INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose or missing
parts. Any jack which appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED
FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs are made.
SETUP (Refer to page 6 to identify reference numbers)
1. Depress the spring button at the bottom of the (32) handle half and insert it in the (33) lower handle half until the
spring button engages the hole in the lower handle half.
2. Remove the (35) handle set screw from the (36) handle yoke. Install the assembled handle into the (36) handle yoke
making sure the bottom of the handle engages the release valve u-joint (40).
3. Install the (35) handle set screw in the (36) handle yoke and tighten the screw to secure the handle in the yoke.
IMPORTANT:
In most cases the jack should work normally right out of the box but it is not unusual for air to get trapped
in the jack’s hydraulic system during shipping and handling. There are several symptoms of an air trapped hydraulic
system which include only partial incremental pump stroke, jack will not lift load, jack will not sustain load or pumping
feels spongy under load. The following procedure will purge air from the hydraulic system and only needs to be done if
experiencing the above mentioned conditions.
a) The (3) saddle should be in its lowest position. Remove the oil filler plug in the reservoir of the (41) hydraulic
power unit.
b) Look inside the oil fill plug hole. You should be able to see the top of the power unit’s cylinder. The hydraulic
fluid level should be no higher than the top of the cylinder. Correct the fluid level if it is not at the proper height.
CAUTION: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or
transmission oil in the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil, a light turbine oil, Chevron Hydraulic Oil AW ISO 32 or Unocal
Unax AW 150.
