Lifting
WARNING: Park vehicle on a flat, level, solid, surface safely away from oncoming traffic. Turn off the
vehicle’s engine. Place the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK” (if automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual).
Set the vehicle’s emergency brake. Then chock the wheels that are not being lifted.
1. Slowly twist the Handle counterclockwise to lower the Jack. Once the Jack is fully lowered, twist the
Handle firmly clockwise.
2. Carefully position the Jack’s Saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point. (See
vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual for location of frame lifting point.)
3. Pump the Handle until the top of the Saddle has nearly reached the vehicle’s lifting point. Position
the Saddle directly under the vehicle’s lifting point.
4. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle. Use smooth, full strokes.
5. Select matching jack stands (sold separately) of appropriate capacity. Set the jack stands to the same
height according to the manufacturer’s instructions, making sure they lock securely into position.
6. Position the jack stands’ saddles under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended support points.
WARNING! Ensure that the vehicle support points are fully seated in the saddles of both jack stands. Use a
matched pair of jack stands per vehicle to support one end only.
7. Slowly twist the Handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle onto the jack stands’ saddles.
8. Once the vehicle is fully seated on the jack stands, continue slowly lowering the Jack until it is
completely lowered.
9. Remove the Jack and store safely out of the way.
Lowering
1. Carefully remove all tools, parts, etc., from under the vehicle.
2. Position the Jack’s Saddle under the lifting point. Turn the Handle firmly clockwise and raise vehicle high
enough to clear the jack stands.
3. Carefully remove the jack stands.
4. Slowly turn the Handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle onto the ground.
5. Lower the Jack completely. Store the Jack indoors out of children’s reach.
