To Raise A Load
1. The vehicle transmission should be in "park" if
automatic or in gear if a standard shift. Apply
the emergency brake.
2. Check with the vehicle's owner's manual or
manufacturer for the proper lifting points.
3. Using the jack's handle FJ400-2, maneuver the
jack so its saddle FJ400-6 is positioned right
below the vehicle's designated lift point. Rotate
the jack's handle FJ400-2 clockwise until it
stops.
4. Pump the jack slowly to ensure the saddle will
be aligned with the vehicle's lift point. As the
saddle gets closer to the lift point, reposition the
jack so the saddle will contact the lift point
firmly and the load is centered on the saddle.
If the saddle and load are not properly aligned,
rotate the handle slowly in a counterclockwise
direction so the saddle is released from the
vehicle. Repeat step 4 until the saddle and
vehicle lift point are properly aligned.
• Jack may allow vehicle to fall if
additional support is not used while
working on vehicle
Use jack and jack stands only on
a hard level surface.
Do
not
supported only by the jack.
Use jack stands in pairs to
support the vehicle immediately
after lifting.
Falling vehicle can cause property
damage, serious injury or death.

5. After the vehicle has been lifted to its desired
work height, place jack stands at the vehicle's
designated support points and raise the jack
stand's support columns as high as they will
go without touching the vehicle's support
points. Make sure the stand's support columns
are aligned with the vehicle's support points
and the support points will not be resting on the
columns' locating lugs.
6. After the jack stands have been properly
positioned and their columns adjusted to the
required height, rotate the jack's handle
slowly counterclockwise to lower the vehicle on
the stands. Inspect the relationship between
the jack stands and vehicle support points to
make sure the setup is stable and safe. If the
setup is not stable and safe, follow the
preceding steps until corrected. If the setup is
safe, continue rotating the jack's handle until its
saddle is lowered all the way down and remove
the jack from underneath the vehicle.
To Lower A Load
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 under To Raise
A Load above.
2. Slowly pump the jack until the vehicle lift points
are raised off and clear the jack stand's
columns.
3. Remove the jack stands from under the vehicle
without crawling under the vehicle.
4. Rotate
the
jack's
counterclockwise direction to lower the vehicle.
Once the jack's saddle has cleared the
vehicle's lift point, remove the jack from
underneath the vehicle.
