PREPARATION
Assembly
Little or no assembly is required. Refer to Figures in the manual for details in understanding the assembly and the
components of your product.
Before Use
1. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt contact your local SFA Companies Representative
or visit www.sfacompanies.com to locate your nearest store.
2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, locate and turn the release valve knob (see Fig 1):
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the 'CLOSED' release valve position used to
raise the saddle plate.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn from the closed position. This is the 'OPEN' release valve position
used to lower the saddle plate.
4. With saddle fully lowered and release valve closed, pump the operating handle. If lift arm responds immediately,
jack is ready for use. If jack does not respond, follow the Bleeding/Venting instructions.
5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded jack throughout the lifting range before putting into
service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with factory
authorized replacement parts only.
Bleeding / Venting Trapped Air
With the release valve in the OPEN position (3b.) and with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil filler
plug. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir.
Reinstall the oil filler plug.
