Do not use for any other purpose except the raising and lowering of vehicles, never use to raise any structure or building, Do not lift any human and never ride on jack.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the jack. Do not use the jack while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the jack increases the risk of injury to persons.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.
3. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the jack in unexpected situations.
4. Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.

Preparing Work Area
Before using jack to lift vehicle, it is important to prepare work area properly. Follow this procedure each time the jack is used to help prevent property damage and or serious injury.

1. Plan location of jack beneath vehicle, making sure jack will be contacting only a jack support area of vehicle.
2. Clear obstructions from work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is dangerous.
3. Clear children and others from work area before moving or lifting vehicle. Another adult should be nearby for extra safety and assistance but must be clear of vehicle as it is moved or lifted.
4. Conduct a pre-operational check of the equipment. Thoroughly inspect jack for damage or wear before each use.
5. Briefly test operation of unvehicled jack before using to lift any vehicle. If jack is damaged or is malfunctioning DO NOT LIFT ANY VEHICLE until the problem is corrected.
6. The Vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual should be consulted prior to the lifting of the vehicle. It will advise safety precautions, jacking procedure, vehicle weight, recommended jack type, and location of jack support areas on vehicle. NEVER EXCEED WORKING VEHICLE LIMIT OF JACK.
7. The hydraulic vehicle jack should be used for lifting and lowering only; the raised vehicle should be supported on suitably rated vehicle support stands, and the hydraulic trolley jack support stands (not included) and the hydraulic trolley jack removed, prior to commencement of work on the vehicle. Vehicle support stands (not included) will be needed to support vehicle once it is in raised position. Read and understand jack stands manufacturer’s instructions and safety information before use and before lifting the vehicle with this jack.
8. Be sure jack and vehicle are on solid, level ground such as paved or concrete driveway or garage floor. The jack should be used on level firm ground wherever possible. Uneven or sloped surfaces create hazardous working conditions and dangerously impede the function of the jack. Ensure the jack is free to roll during lifting and lowering.
9. No person should remain in a vehicle that is being lifted. No person should enter a vehicle which is supported by a jack or by vehicle support stands. No person should lean into a vehicle which is supported by a jack or by vehicle support stands.
10. No person should place any part of their body under a vehicle that it supported only by a trolley jack.
11. With vehicle in proper position, set vehicle’s parking brake or emergency brake and put gear-shift in park (manual transmissions should be placed in 1st gear). Twist VEHICLE IGNITION OFF AND TO THE “LOCK” POSITION making sure steering wheel locks.
12. It is recommended that the unlifted wheels of the vehicle be chocked. Do not rely on vehicle transmission or brakes to hold vehicle in position. Chock all wheels of vehicle not being lifted off the ground to prevent vehicle rolling. Using wedge-shaped blocks that tyre cannot roll over, position one chock tight against the tyre in both forward and reverse rolling paths.
13. The vehicle should be centrally located on the head cap. Off-centre vehicles can be unstable.

Bleeding / Venting Trapped Air
Note: Before first use, the hydraulic ram may need to be purged. Some air may intrude in the hydraulic system due to movement during shipping. Air bubbles can become trapped inside the hydraulic system, thereby reducing the efficiency of the Jack.

1. Use the handle assembly to twist the release valve 1-1/2 turns counter-clockwise (fig.5).
2. Rapidly pump the handle assembly 10 to 20 times to purge air from the hydraulic system (fig.6).
3. Use the handle assembly to twist the release valve clockwise until tight (fig.7). Do not over-tighten.

Operation

Your Kincrome Trolley Jack is designed to be used with a specific handle length and head cap size. See below for details.

Before first using jack carry out the following preparation:

1. Check oil level – Open release valve with the handle assembly (fig.4) not more than two twists and press down on head cap (1) (fig.9) to ensure lifting arm (2) is fully down.
2. Remove the 4 screws fixing the pump cover to the jack and remove the pump cover.
3. Remove fluid filler plug (fig.8). Hydraulic fluid level should be visible at the oil filler hole approx 12 mm below fluid filler, top as required (refer to the “Maintenance and Storage” pg 8).
4. Bleed system – refer to the above “Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air”.
5. Lubricate – The Hydraulic Trolley Jack does not require lubricating before first use. It is recommended to periodically grease the wheels and lifting arm pivot via the fitted grease nipple.
   Raising the Lifting Arm

WARNING!: Do not over load this jack’s maximum capacity, refer to the specification section (pg 2) for the Max Working Vehicle Limits.

