Floor Jack
Preparation
Before Use
1. Verify that the product and the application are compatible, if any doubt call Customer Support @ (816) 891-6390.
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 the stamped end of the provided handle to engage and turn the
release valve:
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further thread engagement. This is the
'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 'OPEN' release valve position used to lower the load.
4. With saddle fully lowered and release valve fully closed, pump the operating handle. If lift arm responds
immediately,
jack is ready for use. If jack does not respond, follow Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air instruction below.
5. Check to ensure that jack rolls freely (if so equipped) and that the pump operates smoothly before putting
into service. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with factory Authorized Replacement Parts only.
Contact the manufacturer or distributor of this product for a list of factory authorized service centers (see page 5,
Replacement Parts List). Lubricate as instructed in Maintenance Section.
Bleeding / Venting Trapped Air
With the release valve in the OPEN position (3b above) and with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil filler
plug. Insert the handle into the handle sleeve; then pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized
air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Oil level should be even with the bottom of the oil filler plug hole.
Reinstall the oil filler plug.
