User Manual for Daytona 3 Ton Floor Jack DS300S

Important Safety and Setup Information

Before using the Daytona 3 Ton Floor Jack, read all safety instructions. This device is for lifting only; always support the vehicle with jack stands immediately after lifting. Use only on hard, level surfaces. Do not exceed the rated capacity of 6,000 lbs (3 Tons). Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during use.

Overview of the Floor Jack

The jack consists of a Saddle, Lift Arm, Handle, Handle Socket, and Handle Release. Familiarize yourself with these components before operation.

Setup and Preparation

Removing Shipping Block

The Handle Socket is held down by a plastic block under tension. Wear safety goggles, hold the Handle Socket down, remove the block, and carefully swing the Handle Socket up until tension is released.

Attaching the Handle

1. Slide the Upper Handle into the Lower Handle until it clicks.
2. Pull the Handle Release and insert the grooved end into the Handle Socket.
3. Release the Handle Release and pull up on the handle to ensure it is secure.

Bleeding Trapped Air

If the jack feels spongy or does not lift properly, bleed the air:

1. Remove the screws on the Cover Plate and swing it open.
2. Remove the Fill Plug on top of the Cylinder.
3. Insert the handle into the socket and turn it counterclockwise to open the release valve.
4. Pump the handle up and down quickly 10-15 times.
5. Replace the Fill Plug and close the Cover Plate.

Adding Oil

Use only 22 viscosity, non-detergent hydraulic jack oil. With the jack fully lowered, open the Cover Plate, remove the Fill Plug, and add oil until it reaches the top of the Piston inside the Cylinder.

Operating Instructions

Lifting

1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and engage the parking brake.
2. Turn the handle counterclockwise to lower the jack, then clockwise to close the valve.
3. Position the Saddle under the manufacturer's recommended lifting point.
4. Pump the handle to raise the jack until it nearly touches the lifting point, then position it precisely.
5. Pump the handle to lift the vehicle.
6. Once raised, slide jack stands under the vehicle and lower the vehicle onto them.

Lowering

1. Raise the vehicle slightly to clear the jack stands and remove them.
2. Slowly turn the handle counterclockwise (no more than 1/2 turn) to lower the vehicle to the ground.

Maintenance and Servicing

Inspect the jack before every use for leaking hydraulic fluid, loose hardware, or damaged parts. Do not use if damaged.

• Lubrication: Weekly, inject general-purpose lithium grease into grease fittings and lightly lubricate linkages and pivot points.
• Oil Change: Change hydraulic oil at least once every three years. Drain old oil by tipping the jack, then refill with non-detergent 22 weight hydraulic oil.

Troubleshooting

If the jack fails to operate correctly, ensure the release valve is fully closed and bleed the air from the system. If the saddle lowers under load, the valves may be blocked; flush them by manually lifting the saddle and forcing it down quickly. If the jack is low on oil, check the level and refill as described in the setup section.
