BEFORE OPERATING THIS TOOL. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.
WARNING: This is a lifting device only. Load must be supported
immediately by Jack Stands.
- DO NOT exceed rated capacity. Overloading can cause damage to or failure of this product.
- Use only on hard, level surfaces capable of sustaining the load. Use of a jack on other than hard-level surfaces can result in jack instability and possible loss of load.
- Lifting device only. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with appropriate means. Ensure that no personnel passes underneath the load until the load is securely supported by jack stands.
- DO NOT adjust the safety valve.
- Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during use.
- Keep clear of load while lifting and lowering.
- Lower the load slowly.
- DO NOT use it for aircraft purposes.
- Apply the parking brake and chock tires before lifting the vehicle.
- Lift vehicles only at vehicle manufacturer-recommended lift locations.
- Inspect before every use; do not use if parts are loose or damaged.
- Do not alter this product in any way.
- Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
- Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating this product. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

- When servicing this product, use only identical replacement parts – refer to the attached, product-specific parts list and diagram. Follow the instructions in the Care & Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury and may void any applicable warranty.

- Before use, read the manufacturer’s instruction manual for the vehicle (or object) you will lift.
- Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
- When lifting only one wheel, support the load immediately with one jack stand (not included) placed under the side of the vehicle being lifted. Align the saddle of the jack stand directly under the vehicle’s frame or recommended lifting point.
- When lifting the entire front end or rear end of a vehicle, support the load immediately with two jack stands. Align the saddles of the jack stands directly under the vehicle’s frame or recommended lifting points. Also, adjust the jack stands to the same height.
- Do not work under the vehicle without properly supporting the vehicle with jack stands.
- Avoid dangerous oncoming traffic. Use the Jack as far away from the roadside as possible.
- Do not allow anyone inside the vehicle while using the Jack. Keep all bystanders a safe distance away from the vehicle.
- Do not support both ends of the vehicle at the same time.
- Before lowering the jack, remove all tools and equipment from under the vehicle.
- The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must understand that common sense and caution are factors, which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
BEFORE USE
NOTE: During shipment or handling, air in the jack can become trapped in the hydraulic system causing the jack to malfunction.
Bleeding Instructions
- Place the pump handle over the release valve and turn counterclockwise no more than two turns to open. (See Figure 1)
- Slowly loosen the oil filler plug. (See Figure 4)
- Pump jack about 6 full strokes to ensure complete distribution of hydraulic fluid.
- Repeat the above steps as needed.
- Retighten the oil filler plug.
CARE AND 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 extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed to keep the jack maintained and operational.
-
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the jack. Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the proper operation of the product. Any jack that appears damaged in any way must be removed from service. Have the problem corrected before further use. DO NOT use damaged equipment.
-
Replace worn or damaged parts with Performance Tool replacement parts. Be sure that only qualified personnel perform repairs.
-
Before each use, thoroughly test the jack for proper operation before its actual use. If the jack appears not to be working properly, follow the bleeding instructions.
-
When the jack is not in use, the ram and pump piston should be in a fully down position to keep their machined surfaces free from corrosion.
-
Keep the jack clean and well-lubricated at points illustrated in Figure 2.
-
For best results, use only hydraulic fluid with a rating of SAE 20 for refills. Check the fluid level
with the jack in the fully down position. The fluid level should be up to the bottom of the oil fill port. (See Figure 4) -
Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three years:
- a. With the jack fully lowered, remove the oil filler plug on the side of the Housing.
- b. Tip the jack to allow the old hydraulic oil to drain out of the Housing completely, and dispose of the old hydraulic oil by local regulations.
- c. With the jack upright, fill the housing with high-quality hydraulic oil (not included) until the oil just begins to run out of the oil fill hole. Be VERY CAREFUL not to allow dirt or foreign matter into the system.
- d. Then, reinstall the oil filler plug.
- e. Clean with a clean cloth using a detergent or mild solvent. Then, store the jack in a safe, dry location with the ram and pump piston in a fully down position. Keep out of reach of children and other non-authorized people.
OPERATION
To raise:
-
Park the vehicle on a hard-level surface safely away from oncoming traffic.
-
Turn off the vehicle’s engine.
-
Place the vehicle’s transmission in PARK, if equipped with an automatic, or in its lowest gear, if equipped with a manual transmission.
-
Set the vehicle’s emergency brake and block the wheels that are not being lifted.
-
Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for proper jacking procedures. Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the manufacturer.
-
Make certain that the load is centered on the saddle.
-
Place the pump handle over the release valve and turn clockwise to close.
-
Insert the handle into the handle socket and pump to raise the load to the desired height.
-
ALWAYS support load with jack stands. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity (not included) beneath the vehicle at locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. DO NOT Get under the vehicle without jack stands. Jacks are not designed to maintain heavy loads for long periods. DO NOT attempt to put jack stands simultaneously under both ends of the vehicle or one side of the vehicle.
NOTE: When using two jack stands, they must be at the same height. -
SLOWLY turn the release valve counterclockwise to lower the vehicle onto the jack stands and remove the jack.
CAUTION: NEVER MOVE JACK WHEN THE HANDLE IS IN THE OPERATING LEVER OR THE VALVE SLEEVE. DAMAGE TO THE PUMPING UNIT MAY OCCUR.
To lower:
- Remove all tools, parts, etc. from under the vehicle.
- Position the saddle under the lifting point. Place the pump handle over the release valve and turn clockwise to close the valve release screw, and pump the upper/lower handle to raise the vehicle slightly above the saddle(s) of the jack stands. Then, collapse and remove the jack stand(s).
- SLOWLY turn the release valve counterclockwise with the handle just enough to allow a controlled descent of the vehicle onto the ground. (Never more than two full turns).
- Lower the jack completely. Then, store in a safe, dry location out of reach of children.
