PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This product is designed to lift, position, or move, but not
sustain, rated capacity loads. It is not designed to be used as
a stand-alone device. Any load lifted, positioned, or otherwise
moved by this device, must immediately be supported by
appropriately rated mechanical means. A wide variety of
applications exist for this category of product. Special skill,
knowledge and training may be required for a specific task and
this product may not be suitable for all jobs listed. Unsuitable
applications include applications that call for a device to
lift, position, move or support persons, animals, hazardous
materials, mobile homes and dwellings in general, mirrors,
plate glass or to connect/secure hatches, components, and
materials between bulkheads. The user ultimately must make
the decision regarding suitability of the product for any given
task and therefore accept responsibility for that decision.

PREPARATION
Before Use
1. Before using this jack, 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.
3. Assemble handle, ensure spring clips align with slots.
Replace reservoir oil plug with Vent Screw provided
4. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, use the notched
end of provided Pump Handle to engage and turn the
Release Valve:
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further turning.
This is the ‘ CLOSED’ Release Valve position used to
raise the ram plunger.
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 Ram Plunger.
5. With Ram Plunger fully retracted and release valve closed,
pump the operating handle. If Ram Plunger responds
immediately, jack is ready for use. If jack does not respond,
follow Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air instruction below.
6. Check that the pump operates smoothly and that the
Extension Screw will thread up/down easily before
putting into service. Replace worn or damaged parts and
assemblies with Omega authorized replacement parts only.
Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air
With the Release Valve in the OPEN position (step 4b above)
and with Ram Plunger fully lowered, locate and remove the
Oil Filler Plug/Screw. Insert the Pump Handle into the Handle
Sleeve; then pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release
any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir.
Oil level should be even with the bottom of the oil filler hole.
Reinstall oil reservoir Vent Screw.
