1. Occasionally hydraulic jacks become
air bound and will not function properly.
To correct this condition, remove oil
filler screw. This will allow any
pressurized air to escape.
a. Ensure the oil level is even with or
just below the oil filler hole.
b. Reinstall the oil filler screw.
2. Thoroughly lubricate all moving parts
of the jack.

Operation
LIFTING
1. Assemble 3-piece handle by lining up
spring pins with corresponding slots.
2. Secure load to prevent inadvertent
shifting and movement.
3. Close release valve by turning handle
clockwise until it is firmly closed.
4. Position jack under load and pump
handle until saddle contacts load.
Off center loads
and loads lifted while
jack is not level may damage the jack or
cause personal injury.
5. Raise load to desired height and
immediately transfer load to proper
mechanical means such as jack
stands.
LOWERING
Be sure all tools
and personnel are
clear before lowering load.
1. Insert handle onto release valve and
slowly turn handle counterclockwise no
more than half full turn at a time.
2. Push handle sleeve down manually if
still extended to reduce piston
exposure to rusting
IMPORTANT: Avoid "shock load" created
by quickly opening and closing the
release valve as load is being lowered.
This may result in an overloading of the
hydraulic circuit and possible damage to
the jack.
