Operation
Read ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages,
refer to Parts List and Diagram on page 6.
Lifting a Load
1. Place the Jack on a stable area to
prevent shifting or slipping.
2. With the Reversing Lever (10) in the down
position, move the Lifting Arm (1) to the desired
position on the Steel Rail (2) and place the Lifting
Arm completely under the object to be lifted.
Note: When the Reversing Lever is in the down
position and there is no load on the Jack, the
ratcheting mechanism allows the Lifting Arm to
move freely up or down on the Steel Rail.
3. To raise the load, pull up on the Reversing
Lever until the notch on the Lever engages
the protrusion on the Reversing Latch (11),
locking it in the up position. See Figure A.
4. Slowly pump the Handle (4) to raise the
load. Always keep a firm grip on the
Handle while operating the Jack.
5. After the load is raised to the desired height, insert
a Grade 5, 1/2" bolt (sold separately) through
the hole in the Steel Rail immediately below the
lifting mechanism as a safety precaution.
WARNING! Dynamic loading may under certain
circumstances create a situation where the actual
weight being held or lifted is far in excess of Jack or
bolt capacity. DO NOT drop weight onto the Lifting
Arm, or allow sudden motion of the Lifting Arm, as this
may shear the 1/2" bolt or cause the Jack to fail.
6. Insert additional supports to make sure the load is
properly supported at the lift point to prevent shifting.
