IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
23. When lifting the entire front end or rear end of a vehicle, 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, adjust the jack stands to the same height.
24. Do not work under the vehicle without properly supporting the vehicle with jack stands.
25. Avoid dangerous oncoming traffic. Use the Jack as far away from the roadside as possible.
26. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
27. Do not allow anyone inside the vehicle while using the Jack. Keep all bystanders a safe
distance away from the vehicle.
28. Do not support both ends of the vehicle at the same time.
29. Before lowering the jack, remove all tools and equipment from under the vehicle.
30. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must understand that
common sense and caution are factors, which cannot be built into this product, but
must be supplied by the operator.
BEFORE USE
NOTE: During shipment or handling, air in the
jack can become trapped in the hydraulic system
causing the jack to malfunction.
BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place the pump handle over the release valve
and turn counterclockwise no more than two
turns to open. (See Figure 1)
2. Slowly loosen the bleeder valve.
3. Pump jack about 6 full strokes to ensure
complete distribution of hydraulic fluid.
4. Repeat the above steps as needed.
5. Retighten the bleeder valve.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support
heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc. can cause either slow movement or cause
extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed
to keep the jack maintained and operational.
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the
jack. Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose
or missing parts, and any condition that may affect
the proper operation of the product. Any jack that
appears damaged in anyway must be removed from
service. Have the problem corrected before further
use. DO NOT use damaged equipment.
2. Replace worn or damaged parts with Performance
Tool replacement parts. Be sure that only qualified
personnel perform repairs.
3. Before each use, thoroughly test the jack for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the
jack appears not to be working properly, follow bleeding instructions.
4. When jack is not in use, ram and pump piston should be in fully down position to keep their
machined surfaces free from corrosion.
5. Keep jack clean and well lubricated at points illustrated in figure 2.
6. For best results, use only hydraulic fluid with a rating of SAE 20 for refills. Check fluid level
with jack in fully down position. Fluid level should be up to bottom of oil fill port. (See figure 3)
