PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Blackhawk Automotive Hydraulic Service Jack is designed to lift, but not support, one end of a vehicle. Immediately

after lifting, loads must be supported by a pair of appropriately rated jack stands.

WARNING: Do not use hydraulic jack as stand-alone support device. After lifting, immediately support the lifted

vehicle with a pair of appropriately rated jack stands.

PREPARATION

Assembly

1. Assemble the 2-piece handle with provided bolt.

2. Insert handle into the handle sleeve. Tighten the bolt on handle sleeve to prevent accidental removal of handle

while in use.

WARNING: Do not lift or carry jack by handle. Handle could dislodge and jack fall, resulting in possible injury

or property damage.

Before Use

1. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the

product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.

2. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Blackhawk Technical Service (816) 891-6390.

3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, locate and turn the release valve (handle):

a. Clockwise until rm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to

raise the saddle.

b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn from the closed position. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve position

used to lower the saddle.

4. With saddle fully lowered, remove the oil ller plug. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized

air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Check oil level. Proper oil level will vary from just covering the ram

cylinder to 3/16” above it as seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall the oil ller plug.

5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded saddle throughout the lifting range before putting into

service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Blackhawk

authorized replacement parts only.

Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air

With the release valve in the OPEN position (step 3b. above) and with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the

oil ller plug. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the

reservoir. Reinstall the oil ller plug.

!WARNING

• Study, understand, and follow all instructions

before operating this device.

• Do not exceed rated capacity.

• Use only on hard, level surface.

• Lifting device only. Immediately after lifting,

support the vehicle with appropriate means.

• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specied by

the vehicle manufacturer.

• Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the

jack.

• No alterations shall be made to this product.

• Failure to heed these markings may result in

personal injury and/or property damage.

To avoid crushing and related injuries:

• Never work on, under or around a load supported

only by hydraulic jack.

• Always use adequately rated jack stands.

• Chock each unlifted tire in both directions.

• Do not use this device to lift, level, lower, support

nor move a house, mobile home, travel trailer,

camper or any building structure.

• Be alert and sober when using this product.

Do not operate under the inuence of drugs or

alcohol.

!WARNING

OPERATION

Lifting

1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for lifting. Engage the emergency brake and chock

each unlifted wheel in both directions to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.

2. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until rm resistance is felt.

3. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle. Center jack

saddle under lift point.

4. Verify lift point, then pump handle to contact lift point. To lift, pump handle until load reaches desired height.

5. Transfer the load to appropriately rated jack stands.

Lowering

WARNING: Clear all tools and personnel before lowering vehicle. Open release valve slowly. The further

the pump handle is turned counter-clockwise, the faster the load will descend. Maintain control of load at all

times.

1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.

2. Remove jack stands carefully (always used in pairs).

3. Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If the load fails to lower:

a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.

b. Remove the malfunctioning jack and then the jack stands.

c. Use the functioning jack to lower the vehicle.

4. After removing jack from under the vehicle, fully lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to rust and contamination.

MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Use premium quality hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of uid and do not use brake uid,

turbine oil, transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid can cause premature failure of the jack and the

potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.

Adding oil

1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Remove oil ller plug.

2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall the oil ller plug.

Changing oil

For best performance and longest life, replace the complete uid supply at least once per year.

1. With saddle fully lowered, remove the oil ller plug.

2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the uid into a suitable container.

NOTICE: Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with local environmental regulations.

3. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall oil ller plug.

Lubrication

A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that

wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.

Cleaning

Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.

NOTICE: Do not use sandpaper or abrasive material on ram and pump piston surfaces.

Storage

When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.
