Operation
Warning!! Only operate this Jack on a level, flat, hard surface capable of supporting the
weight of the Jack, the vehicle, and the tools. Use of an uneven or weak surface can cause
damage to the floor, or cause the vehicle to become unstable and potentially fall, causing
serious damage or injury.
Warning!! Consult the vehicle’s manual for the advised lift points. Only use the advised lift
points when using this Jack. Lifting in other areas can cause damage to the vehicle and cause
an unplanned, sudden lowering of the vehicle.
Warning!! Whenever the vehicle is to remain elevated more than momentarily, install
appropriate Jack Stands (not included) under the vehicle. Never work under the vehicle un-
less jack stands have been positioned.
Warning!! Before lifting or lowering a vehicle with the Jack, block each Jack wheel to stop it
from moving. Block the vehicle’s tires that remain on the ground.
Warning!! When raising or lowering the vehicle make sure no people are in the immediate
area.
Warning!! Never exceed the Jack’s maximum capacity of 4500 Lbs.
Warning!! Put the vehicle in gear or park and engage the emergency brake before jacking
the vehicle.
Raising the vehicle.
1. Position the Jack so that the Saddle (#2-1) is at one of the recommended lifting points.
Put shims under each wheel of the Jack. Turn the Lower Handle (#11-7) clockwise to lock
the release valve. Pump the Lower Handle (#11-7) until the Saddle (#2-1) fully engages the
lifting point, then continue to pump the Jack to the needed height.
2. Use jack stands (not included) to secure the vehicle. Use your vehicle’s owner’s manual
to determine the specified points to safely position jack stands.
3. Once the vehicle is safely positioned over the jack stands, slowly turn the Lower
Handle (#11-7) counterclockwise to open the release valve to lower the vehicle onto the jack
stands.
4. To determine if the vehicle is safely up on jack stands, stand away and attempt to gently
rock the vehicle. If it sways and seems unstable, repeat the procedure and re-position the jack
stands. Test again.
5. Completely lower the Jack and remove it from under the vehicle.
Refer to the Assembly Drawing on page 7.
