Chock the wheels that will remain on the ground to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Positioning the Jack: Locate the vehicle's designated lift point, as specified in the owner's manual. Roll the AFF 352HD jack to the lift point and center the saddle directly underneath it. Lifting the Vehicle: Insert the handle into the handle socket. Pump the handle up and down to begin lifting the vehicle. The Lightning™ hydraulic system will raise the vehicle quickly. Continue pumping until the vehicle is at the desired height. Securing the Vehicle: Once the vehicle is lifted, always place a pair of jack stands under a sturdy part of the vehicle's frame for support. The jack is designed for lifting and positioning, not for holding the vehicle's weight for an extended period. Lowering the Vehicle: To lower the vehicle, slowly and carefully turn the handle counterclockwise to release the pressure. The universal joint technology will ensure a smooth, controlled descent. Once the vehicle is fully lowered, remove the jack and store it.BENEFITS OF USING AMERICAN FORGE & FOUNDRY 3.5T 2-HANDLE HEAVY DUTY FLOOR JACK (352HD): Saves time and effort with a quick, high-speed lifting mechanism.
