4. Setup

The Wiltec Farmardom Power Offroad Jack typically comes pre-assembled. Before first use, ensure all components are securely fastened and inspect for any shipping damage.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the jack from its packaging.
2. Inspect: Check all parts for damage or missing components. Ensure the handle is securely attached and the lifting mechanism moves freely along the vertical bar.
3. Lubricate: Apply a light coat of general-purpose grease to the moving parts of the lifting mechanism and the vertical bar to ensure smooth operation.

5. Operating Instructions

Always follow safety instructions before operating the jack.

5.1 Lifting a Load

1. Prepare the Area: Position the vehicle or object on a firm, level surface. Engage parking brakes and block wheels if applicable.
2. Position the Jack: Place the jack's base plate firmly on the ground. Position the lifting nose under a suitable, strong lifting point on the load. Ensure the jack is vertical and stable.
3. Set for Lifting: Ensure the reversing latch is in the "UP" position (typically pushed down towards the base).
4. Lift the Load: Pump the handle up and down. Each downward stroke of the handle will raise the lifting mechanism and the load. Ensure the lifting nose remains securely engaged with the load.
5. Secure the Load: Once the desired height is reached, immediately place appropriate jack stands or other stable supports under the load. Never rely solely on the jack to hold a lifted load.

5.2 Lowering a Load

1. Prepare for Lowering: Ensure the area around the load is clear. If using jack stands, carefully remove them once the jack is ready to take the load again.
2. Set for Lowering: Move the reversing latch to the "DOWN" position (typically pulled up away from the base).
3. Lower the Load: Slowly and carefully pump the handle up and down. Each downward stroke will lower the lifting mechanism. Control the descent by maintaining a firm grip on the handle. Be aware that the load may descend quickly if the handle is not controlled.
4. Remove Jack: Once the load is fully lowered and stable on the ground, remove the jack.

6. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Keep the jack clean and free from dirt, mud, and debris. Wipe down the vertical bar and moving parts after each use.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a general-purpose grease or lubricant to the vertical bar and all moving parts of the lifting mechanism to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect for signs of wear, damage, corrosion, or loose fasteners. Pay close attention to the lifting nose, base plate, handle, and the integrity of the vertical bar.
• Storage: Store the jack in a dry, protected area to prevent rust and damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your jack, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Jack does not lift:
  • Ensure the reversing latch is fully engaged in the "UP" position.
  • Check for obstructions in the lifting mechanism.
  • Lubricate the vertical bar and moving parts.
• Jack lowers too quickly or uncontrollably:
  • Ensure the reversing latch is fully engaged in the "DOWN" position.
  • Control the handle movement carefully during lowering. This type of jack requires a firm and controlled pumping action to lower safely.
  • Inspect the pawls and teeth on the vertical bar for wear or damage.
• Sticking or stiff operation:
  • Clean the vertical bar and lifting mechanism thoroughly.
  • Apply fresh lubricant to all moving parts.
  • Check for bent or damaged components.

If problems persist, discontinue use and contact Wiltec customer support or a qualified service technician.
