5. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your VEVOR Floor Jack for use:

1. Connect the Handle:

   

   Connect the two pieces of the handle together. Insert the assembled handle into the socket on the jack. Tighten the nut securely to ensure the handle is firmly attached.
2. Purge Air (Initial Use): Before first use, or if the jack has been stored for a long time, it's recommended to purge any air from the hydraulic system.
   • Turn the handle counter-clockwise to fully open the release valve.
   • Pump the handle rapidly several times.
   • Turn the handle clockwise to close the release valve. The jack should now be ready for operation.

6. Operating Instructions

Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific lifting points and procedures.

1. Prepare the Vehicle:
   • Park the vehicle on a hard, level surface.
   • Engage the parking brake.
   • Place the transmission in "Park" (automatic) or a low gear (manual).
   • Block the wheels that are not being lifted to prevent accidental movement.
2. Close the Release Valve:

   

   Twist the handle clockwise until it is in the tightest position. This closes the release valve and prepares the jack for lifting.
3. Position the Jack:

   

   Roll the jack under the vehicle and position the rubber saddle directly under the manufacturer's recommended lifting point. Ensure the saddle is centered and stable.
4. Lift the Vehicle:

   

   Pump the handle up and down with full strokes to raise the vehicle to the desired height. Lift only high enough to perform the necessary work.
5. Secure with Jack Stands:

   IMPORTANT: Immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under the vehicle's frame or designated support points. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a floor jack.

   Once the vehicle is at the desired height, carefully lower it onto the jack stands by slowly turning the handle counter-clockwise to open the release valve. Ensure the vehicle is securely resting on the jack stands before proceeding.
6. Lower the Vehicle:

   

   After completing work and removing jack stands, ensure no one is under the vehicle. Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise to open the release valve. The vehicle will lower slowly and automatically. Once fully lowered, remove the jack.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your floor jack.

• Lubrication: Periodically lubricate all moving parts, including the pivot points and wheels, with light machine oil.
• Hydraulic Fluid: Check the hydraulic fluid level every few months. If low, replenish with high-quality hydraulic jack oil. Do not use brake fluid or other non-approved fluids.
• Cleaning: Keep the jack clean from dirt, grease, and corrosive materials. Wipe down the ram and pump mechanism after each use.
• Inspection: Before each use, inspect the jack for any signs of damage, leaks, or wear. Check for loose bolts, bent components, or cracks. Do not use a damaged jack.
• Storage: Store the jack in a clean, dry place with the ram fully retracted to prevent corrosion and extend seal life.

8. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

If problems persist, contact VEVOR customer support.

9. User Tips

• Break-in Period: For new jacks, perform a few full lift and lower cycles without a load to ensure proper lubrication and air purging.
• Saddle Pad: Always use the rubber saddle pad to protect the vehicle's chassis and prevent slipping.
• Handle Storage: The two-piece handle design allows for compact storage. Disassemble it when not in use to save space.
• Low Profile Advantage: Take advantage of the jack's low profile design (as low as 2.9 inches) to easily access lifting points on sports cars and modified vehicles.
