PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Pro-Lift Hydraulic Bottle Jacks are de-
signed to lift, but not sustain, loads rang-
ing from 2 tons thru 20 tons depending
on the rated capacity of the jack. They are
designed to be used vertically. After lift-
ing, loads must be immediately sup-
ported by appropriate means. Each
model is suitable for use in an appropri-
ately rated and designed vertical or bench
press structure. These jacks are not rec-
ommended for use in lifting or position-
ing construction trailers, houses and/or
other building structures.
BEFORE USE
1. Verify that the product and the applica-
tion are compatible, if in doubt call Pro-
Lift Customer Support @ (816) 891-
6390.
2. Before using this product, read the
owner's manual completely and famil-
iarize yourself thoroughly with the prod-
uct, its components and recognize the
hazards associated with its use.
3. Using the stamped end of the provided
handle, engage and turn the release
valve counterclockwise no more than
1/2 full turns from a fully closed posi-
tion.
4. With saddle fully lowered, locate and
remove the oil filler plug. Insert the
handle into the handle sleeve, then

oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler
plug.
