Lifting
1. Park vehicle on a at, level, solid, surface safely
away from oncoming trafc. Turn off the vehicle’s
engine. Place the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK”
(if automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual). Set the
vehicle’s emergency brake. Then, chock the wheels
that are not being lifted.
2. Turn the Handle counterclockwise to lower the Jack.
Once the Jack is fully lowered, turn the Handle rmly
clockwise to close it.
3. Carefully position the Saddle of the Jack (Fig. 1)
under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting
point.(See vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual
for location of frame lifting point when lifting only one
wheel and frame lifting points when lifting the entire
front or rear end of the vehicle.)
4. Pump the Handle until the top of the Jack’s Saddle has
nearly reached the vehicle lifting point.
Note: The Jack should be positioned at 90° to the vehicle’s
lifting point to ensure the Jack’s Saddle and vehicle lifting
point are in alignment. If not, reposition the Jack before
lifting the vehicle.
5. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle of the Jack. Use
smooth, full strokes for best results.
6. Once the vehicle is raised, slide a jack stand of
appropriate capacity (not included) under the proper
lifting point referred to in the vehicle owner’s manual.
Always use two jack stands, position them at the same
point on each side of the vehicle.
The rated capacity of jack stands is per pair, not the
individual capacities combined unless specically noted on
the product by the jack stand manufacturer. Do not exceed
rated jack stand capacity. Ensure that the vehicle support
points are fully captured between the outer lugs of both jack
stands. Use a matched pair of jack stands per vehicle to
support one end only. Use 1 pair per vehicle only. Failure to
do so may result in sudden loss of load, which may cause
personal injury and/or property damage.
