3.0 Safety warnings
1. Read and understand the entire owner's manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the jack and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of
these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This is a lifting device only. Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack. The load shall be
supported immediately by jack stands, or other appropriate means.
5. Inspect jack before each use. Do not use jack if it is damaged, has been altered or parts have
loosened.
6. Do not exceed rated lift capacity. Overloading can cause damage to, or failure of, the jack.
7. Always center load on saddle.
8. Do not introduce blocks or other items between load and jack saddle.
9. Lift only on areas of the vehicle specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
10. This jack is designed for use on hard, level surfaces capable of sustaining the load. Use on other than
hard, level surfaces can result in jack instability and possible loss of load.
11. Clear obstructions from around jack area, such as tools, gravel, etc., before lifting.
12. Do not get under vehicle while jack is being used as the only support.
for the location of your nearest JET Authorized Service Center.
14. Jack service must be performed by qualified personnel only. Use only genuine JET factory
replacement parts; use of unauthorized parts may cause risk of injury, and may void warranties.
15. Use only approved hydraulic fluid (ISO 32 hydraulic oil, or “jack oil”). Use of other fluids, such as
brake fluid or transmission oil, can damage seals and cause possible jack failure.
16. Do not modify the jack.
17. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may result in loss of load, damage to jack, and/or failure
resulting in personal injury or property damage.

8.0 Operating instructions
6.0 Assembly
Numbers in parenthesis (#) refer to parts
breakdown, page 6:
Important: During shipment and handling, air
sometimes gets into the hydraulic system
causing poor lifting performance. Before initial
operation, purge any air from system by fully
opening pump release valve (turn handle
counter-clockwise). Then, while holding saddle
down, pump handle rapidly several times.
1. Insert Upper Handle (30) into Lower Handle
(29) and fasten with Hex Cap Bolt (28).
2. Remove Handle Bolt (25).
3. Insert handle assembly into Handle Socket
(23). Make sure handle assembly engages
Gear Shaft (27) by turning handle back and
forth and observing movement of Handle
Socket Gear (26).
8.1 Raising the jack
1. Close release valve by turning handle
clockwise until resistance is felt. Do not over
tighten.
4. Install Handle Bolt (25) to secure handle
assembly.
2. Place jack directly under object to be lifted,
and pump handle to raise saddle to contact
point. Make sure saddle accepts weight
firmly and centrally.
7.0 Lubrication
3. Check positioning under slight load to
confirm jack or load will not slip, or move
suddenly.
Note: Lubricate before initial operation, and
periodically to ensure smooth operation.
Lubricate jack at points 1 through 6, as indicated
in Figure 1.
4. Raise jack by pumping handle until desired
height is reached.
5. After lifting, secure and transfer load to jack
stands or other appropriate means. Do not
use jack as the only means of support.
8.2 Lowering the jack
Slowly turn handle counter-clockwise. Speed of
descent is controlled by amount release valve is
turned.
9.0 Maintenance
Store jack in a safe and dry environment, away
from children or unauthorized personnel. Always
store jack in fully lowered position, with handle in
upright position.
Figure 1 – Lubrication points
1. Handle: Use #2 tube grease on release
valve gears below handle and lightly grease
handle at point where it fits into socket.
Keep jack clean and properly lubricated.
2. Wheels: Use 30W oil on axles and caster
bearings.
3. Lifting Arm: Inject #2 tube grease into
grease fitting.
4. Saddle and linkage: Use 30W oil on all
moving and pivoting parts.
5. Handle socket pivot bolts: Lubricate with
30W oil.
6. Plunger and plunger pin: Use #2 tube
grease to lubricate connection between
pump plunger and pin in handle socket.
