Assembly
Always secure the handle into the handle sleeve with the bolt provided. Tighten securely to prevent accidental
removal of handle while in use.
Before Use
1.
Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Omega Technical Service (888) 332-6419.
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, turn the release valve (handle knob):
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 turn from the closed position. This is the ‘
OPen
’ release valve
position used to
lower
the saddle.
4. With saddle fully lowered, locate and remove cover plate, then remove the vent screw. Check oil level. Proper
oil level will vary from just covering the ram cylinder to 3/16" above it as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall the
vent screw.
5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Unlock the handle by pulling up on the handle position lock lever and rotating lever
clockwise until it rests upon the lever bracket as seen below in Figure 1. Pump the handle or use the foot pedal
to 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 Omega authorized replacement parts
only. The foot pedal is for positioning the unloaded saddle to contact the lift point, at which time the handle must
be used to raise the load.
