2 Door Car Set Up: The race car lifting jacks come with tabs for the front and rear of the car. These tabs are then welded to the chassis allowing the jacks to rest on these tabs to lift the race car. These tabs must be welded to the chassis by a professional welder before you can use the jacks on your race car. Unpack the jacks along with the pump and hoses. The pump should be placed on the same side that the hydraulic couplers are facing on the jacks placing the pump center to the car. (This is generally the left driver side of the race car). Position one of the jacks just in front of the four-link cross member on the main frame rails. Make sure jack is centered on the vehicle so that it makes contact with the welded tabs on the chassis. Position the front jack in line with the welded tabs on the chassis. If using saddles on the front of chassis align the saddles with the left and right frame rails. See page Make sure that the vent is open on the pump for proper operation. It may be left open except while shipping. If you are using the option of the saddles, they are made to fit a 1 5 / 8 chassis tube and should fit on the left and right side of the chassis frame rails and will rotate as the car lifts. Lifting Car: After properly setting up jack system, attach air hose to foot pedal pump (or plug in if electric model). Engage foot peddle to start the lifting of the race car. (This may take a few moments on the initial charge due to the hoses being empty of hydraulic fluid. The system is self- bleeding as any trapped air will be returned to the pump.) Continue engaging the pump until the car is completely raised and the pump begins to slow down (which is clearly detectable by sound.) Using the Ball Valves to lift and lower the car is the best method. Do not open and close the valves fully but use them to regulate the oil flow from the pump by cracking them open slowly. If you have any questions please call or check out our demonstration video at Once the car is completely lifted, move the locking arms into place. Releasing the pressure on the pump will allow the race car to lower into the lock position. With the pressure released, the jacks now become a solid work stand. At this point you can now begin working on the race car. Lowering Car: *NOTE* If using Deltrol valves, the first use of the system will require the setting of the flow control on the Deltrol valve to be completely closed. After the car is completely raised, pull the locking arm out and away on both jacks away from the lock position. Then release the pressure by depressing the foot peddle. Then slowly open the flow control valve in order to achieve the desired drop rate of speed. Once set, lock with small set screws located on the side of the flow control valves. The drop rate will now be consistent each time the system is used. Engage pump in order to lift car off of locking arms. Clear arms away from locking position and engage release on the pump. The car will then lower back to the ground. If you are not using a Deltrol valve on the jack system you will have to control the foot peddle by hand to control the speed of the lowering of your car. Maintenance Lubricate lower base pivot rods periodically with a quality penetrating lubricant. Tighten and inspect nuts and bolts periodically. Inspect hoses and fittings for wear and tear and replace as needed. Check hydraulic fluid level.

3 Warning EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN OPERATING ANY JACK SYSTEM. BE SURE THAT THE JACKS ARE SECURELY IN THE LOCK POSITION BEFORE ATTEMTING ANY WORK ON THE CAR. JACKS ARE TO BE USED SIMULTANEOUSLY AS ONE UNIT. DO NOT USE JACK TO LIFT SIDE OF RACE VEHICLE. KEEP HANDS AND BODY CLEAR OF JACKS UNDERNEATH CAR UNLESS LOCKING ARMS ARE SECURELY IN PLACE. OPERATE JACK SYSTEM ONLY ON A FIRM LEVEL SURFACE AND MAKE SURE RACE CAR IS IN PARK. JACK IS INTENDED FOR RACE CAR USE ONLY NOT ON HIGHWAY MOTOR VEHICLES. LIFTING CAPACITY OF STANDARD JACK SYSTEM IS 3,200 LBS. OVER LOAD OR CARELESS USE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO JACK SYSTEM OR VEHICLE, DESTRUCTION OF JACK SYSTEM, OR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERSON WHO IS WORKING WITH THE CAR JACK SYSTEM TO INSTALL THEM CORRECTLY ON THE CAR UTILIZING WELDED TABS ON THE CHASSIS. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW TO SAFELY USE THIS JACK SYSTEM, YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL ON THE VEHICAL OR USE IT. DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING. IMPROPERLY INSTALLED JACKS ARE DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, GET HELP OR RETURN THE PRODUCT.

7 You can see here that the coupler is not fully screwed together. This will not allow the jack to work, not allowing the fluid into the jack. Proper Engagement. This shows coupler completely engaged. Jacks will only work properly when couplers are fully screwed together.

8 Do not forget to open the brass vent before using. The vent is closed only for shipping purposes. This is how the hydraulic T and hoses assemble to the foot pump.

9 Valve Assembly This Valve Assembly allows you to lift and lower your car evenly by slowly opening and closing the valves regulating the oil flow through the pump. Check out our demonstration video on how the Valve Assembly works in the link below!

10 This is an option using a deltrol valve to help regulate the flow of hydraulic oil from the pump to control both jacks on lowering. This does not control the jacks going up. This is how the hydraulic T and hoses assemble to the control valve, which then attaches to the foot pump. NOTE: Use thread tape to make sure all fittings are tight and do not leak.

11 Hydraulic Cylinder (Inside Jack) 3 Attach hose coupler to Deltrol Valve. 2 Attach Deltrol Valve to union. 1 Attach union to cylinder through opening in jack. THIS IS AN OPTION This is an illustration showing how to set up the deltrol valve to the lifting jack. This will give you the ability to control the lifting jacks individually.
