OPERATION
Lifting
1. Assemble handle, use OIPM illustration as guide,
connect to adequate air source.
2. Secure the load to prevent inadvertent shifting and
movement.
3. Position the jack near desired lift point.
4. Close the release valve by turning the handle mounted
knob, clockwise firmly.
Caution: Use only saddle extenders (if equipped)
provided and recommended by the manufacturer of the
jack. Lift only on the manufacturer's recommended lift
points and in accordance with the published guidelines
in your vehicle owners manual. Always use jack stands
to support the load immediately after lifting.
5. Squeeze the lift control valve until saddle contacts
load. Check to ensure proper saddle/lift point aligment.
To stop, simply release the grip on the lift control
valve.
Important: Never wire, clamp or otherwise disable the
lift control valve to work by any means other than by
using the operators hand.
6. Raise load to desired height, then immediately transfer
the load to appropriately rated support
Lowering
1. Raise load enough to carefully remove jack stands.
2. Slowly turn handle mounted release valve knob,
counter-clockwise, no more than 1/2 turn. If load fails
to lower, carefully transfer the load to another lifting
device and stands. Carefully remove affected jack(s)
and stands. Carefully remove jack, again turning the
release valve, slowly, no more than 1/2 full turn.
Safety Message !
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before
lowering load. Dangerous dynamic shock loads are
created by by quickly opening and closing the release
valve as the load is being lowered. The resulting
overload may cause hydraulic system failure, which
could cause severe personal injury and/or property
damage.
3. After removing jack from under the load, ensure ram is
fully lowered to reduce exposure to rust and
contamination.
MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only a good grade 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 and jack in its upright, level
position, remove oil filler screw.
2. Fill until oil is level with the filler screw hole, re-install
oil filler 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 the oil filler screw.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suit-
able container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance
with local regulations.
3. Fill with good quality jack oil. We recommend Mobil
DTE 13M or equivalent. Reinstall oil filler screw.
Lubrication
1. A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points,
axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure
that wheels, and pump assemblies move freely.
2. When used on a daily basis, air pump should be
internally lubricated before each use. Use only good
quality air tool lubricant. If no inline oiler is used, pour
a teaspoon of air tool oil into the inlet of the air control
valve. Simply operate the jack using the air feature in
order to fully distribute the oil.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of
rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily
cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these
surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with pump piston and
ram fully retracted. For model JSA22D, keep saddle and
adapter in saddle & adapter holder while not in use.
