Product Manual

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

If you use and maintain your equipment properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the

maintenance instructions carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never perform

any maintenance on the equipment while it is under a load.

Inspection

You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all

components function before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum

product performance.

Binding

If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to lower

the load safely to the ground. After un-binding; clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working

properly. Rusty components, dirt, or worn parts can be causes of binding Clean and lubricate the

equipment as indicated in the lubrication section. Test the equipment by lifting without a load. If the

binding continues, contact Customer Service.

Cleaning

If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser

to clean the equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant.

Lubrication

This equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the equipment without proper

lubrication will result in poor performance and damage to the equipment. Some parts in this

equipment are not self-lubricating inspect the equipment before use and lubricate when necessary.

After cleaning, lubricate the equipment using light penetrating oil or lubricating spray.

-Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.

-For light duty use, lubrication is needed once a month.

-For heavy and constant use, lubrication is recommended every week.

-NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!

Rust Prevention:

-Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or

corrosion.

Without a load lift the equipment as high as it goes and look under and behind the lifting points. If

signs of rust are visible clean as needed.

How the Equipment Operates

With release valve closed, an upward stroke of the jack handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into

the plunger cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the plunger

cavity. A downward stroke of the jack handle releases oil into the cylinder, which forces the ram out.

This raises the saddle. When the ram reaches maximum extension, oil is bypassed back into the

reservoir to prevent an over extended ram stroke and possible damage to the jack. Opening the

release valve allows oil to flow back into reservoir. This releases hydraulic pressure on the ram,

which results in lowering the saddle.

Storing the Jack

1. Lower to the lowest resting position.

2. Place the handle in the resting position.

3. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.

Note: If the equipment is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to

ensure he equipment stays in good working condition.
