Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury or death:

1.DO NOT overload this jack beyond its rated capacity. Overloading can cause the jack to collapse and drop the load.

2.ALWAYS support the vehicle with appropriately rated support stands before working under it.

3.DO NOT attempt to move the vehicle while the jack is in use.

4.Use only on hard level surfaces like concrete or asphalt. Other surfaces are potentially unstable.

5.Center the load on the jack to maintain proper balance and stability.

6.DO NOT use jack if it begins leaking fluid or if it sinks when placed under load. These are indications that the jack needs to be immediately serviced.

If you need help with the Model H8097, call our Technical Support line at: (570) 546-9663.

Operation

To raise the saddle:

Turn the handle clockwise as far as it will turn and pump the handle up and down. Turning the handle clockwise will close the release valve.

Maintenance

Keep the hydraulic ram clean and free of any dust, dirt, or foreign debris. Abrasive material stuck to the ram can damage the hydraulic seal when the ram is retracted back into the jack. Regularly wipe the hydraulic ram clean with a lightly oiled rag.

The Model H8097 will require hydraulic fluid after long-term use. This will be noticeable if the jack will not reach its maximum height when pumped. Only use a high quality hydraulic fluid.

To add hydraulic fluid:

1.Completely lower the jack saddle.

2.Remove the fill plug shown in Figure 3.

3.Add fluid until it reaches the top of the fill plug hole.

4.Replace the fill plug.

5.Test the operation of the jack by pumping it up to the maximum height and applying a load to the saddle. The jack should hold the weight of the load without a sinking or spongy feeling.

???If the jack did not perform properly, then air may need to be bled from the pump system.

Bleeding the Air

If the jack becomes spongy or will not rise when pumped, then air bubbles may be in the hydraulic system. These air bubbles must be bled from the hydraulic fluid before the jack can be safely oper- ated.

To remove the air bubbles:

1.Rotate the handle counterclockwise five full turns.

2.Place a shop rag around and under the oil fill hole.

3.Remove the fill plug.

4.Pump the jack handle rapidly to force the air bubbles out through the fill hole. When the air bubbles stop coming out, add fluid as needed, then put the fill plug back.
