OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to raise a vehicle, check vehicle service
manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
1. To raise load: Close release valve tightly (by turning handle
clockwise). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Position jack under load so
that saddle will contact load firmly and load is centered so it
cannot slip. Operate jack handle until saddle approaches the
load. Once again check to see that saddle is correctly positioned.
Raise load to desired height. Place jack stands of appropriate
capacity under the vehicle. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE
WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING JACK STANDS!
Place jack stands at vehicle manufacturer's recommended lift areas
that provide stable support for the raised vehicle.
2. To lower load: Open release valve VERY SLOWLY (by turning
handle counterclockwise). When release valve is opened, saddle
and load will be lowered. Lower the vehicle slowly so as not to
shock load the jack stands. Once repairs are completed, raise
vehicle enough to remove jack stands. Lower vehicle very slowly.
CAUTION: Keep hands or feet away from the hinge mechanism of the
jack.

PROPER STORAGE
It is recommended that the jack be stored in a dry location with all
wheels touching the ground on a relatively level surface.
TROUBLESHOOTING
important: Service jacks are self-contained devices used for lifting,
but not sustaining, a partial vehicular load. In accordance with ASME-
PALD 2005 standard, section 7-4.1.2 Load Sustaining Test: "A load
not less than the rated capacity...shall not lower more than 1/8"
(3.18mm) in the first minute, nor a total of .1875" (4.76mm) in 10
minutes." Lowering within this range is considered normal operation
and is NOT a warrantable defect.
