THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS

The use of portable automotive lifting devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only

by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use

and operation of equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualiﬁed in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper

use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading,

off–centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.

METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS

• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.

• Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use jack if damaged, altered, modiﬁed, in poor condition, leaking hydraulic ﬂuid, or

unstable due to loose or missing components. Make corrections before using.

• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as speciﬁed by the vehicle manufacturer.

• User and bystander must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.

• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity. Do not shock load.

• THIS IS A LIFTING DEVICE. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with jack stands capable of sustaining the load before

working on the vehicle.

• Use only on a hard level surface free from obstructions so the jack is free to reposition itself during lifting and lowering

operations.

• Center load on saddle. Be sure setup is stable before working on vehicle.

• Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack.

• Do not use any materials that may serve as risers, spacers or extenders between the stock lifting saddle and the load.

• Do not use any adaptors that replace the stock lifting saddle unless approved or supplied by the jack manufacturer.

• Do not use (or modify) this product for any other purpose than that for which it was designed without consulting the

manufacturer's authorized representative.

• Always lower the jack slowly and carefully.

• Failure to heed these warnings may result in fatal personal injury and/or property damage.

SETUP (CONT.) c) Close the release valve by turning the (32) handle clockwise until it stops. Pump the jack against a load of at least 500 pounds (225 Kgs). After the load is raised to maximum height, slightly turn the (32) handle in a counterclockwise direction so the load is very slowly lowered, while simultaneously and quickly pumping the handle 5 or 6 full incremental pump strokes. After pumping, lower the lift arm to its full rest position. d) Install the oil fill plug.

TROUBLESHOOTING Important: Service jacks are self-contained devices used for lifting, but not sustaining, a partial vehicular load. In accordance with ASME PASE Load Sustaining Test: “A load not less than the rated capacity…shall not lower more than 1/8" (3.18mm) in the first minute, nor a total of .1875" (4.76mm) in 10 minutes.” Lowering within this range is considered normal operation and is NOT a warrantable defect. PROBLEM ACTION 1. Unit will not lift rated load.
