OPERATION KNOW YOUR JACK BEFORE USE Compare Fig. 3 illustration with your jack BEFORE operation to become familiar with the location of various jack components. • Read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use. • Occasionally during shipment and/or handling air can get trapped in the system, which can interfere with the jacks lifting performance.
OPERATION • Continue to pump the jack handle to lift the vehicle to the desired height. After lifting, immediately support the load with appropriately rated jack stands BEFORE working on the vehicle. !

Ensure that the vehicle support points are fully captured between the outer lugs of both jack stands.
MAINTENANCE MAINTAINING OIL LEVEL ANNUAL INSPECTION Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and Never use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil DTE13M or equivalent. To ensure that it is in optimum condition, annual inspection of the jack at a Sears Service Center is recommended.
