10. If damaged, have the jack serviced before using. Check for loose screws, mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, loose mounting, cracked or broken parts, low
hydraulic oil level, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained jacks.
11. Jack service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
12. When servicing a jack, use only identical replacement parts - refer to attached,
product-specific parts list and diagram. Follow instructions in the
“Inspec-
tion, Maintenance, And Cleaning”
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum lift capacity for the Bottle Jack as
stated on the product label and the specifications table. Overloading the
Jack could cause serious personal injury and/or property damage.
2. The Bottle Jack is designed for intermittent use only. Do not use the Jack to
support a vehicle over extended periods of time. The duration of the lifting job
should be kept as short as possible. Always use jack stands to support a vehicle
over an extended period of time.
3. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Bottle Jack. These carry important in-
formation. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
4. Prior to using the Bottle Jack, make sure to read and understand all warn-
ings, safety precautions, and instructions as outlined in the
manufacturer’s
instruction manual for the vehicle (or object) you will lift.
5. When lifting only one wheel, make sure to support the load immediately with
one jack stand (not included) placed under the side of the vehicle being lifted.
Align the saddle of the jack stand directly under the vehicle’s seam or recommended
lifting point.
6. When lifting the entire front end or rear end of a vehicle, make sure to support
the load immediately with two jack stands. Align the saddles of the jack stands
directly under the vehicle’s frame or recommended lifting points. Also make sure
the jack stands are adjusted at the same height.
7. Make sure the Bottle Jack is used only on a dry, oil/grease free, flat, level,
solid surface capable of supporting the weight of the vehicle being lifted and
any additional tools and equipment.
8. Do not work under the vehicle without properly supporting the vehicle with
jack stands. Make sure the load and jack stands are stable before getting under a
vehicle.
