you need the poles,either two 2x4s nailed together,or alumnium if thats the kind you have.need your top braces to attach to the roof.how you work them is,put your foot in the strap on the top and pump it will go up.to go down there is a lever at the bottom push it down and turn it:rolleyes:

on the top part that is by your walk board will be either a rubber strap for the aluminum ones or a piece that is like a u shaped piece of steel where you put the toe of your boot in and pump them.i am kinda curious what you are doing withthese cause if you really don't know how to use them you could get real hurt.:confused:

I'm Art's wife and I bought the pump jacks for him so that he could side our house. When there wasn't any instructions I got nervous. After your email I told him and he said he thought that was the way. I'm just trying to make his job easier. I'm tired of climbing up and down the ladders. Thanks for your help.
