for list of authorized service centers). It is recommended that an annual inspection be done by qualified personnel.
Labels and Operator's Manuals are available from manufacturer.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Hydraulic Service Jack is designed to lift, but not support, one end of a vehicle. Immediately after lifting, loads must
be supported by a pair of appropriately rated jack stands. This MagicLift™ service jack has a unique feature that
provides fast, no load lifts to the jacking point, at which time it lifts in approximately 0.75~2" increments.
! NEVER use hydraulic jack as stand-alone device. After lifting, immediately support the lifted vehicle with
a pair of appropriately rated jack stands.

PREPARATION
Assembly
Always secure the handle into the handle sleeve with the bolt provided. Tighten securely to prevent accidental
removal of handle while in use.
Before Use
1. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Omega Technical Service (888) 332-6419.
2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, turn the release valve (handle knob):
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to
raise the saddle.
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 saddle.
4. With saddle fully lowered, locate and remove cover plate, then remove the vent screw. Check oil level. Proper
oil level will vary from just covering the ram cylinder to 3/16” above it as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall the
vent screw.
5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded saddle throughout the lifting range before putting into
service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Omega
authorized replacement parts only.

OPERATION
Lifting
Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used. Lift only on area of the
! vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
1. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for lifting. Engage the emergency brake and chock
each unlifted wheel in both directions to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
2. Close the release valve by turning the handle knob clockwise until firm resistance is felt.
3. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle. Center jack
saddle under lift point.
4. Verify lift point, then pump handle to contact lift point. To lift, pump handle until load reaches desired height.
5. Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
NEVER use hydraulic jack as a stand alone device! ALWAYS transfer the lifted load IMMEDIATELY to a
! pair of appropriately rated jack stands. Use one pair of jack stands per vehicle. Rated capacity is per
pair only! Do not exceed rated capacity.
Lowering
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. Slowly open the release valve! The more
! you turn the handle counter-clockwise, the faster the load will come down. Maintain control of the rate
of speed at which the load lowers at all times!
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands.
2. Remove jack stands carefully (always used in pairs).
3. Slowly turn the handle knob counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the malfunctioning jack and then the jack stands.
c. Using the functioning jack to lower the vehicle.
4. After removing jack from under the vehicle, fully lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.

MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid,
turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the
potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove vent screw.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall the vent screw.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily
cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.
