HOW TO USE:
- Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is on a stable, level surface. Chock unlifted wheels and verify the jack’s air supply (90–180 PSI).
- Positioning: Roll the jack under the lifting point using the one-piece handle and large wheels. Center the saddle under the contact point.
- Adjusting Height (if needed): Choose the appropriate ram extension and insert it securely into the ram before lifting.
- Lifting the Load: Activate the air supply. The motor advances the ram quickly to contact, then lifts the load. Monitor for stability.
- Securing the Load: Once at desired height, place jack stands beneath the vehicle. Never rely on the jack alone for support.
- Lowering the Load: Ensure the area is clear. Release the air supply gradually for a smooth descent via air assist and return springs.
- Storage: Retract the ram fully, disconnect air, and store the jack in a dry, clean place with the handle in position.