WARNING!: The vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual should be consulted for the correct lift points prior to the lifting of the vehicle. Place vehicle in park, with hand brake on and wheel securely chocked to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.

1. Close release valve by twisting the handle assembly clockwise until firm resistance is felt (fig.4).

2. Inspect position of head cap (1) beneath support area, making sure it is centred and properly engaging support area.

3. Slowly pump the handle assembly until the head cap (1) contact the vehicle’s lift point.

4. To lift, continue pumping until vechile reaches desired height. Pay attention to head cap (1) position as vehicle is being raised to be sure there is
   no danger of support area slipping off or lifting from the head cap (1).

5. Place jack stands (always use in pairs) under vehicle support areas.

6. SLOWLY twist jack handle assembly counter-clockwise (fig 5) to ease vehicle down onto jack stands.

Working on Vehicle
Any vehicle being supported by a jack or jack stands creates a potentially hazardous working environment.
Do not move or roll a jack that is supporting a vehicle. Never place any part of your body beneath a vehicle supported by a jack. Be careful of forces
applied to vehicle such as torque on a nut or bolt. These forces could cause vehicle to become unstable on jack stands if they are not properly
placed. Do not turn on the vehicle’s ignition or attempt to start any vehicle supported by a jack or jack stands.

Lowering the Lifting Arm

Caution!: Make certain that all personnel are clear of the vehicle before lowering. Control the rate of descent of the vehicle at all times. The more you open the release valve, the faster the vechile descends.

1. Raise vehicle high enough to clear the jack stands, then carefully remove jack stands.
2. Slowly twist the handle assembly counter-clockwise (fig.4) until the jack just begins to lower.
3. Carefully control speed of descending vehicle. Lowering a vehicle too fast can cause property damage or serious injury.
4. After removing the jack from under the vehicle, push down on the lifting arm (2) (fig.9) to reduce the pump ram exposure to rust and contamination.
5. If the vehicle fails to lower:
   • Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
   • Remove the affected jack. Repeat steps 1-4.

Maintenance and Storage

Moving parts on a jack should be lubricated occasionally with a light machine oil to maintain efficient operation. Apply oil to joints on Lift Arm (2)
hinges, push rods, Handle Base (3), Rear Castors (6), Front Rollers (7). Wipe away excess oil and grease with soft cloth.

Maintaining Oil Level

Important Note:
When adding or replacing oil, always use a good grade hydraulic jack fluid. Avoid mixing types of oil. DO NOT use brake fluid, alcohol, glycerine,
detergent, motor oil or dirty oil, Improper fluid can cause serious internal damage to a jack.

Adding Oil:
With Head Cap (1) fully lowered & the Jack on level ground, remove the 4 screws and lift the pump cover where fitted.
Remove air vent valve (fig 8). Hydraulic fluid level should be visible at the air vent valve hole approx 12mm below air vent valve hole, do not
overfill. If low, add fluid as needed then close air vent valve.

Replacing Oil:
For better performance & longevity, replace oil supply once a year. To drain oil, open air vent valve and loosen the release valve by twisting handle assembly counter-clockwise. BE VERY CAREFUL not to permit dirt or foreign matter to get into the system. Invert the jack over suitable container and allow oil to drain. Close release valve by twisting handle assembly clockwise, fill with good grade hydraulic jack oil close air vent valve wipe away any spilt fluid. Test the jack before lifting a vehicle.

Cleaning
The jack should be wiped clean with soft cloth only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other such solvents or any abrasive cleanser as cleaning agents and solvents will cause deterioration of the hydraulic seals.

Storage
Before storage, twist handle assembly 1-1/2 twists counter-clockwise to release pressure in hydraulic cylinder.
Leave handle in this position. Store the jack level, in a clean environment preferably indoors, in a dry area to protect the jack from moisture.
