4. Pump the Handle until the top of the
Jack's Saddle has nearly reached the
vehicle lifting point.
Note: The Jack should be positioned at
90° to the vehicle's lifting point to
ensure the Jack's Saddle and vehicle
lifting point are in alignment. If not,
reposition the Jack before lifting the
vehicle.
5. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle of
the Jack. Use smooth, full strokes for
best results.
6. Once the vehicle is raised, slide a
jack stand of appropriate capacity
(not included) under the proper lifting
point referred to in the vehicle own-
er's manual. If using two jack stands,
position them at the same point on
each side of the vehicle.
7. Center the vehicle's lifting point(s) on
the saddle of the jack stand(s). Set
the jack stand(s) according to the
manufacturer's instructions, making
sure that they lock securely into posi-
tion.
Note: if using two jack stands they
must be at the same height.
8. Slowly turn the Release Screw
terclockwise to lower the vehicle onto
the saddle(s) of the jack stand(s).
Then, turn the valve Release Screw
firmly clockwise to close it.
9. While standing safely aside, gently
rock the vehicle to determine if it is
stable on the jack stand(s). If it is
not, raise the vehicle, and reposi-
tion the jack stand(s). WARNING!
When performing this procedure
be prepared and stand clear of the
vehicle, as the vehicle can fall off
the jack stand(s) causing personal
injury and/or property damage.
