IMPORTANT: After bleeding the jack, test the jack for proper
operation prior to its actual use.
6.
If, after bleeding, the jack does not appear to be working properly, do not use
it until repaired by a qualified service technician.
ADDING HYDRAULIC FLUID
1.
Remove the fill screw. Do not remove or loosen safety valve cover screws.
2.
Add high grade hydraulic fluid (#32 hydraulic oil—sold separately) slowly until
the fluid reaches 1/4" (6 mm) below the top of the fill port.
Note: Do not touch the handle when adding hydraulic fluid.
3.
Replace fill screw.
LIFTING
WARNING Park vehicle on a flat, level, solid surface safely away from oncoming
traffic. Turn off the vehicle's engine. Place the vehicle's transmission in "park" (if
automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual). Set the vehicle's emergency brake.
Then chock the wheels that are not being lifted.
1.
Slowly twist the handle counterclockwise to lower the jack. Once the jack is
fully lowered, twist the handle firmly clockwise.
2.
Carefully position the jack's saddle under the vehicle manufacturer's
recommended lifting point (see vehicle manufacturer's owner's manual for
location of frame lifting point).
3.
Pump the handle until the top of the saddle has nearly reached the vehicle's
lifting point. Position the saddle directly under the vehicle's lifting point.
4.
To lift the vehicle, pump the handle. Use only smooth, full strokes.
5.
Select matching jack stands (sold separately) of appropriate capacity. Set the
jack stands to the same height according to the manufacturer's instructions,
making sure they lock securely into position.
6.
Position the jack stands' saddles under the vehicle manufacturer's
recommended support points.
WARNING Ensure that the vehicle support points are fully seated in the
saddles of both jack stands. Use a matched pair of jack stands per vehicle to
support one end only.
7.
Slowly twist the handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle onto the jack
stands' saddles.
8.
Once the vehicle is fully seated on the jack stands, continue slowly lowering
the jack until it is completely lowered.
