Pro-Lift Customer Support at

[phone].

2. Before using this product, read the owner’s manual completely and familiarize
yourself thoroughly with the product, its components and recognize the hazards
associated with its use.

3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, use stamped end of the provided
handle to engage and turn release valve:

a.

Clockwise until rm resistance is felt

‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to raise the load.
b.

Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn from the closed position.

This is the

4. With saddle fully lowered, locate and remove cover plate, then remove oil ller

plug. Insert handle into handle sleeve, then pump 6 to 8 full strokes. Check oil
level. Proper oil level will vary from just covering ram cylinder to 3/16” above it as

seen from oil ller plug hole. Reinstall oil ller plug.

5. Ensure that jack rolls freely and that pump operates smoothly before putting into
service. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with factory Authorized

PREPARATION (cont.)

Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air

With release valve in OPEN position (3b above) and with saddle fully lowered, locate

and remove oil ller plug. Insert provided handle into handle sleeve; then pump 6 to

8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within
reservoir. Proper oil level will vary from just covering ram cylinder to 3/16” above it

as seen from oil ller plug hole. Reinstall oil ller plug.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: DO NOT use this device to lift, level, lower, support, adjust or

!

otherwise move a house, mobile home, travel trailer, camper, or building structure
of any type, size, or conguration.

NOTICE: Use ONLY on vehicles whose lift points are compatible with the saddle of
this jack. Incompatibility may result in structural damage to vehicle and/or jack.

Lifting

1. Place vehicle in park, with emergency brake on and wheels securely chocked to
prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.

2.

Locate and close release valve by turning handle clockwise until rm resistance is

felt to further thread engagement. Center jack saddle under lift point.

3. Insert handle into handle sleeve and pump until saddle contacts lift point. Verify
proper lift point, then pump handle until load reaches desired height.

4. Transfer load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.

WARNING: Never work on, under, or around a load supported only by a

!

hydraulic jack.

NOTICE: ONLY use handle provided with this jack. Handle
to be compatible with handle sleeve and properly engage release valve. If handle
is damaged, operates abnormally, or will not positively engage release valve,
STOP, discontinue use of jack until a factory replacement handle assembly can be
acquired.

Lowering

1. Raise load high enough to clear jack stands; then carefully remove them.

2. Slowly turn handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If load fails to

lower:

a. Use another jack to raise vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.

b. Remove malfunctioning jack, then repeat Lowering procedure from Step 1.

c. Using functioning jack, lower vehicle.

3.

After removing jack from under vehicle, push saddle down to reduce ram exposure

to rust and contamination.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil. NEVER use brake uid, turbine

oil, transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid can cause jack failure and
sudden loss of load. Mobil DTE13M or equivalent is recommended.

Adding Oil

1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove
oil ller plug.

2. Proper oil level will vary from just covering inner cylinder to ~3/16” above inner

cylinder as seen from oil ller plug hole. If oil level is too low, jack will not raise to
advertised maximum height. Reinstall oil ller plug.

NOTICE: Do not overll reservoir. Overlled reservoir can cause a variety of
performance problems and create an oil spill on shop oor (see Troubleshooting,

page 6).

Changing Oil

For best performance and longest life, completely replace uid supply at least once

per year.

1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil ller plug.

2. Lay jack on its side and drain uid into a suitable container.

NOTICE: Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with local environmental

regulations.

3. Fill with oil. Proper oil level will vary from just covering inner cylinder to ~3/16”

above inner cylinder as seen from oil ller plug hole. Reinstall oil ller plug.

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 pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as
needed and wipe with an oily cloth.

NOTICE: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on ram or pump piston.

Storage

Store the jack with pump piston, ram plunger, and saddle fully lowered and release
valve open, but never more than 1/2 turn. This will help prevent rust and corrosion to
critical surfaces.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom

Jack will not lift load

Jack slowly and
unintentionally lowers
after lifting

While lowering, uid

leaks from reservoir
area or jack saddle will
not descend to lowest
advertised height

Jack saddle will not
remain lowered after
released from contact
with load (creeps up)

Poor lift performance

Will not lift to full height • Fluid level low. • Ensure proper uid level.

Possible Causes Corrective Action

• Release valve not

tightly closed.

• Load is too heavy.

Hydraulic unit

•

malfunction.

• Reservoir overlled.

• Ram plunger/cylinder

deformed, seized up
in ram cylinder and/
or top nut, likely the
result of off-center
loading.

• Air trapped in

system.

• Fluid level low.

• Air trapped in

system.

Hydraulic unit

•

malfunction.

•

Ensure release valve tightly
closed. Use the provided handle
to engage release valve. Turn
release valve clockwise until

rm resistance is felt.

• Use

higher capacity jack.

• Discontinue use, contact

Customer Support.

• Drain uid to proper level.

• Contact Customer Support.

• If jack saddle is not in contact

with lifted load, remove jack

and follow instructions on

page 4 for bleeding air from

system. If there is loaded

contact between saddle and

raised vehicle, STOP, use

another jack to raise vehicle

high enough to re-install jack

stands. Remove affected

jack, then jack stands. Using

a functioning jack, lower load,

then follow instructions on

page 4 for bleeding air from

system.

• Ensure proper uid level.

• With saddle fully lowered,

follow instructions for

bleeding air on page 4.
