OPERATION
Raising the Ram Plunger
1. Assemble handle, ensure that spring clips align with slots.
2. Place vehicle in park, with emergency brake on and wheel securely chocked to prevent inadvertent vehicle
movement.
3. Locate and close release valve by turning handle clockwise until rm resistance is felt to further thread
engagement.
4. Verify lift point, center jack saddle under lift point.
5. Squeeze the lift control valve or insert handle into handle sleeve and pump to contact lift point. To lift, continue
pumping until load reaches desired height. DO NOT OPERATE BY AIR AND BY HAND PUMPING AT THE SAME
TIME.
6. Immediately transfer the lifted load to a pair of appropriately rated jack stands.
NOTICE: Use the provided Pump Handle. The handle furnished with this jack will safely engage the release valve
and operate the Handle Sleeve. If handle is worn, operates abnormally, or will not positively engage the release
valve, STOP, discontinue use of the jack until a factory replacement handle can be acquired.
NOTICE: Do not use extensions on air hose or operating handle.
Lowering
WARNING: Clear all tools and personnel before lowering load. Open release valve slowly. The further handle
is turned counter-clockwise, the faster the load will descend. Maintain control of the load at all times.
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands, then remove jack stands.
2. Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands, remove the affected jack and then the stands.
c. Lower the load.
3. After removing jack from under the load, push ram and handle sleeve down to reduce exposure to rust and
contamination.
