DANGER
DO NOT USE THE JACK TO SUPPORT OR STABILIZE A LOAD. Using the jack to support or
stabilize a load may result in unexpected movement and result in serious injury, being crushed and
death. Always securely chock and block (stabilize) the load to be lifted. Never place any part of the
body under a raised load without properly chocking and supporting the load.
Using the jack on curved or tubular vehicle bumpers will result in the vehicle slipping off the jack
and falling, causing serious injury or death. Use the Bumper Lift or Lift-Mate to lift most vehicles
with curved bumpers or plastic bumpers.
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.
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 holding
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.
Raising an inated tire more than 2” (5cm) above the ground or attempting to lift more than one
wheel at a time may result in tip over, unexpected movement and serious injury or death. Always
raise an inated tire less than 2” (5cm) and only one tire at a time.
The jack, while standing vertical and unsupported, may tip over and cause serious injury or
death. Always support the jack or lay it on it’s side when not in use.
This jack will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the jack without proper lubri-
cation will result in poor performance and damage to the jack. The jack is not self-lubricating,
inspect the jack before use and lubricate when necessary.
