BLEEDING
During shipment of your new jack, air may enter into the hydraulic jack system which will cause
weak lifting performance. To rectify this situation, the jack will need to be purged of air.
1. With the handle installed on the jack, rotate it 2 turns counter clockwise.
2. Have someone or use something to hold down the saddle(#3) of the jack.
3. Pump the handle approximately 15 times.
4.
Remove the load holding down the saddle, and continue to pump the handle while closing
the release valve (located inside #37 Handle Yoke).
5.
With the release valve closed, pump the jack to its maximum height and then release the
pressure by turning the handle counter clockwise again.
6. The saddle will now return to its low position and is ready for use.
OPERATION
RAISING
1. To raise the jack, rotate the jack handle clockwise until it stops.
Position the saddle of the jack under the object to be lifted. If the object is a vehicle, refer to
2.
the manufacturer's service manual for recommended lifting points.
3. Pump the jack handle up and down to raise the jack and the load to its appropriate height.
Once the load is lifted to the desired height, use jack stands under the proper lifting points
4.
to secure the load.
LOWERING
1. Clear any loose objects from under the vehicle or load before lowering.
2. Position the saddle of the jack under a recommended lifting point.
3.
Raise the jack so that the saddle contacts the load. Raise the jack to the point that the jack
stand or other supports can be removed.
4.
Slowly rotate the handle counterclockwise to lower the load, allow the jack to return to its
resting position.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
• Provide several drops of oil to pivot points periodically to prevent binding.
• Keep all areas of the jack clean particularly the hydraulic ram and sliding frame components.
• Before each use, check all hardware for tightness, all components for damage, hydraulic fluid
leaks and rust or dirt on moving parts.
• Store in a clean & dry environment when not in use.
BLEEDING
With use your jack may accumulate some air in the hydraulic system which will hinder performance.
If this occurs, follow the bleeding procedure outlined in the Initial Set Up section of this manual.
