3. Place the jack's base plate securely on a firm, level, and dry surface with the steel standard (column)
pointing vertical.
4. Lift the reversing latch until it locks in the "UP" position.
5. Grasp the handle or the handle socket and raise the lifting mechanism until the nose is completely and
securely under the load.
6. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands. Carefully pump the handle up and down to raise the load. Do not
use an extension on the handle.
• The load will be raised on each DOWN stroke of the handle.
• Watch the load and the jack carefully. Stop jacking if either one starts to move. Do not continue raising the
load unless it is safe to do so. When safe, stabilize and block the load.
7. When the load is raised to the desired height, place the handle in the upright position against the steel
standard (column).
8. Block the load securely with jack stands.
9. Lower the load onto the jack stands.
TO LOWER A LOAD
1. The jack must have a load on it (110 pounds or more) to lower step-by-step. Otherwise, the lifting
mechanism will slide down to the base plate, "dropping" your load.
2. Before you move the reversing latch down, keep the handle in the upright position against the steel
standard (column).
3. Move the reversing latch to the DOWN position.
• Taking all necessary precautions, with the load on the jack and ensuring the handle is in the full upright
position, trip the reversing latch (17) so that it's in the "DOWN" position (i.e. the indentation on the latch)
becomes disengaged from the notch on the reversing switch.
4. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands. Carefully pump the handle up and down to begin lowering the
load.
5. The load will be lowered on each UP stroke of the handle.
Important! The jack must be loaded with a minimum of 110lbs to lower step by step, otherwise the lifting nose
(large runner) will drop.
DANGER: Lowering the load can be dangerous. Keep your head clear of the path
of the handle. During lowering, the weight of the load pushes UP against the Jack's
handle. If your hands slip off the handle, or if the handle is horizontal when you move
the reversing latch, it may move up very quickly. If your head is in the handle's travel
path, it could strike you, causing serious injury or death.
Important!
1. Do not use extensions on the handle.
2. Always keep a firm hold on the handle.
