TO LOWER:
1. Remove all tools, parts, etc. from under the vehicle.
2. Positionthesaddleundertheliftingpoint.TurntheHandlermlyclockwisetoclosethevalverelease
screw, and pump the upper/lower handle to raise the vehicle slightly above the saddle(s) of the jack
stands. Then, collapse and remove jack stand(s).
3. SLOWLY turn the release valve counterclockwise with the handle just enough to allow controlled
descent of the vehicle onto the ground. (Never more than two full turns).
4. Lower the jack completely. Then, store in a safe, dry location out of reach of children.
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any
restriction due to dirt, rust, etc. can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks, damaging
the internal components. The following steps are designed to keep the jack maintained and operational.
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the jack.
Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or missing
parts, and any condition that may affect the proper
operation of the product. Any jack that appears damaged
in anyway must be removed from service. Have the
problem corrected before further use. DO NOT use
damaged equipment.
2. When jack is not in use, ram and pump piston should be in
fully down position to keep their machined surfaces free
from corrosion.
3. Keep jack clean and well lubricated at points illustrated
ingure4.
4. Forbestresults,useonlynon-detergent22weighthydraulicjackoilforrells.Checkuidlevelwith
jack in fully down position. Fluid level should cover the top of the piston.
5. Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three years:
a.
With the jack fully lowered, remove both screws on the end of the cover plate that is closer to the saddle.
Swing cover plate open.

c. Remove the oil with a pump or turn the unit upside down
and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in accordance with
local regulations.
c. With the jack upright, add a high quality hydraulic oil
(not included) until
the oil level inside the cylinder
just covers the top of the piston. Be VERY CAREFUL
not to allow dirt or foreign matter into the system.

e. Follow instruction for bleeding trapped air on page 4.
f. Clean with a clean cloth using a detergent or mild solvent.
Then, store the jack in a safe, dry location with the ram and
pump piston in fully down position. Keep out of reach of children
and other non-authorized people.
