OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure the vehicle is parked on a
at, level, solid, ground surface.
2. Turn off the vehicle’s engine. Place
the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK”
(if automatic) or in it lowest gear (if
manual). Set the emergency brake.
Then chock the wheels that are not
being lifted.
3. Check to make sure the Bottle Jack
is fully lowered. If not, assemble the
Handle (41) assembly. Insert the lower
portion of the Handle assembly onto
the Release Valve Screw (4), and turn
the Screw counterclockwise to lower
the Jack. Once the Jack’s ram is fully
lowered, turn the Screw clockwise to
close the Release Valve (4).
(See Assy. Diagram.)
4. Carefully position the ram (9) of
the Bottle Jack under the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended lifting
point. (See vehicle manufacturer’s
manual for location of seam lifting point
when lifting only one wheel and frame
lifting points when lifting the entire front
or rear end of the vehicle.) (See Assy.
Diagram.)
To raise the vehicle manually:
a. Pump the Handle (41) assembly until
the top of the Bottle Jack’s ram (9)
has nearly reached the vehicle lifting
point. The Jack should be positioned
at 90° to the vehicle’s lifting point to
ensure the Bottle Jack’s Ram and
vehicle lifting point are in alignment.
If not, remove and reposition the Jack
before lifting.
b. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle
assembly using smooth, full strokes.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
To raise the vehicle, using compressed
air:
a. Check to make sure the Lock Lever
of the Air Valve (32) assembly is in its
unlocked position. Then connect an
air hose (not included) to the Air Valve
assembly.
(See Assy. Diagrams.)
b. Turn on your air compressor, and set
its regulator to 110-120 PSI. Do not
exceed 120 PSI.
c. Depress the Lever of the Air Valve
assembly until the top of the Bottle
Jack has nearly reached the vehicle
lifting point. The Jack should be
positioned at 90° to the vehicle’s
lifting point to ensure the Bottle
Jack’s Ram and vehicle lifting point
are in alignment. If not, remove and
reposition the Bottle Jack before
