Help with sears jack
A buddy gave me his old Sears cycle jack. It's the red one and I know it's not great, but for nothing I couldn't turn it down. The problem is there no manual and he doesn't remember how to use it. The foot press won't move. So I went on the sears site to look for the manual with no luck. Does anyone know where I can find the manual? If not, what am I doing wrong that the foot pedal won't move. Probably some simple thing I'm missing. Appreciate your help.

it has two foot presses the long one is to raise it, the smaller one is to lower it.
Make sure the the bolt through the pump is hooked into the u-joint looking thingy
it should be resting at 35 degree angle -
always ease the bike back down

Not quite sure what you're referring to, but it appears that everything is hooked up properly.

Mine has a foot pedal to jack up with, and a knurled **** to release the fluid and lower. Your slowly turn the knurled **** to relase fluid slowly and gently to lower.
I bought mine maybe 2001, so if it's an older one it might have the ****. Close it to use the pedal and jack up.
Position the rear foot of the jack on the cross member of the frame in the rear and up you go. I can do it by myself by righting the bike as I start to jack.. but a 2nd person is a good idea first coupkle times you do this.
Then I use the strong motorcycle trailer type tie-downs to secure the entire bike and jack.

Nothing. It doesn't move. It seems to be in the down position.

Can you pull the peddle up manually then press it down?
