SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Failure to follow these Setup Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
1. Refer to the exploded view drawing on page 5 to identify jack components.
2. In order to install the handle assembly (#57) in the handle socket (#36), first align the main handle tube with the largest hole in the handle socket and
the lock pin rod with the smaller hole in the handle socket.
3. Make sure the lock pin rod is in the down/lock position before insertion in the handle socket. Once the main handle tube and lock pin rod are aligned
with their respective holes in the handle socket, push the handle assembly in the handle socket so the end of the handle tube engages the release valve
mechanism in the bottom of the handle socket and the lock pin rod engages one of the three (3) locking holes in the frame (#1).
4. Now rotate the "T" handle portion of the handle assembly so it is perfectly aligned with the jack before tightening the bolt (#40), washer (#39), and nut
(#38). Tighten the bolt, washer, and nut so the handle cannot rotate. Disengage the lock pin rod by pulling up on the lever and engaging the lever with the
slot in top of the handle assembly. The handle assembly should be free to pump up and down.
5. In order to check for proper handle assembly alignment with the handle socket, see if the lock pin rod will engage with the three locking holes in the frame.
Also, turn the release valve knob at the top of the handle assembly left and then right to see if the release valve flex shaft in front and below the handle
socket is rotating simultaneously with the turning of the knob.
6. Before Use: Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system.
PURGING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
a. Rotate the knob at the top of the handle assembly in a clockwise direction until tight. Now turn it in a counterclockwise direction two full turns.
b. Activate the foot pump pedal (#37) about 15 times.
c. Rotate the knob at the top of the handle assembly in a clockwise direction until tight.
d. Activate the foot pump until the lift arm is raised to maximum height. You should experience a full pump stroke with each incremental pump of the pedal.
e. Repeat steps "a" through "d" until air is purged from the system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Failure to follow these Operating Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
1. Put vehicle transmission in park or in gear and then apply the emergency brake.
To raise load: Turn the knob at the top of the handle assembly in a clockwise direction until tight. Position the jack under the load. Proceed to pump the
handle or the foot pedal in order to raise the lift arm to the load. As the saddle at the end of the lift arm gets closer to the load, reposition the jack so the
saddle will contact the load firmly and the load is centered on the saddle. Make sure the saddle is correctly positioned. Remember that foot pedal pump
operation is only used to quickly raise the saddle to the load. The handle pump operation of the jack is used to lift the load. Raise the load to the desired
work height. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity at the vehicle manufacturer's recommended support areas that provide stable support for the raised
vehicle. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS! Once jack stands are positioned, turn the knob at
the top of the handle assembly in a counterclockwise direction VERY SLOWLY. Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Inspect the relationship between
the jack stands and load to make sure the setup is stable and safe. If the setup is not stable or safe, follow the preceding steps until corrected.
NOTE. Once the hand pump operation has ceased, the handle assembly can be locked in any of the three (3) handle locking positions. Typically,
the handle locking positions are used for moving the jack around the shop, keeping the handle out of the way or preventing the handle from
being pumped.
2. To lower load: Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise load" section of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in order to raise the load off the jack stands.
Once the load has cleared the jack stands, remove the stands from under the load and away from the work area. Turn the knob at the top of the jack's
handle assembly very slowly in a counterclockwise direction until the load is completely lowered to the ground. Once the jack's lifting saddle has cleared
the load, remove the jack from under the load. CAUTION: Keep hands and feet away from the hinge mechanism of the jack.
