GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Position the Jack
Position the jack to only lift on the areas of the vehicle as specied by the vehicle manufacturer.
Always Use Jack Stands
After lifting the vehicle always support the load with appropriately rated vehicle Jacks stands before working
on the vehicle.
Do Not Overload Jack
Do not overload this jack beyond its rated capacity. Overloading this jack beyond its rated capacity can cause
damage to or failure of the jack.
Always Use on Hard Level Surfaces
This jack is designed only for use on hard level surfaces capable of sustaining the load. Use on unstable or
other possible loss of load.
Chock and Block (Stabilize)
Apply parking brake in vehicle before operating jack.
A chock is a wedge for steadying an object and holding it motionless, or for preventing the movement of a
wheel Chock the wheel opposite the end being lifted.
When you block a load, you secure and support a load that is being lifted. The block(s) or stabilizer(s) should
have a weight capacity that is greater than the weight of the load which is being lifted.
Center Load on Jack Saddle
Center load on jack saddle before lifting vehicle.
Off-center loads and loads lifted when the jack is not level can cause loss of load or damage to the jack.
Do not raise or lower the vehicle unless tools, materials and people are clear.
When the lift is being lowered, make sure everyone is standing at least six feet away. Be sure there are no
tools or equipment left under or around the jack before lowering.
Always lower the jack slowly.
DO NOT USE THE JACK TO SUPPORT OR STABILIZE A LOAD.
Using the jack to support or stabilize a load may result in unexpected movement and result in serious injury,
being crushed and death. Always securely chock and block (stabilize) the load to be lifted. Never place any
part of the body under a raised load without properly chocking and supporting the load.
Never use the jack on curved or tubular vehicle
Bumpers, this will result in the vehicle slipping off the jack and falling, causing serious injury or death. Use a
bumper lift to lift most vehicles with curved bumpers or plastic bumpers.
Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses and heavy-duty work gloves during use.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
If you use and maintain your equipment properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the
maintenance instructions carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never perform any
maintenance on the equipment while it is under a load.
Inspection
You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all components
function before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product performance.
Binding
If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to lower the load
safely to the ground. After un-binding; clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working properly. Rusty
components, dirt, or worn parts can be causes of binding Clean and lubricate the equipment as indicated in
the lubrication section. Test the equipment by lifting without a load. If the binding continues contact Customer
Service.
Cleaning
If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to clean
the equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant.
Lubrication
This equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the equipment without proper
lubrication will result in poor performance and damage to the equipment. Some parts in this equipment are not
self-lubricating inspect the equipment before use and lubricate when necessary. After cleaning, lubricate the
equipment using light penetrating oil, lubricating spray.
• Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
• For light duty use lubrication once a month.
• For heavy and constant use lubrication recommended every week.
• NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!
Rust Prevention:
Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load lift the equipment as high as it goes and look under and behind the lifting points. If signs of rust
are visible clean as needed.
Grease Fittings
Some models contain grease ttings the will regularly need to be greased and lubricated.
How the Jack Operates
With release valve closed, an upward stroke of the jack handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into the
plunger cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the plunger cavity. A
downward stroke of the jack handle releases oil into the cylinder, which forces the ram out. This raises the
saddle. When the ram reaches maximum extension, oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to prevent an over
extended ram stroke and possible damage to the jack. Opening the release valve allows oil to ow back into
reservoir. This releases hydraulic pressure on the ram, which results in lowering the saddle.
Storing the Jack
1. Lower the hydraulic ram to lowest position.
2. Leave lowering valve open.
3. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.
Note: If the jack is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to ensure the jack stays
in good working condition. Always store jack in the fully retracted postion when stored in outdoor or caustic
enviroments that can cause corrosion and/or rust.

TO ADD JACK OIL
TO REPLACE JACK OIL
The hydraulic cylinder assembly contains hydraulic
uid that must be kept at approximately 80% full at
all times for proper operation. To check the level and
to ll remove oil ller plug.
1. Position the jack on level ground and lower the
saddle.
2. Remove the oil plug.
3. Fill the oil case until oil level to 80% full.
4. Replace oil plug.
5. Perform the Air Purge Procedure.
1. Position the jack on level ground and lower the
saddle.
2. Open release valve by turning handle counterclockwise (4 full turns).
3. Remove the oil ll plug.
4. Turn the jack on its side so that old oil will drain
from the oil ll hole.
5. Position the jack on level ground and lower the
saddle.
6. Fill the oil case until oil level to 80% full.
KEEP DIRT AND OTHER MATERIALS CLEAR
WHEN POURING.
7. Replace oil plug.
8. Perform the Air Purge Procedure.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS:
Important: Use only a quality 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.
LUBRICATION
1. Lubricate the shaft threads of the adjustable
screw assembly (13&14) with #2 tube grease
when necessary.
• DO NOT USE MOTOR OIL IN THE JACK.
• ONLY USE ANTI-FOAMING JACK OIL.
• ALWAYS USE A GOOD GRADE HYDRAULIC
JACK OIL.
• DO NOT USE HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID,
ALCOHOL, GLYCERINE, DETERGENT, MOTOR
OIL OR DIRTY OIL.
• USE OF A NON-RECOMMENDED FLUID CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO A JACK.
• AVOID MIXING DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLUID
AND NEVER USE BRAKE FLUID, TURBINE
OIL, TRANSMISSION FLUID, MOTOR OIL OR
GLYCERIN. IMPROPER FLUID CAN CAUSE
PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE JACK AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR SUDDEN AND IMMEDIATE
LOSS OF LOAD.
• DISPOSE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS.
2. A 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.
3. Periodically check the pump piston and ram for
signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and
wipe with an oil cloth.
4. When not in use, store the Jack with pump piston
and ram fully retracted.
