Operating Instr uctions
To Raise a Stationary Load: (Do not exceed the maximum load of 4,660 lbs.)
1. When raising a stationary load, immobilize and stabilize the load to prevent it from rolling or shifting.
2. Place the base plate of the jack on a firm, level and dry surface with the steel bar frame in a
vertical position. Use optional foot plate (included) to stabilize jack base as needed.
3. With handle vertical and clipped to steel bar frame, pull the reversing latch into the raise position until
it locks. (see Fig. 2 on next page)
4. Pull the handle away from the steel bar frame. (see Fig. 1)
5. Using the handle, raise the lifting mechanism until the lower clamp is securely under the load.
6. While grasping the handle firmly with both hands, carefully move the handle up and down. As
you push the handle down, the upper climbing pin will disengage, be lifted up one hole, and
then engage into the next hole above. As you raise the handle the lower climbing pin will repeat that
process. The load is lifted on each down stroke of the handle. Maintain controlled grip of the handle
through the entire handle stroke.
7. While raising the load, insure that the load remains stabilized and the jack remains secure and vertical.
8. When the load has been raised to the desired height, secure handle in the vertical position clipping it to
the steel bar frame.
9. Stabilize and immobilize the load before lowering the load onto the blocks.

the maximum clamping force of 750 lbs. If you
exceed this limit, the top clamp could bend or
break, resulting in serious bodily injury and/or

horizontal when you shift the reversing latch, it
may move up very quickly and may result in
serious bodily injury and/or death.
