6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: For additional references to the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagrams on pages 11 and IMPORTANT! Make sure to thoroughly test the Hydraulic Jack for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Hydraulic Jack appears not to be working properly, it may be necessary to purge its hydraulic system of excess air. To do so, remove the Oil Fill Plug (3C). Assemble the Upper Handle (6A), Bumper (7A), and Lower Handle (8A) of the Jack. Insert the Lower Handle into the Handle Yoke (12A) and tighten the Handle Yoke Bolt (10A). Turn the Handle Assembly clockwise. Apply pressure to the Saddle (28A), and pump the Handle Assembly slowly several times. The trapped air is pressurized and will be audible when released in this manner. Once purged of air check the Oil Reservoir (22C) and, if necessary, top off the Oil Reservoir with hydraulic oil. Then, replace the Oil Fill Plug. Turn the Handle Assembly counterclockwise slowly to completely lower the Jack. Test the Jack several times for proper operation before attempting to lift a load. If, after purging, the Jack still does not appear to be working properly, do not use the Jack until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician. (See Figures A and C.)

Place the vehicle s transmission in PARK (if automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual). Set the vehicle s emergency brake. Then, block the wheels that are not being lifted. 3. Check to make sure the Jack is fully lowered. If not, assemble the Upper Handle (6A), Bumper (7A), and Lower Handle (8A). Insert the Lower Handle into the Handle Yoke (12A). Then, turn the Lower Handle counterclockwise to lower the Jack. Once the Jack is fully lowered, turn the Handle Assembly firmly clockwise. (See Figure A.) 4. Carefully position the Saddle (1B) of the Hydraulic Jack under the vehicle manufacturer s recommended lifting point. (See vehicle manufacturer s owner s manual for location of seam lifting point when lifting only one wheel and frame lifting points when lifting the entire front or rear end of the vehicle.) 5. Pump the Handle Assembly until the top of the Jack s Saddle (28A) has nearly reached the vehicle lifting point. NOTE: The Jack should be positioned at 90 degrees to the vehicle s lifting point to ensure the Jack s Saddle and lifting point are in alignment. If not, remove and reposition the Jack before lifting the vehicle. (See Figure A.) 6. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle Assembly (6A, 7A, 8A) of the Jack. Use smooth, full strokes for best results. (See Figure A.) 7. Raise the vehicle to just above the minimum height of the Jack Stand. Then, slide the Jack Stand to the proper lifting points referred to in the vehicle owner s manual. Also, if using two Jack Stands, make sure they are on the same point on each side of the vehicle. (See Figure B, next page.) 8. Center the vehicle s lifting point on the Saddle (1B) of the Jack Stand. Pull up on the Saddle of the Jack Stand until it is just below the contact points on the vehicle. Next, insert the Lock Pin (3B) through the Outer Tube (2B) and Saddle to lock the Saddle in place. If using two Jack Stands make sure they are at the same height. (See Figure B.) 9. If using two Jack Stands, turn the Handle Assembly counterclockwise slowly to lower the vehicle onto the Saddles (1B) of the Jack Stands. Do this release slowly until you are familiar with the rate at which the Jack lowers a load. Then, turn the Handle Assembly firmly clockwise. (See Figure B.) 10. If using two Jack Stands, gently rock the vehicle to determine if it is stable on the Jack Stands. If it is not, raise the vehicle, and reposition the Jack Stands. CAUTION! When performing this procedure be prepared and stand clear of the vehicle, as the vehicle can fall off the Jack Stands causing personal injury and/or property damage.

When the repair work to the vehicle is completed, make sure to remove all tools, old vehicle parts, etc. from under the vehicle. 12. Turn the Handle Assembly (6A, 7A, 8A) firmly clockwise, and pump the Handle Assembly to raise the vehicle slightly above the Saddles (1B) of the Jack Stands. Then, collapse the Jack Stands and remove them from under the vehicle. 13. Slowly turn the Handle Assembly (6A, 7A, 8A) counterclockwise (never more than two full turns) to lower the vehicle onto the ground. (See Figure B.) 14. Lower the Hydraulic Jack completely. Then, store the Jack and Jack Stands in a safe, dry location. INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING 1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Hydraulic Jack and Jack Stands. Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or missing Lock Pins, and any condition that may affect the proper operation of the product. If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. 2. Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three years. To do so, with the Hydraulic Jack fully lowered, remove the Oil Fill Plug (3C) on the end of the Base Plate (5C). Tip the Hydraulic Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil to drain out of the oil Reservoir (22C) completely, and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in SKU For technical questions, please call PAGE 8

9 accordance with local regulations. With the Hydraulic Jack upright, completely fill the Reservoir with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included). Then, reinstall the Oil Fill Plug. (See Figures A and C.) 3. Purge the hydraulic system of air occasionally. Occasionally, the Hydraulic Jack will exhibit signs of excessive air in its hydraulic system such as slow response to pumping, a spongy feeling to the pumping action, and a general lack of performance. To purge the hydraulic system of air, remove the Oil Fill Plug (3C). Assemble the Upper Handle (6A), Bumper (7A), and Lower Handle (8A) of the Jack. Insert the Lower Handle into the Handle Yoke (12A) and tighten the Handle Yoke Bolt (10A). Turn the Handle Assembly clockwise. Apply pressure to the Saddle (28A), and pump the Handle Assembly slowly several times. The trapped air is pressurized and will be audible when released in this manner. Once purged of air check the Oil Reservoir (22C) and, if necessary, top off the Oil Reservoir with hydraulic oil. Then, replace the Oil Fill Plug. Turn the Handle Assembly counterclockwise slowly to completely lower the Jack. Test the Jack several times for proper operation before attempting to lift a load. If, after purging, the Jack still does not appear to be working properly, do not use the Jack until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician. (See Figures A and C.) 4. When cleaning, use a clean cloth with a detergent or mild solvent. Then, store the Hydraulic Jack and Jack Stands together in a safe, dry location.
