The use of portable automotive lifting devices is subject to certain
hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but
only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It
is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in
the use and operation of equipment who are careful, competent,

The bottom of the lifting tube includes a hex head bolt which
must be backed off so the minor diameter of the jack ram can slide

on the floor. Slide the lifting tube over the ram and secure them in
place by tightening the hex head bolt.
2.
A detent pin is connected to the top of the lifting column by way
of a wire lanyard. Install the detent pin in the hole on the telescopic
saddle tube closest to the saddle. Allow the exposed ends of the
detent pin to rest on the lifting tube.
3. Sometimes air gets trapped in the hydraulic system during
shipment. An air bound hydraulic system feels spongy when
pumped and sometimes the jack will not pump in full incremental
strokes.
