How do I lock the handle in place to raise or lower the jack?

I am not sure what you are asking Angela. So if you are talking about lifting and lowering the vehicle you just turn the to the right to lift and to the left to lower. If you are talking about holding it in place there is a little round knob at the base where the handle is inserted. when you insert the end of tube into the hole there is a square piece that goes inside the end of the handle tube. After that goes in a little bit, pull the knob straight back. it is spring loaded and you will feel the tension on it as you pull it back. Then push the handle in the rest of the way and let the knob go back in. it will lock the handle in. I hope this helps you.

There is a bolt that you insert to keep the handle from falling out. Twist the handle to one side (the right I think) and start pumping. If the jack doesn't start to raise, twist the handle to the other side and pump. To lower the jack twist (slowly) the handle back to the starting position. I found this video on Youtube that you may find helpful. Skip to 6:00 where he has take it out of the box. http://youtu.be/yESlS408mJo

To lock, you turn the handle clockwise until it stops. To lower, turnthe handle counter clockwise(slowly). Too fast, and the car will dropquickly. Always use jackstands for extra safety when supporting anythingwith a hydraulic jack.

A bolt that screws into the handle, both where the two pieces of handle come together and where it goes into the jack. Two different style bolts. Hope this helps, if not, write me back.

I just watch the video one replier sent you. In the video it looks like it uses the wrong end of the handle tube in the jack or it is not the same as mine. The part with the foam on the handle is the one to in insert into the jack. The foam is to prevent damage to the vehicle if it was to come into contact. Not sure what he is doing. LOL I have know way of sending you a pic on here or I would. sorry.

Similar to George's answer, but my "knob" in the yoke is a screw out and in rather tha being spring loaded. Wayne

turn the handle right to lock it and left to unlock it....twist it when in place.

There is a pull and twist pin that will either keep the rocking movement locked, or allow for continuous rocking. The pin handle is a little difficult to engage/disengage.

There is a rigid plate on the inside of the handle. Pull it to the side and push the blade down

Not suggested per international codes. You can temporarily jack up things with hydraulic jacks but the standard is to replace this temporary lift with a permanent in-place post of some sort.

Mine has a yellow knob at the top of the handle (single leg). In the closed position you slide the leg forward (toward the jaw) then tighten the knok to lock the handle in place for transport.

Patricia, Top step on the left you will find a lever sticking out. Push it down while lifting up on the handle.

No the handle does not need to be up to release the jack. I really like this jack and it works very smooth and efficiently with minimal effort.

Carol, if you can't move the highth adjustment lever once you squeeze the handle together, you may have a similiar problem as Mr. Carson above you. It should move freely up and down with lowering being the easiest and raising being only slightly more labor intensive.

Hi Janet......all you have to do is push the orange circle up towards the blades and that should do it. Then you juts push the circle towards the handles to lock.

I'm surprised no one has actually figured this out yet and written this tip to help others figure out the tilt. You know how you pull on the handle to make the chair go up and down (the pneumatic lift)? Well, you just have to pull that bar out for tilt, and push it in for lock position. The knob is only for tension. Pull out the bar!

I don't know if this will help but the raise/lower cord is 'beaded' and the roller it passes through is notched accordingly so the cord acts as its own 'lock'. Hope that helps.

Directly behind the clamping head is a handle that faces downward. Pull the handle outward and rotate the clamping head. When you have the clamping head in the desired position push the handle down to re-lock the clamping head.

At the top end by the handle where the cord comes in, pull it up. It doesn't come easy but that will loosen it enough to just pull the insides up and out. Hope this helps.

On mine, if I releasse the button in the handle when it is part way up, it locks in a lower position.

Press very firmly on the handles and slide the black sliding lock mechanism on the handle backward to unlock and forward (towasds the blades) to lock. It will be stiff at first, but much easier with a little use

there is a small tiny slot on the inside handle. use a small flat head screwdriver to push into the slot which will release a catch and while holding it in pull the handle off. sometimes it is very tight but be persistent and the handle will come off. then reverse the handle and push back on.

Sort of...you can move the frame adapters horizontally along the length of the jack as needed. You can also unscrew the adapter up to approx. 2 inches before losing the threads--which helps adjust to fit your frame. The adapters are the least useful part of the jack. I use them less to catch the frame than to balance the frame on the jack itself.
