information.
• Failure to heed product markings or
warnings may result in personal injury
or property damage.
BEFORE EACH USE
Make a visual inspection before each use
of the floor jack by checking for abnormal
conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks and
damaged, loose, or missing parts.
CAUTION BEFORE USING
DAMAGE TO JACK
Occasionally during shipment and/or
handling the hydraulic oil can become
unstable or air can get trapped in the
system, both of which can interfere with the
jacks lifting performance.
If you think jack has been subjected to an
abnormal load or shock, have it inspected for
damage at a Sears or other qualified service
center before using it again.

OPERATION
KNOW YOUR JACK
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Compare Fig. 3 illustration with your jack
BEFORE operation to become familiar with
the location of various jack components.
• With release valve closed, an upward
stroke of the jack handle draws oil from
the reservoir tank into the plunger cavity.
Hydraulic pressure holds a valve closed,
which keeps the oil in the plunger cavity.
• A downward stroke of the jack handle
releases oil into the cylinder, which forces
the ram out. This raises the saddle. (NOTE:
To avoid damage to the cylinder if the load
exceeds the rated capacity of the jack,
oil is automatically released back into
the reservoir through the safety overload
valve.)
Jack Handle
• Whentheramreachesmaximumextension,
oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to
prevent an over-extended ram stroke and
possible damage to the jack.
Oil Filler Screw (located
beneath Tool Tray)
Saddle Pad
• Opening the release valve allows oil to
flow back into the reservoir. This releases
hydraulic pressure on the ram, which
results in lowering the saddle.

HOW TO USE YOUR JACK
RAISING THE JACK
• Chock the vehicle wheels with appropriate
devices to prevent vehicle from moving and
to ensure lifting stability.
Front Wheel
• Close the release valve by turning the jack
handle clockwise until tight. (see Fig. 3)
Spring Loaded Rear Castor
• Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s
manual to locate approved lifting points on
the vehicle. Position jack so that the saddle
(see Fig. 3) is centered under the load at
an appropriate lift point.

• Pump jack handle until saddle ALMOST
contacts the vehicle. Check to see that the
saddle is centered and will contact the load
lifting point firmly.
• Continue to pump the jack handle to lift
the vehicle to the desired height. After
lifting, immediately support the load with
appropriately rated vehicle support stands
BEFORE working on the vehicle.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING OIL LEVEL
ANNUAL INSPECTION
Important: When adding or replacing oil,
ALWAYS use a good grade Hydraulic Jack oil.
DO NOT use Hydraulic Brake Fluid, Alcohol,
Glycerine, Detergent, Motor Oil or dirty oil.
Use of an improper fluid can cause serious
internal damage to your jack. We recommend
Mobil DTE13M or equivalent.
To ensure that it is in optimum condition,
annual inspection of the jack at a Sears
Service Center is recommended.
REPLACING OIL
• To drain oil, remove oil filler screw and open
release valve. Turn jack over and drain old
oil out through the oil filler hole.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance
with local regulations.
• Refill with new oil through the oil filler hole.
DO NOT allow dirt or foreign material to
enter the hydraulic system when filling.
• After refilling, remove any air from the
hydraulic system by opening the release
valve and rapidly pumping the jack handle
several times.
ADDING OIL
• Position the jack on level ground and
fully lower the saddle. (Ram will be all the
way in). Remove oil filler screw from the
reservoir (see Fig. 3 & 4).
• Oil should be filled to the level of about
3/16” above the inner cylinder as seen
from the oil filler hole. If low, add oil as
needed.
• Re-install oil filler screw. The jack is now
ready to use.
• Re-install oil filler screw and the jack is
ready to use.
LUBRICATION
• Add lubricating oil to all moving parts as
needed.
PREVENTING RUST
• Check ram and pump piston (see Fig. 4)
every few months for any signs of rust or
corrosion. Clean as needed by wiping with
an oily cloth.
• When not in use, ALWAYS store jack with
saddle lowered all the way down.
