INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose or missing parts. Any jack which appears to
be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs are made.
SET UP
1. Depress the upper handle lock in the upper handle while simultaneously inserting the end of the upper handle in the lower handle. Rotate the upper handle back
and forth until the handle lock seats in the lower handle lock hole.
2. Unscrew the handle socket bolt so that it will not interfere with the insertion of the handle in the handle socket. Insert the handle in the handle socket and rotate
the handle assembly back and forth until the u-joint assembly (see page 6) fits in the receiver in the bottom of the handle. Secure the handle in the handle socket
by tightening the handle bolt.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLEEDING AIR
Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system during shipping and handling. Trapped air will affect the pumping performance of the jack. If this occurs, follow
the air bleeding procedure below:
STEP 1: Turn the handle to the right until it stops. Pump the handle from its vertical position to its horizontal position WITHOUT A LOAD
to raise the lift arm to maximum height. If the jack raises to maximum height in 7 to 8 pump strokes, it is ready for use.
If the jack does not go to the maximum height WITHOUT A LOAD in 7 to 8 strokes, follow step 2.
STEP 2:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death. IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for
recommended lifting surfaces.
1. Put vehicle transmission in park or in gear and then apply the emergency brake.
To raise load: Turn the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Position the jack under the load. Proceed to pump the handle in order to raise the lift
arm to the load. As the saddle at the end of the lift arm gets closer to the load, reposition the jack so the saddle will contact the load firmly and the load
is centered on the saddle. Make sure the saddle is correctly positioned. Raise the load to the desired work height. Place jack stands of appropriate
capacity at the vehicle manufacturers's recommended support areas that provide stable support for the raised vehicle. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER
VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS! Once jack stands are positioned, turn the jack handle VERY SLOWLY
in a counterclockwise direction to lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Inspect the relationship between the jack stands and load to make sure the
setup is stable and safe. If the setup is not stable or safe, follow the preceding steps until corrected.
To lower load: Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise load" section of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in order to raise the load off the jack

stands. Once the load has cleared the jack stands, remove the jack stands from under the load and away from the work area. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER
VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS! Turn handle very slowly in a counter clockwise direction until the
load is completely lowered to the ground. Once the jack's lifting saddle has cleared the load, remove the jack from under the load. CAUTION: Keep
hands and feet away from the hinge mechanism of the jack.
