SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tool operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the safety precautions given in this manual and
on the stickers and tags attached to the tool and hose.
These safety precautions are given for your safety. Review them carefully before operating the tool and before performing general maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel should develop additional precautions relating to the specic work area and local safety regu-
lations. If so, place the added precautions in the space provided.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• The user must be familiar with correct operation, maintenance, and use of the jack. Lack of knowledge can lead
to personal injury.
• Operator must start in a work area without bystanders. The operator must be familiar with all prohibited work
areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions..
• Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, gloves, head, and safety shoes at all times when operating the
tool.
• Warning: Hydraulic uid under pressure could cause skin injection injury. If you are injured by hydraulic uid,
get medical attention immediately.
• The total load lifted or supported by the jack must never exceed the rated capacity. Excess pressure can result in
personal injury. Use a jack with sufcient capacity to lift a load. Keep clear of lifted loads.
• Inspect each jack before each usage or shift to prevent unsafe conditions from developing.
• Properly support the jack.
• Do not put poorly balanced or off-center loads on the jack pad or jack. The load can tip and cause personal injury. Do not use in unstable or hazardous positions.
• The jack must be used on at surfaces to be able to carry the load correctly. The base must be completely supported. Do not push or lift on the ends of the base.
• Do not lift people, or loads with people on them.
• As the load is lifted, use blocks or cribs to guard against a falling load.
• To help prevent personal injury, do not allow personnel to go under, or work on, a load before it is properly
cribbed or blocked. All personnel must be clear of a load before lowering or lifting.
• Lift only dead weight loads. Do not add additional weight to a lifted load.
• Do not use jacks that are damaged, altered or in poor condition.
• The reservoir must have sufcient hydraulic uid to fully stroke the jack. Use only approved hydraulic uids.
• Read and understand the operating instructions in this manual, and the ASME B30.1 and EN 1494 safety code for
jacks.
• Users must ensure that all safety related decals and stickers are whole and readable. Replace those which become
unreadable.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTINUED:
• Never use extreme heat to disassemble a hydraulic ram or cylinder. Metal fatigue can lead to unsafe conditions.
• Be aware of possible "pinch points" of the jack, and stay clear to avoid personal injury.
• When lifting with the edge of the lifting toe, place a wedge between the load and the top of the lifting toe to
avoid bending the cylinder column.
• Carry the jack only by the carrying handle. Make sure the jack is in the fully lowered position.
• End users must be trained in the proper use of the jack..
• Remove operating levers when not in use to avoid accidental dislocation of the jack, and reduce the tripping
hazard.
• Make sure all personnel are clear of the load before lifting or lowering.
• DO NOT use extenders unless authorized by a qualied person.
• Never use this tool when working around electried rail unless it is de-energized or you have been properly
trained to work on electried rail. If you are not sure the rail is live or not, you must treat it as being live and
dangerous to life.

MAINTENANCE & CARE
GENERAL PROTECTION
Store the Track Jackin an upright position, in a place
where it is protected from the elements, abrasive dust,
and damage.
Use only recommended repair and replacement parts
and materials specied in the Parts List section of this
manual.
Do not use the jack for applications it was not designed
for.
Use the carrying handle to transport the Track Jack from
location to location. Do not carry the Track Jack by
inserting the jack handle in the socket.
CLEANING
Establish a routine to keep the jack as free from dirt as
possible – daily, or at each shift change, for example.
Jacks exposed to rain, sand, or grit-laden air should be
cleaned prior to each use.
Exposed screw threads should be cleaned and re-lubricated as necessary.
ADDING FLUID WHEN NEEDED
A jack that is low on hydraulic uid can lift a full load,
but not to the full lift height. As the reservoir begins to
run dry, the lever socket becomes very easy to pump,
and the jack stops lifting. To add oil:
1. Fully retract the plunger.
2. Remove the ll plug.
3. Fill the reservoir with new, clean uid (use ISO#15
Hydraulic Fluid) to a level 1/8 inch below the bottom of the ll plug hole.
WARNING
Do not overll or underll the reservoir
as this may damage the jack.
ANNUAL FLUID CHANGE
Regardless of usage, the Track Jack hydraulic uid
should be changed annually to ensure proper operation
of the jack. To drain the uid:
Keep the cylinder clean at all times. Keep the piston
retracted when not in use.
