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.
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.
DANGER:
Lowering the load can be dangerous. Keep your head clear
