Be sure to lube the jack screw and use *no* power tools on it…

Good luck and be safe, remember always keep the axis of the compressed spring pointed away from anything that you care about.

Also double and triple check as you are charging it up, that the 3 tabs on the shaft are securely inserted in the slots in the plates top and bottom.
