IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
The use of a vehicle jack has inherent dangers, to avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, make sure you are fully aware
of the operating instructions for this product. Follow the recommendations in the vehicle owners manual for jacking of your vehicle
prior to lifting the vehicle. Do not exceed maximum lifting capacity of this jack. This jack is intended for automotive use only. Be aware
that large or heavy vehicles may exceed jack’s stated capacity. Check vehicle owners manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer. Do
not use for any other purpose except the raising and lowering of vehicles. Never use to raise any structure or building. Do not lift any
human load and never ride on jack.
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLING JACK
Unpacking Carton
Place carton in a clear, open area such as garage floor.
Remove jack and handle from carton. Assemble handle by
inserting the upper tube into the lower tube.
Handle - Handle Wrench
With the hydraulic jack sitting on its base on a flat surface,
place handle over release valve. Turn handle slowly
clockwise until firm DO NOT over tighten. Remove
handle from release valve and slide handle into handle
operating lever.
Testing Handle Operation
Briefly test hydraulic jack operation as follows BEFORE
using to lift any load. With handle on the release valve turning
clockwise or counter-clockwise allows jack to be raised or
lowered. To raise hydraulic jack, turn handle completely
clockwise until it stops. Do not force or tighten beyond this
point. Take handle from release valve and place in handle
operating lever, pump handle a few times to raise hydraulic
jack about halfway. If hydraulic jack does not begin to rise
after a few pumps, check to make sure the release valve is
tight or refer to maintainance section on how to purge the
jack. With hydraulic jack raised, place handle on release
valve turn handle slowly counter-clockwise to lower jack.
A normal hissing sound may be heard as jack lowers and
pressure in hydraulic cylinder is released.
Purging Air from the hydraulic system
Note:
Before first use, the hydraulic system may need to be purged. Some air may intrude in the hydraulic system caused by
movement during shipping. Air bubbles can become trapped inside the hydraulic system, thereby reducing the efficiency of the jack.
Purging air from the system if efficiency drops:
1.) Place the handle on the release valve, turn the handle in a counter-clockwise direction two full turns from the closed position.
2.) Take handle from release valve and place in the handle operating lever, pump the handle 20 times.
3) Place the handle on the release valve and turn the handle in a clockwise direction until tight.
4.) Take handle from release valve and place in the handle operating lever, pump the handle until the ram raises to the
maximum height.
Note:
If the condition remains, repeat steps 1 through 4 until all the air is purged from the system.
