Clamping or Winching
When using the jack as a winch:
Always use chains or tow straps that have a greater working load than the jack. If a chain or tow
strap breaks while winching, the load could shift or the chain or tow strap could snap back.
When used as a winch, the top clamp-clevis will support up to 5,000 lbs. (2273 kg). Going over
this limit will result in the top clamp-clevis bending or breaking, causing the load to move or the
chain or tow strap to snap back. This will result in serious injury or death.
When using the jack for clamping, the maximum clamping force of the standard top clamp-clevis
is 750 lbs. (340 kg). If you exceed this limit, the standard top clamp-clevis could bend or break,
resulting in serious injury or death.
Clamping
1. Loosen the standard top clamp-clevis bolt.
2. Turn the top clamp-clevis 90° to the steel standard bar, and re-tighten the bolt.
Note: You can connect the top clamp-clevis anywhere along the steel standard bar to use the jack as a
clamp.
3. Operate the jack as you would for raising a load (see Raising a Stationary Load ).