Operating lever and load-bearing surfaces should be
free of slippery material or uids.
Keep tool labels and stickers legible.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
The Track Jack holds approximately 28 ounces/820 cc
cubic inches of hydraulic uid in its reservoir.
DANGER
DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID OR OTHER
NON-APPROVED SUBSTITUTE FLUIDS.
LIGHTER WEIGHT FLUIDS MAY CAUSE
THE JACK TO FAIL UNDER LOAD.
8 ► TJ10 User Manual
1. Thoroughly clean the area around the ll plug.
2. Remove the ll plug and lay the Track Jack on its
back to allow the uid to drain from the ll hole into
an appropriate receptacle.
3. Dispose of the used hydraulic uid in accordance
with Environmental Protection Agency regulations.
4. Make sure dirt or other contaminants do not enter
the reservoir while the ll plug is removed. When
drained, check the uid for contaminants. If the
uid appears gritty or dirty, ush the reservoir with
clean hydraulic uid before relling.
5. Rell the reservoir with the recommended hydraulic
uid. Stand the jack upright, and with the piston
fully retracted, ll the reservoir until the uid level
is 1/8 inch below the bottom of the ll plug.
6. Before returning the jack to service, fully extend the
piston without a load by pumping the pump handle
without the long extension handle. If the uid level
is correct, the pump handle will become almost impossible to pump by hand as the piston reaches full
extension. Replace the plug.
7. It may be necessary to bleed air out of the cylinder.
See instructions below for purging air.
8. Inspect the jack for leaks, cracks, or other damage.
DANGER
Immediately take out of service any
jack that appears to be damaged or
PURGING AIR
Air trapped within the jack hydraulic system can be
removed by performing the following steps.
leaking.
MAINTENANCE & CARE
1. Make sure the plunger is fully retracted.
2. Pry out the cap on top of the unit.
3. Loosen (Do Not Remove) the capscrew under the
cap located in the top of the plunger.
4. Place the jack in a suitable xture to prevent the
extension of the plunger while purging air.
DANGER
The xture used to prevent extension
of the plunger while purging air must
be able to withstand the full ten ton
force of the jack.
5. Add hydraulic uid to the reservoir if necessary. See
instructions above for adding uid.
6. Pump the handle until oil comes up through the
thread area of the capscrew in the plunger.
7. Tighten the socket head capscrew to 10-12 ft.
lbs./14-16 Nm.
8. Top off the reservoir with hydraulic uid. NOTE:
Make sure the plunger is fully retracted before lling
the reservoir.

DEATH COULD RESULT FROM THE IMPROPER
USE OF THIS TOOL.
PREOPERATION PROCEDURES
Before putting a new Track Jack into initial service,
or after an extended period of being unused, perform
a visual inspection for bent, broken, cracked, missing
or worn components. Ensure the hydraulic uid and
lubricant level is correct. Fully extend and retract the
jack without a load to ensure that the jack is primed and
operating properly.
RAISING A LOAD
1. Before using the Track Jack, make sure that it is set
on a rm surface capable of bearing the intended
load.
WARNING
Use only the recommended length jack
handle. DO NOT use longer handles or
extenders.
5. Remove the jack handle from the handle socket once
the load reaches its desired height.
6. Crib or block the load to prevent accidently dropping the load.
LOWERING A LOAD
1. Make sure all personnel are clear of the load.
2. Remove cribbing or blocking if used.
3. Open the release valve by turning it counterclockwise (open slowly).
DANGER
2. Make sure the release valve is closed, by turning it
clockwise until it is hand tight.
DANGER
Overtightening the release valve can damage
the valve seat. DO NOT use pliers or wrenches
to tighten the release valve.
3. Pump the handle by hand until the toe lift or head
lift plate rises to and engages the load.
DANGER
Make certain that the lifting toe is fully
engaged on the load, and the entire jack is
stable, before proceeding further.
4. Insert the jack handle fully into the handle socket
and pump until the desired lift has been obtained.
Lowering speed is controlled by opening the
release valve more or less. DO NOT open the
valve more than two full turns.
4. When the load reaches the desired level, close the
release valve by turning it clockwise until it is hand
tight.
HORIZONTAL OPERATION
