The jack must have a load of 150 lbs. or more to lower step-by-step. Otherwise, the lifting mechanism will
slide down to the base plate, dropping your load. Ensure all bystanders are clear of the load being lowered.
1. Position the jack under the raised load and raise the stationary load (see Raising a Stationary Load ).
2. Remove blocks from under the load.
3. Be sure the handle is in the upright position clipped to the steel standard bar before lowering the load.
4. Move the reversing latch to the down position.
5. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands. Carefully pump the handle up and down to lower the load.
6. The load will be lowered on each up stroke of the handle (refer to Binding if the jack binds).
Unexpected movement of the jack handle may result in the user being struck causing serious injury
or death. Always keep your head away from and out of the jack handle path of movement.
The jack handle may move rapidly when moving the reversing latch and cause serious injury or
death. Always place the handle against the steel standard bar with the handle clip spring hold-
ing it up before moving the reversing latch. This will prevent the handle from moving up and down
rapidly. Securely hold on to the jack handle so your hands do not slip and ensure the handle is not
in the horizontal position when moving the reversing latch.
Important! During lifting and lowering, the weight of the load pushes up against the jack’s handle.
If your hands slip off the handle, or if the handle is horizontal when you move the reversing latch, it
may move up very quickly.
