CAUTION: Before Operating the jack, the operator should make sure that the area is clear of personnel and objects obstructing working
space required to safely activate the jack lever in both directions. The operator's head and body should be positioned to one side of the
lever in a manner to prevent any injury should ratchet failure cause the lever to suddenly swing unrestricted.
Place the jack on a firm foundation, capable of supporting the expected load. Make sure the jack base is properly aligned perpendicular to the load
and that the base is fully supported (can be used in a horizontal or vertical position). Also, be sure that the jack is properly supported at the lifting
point in a manner that the jack cannot slip or the load cannot shift.
Refer to the model specification decal on the jack for the recommended Simplex lever bar length. Lever bar extenders are not to be used.
To Raise:
Make sure the socket plunger is shifted over to the UP position (1). Rotate the handle socket counterclockwise by hand using the post (2) to raise
the load cap to the load point (5) quickly. Fully insert the recommended lever bar into ratchet socket assembly (3). To operate, exert a controlled
force to extend as illustrated (4).
CAUTION: The sleeve grooves shown (6-7) are travel indicators. The first groove (6) is a visual indicator to alert the operator that the
sleeve extension is approaching the travel limit. The jacks rated travel is complete when the second groove (7) is visible. Do not operate
