OPERATION
(cont.)
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.
2. Remove jack stands carefully.
3. Turn handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the malfunctioning jack and then the jack stands.
c. Use the functioning jack to lower the vehicle.
4. After removing jack from under the vehicle, fully lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to rust and contamination.

MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Use premium quality hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid,
turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the
potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Remove vent srew.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall vent screw.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove vent screw.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
NOTICE: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local environmental regulations.
3. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall vent screw.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.
NOTICE: Do not use sandpaper or abrasive material on ram and pump piston surfaces.
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.
