OPERATION
Lifting
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used. Lift only on area of the
vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
Note: The jack is equipped with handle position lock. To adjust the handle, release lock device by pulling the lever
up, then back until lever is locked into place.
1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for lifting. Engage the emergency brake and chock
each unlifted wheel in both directions to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
2. Locate and close the release valve by turning the release valve knob clockwise until firm resistance is felt.
3. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle. Center jack
saddle under lift point.
4. Verify lift point, then pump handle or foot pedal to contact lift point. To lift, pump handle or squeeze lift control valve
(models 22041C, 22051C & 22101C) until load reaches desired height. Never use foot pedal to raise load.
5. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
NEVER use hydraulic jack as a stand alone device! ALWAYS transfer the lifted load IMMEDIATELY to a
pair of appropriately rated jack stands. Use one pair of jack stands per vehicle. Rated capacity is per
pair only! Do not exceed rated capacity.
Lowering
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load.
Slowly open the release valve! The more
you turn the release valve knob counter-clockwise, the faster the load will come down. Maintain control
of the rate of speed at which the load lowers at all times!
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.
2. Remove jack stands carefully. ( always used in pairs).
3. Slowly turn the release valve knob counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the malfunctioning jack and then the jack stands.
c. Use the functioning jack to lower the vehicle.
4. After removing jack from under the vehicle, fully lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.
