Important; Preventative Maintenance - Evercraft 776-1435 Mode D'emploi

SETUP
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Secure the two handle halves #78 and #76 together with the screw #77.
2. Insert the handle in the handle yoke #68 and rotate it back and forth until the release linkage inside the socket fits up inside the bottom of the handle. Secure
the handle to the handle socket using the handle bolt #75.
3. Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system during shipping and handling. Trapped air will affect the pumping performance of the jack. If this occurs, follow
the air purging procedure below:
a) Rotate the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Rotate the handle in a counterclockwise direction two complete revolutions. Pump the handle
approximately 15 complete pump strokes.
b) Rotate the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Proceed to pump the jack to maximum lift height.
c) Repeat steps a) and b) until all air has been purged from the system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury hazards.
Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.

IMPORTANT:

Before attempting to raise any vehicle, check vehicle service manual for recommended lifting surfaces.
OPERATION:
1. To raise load: Turn the handle in a clockwise direction until tight. Position the jack under the load. Proceed to pump the handle in order to raise the lift arm to the
load. As the saddle at the end of the lift arm gets closer to the load, reposition the jack so the saddle will contact the load firmly and the load is centered on the
saddle. Make sure the saddle is correctly positioned. Raise the load to the desired work height. Place jack stands of appropriate capacity at the vehicle
manufacturer's recommended support areas that provide stable support for the raised vehicle. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR
PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS! Once jack stands are positioned, turn the handle VERY SLOWLY. Lower the load to rest on the jack stands. Inspect the
relationship between the jack stands and load to make sure the setup is stable and safe. If the setup is not stable or safe, follow the preceding steps until corrected.
2. To lower load: Follow the procedures mentioned in "To raise load" section of the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS in order to raise the load off the jack stands. Once
the load has cleared the jack stands, remove the stands from under the load and away from the work area. Turn handle very slowly in a counterclockwise direction
until the load is completely lowered to the ground. Once the jack's lifting saddle has cleared the load, remove the jack from under the load. CAUTION: Keep hands
and feet away from the hinge mechanism of the jack. DO NOT CRAWL UNDER VEHICLE WHILE LIFTING VEHICLE OR PLACING OR REMOVING THE JACK STANDS!

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements.
The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to caster wheels, front axle,
elevator arm, handle base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other bearing surfaces. Worn parts resulting from inadequate or no lubrication are not eligible for
warranty consideration.
3. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires immediate repair which
must be performed in a dirt-free environment by an authorized service center.
