OPERATION
Lifting
WARNING: Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specied by the vehicle manufacturer.
1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for lifting. Engage the emergency brake and chock each
unlifted wheel in both directions to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
2. Locate and close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until rm resistance is felt.
3. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle. Center jack saddle
under lift point.
4. Verify lift point then use handle pump to contact lift point. To lift, pump handle until load reaches desired height.
5. Transfer the load to appropriately rated jack stands.
WARNING: Never work on, under or around a load supported only by a hydraulic jack.
WARNING: Overloading may cause hydraulic system failure.
Lowering
WARNING: Clear all tools and personnel before lowering vehicle. The more you turn the release valve (handle)
counter-clockwise, the faster the load will come down. Maintain control of the rate of speed at which the load
lowers at all times.
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.
2. Remove jack stands.
3. Slowly turn the release valve (handle) counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the malfunctioning jack and then the jack stands.
c. Lower the vehicle using the functioning jack.
4. After removing jack from under the vehicle, push saddle down to reduce ram exposure to rust and contamination.
MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: Use only quality grade hydraulic jack uid. Avoid mixing different types of uid and never use brake uid,
turbine oil, transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid can cause failure of the jack and the potential for
sudden and immediate loss of load. Hein-Werner hydraulic jack oil HW93291 or equivalent is recommended.
Adding Fluid
1. Lower saddle fully.
2. Set jack in its upright, level position.
3. Locate and remove air vent screw.
4. Fill with uid until ~3/16" above inner cylinder as seen from air vent screw hole.
5. Reinstall air vent screw.
