Operating Instructions
- Prepare the Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a hard, level surface. Engage the parking brake and place wheel chocks on the wheels that will remain on the ground.
- Position the Jack: Locate the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting points. Position the jack so the saddle is directly under the lifting point. Ensure the jack's wheels are free to move.
- Lift the Vehicle: Turn the release valve clockwise until it is firmly closed. Pump the jack handle to raise the vehicle to the desired height. Lift only high enough to place jack stands.
- Secure with Jack Stands: Immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under the vehicle's frame or designated support points. Ensure the jack stands are stable and locked.
- Lower onto Jack Stands: Slowly turn the release valve counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle onto the jack stands. Once the vehicle is securely resting on the jack stands, remove the floor jack.
- Lowering Completely: When ready to lower the vehicle completely, reposition the jack under the lifting point, raise the vehicle slightly to remove the jack stands, then slowly turn the release valve counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle to the ground.

Maintenance
- Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts with light grease or oil.
- Hydraulic Oil: Check the hydraulic oil level regularly. To do this, lower the jack completely, remove the oil filler plug, and ensure the oil level is just below the filler hole. Use only high-quality hydraulic jack oil.
- Cleaning: Keep the jack clean from dirt, grease, and corrosive materials.
- Storage: Store the jack in its carrying case in a dry, protected area when not in use. Ensure the jack is fully lowered before storage.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the jack for any damage, leaks, or loose parts. Do not use a damaged jack.
