2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating any lifting equipment. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.

  • Read the Manual: Understand all instructions and warnings before operating the jack.
  • Use on Hard, Level Surface: Always use the jack on a hard, level surface capable of supporting the load. Avoid soft ground or inclines.
  • Use Jack Stands: This floor jack is a lifting device only. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with appropriate jack stands. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a floor jack.
  • Check Capacity: Do not exceed the rated capacity of 3 tons (6600 lbs).
  • Center the Load: Ensure the load is centered on the jack saddle. Off-center loads can cause instability.
  • Vehicle Brakes: Engage the vehicle's parking brake and block the wheels that are not being lifted.
  • Clear Area: Keep hands, feet, and other body parts clear of moving parts and the vehicle during lifting and lowering.
  • Inspect Before Use: Before each use, inspect the jack for any signs of damage, leaks, or wear. Do not use if damaged.
  • Proper Lowering: Lower the vehicle slowly and in a controlled manner.
  • Meets Standards: This product meets ANSI/ASME PASE safety standards.

Before initial use, it is recommended to bleed any air from the hydraulic system. To do this, open the release valve by turning the handle counter-clockwise. Pump the handle several times to purge air, then close the valve by turning it clockwise.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective vehicle lifting:

  1. Prepare 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.
  2. Position Jack: Locate the vehicle's designated lifting points (refer to your vehicle's owner's manual). Position the jack so the saddle is directly under the lifting point. The low-profile design (3-15/16" min. lifting height) allows access under low-clearance vehicles.
  3. Close Release Valve: Turn the jack handle clockwise until it is fully closed and cannot turn further. This prepares the jack for lifting.
  4. Lift Vehicle: Pump the handle up and down to raise the vehicle to the desired height. The dual piston quick lift pump allows for efficient lifting.
  5. Secure with Jack Stands: Once the vehicle is at the desired height, immediately place appropriately rated jack stands under the vehicle's designated support points. Slowly lower the vehicle onto the jack stands by gently turning the handle counter-clockwise. Ensure the vehicle is stable on the jack stands before performing any work.
  6. Lower Vehicle: When ready to lower the vehicle, ensure the area is clear. Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise. The saddle will drop slowly and automatically. Once fully lowered, remove the jack.

  • Cleaning: Keep the jack clean and free of dirt, grease, and debris. Wipe down the hydraulic ram and other moving parts after each use.
  • Lubrication: Periodically lubricate all moving parts, including pivot points and wheels, with a light machine oil.
  • Hydraulic Fluid: Check the hydraulic fluid level periodically. If low, refill with a high-quality hydraulic jack oil. Do not use brake fluid or other non-specified fluids.
  • Storage: Store the jack in a clean, dry place with the ram fully retracted to prevent corrosion and extend seal life.
