PREPARATION
Assembly
1. Assemble the two-piece handle with provided bolt.
2. Insert handle into the handle sleeve. Tighten the bolt on handle sleeve to prevent accidental removal of handle
while in use.
WARNING:
Do not lift or carry jack by handle. Handle could dislodge and jack fall, resulting in possible injury
or property damage.
Before Use
1. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Blackhawk Tech Service (816) 891-6390.
2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, locate and turn the release valve (handle):
a.
Clockwise
until firm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘
CLOSED
’ release valve position used to
raise
the saddle.
b.
Counter-clockwise
, but no more than 1/2 turn from the closed position. This is the ‘
OPEN
’ release valve position
used to
lower
the saddle.
4. With saddle fully lowered, and release valve closed, pump the operating handle. If lift arm responds immediately,
jack is ready for use. If jack does not respond, follow
Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air
procedure below.
5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded saddle throughout the lifting range before putting into
service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with authorized
replacement parts only.
Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air
With the release valve in the OPEN position (step 3b.) and with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil filler
plug. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir.
Reinstall the oil filler plug.
