KENNEDY
Trolley Jacks are designed to help you work safely and efficiently.
Lifting equipment can be dangerous if the correct operating and maintenance
procedures are not followed. Operating instructions and basic safety procedures are
SAFETY GUIDELINES
as follows:
l Read, study and understand all warnings and operating instructions before use.
l This jack is designed for use only on hard, level surfaces capable of sustaining the
load.
l Never exceed the rated load capacity or tamper with the factory set overload valve.
l Always use on specified jacking points, on a level surface and with a solid
foundation.
l Always engage the handbrake before the vehicle is lifted to prevent wheel
movement.
l Centre load on jack saddle before lifting.
l Always work under a lifted load with an
additional means of support i.e. correctly
rated axle stands. This is a lifting device only.
l Never lift a car when somebody is under it.
l Never modify the jack in any way.
l Keep clothing and body parts clear of the jack
hinge and ground contact area when lifting or
lowering the load.
l Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

This piece is here for shipping purposes only.
2. Using the hexagonal bolt provided, secure and fasten the two pump
handle poles together.
3. Unfasten the screw located in the handle socket.
4. Place the completed pump handle into the handle socket.
5. Secure the handle in place by tightening the screw in the handle
socket.
WARNING! Inspect the Trolley Jack before use for damage. If damaged
remove from service and get a qualified engineer to repair it.
Bleed the hydraulic system of air before using the
jack for the first time (see bleeding the system).
1. Make sure the jack and vehicle are on a hard surface.
2. Always set the vehicle parking brake and block the wheels.
3. Check the vehicle owner's manual to locate the jack points.
4. Position the jack under the vehicle so that the lifting saddle will be
centred on a specified jacking point.
5. To engage piston pressure, turn the pump handle clockwise.
6. Pump the handle up and down to raise the load.
7. Once the load has been raised to the required height, use an
additional support (i.e. correctly rated jack stands) before continuing
work.
8. To lower the vehicle, turn the pump handle clockwise. Pump the
handle to lift vehicle off jack stands. Remove the jack stands. Turn
the pump handle counterclockwise, this will turn the release valve.
The speed at which the vehicle is lowered can be controlled by how
MAINTENANCE
quickly the release valve is turned.
We recommend that maintenance is carried out on the
Trolley Jack on a monthly basis to keep it operational.
1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light
oil.
2. Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
3. Check and maintain the ram oil level.
4. Check the ram every 3 months for any sign of rust or corrosion.
For spare parts or servicing please contact your nearest agent. Remember to quote tool model number and spare part number when ordering spares.
The use of other than genuine Kennedy replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool performance and increased maintenance.
When disposing of components, etc. ensure that relevant environmental procedures are carried out.

SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY
Clean as needed and wipe with an oiled cloth. When not in use
always keep the saddle and ram in the fully lowered position.
5. Visually inspect for cracked welds, damaged, loose, missing parts or
hydraulic oil leaks.
6. You should always inspect the Trolley Jack immediately if it has
been subjected to abnormal load or shock.
If the Trolley Jack is found to have been damaged in any way,
worn or operates abnormally in any way it should be removed
OPERATE
from service until repaired by an authorised person.
Owners and operators should be aware that repair of this
product may require specialised equipment.
Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as
they can damage the seals. Always use a medium grade
REFILLING OIL RESERVOIR
Hydraulic Oil.
1. Turn the release valve counterclockwise to allow the ram to fully
retract.
2. With the jack in the level position, remove the rubber oil fill plug.
Stand the jack in a vertical position with the handle socket down.
The oil should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. If not, add
more clean hydraulic jack oil until level with the bottom of the fill
hole.
3. Replace rubber oil fill plug.
4. Check that the Trolley Jack is fully operational and bleed air from
system as required.
1. Turn the release valve counterclockwise no more than one complete
turn.
3. Pump the handle several times to force out any air.
2. Push the rubber oil fill plug to one side.
4. Turn the release valve clockwise until it can no longer be turned.
5. Replace the rubber oil fill plug back in position.
Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will
