frame with wheels and swivel casters supporting a mechanism that
actuates a pivoting lift arm equipped with a saddle. It is designed for

use by professional auto mechanics.

Breather

BEFORE USE

IMPORTANT! BEFORE USING THIS JACK:

The breather located below hole in cross plate must be opened. Insert
slotted screw driver through hole and turn breather screw counter
clockwise until it stops turning. Do not force screw past stopping
point.

Service

Quick Lift

THIS IS A LIFTING DEVICE ONLY. DO NOT MOVE OR DOLLY THE VEHICLE
WHILE ON THE JACK. IMMEDIATELY AFTER LIFTING, SUPPORT THE VEHICLE
WITH APPROPRIATE MEANS.

DO NOT OVERLOAD. OVERLOADING CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO OR FAILURE
OF THE JACK.

LIFT ONLY ON AREAS OF THE VEHICLE AS SPECIFIED BY THE VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER.

CENTER LOAD ON SADDLE PRIOR TO LIFTING. OFF-CENTER LOADS MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE TO JACK, LOSS OF LOAD, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
OR FATAL INJURY.

THIS JACK IS DESIGNED FOR USE ONLY ON HARD LEVEL SURFACES CAPABLE
OF SUSTAINING THE LOAD. USE ON OTHER THAN HARD LEVEL SURFACES
CAN RESULT IN JACK INSTABILITY AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF LOAD.

NO ALTERATIONS TO THE JACK SHALL BE MADE.
READ, STUDY AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATING MANUAL PACKED WITH

THIS JACK BEFORE OPERATING.
FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF LOAD,

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND TO PREVENT INJURY:

Use Service Jack

for lifting purposes

ONLY.

Always support

vehicle with
jack

stands.

INSPECTION

Visual inspection should be made before each use of the
jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged,
loose or missing parts. Each jack must be inspected by a

nufacturer’s repair facility immediately, if subjected to

ma
an abnormal load or shock. Any jack which appears to be
damaged in any way, found to be badly worn, or operates
abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until
necessary repairs are made by a manufacturer’s authorized
repair facility. It is recommended that an annual inspection
of the jack be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair

cility and that any defective parts, decals or warning labels

fa
be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts.

A list of authorized repair facilities is available from

e manufacturer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise a vehicle, check

vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.

1. To raise load: Close release valve tightly (by turning
handle clockwise). DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Position
jack under load so that saddle will contact load firmly 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! Place jack stands at vehicle manufacturer's

recommended lift areas that provide stable support for
the raised vehicle.

2. To lower load: Open release valve VERY SLOWLY
(by tur

ning handle counterclockwise). When release valve
is opened, saddle and load will be lowered. Lower the
vehicle slowly so as not to shock load the jack stands.
Once repairs are completed, raise vehicle enough to
remove jack stands. Lower vehicle very slowly.

CAUTION: Keep hands or feet away from the hinge
mechanism of

the jack.

LUBRICATION

All moving joints require lubrication on a regular maintance
schedule. Remove handle and grease the lower end of handle
where it rotates in the handle socket. Using a grease gun,
lubricate the lift arm pivot shaft grease fitting until grease
appears at the end of the shaft. Grease all lift arm linkages,

front wheels and rear casters.

OWNER/USER RESPONSIBILITY

The owner and/or user must have a thorough understanding of
the manufacturer’s operating instructions and warnings before
using this jack. Personnel involved in the use and operation of
equipment shall be careful, competent, trained, and qualified
in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use when
servicing motor vehicles and their components. Warning
information should be emphasized and understood. If the
operator is not fluent in English, the manufacturer’s instructions
and warning shall be read to and discussed with the operator
in the operator’s native language by the purchaser/owner,
making sure that the operator comprehends its contents.

Owner and/or user must study and maintain for future refer­ence the manufacturers’ instructions. Owner and/or user is
responsible for keeping all warning labels and instruction
manuals legible and intact. Replacement labels and literature
are available from the manufacturer.

PROPER STORAGE

It is recommended that this jack be stored in a dry location
with all wheels touching the ground on a relatively level
surface.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Important: Service jacks are self-contained devices used for
lifting, but not sustaining, a partial vehicular load. In accor­dance with ASME-PALD standard, section 10-4.1.2 Load
Sustaining Test: “A load not less than the rated capacity…
shall not lower more than 1/8” (3.18mm) in the first minute,
nor a total of .1875” (4.76mm) in 10 minutes.” Leak down
within this range is considered normal operation and is NOT
a warrantable defect.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: When adding or replacing hydraulic fluid,

always use a quality hydraulic fluid. DO NOT use brake
fluid, alcohol, glycerine, detergent motor oil, or dirty oil as
improper fluid can cause serious internal damage to jack.

To add hydraulic fluid: With saddle fully lowered and jack on
level ground, remove breather. The hydraulic fluid should just
cover the surface of the internal cylinder visible through the hole.
Do not overfill. Replace breather. If low, add hydraulic fluid
as needed.

Maintenance and Inspection: The owner and/or user
must maintain
manufacture's instruction

PROBLEM

Jack will not lift load or

leaks down excessively

Jack will not hold load

or handle rises

Jack will not lift to

its full height

Jack will not lower

completely

Jack will not lift smoothly

or jack feels spongy

SOLUTION

The release valve is not closed. Turn the valve clockwise tightly.
If this does not work, remove handle, lubricate handle
receptacle and handle end,

then retry.

Low on hydraulic fluid. Refill the jack to the correct level of
hydraulic fluid, using an approved hydraulic fluid or jack oil.

Pump seals or back-up ring may be defective. Clean hydraulic fluid
passages, replace seals and refill hydraulic fluid.
(Must be serviced

by qualified service center)

The hydraulic system has trapped air.
Open the release valve,

pump handle rapidly (4) full strokes

to purge air,

close release valve.

Return spring is broken or linkages are binding. Replace spring if bro­ken. Grease pivot shaft

and all lift arm linkages.

Discharge ball is not sealing hydraulic system and oil may be dirty.
Manually flush hydraulic system. Open the release valve, as required,
to raise and lower the lift arm. Manually raise
and lower lift ar
