Operation

HOW IT WORKS
The jack power unit consists of a plunger, oil tank, cylinder and ram. An upward stroke of the jack handle draws oil from the tank into the plunger. Hydraulic pressure closes a valve that keeps oil in the cavity. A downward stroke of the jack handle forces oil in to the cylinder, pushing out the ram and raising the saddle.

NOTE
As a protective feature, when the ram reaches maximum extension, sufficient oil passes back into the tank to prevent an overextended ram stroke and possible jack damage. When the release valve is open, oil flows back into the tank, causing the ram to retract, lowering the saddle. It is the owner and/or operators responsibility to study all warnings, operating and maintenance instructions found on the product sticker and instruction manual before using this unit. The owner/operators shall retain product instructions for future reference.

**TO RAISE AND LOWER A VEHICLE

**

Placing the Vehicle in Park
Place vehicle in PARK (in gear on standard transmissions) and apply the emergency brake.

Closing the Jack Release
Close the jack release valve by turning the handle clockwise.

Blocking the Wheels
Block the vehicle wheels for lifting stability.

Centering the Jack
Center jack under load so that saddle contacts load firmly and will not slip. (Refer to vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual to locate the approved lifting points on the vehicle.

Pumping the Jack Handle
Pump the jack handle until saddle nears contact with the vehicle. Check to see that the saddle is centered and will contact the lifting point firmly.

Lifting the Vehicle

Continue to pump the jack handle to lift the vehicle to a height slightly above the jack stands or other supports. Then turn the handle very slowly counterclockwise to open the release valve to lower the vehicle onto the supports.

WARNING
To avoid pinching or crushing hands or feet, ALWAYS keep them clear of the jack hinge and ground contact area when lowering the vehicle. The jack is a lifting device only. DO NOT move or dolly the vehicle while it is on the jack.

Care and Cleaning

INSPECTION
The product shall be maintained according to these instructions. You may not alter this product in any way.

1. Before using, a thorough inspection shall be made on the jack. Look for leaking hydraulic fluid, cracks in the welds, bent, damaged, loose, worn or missing parts.
2. Inspect according to this manual ONLY.
3. If the jack has been subjected to abnormal load or shock (abuse), perform an immediate inspection. Take the product to a local customer service representative for an authorized inspection before use.

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-lubricated:

1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil. Grease bearings and axles.
2. Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
3. Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
4. Check ram after each use for any sign of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oil cloth. When not in use, always leave the saddle and ram all the way down.

Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will help protect the critical areas from excessive corrosion. Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals. Always purchase and use hydraulic jack oil.

CHECKING OIL LEVEL

1. Opening Release Valve
   Release valve must be turned counterclockwise to allow the ram to fully retract. You may need to press down on the saddle to lower.

2. Removing the Oil Plug
   Remove the oil plug (back of the jack) while in a level position. Stand jack vertically with handle socket down. Oil should be level with the bottom of the fill hole.

3. Topping off Oil Level
   Top off, but do not overfill, if needed. Always use new, clean hydraulic jack oil. **

**

4. Replacing the Plug
   Replace the oil plug.

5. Pumping the Handle
   Check to see if the jack works by pumping the handle up and down.
