BEFORE USE

Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged, loose, or missing parts.

• Consult the vehicle owner’s manual to determine the location of lift points.
• Be sure to set the vehicle in park with the emergency brake on and wheels securely chocked.
• Be sure that the vehicle and the jack are on a hard, level surface.

OPERATION

1. This jack is equipped with a handle position lock. To adjust the handle, release the lock device by pulling the lever up. The lever is spring-loaded so, so it should lock into the desired position.
2. Make sure the jack and load are on a hard-level surface.
3. Always set the vehicle parking brake and block the wheels.
4. Check the placement of the jack. The load must be centered on the jack saddle. Avoid jack wheel obstructions such as gravel, tools, or uneven expansion joints.
5. Position the jack under the load using the manufacturer’s recommended lifting points on the chassis.
6. Connect the compressed air supply to the jack. (Compressed air should be clean, dry, and regulated at 120-170psi). Install an air filter/lubricator in the workshop air-line, because the water in the airline will damage the jack.
7. Rotate the lever RIGHT to the UP position. (To stop air operation, simply release the grip on the lift control trigger). Continue to pump the jack until the head cap reaches the load.
8. Before raising the load, double-check and verify the saddle is centered and has full contact with the specified lifting point.
9. Rotate the lever RIGHT to the UP position (To stop air operation, simply release the grip on the lift control trigger). Continue to pump the jack to lift the load to the desired height.
10. Always immediately position approved support stands under the load at points that will provide stable support in accordance with the vehicle or load manufactures recommendations.
11. Always lower the load slowly onto the support stands by rotating the lever LEFT to the DOWN position.
12. Carefully lower the load onto the support stands by rotating the lever to the DOWN position

Lowering the load

1. Raise the load by following Steps 2-9
2. Raise the load high enough to allow clearance for the support stands to be removed by rotating the lever to the Right UP position.
3. Carefully remove the support stands
4. Grasp the jack handle firmly. Securely hold onto the jack handle so that your hands do not slip and ensure the release valve does not lower rapidly.
5. Carefully open the release valve by slowly rotating the LEVER to the LEFT DOWN position.
6. Once the load has been lowered, remove the jack from beneath the load, and fully retract the ram to prevent exposure to dirt and grime.

INSPECTION

• Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
• The jack shall always be maintained in accordance with the maintenance instructions (Section 7). No alterations or modifications shall be made to this Jack.
• Inspections shall be performed in accordance with this owner’s manual.
• The jack must be inspected immediately if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock.
• Owners and /or operators should be aware that repair of this product may require specialized equipment and knowledge (refer to maintenance section).

STORAGE

This jack should always be stored in a dry location on a level surface with the lift ram pistons in the fully retracted position, where it will not be exposed to corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements.

MAINTENANCE

Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc, can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed to keep the jack well maintained and operational.
Important: Dirt is the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic units. Keep the jack clean and well lubricated to prevent foreign matter from entering the system. If the jack has been exposed to rain, snow, sand, or grit it must be cleaned before it is stored or used.

• Only use replacement parts that are approved by the manufacturer. Disconnect the air supply before performing any maintenance operation.
• Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle, wheels, and pump mechanism with light Hydraulic oil.
• Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts, or hydraulic oil leaks.
• Any hydraulic jack found to be damaged, worn, or operating abnormally must be removed from service until repaired by an authorized service representative.
• Regularly clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
• Check and maintain the hydraulic ram oil level.
• Check the ram every three months for any sign of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with a clean oily cloth. When not in use always leave the saddle and ram all the way down.
• Always store your jack in the fully retracted position. This will help protect critical areas from corrosion. Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals.

ONLY USE HIGH-QUALITY HYDRAULIC FLUID – ISO68
