9. Remove the lifting sling and lower the jack front access

cover to its normal position, so it is supported by the chain
drive plate. The front access cover and protective bellows
should now completely cover the cylinder threads and chain
drive mechanism.

WARNING

Be certain that jack front access cover is

installed and fully lowered before starting the jack. Never
operate the jack with the front access cover removed or
raised, either during lubrication and maintenance procedures
or when the jack is in use. Failure to observe this precaution
may result in persons becoming entangled in the moving
parts of the chain drive mechanism. Serious personal injury
could result.

the cylinder and related components. Keep hands and
ﬁ ngers away from pinch and crush points. Serious personal
injury could occur if these precautions are not observed.
Refer to Section 1.3 of this manual for additional hazard
information.

11. With no load on the jack, fully extend and retract the cylinder

several times to distribute the gear oil on the cylinder
threads, and on the chain and drive components. Verify
proper operation.
