Operating Instructions

Operating the MoJack EZ Max is designed to be simple and efficient:

1. Positioning the Mower: Roll the front wheels of your lawn mower onto the lift's wheel pads. Ensure the mower is centered and stable.
2. Securing the Mower: Use the provided yellow straps to firmly secure the front wheels to the wheel pads. This prevents the mower from shifting during lifting.
3. Lifting the Mower:
   • Manual Operation: Turn the crank handle clockwise to raise the mower.
   • Drill Operation: For faster lifting, attach a variable speed drill to the lift screw and operate it to raise the mower.
   Lift the mower to the desired height, up to a maximum of 24 inches.
4. Engaging Safety Locks: Once the mower is at the desired height, ensure the automatic safety locking system engages. The lift features multiple safety stops for secure operation.
5. Lowering the Mower: To lower the mower, disengage the safety lock by pulling the yellow release handle and slowly turn the crank handle counter-clockwise (or use the drill in reverse) until the mower is fully on the ground.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your lawn mower is crucial for its longevity and performance. The MoJack EZ Max facilitates various maintenance tasks:

• Blade Sharpening/Replacement: With the mower elevated, access to the blades is easy and safe. Regularly sharpen or replace blades for optimal cutting performance.
• Belt Inspection/Replacement: Inspect drive belts and deck belts for wear and tear. Replace as needed.
• Deck Cleaning: Remove accumulated grass clippings and debris from the underside of the mower deck to prevent rust and ensure efficient operation.
• Lubrication: Apply light oil to the lift screw thread periodically to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: The MoJack EZ Max features a space-saving folding design. Remove the quick-release pins to fold the lift flat for convenient storage in tight spaces.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MoJack EZ Max, consider the following common solutions:

• Lift not raising smoothly: Check for obstructions, ensure the lift screw is lubricated, and verify the weight of the mower is within the 450 lb capacity.
• Mower unstable on lift: Re-check that the mower is centered on the wheel pads and that the wheel straps are securely fastened. Ensure the ground surface is level.
• Difficulty engaging safety lock: Ensure the lift is fully extended to a locking position. If the mechanism is stiff, apply a small amount of lubricant.
