! WARNING
• Study, understand and follow all instructions before
operating this device.
• Use of this product is limited to lifting, lowering
and holding loads consisting of a single riding lawn
mower whose lifting points are compatible with the
lifting platform. Incompatibility is evident when the
loaded mower wobbles, appears unstable, and/or
does not securely engage the lift platform.
• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Use only on hard, level surface capable of
supporting the load.
• Center load on lift platform.
• When lifting the mower, center track between wheel
cradles.
• Immediately after lifting load, ensure Height Locking
Lever is engaged.
• Engage locking caster mechanism before working
on or around loaded lift. Do not move or dolly load
supported by this device.
• Restraining an incompatible load will not make the
load secure and may cause unexpected loss of
load.
• Never work on, around or under a load that is not
secured and stable.
• Keep operator's and bystander's head, hands and
feet away from lift arms when raising and lowering.
• No alterations shall be made to this product.
• Failure to heed this warning may result in personal
injury and/or property damage.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn from
the closed position. This is the 'OPEN' release valve
position used to lower the ram plunger.

jack is ready for use. If not, follow Bleeding/Venting
Trapped Air procedure, pg. 4. Ensure the oil level is
