9.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician.
The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.
11. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
12. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight
Tools.
13. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
14. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
regularly by a qualified technician.
Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual can-
not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the

but must be supplied by the operator.
Specific Jack Safety Precautions
1.
2.
Do not overload this equipment. Know the weight of the load being lifted.
Use Jack for lifting only. Do not use this equipment for any other purpose.
Immediately after lifting, support the load with appropriate supporting equipment.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Place Jack correctly. Only use this equipment on a surface that is stable, level,
clean and dry, and capable of sustaining the load.
Stabilize load. Ensure that the load remains stable at all times. Do not move load
while on the Jack. Lift deadweight loads only.
Vehicle lifting. When lifting a vehicle, apply the emergency brake and block all
wheels.
Center Load. Center the load on the Jack Saddle. Off center loads can damage the
seals, causing Jack failure.
Vehicle Lift Points. Read the vehicle manual to find the proper lifting points for the
vehicle.
Never attempt to use the Jack unless it is properly filled with hydraulic fluid.

Handle Assembly
1.
2.
Insert the Lower Handle (33) into the Handle Base (29) until it locks in place with
Locking Bolt (X). See photo above and on the next page.
Insert the Upper Handle (31) into the Lower Handle (33) so that its locking pin goes

Operation
1.
Test the Jack by placing the Saddle (40) under a stable, dead load. Turn the Handle
completely clockwise, and pump the Handle up and down.
The Jack Saddle should rise and stay at that level. If it slowly goes down, tighten the
Breathing Screw (A37). If it still goes down, the Power Unit may need to have the air
purged from its system. Refer to the Maintenance section.
2.
3.
Turn the Handle counterclockwise. The Saddle should lower completely.
Position the Jack under the equipment or vehicle to be lifted.
Warning:The Jack, and equipment being lifted, must be stable so when lifted, they do
not fall and cause personal injury. Keep spectators away from the work area. Read the
vehicle manual to find the proper lifting points for the vehicle.
4.
5.
Turn the Handle clockwise to close the release valve.
Pump the Handle up and down until the Saddle (40) just touches the item being lifted.
Readjust the Saddle position so that the equipment is centered on the Saddle.
6.
Continue pumping until the Jack is fully extended, or the equipment is lifted to the
desired height.
