Your 3 Ton Long Ram Round Bottom Hydraulic Jack will require complete
assembly and installation prior to use. It is important that you read the entire
manual to become familiar with the product BEFORE you assemble and use the
Hydraulic Jack. Before assembling and operating the Hydraulic Jack be sure
that you have all parts described in the Parts List and Assembly Diagram located
on the last pages of this manual.
1. Attach the Hydraulic Jack to the product you are using. Secure the Valve
Body (1) to the product by inserting a pin (not included) through the holes in
the Valve Body (1) and properly securing it, (See Mounting Hole #1, right).
Slide another pin (not included) through the product and Ram (6) (See
Mounting Hole #2, right), securing it as well. Make sure the pins’ diameters are a push fit with
just enough clearance so they move freely. The pins should be held in place with appropriate
e-clips or hardened cotter pins (neither one included).

instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and
