- [Narrator] To safely move the floor jack carton,
always use a dolly
with a rated capacity greater than the package.
An appropriate material handling dolly
will aid in the prevention
of lower back strains and lifting concerns.
Always enlist a second person to lift loads over 50 pounds.
(upbeat music)
Use a knife or a side cutter to safely cut the straps,
then lift the lid off the base.
Next, fold down the flap at the rear of the jack
and remove the end cap.
Then roll the jack out of the carton.
Next, press down on the yoke and remove the yoke clip.
Then install the handle.
Making sure it's completely seated prior to use.
Finally bleed the jack by loosening the handle
two complete turns counter-clockwise from fully closed,
and pump the handle without a load 10 to 15 pump strokes.
(upbeat music)
Close the handle and verify the trapped air is purged
by observing the lift arm in one full pump.
If properly bled,
the lift arm will raise a minimum of six inches.

When raising a vehicle,
place automatic transmissions in park,
leave manual transmissions in first gear,
apply the emergency brake.
Make sure to check the vehicle's owner's manual
or consult with the ALI vehicle lifting points guide
to determine the proper lift point to position the jack.
Maneuver the jack so it's saddle is centered
directly below the vehicles designated lift point,
rotate the handle clockwise until it stops,
pump the handle slowly.
Pump the handle until the load is completely raised,
and place jack stands
at the vehicle's designated support points.
(upbeat music)
To lower the vehicle,
place the jack saddle under the vehicle lift point
and slowly pumped the jack until the vehicle is raised
above the jack stands.
(upbeat music)
Then remove them.
(upbeat music)
Do not crawl under the vehicle
when placing or removing jack stands.
Slowly rotate the jack handle counter-clockwise
to lower the vehicle.
Finally, remove the jack.
In the event your jack is not functioning properly
or to inquire on a warranty issue,
or if you need replacement parts,
call 877-727-7664 in the U.S.
or 866-824-0524 in Canada.
The operator will assist you in obtaining replacement parts.
Your snap-on floor jack is field serviceable,
and each of the components are designed
to be easily replaced if necessary.

To repair or replace the power unit,
first remove the rear crossbar with a 14 millimeter socket.
(upbeat music)
Install the optional pump piston retention strap
to facilitate easy removal of the power unit.
The pump piston retention strap keeps the pistons
from extending during disassembly,
preventing potential hydraulic fluid leaks.
(upbeat music)
To gain access to the four bolts
that hold the power unit in place,
you can remove the rear casters
using a 24 millimeter socket.
As an alternative,
you can use a 19 millimeter swivel socket
to remove the power unit fasteners.
This saves the step of removing the rear casters
and is the method we've used in this demonstration.
Remove the four bolts, holding the power unit in place.
Pull up on the lift arm
to swing the power unit out from the bottom of the jack.
(upbeat music)
Once accessible,
remove the two retaining rings on the trunnion block
with a Snap-on retaining ring plier,
spread the paralleling links apart to remove the pump.
Then remove the two springs from the pump assembly
with a needle nose plier.
(upbeat music)
Now remove the trunnion block by taking out the Cotter pin
and sliding the trunnion block off the ramp.
(upbeat music)
Place the trunnion block onto the replacement power unit,
insert the Cotter pin,
and spread the ends to ensure the pin stays in place.
Then re-install the springs.
(upbeat music)
Now place the trunnion block into the holes
in the parallel links,
install the retaining rings on each side
and swing the power unit into place.
Carefully start the bolts and torque each of them
to 35 foot pounds.
If the casters were removed,
re-installed them and torque them to 45 foot pounds.
Next remove the piston retaining strap
with a four millimeter hex bit socket.
Re-install the crossbar and torque those bolts
to 180 inch pounds.
(upbeat music)
Test the operation of the jack
by first loosening up the handle two full turns,
and pumping 10 full strokes
to bleed out any trapped air.
Close the release valve
and test the jack by pumping the handle
and observing the action of the lift arm.
If the lift arm appears to rise equally
with each pump stroke, the jack is ready for use.
(upbeat music)
To service or replace the yoke,
first, remove the handle.
The optional pump piston retaining strap can be installed
at this time to keep the pump pistons in place.
Then remove the two yoke pivot bolts
using a 26 millimeter socket.
The bolt on the right side of the jack
has a left-handed thread
and requires clockwise rotation to loosen it.
Be sure to take note of the proper thread orientation
of each pivot bolt when replacing them.
Next, remove the yoke.
(upbeat music)
For reinstallation, place the yoke into position.
Start each of the yoke pivot bolts by hand
to ensure they're not crossed-threaded in assembly.
(upbeat music)
Tighten each of the yoke pivot bolts to 52 foot pounds.
The pump piston retention strap can now be removed.
Lubricate both of the grease fittings
with lithium based grease.
Finally check the operation of the jack
prior to placing it back in service.
(upbeat music)
First you'll need to remove the yoke
when repairing or replacing the universal joint,
use a four millimeter hex bit socket
to remove the universal joint retaining plate.
Next, unscrew the universal joint completely and remove it.
Prior to installing the new universal joint,
lubricate the O-ring with some oil
to prevent any damage to the seal during installation.
Next take the new universal joint
and completely thread it into the power unit.
Replace the universal joint retaining plate
and torque the fastener to 133 inch pounds.
The yoke can now be installed.
Test the operation of the jack
prior to placing it back in service.
(upbeat music)
In order to replace the yoke roller and pin,
first remove the yoke,
then use the SRPC 4,700 snap ring pliers
to remove the retaining ring.
Finally push out the pin.
Prior to reassembly,
lubricate the yoke roller, pin and pivot
with a lithium based grease.
Place the new yoke roller and pin into the yoke
and re-install the retaining ring.
Test the operation of the jack
prior to placing it back in service.

When replacing a front wheel,
use a 24 millimeter socket
to remove the nut holding the front wheel.
Replace the wheel
and be sure to use the new replacement nut
supplied in the kit.
Torque the nut to 45 foot pounds.
Lubricate the grease fitting with lithium based grease.
(upbeat music)
You can remove the casters with a 24 millimeter socket.
Re-install and torque the nut to 45 foot pounds.

To remove the saddle,
simply turn it with a slight upward force.
When the notch clears the lift arm pivot,
the saddle can be removed.
Installation is the opposite of removal.
Be sure to inspect the mating surfaces
and apply a lithium based grace if needed.
(upbeat music)
It's recommended
that your Snap-on floor jack be lubricated weekly
or as conditions require.
There are five grease fittings on the floor jack.
One is on the lift arm pivot.
There are two in the yoke and one for each front wheel.
Dispense just enough grease to fill the area
between the mating surfaces, but not too much,
as excess grease can catch dirt and debris.
It's also a good idea to apply grease
where the handle meets the yoke and the saddle pivot.
Apply enough graves to cover the mating surfaces.
Also use a spray lithium based grease
on linkages and pivot points.

Usage and shop conditions
determine frequency of regular maintenance.
Always keep the jack clean and dry,
inspect the jack before each workday,
do not use the jack if any component is cracked,
broken, bent, shows signs of damage,
is missing parts or is leaking any hydraulic fluid.
If it shows damage,
immediately remove it from service until properly repaired.
Also regularly check your jack
for missing hardware or components.
Take corrective action before using.
Thank you for watching.
With proper maintenance,
your Snap-on FJ200 floor jack is designed
to provide years of reliable service.
