Operating Instructions

Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before setting up or use of this product.

Bleeding
IMPORTANT! Before first use, check for proper hydraulic fluid level in the Ram. Then thoroughly test the Lift for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Lift appears not to be working properly, it may be necessary to bleed its hydraulic system of excess air.

1. Have an assistant hold the Release Pedal down.
2. Pump the Foot Pedal quickly several times.
3. Test the Lift several times for proper operation before attempting to lift a load. If the Lift still does not appear to be working properly after bleeding, do not use the Lift until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician.

Lifting
WARNING! Set Lift and vehicle on a flat, level, hard, ground surface safely away from oncoming traffic. Turn off the vehicle’s engine. Also, place the vehicle’s transmission in  PARK” (if automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual). Set the vehicle’s emergency brake. Then, block the wheels that are not being lifted.

1. Determine the wheel width of the vehicle, and adjust the Wheel Bracket supports to match that width. Lock them in place using the Width Pins.
   WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Adjust them so that they are equally distant from the center of the Lift, or else the Lift will be unstable and might tip.

2. Examine the bottom of each vehicle wheel that is touching the floor. Set the depth of both Wheel Brackets to be slightly larger than that distance by adjusting the Wheel Bracket Rods.

3. Press the Release Pedal to lower the Lift. Once the Lift is fully lowered, release the Release Pedal.

4. Use the vehicle’s steering to straighten its wheels. Use wheel chocks (sold separately) to block the wheels on the opposite side of the vehicle.

5. Press the fronts of the Wheel Brackets straight against the fronts of the vehicle’s wheels. Push the Wheel Brackets under the wheels until both wheels rest in the center of the Wheel Bracket.

6. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH: Place the two Safety Lock Levers in the closed, locked position to enable the locking mechanism. Refer to Components on page 8.

7. WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH: Use tie-down straps (sold separately) to secure the load to the Tie-Down Bracket. Hold the Handle and pump the Foot Pedal. Use smooth, full strokes for best results.

8. Raise the vehicle to the desired height. As the load is lifted the locking mechanism will automatically engage to lock the Lift Arm in one of three positions.

9. Make sure the Lift Arm is locked in one of the three available positions before working on the vehicle.

Lowering

1. Remove all tools, parts, etc. from under the vehicle.
2. Pump the Foot Pedal slightly to remove weight from the locking mechanism.
3. Place the two Safety Lock Levers in the horizontal, unlocked position to disengage the locking mechanism. Refer to Components on page 8.
4. Keep clear while pressing the Release Pedal slowly to lower the vehicle.
5. Once the Lift is completely lowered, remove the tie-down straps and remove the Lift from under the vehicle.
6. When not in use, store the Lift in a safe, dry location out of reach of children.

Maintenance and Servicing

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.
WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication

1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Lift. Check for:
   • broken, cracked, or bent parts
   • loose or missing parts
   • any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
   If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
   Do not use damaged equipment.

2. Before each use, thoroughly test the Lift for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Lift appears not to be working properly, follow the Bleeding instructions on page 9.

3. Change the hydraulic fluid at least once every three years:
   a. With the Lift fully lowered, remove the Fluid Fill Plug on the side of the Ram housing.
   b. With assistance, tip the Lift to allow the old hydraulic fluid to drain out of the Ram housing completely, and dispose of the old hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
   c. With the Lift upright, completely fill the Ram housing with a high-quality hydraulic fluid (not included) until the fluid just begins to run out of the Fluid Fill Hole.
   d. Then reinstall the Fluid Fill Plug.

4. Clean with a clean cloth with a detergent or mild solvent. Store the Lift in a safe, dry location out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Use caution when troubleshooting a malfunctioning jack.
Stay well clear of the supported load. Completely resolve all problems before use.
If the solutions presented in the Troubleshooting guide do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician
inspect and repair the jack before use. After the jack is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising
it and lowering it fully, checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING THE JACK TO OPERATION.
DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING JACK!

POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS| PROBABLE SOLUTION
(Make certain that the jack is not supporting a load while attempting a solution.)
