Explanation of Safety Signal Words

The safety signal word designates the degree or level of hazard seriousness.

Danger: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Caution: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

Setup

Assemble the Handle

Loosen the bolt on the handle socket.
Insert the handle.
Tighten the bolt.

Bleed Air from the Service Jack
Air can accumulate within a hydraulic system during shipment or after prolonged use. This entrapped air causes the jack to respond slowly or feel “spongy.”

To remove the air

Open the release valve by turning the release knob counterclockwise (CCW).
Pump the jack handle six full strokes.
Close the release valve by turning the release knob clockwise (CW).
Pump the jack handle or foot pedal until the lift arm is fully extended.
Lower the lift arm by turning the release knob CCW. If the jack does not immediately respond, repeat Steps 2–4.

Operating Instructions of OTC Service Jack Locking Handle 520770

Note: Before each use, remove any air that has accumulated in the jack system. Refer to the Setup section of these instructions for this procedure.

Lifting Operation

Turn release knob clockwise (CW) fully.
Position the jack under the vehicle.
CAUTION: Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting points on the chassis.
Pump the jack handle or the foot pedal until the saddle touches the vehicle. Check the placement of the saddle lugs. Finish lifting the vehicle.
Place approved support stands under the vehicle at points that will provide stable support. Before working on the vehicle, SLOWLY lower the vehicle onto the suport stands.

Lowering Operation

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, before lowering a vehicle ensure that no person or any obstacles are under the vehicle.

Lift the vehicle just far enough to remove the support stands from under the vehicle.
SLOWLY turn release knob counterclockwise (CCW) to lower the vehicle completely.

Preventive Maintenance

CAUTION: Only qualiﬁed operators may install, operate, adjust, maintain, clean, repair, inspect, or transport this service jack.
CAUTION: Dirt is the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic units. Keep the service jack clean and well lubricated to prevent foreign matter from entering the system. If the jack is exposed to rain, snow, sand, or grit, it must be cleaned before it is used.

Inspections

Before each use

A thorough inspection of the jack must be done by an approved inspector for any of the following conditions:
- Cracked or damaged housing.
- Excessive wear, bending, or other damage.
- Leaking hydraulic ﬂuid.
- Scored or damaged piston rod.
- Malfunctioning swivel heads or adjusting screw.
- Loose hardware
- Modiﬁed or altered equipment.

NOTE: If any of these conditions are found, discontinue use of the jack until corrective action is taken to ﬁx the jack.

A minimum of once a month, lubricate the moving parts of the jack (indicated by arrows in Figure 1).
Every three months, add grease to the upper grease nipple.
A minimum of once a year, drain, ﬂush, and replace the oil in the jack reservoir.

Only use type HL or HM hydraulic oil with an ISO grade of kinematic viscosity of 30 cSt at 40° Celsius, or any approved anti-wear hydraulic jack oil. Do not overﬁll the jack reservoir with oil. Figure 1

To check the oil level: Place the service jack on level ground and lower the lift arm completely. Remove the ﬁller plug located under the top shroud. The oil level should be within 10 mm (3/8 inch) of the ﬁller plug hole. If needed, add approved anti-wear hydraulic jack oil, and reinstall the ﬁller plug.

CAUTION: The use of alcohol, hydraulic brake ﬂuid, detergent motor oil, or transmission oil could damage the jack seals and result in jack failure.
