Important: Service jacks are self-contained devices used for lifting, but not sustaining, a partial vehicular load. In accordance with ASME-PASE
Load Sustaining Test: "A load not less than the rated capacity...shall not lower more than 1/8" (3.18mm) in the first minute, nor a total of .1875"
(4.76mm) in 10 minutes." Lowering within this range is considered normal operation and is NOT a warrantable defect.
