Lifting
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used. Lift only on area of the
!
vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended guidelines for lifting. Engage the emergency brake and chock
each unlifted wheel in both directions to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
2. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until firm resistance is felt.
3. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner's manual to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle. Center jack
saddle under lift point.
4. Verify lift point, pump handle to contact lift point. To lift, pump handle until load reaches desired height.
5. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
!
NEVER use hydraulic jack as a stand alone device! ALWAYS transfer the lifted load IMMEDIATELY to a
pair of appropriately rated jack stands. Use one pair of jack stands per vehicle. Rated capacity is per pair
only! Do not exceed rated capacity.
Lowering
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. Slowly open the release valve! The more
!
you turn the handle counter-clockwise, the faster the load will come down. Maintain control of the rate of
speed at which the load lowers at all times!
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.
2. Remove jack stands carefully (always used in pairs).
3. Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the malfunctioning jack and then the jack stands.
c. Use the functioning jack to lower the vehicle.
4. After removing jack from under the vehicle, fully lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.
MaInTenanCe
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid,
turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the
potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent.
adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Remove vent screw.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall vent screw.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove vent screw.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
note. Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall vent screw.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily
cloth.
note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.
