OWNER'S MANUAL
If lift does not rise to full height:
It probably requires oil. (Check with lift in down
position.) To fill cylinder with oil, follow these
instructions.
There are two pipe plugs in the cylinder, Part No.
M427 (Vent Plug) and part No. M428 (Oil Level
Plug). Remove both plugs.
Put a good grade of hydraulic jack oil in the cylinder
through the top hole. When the oil reaches the level
of the bottom hole, replace both plugs. TOP PLUG
IS A BREATHER PLUG, BE SURE TO REPLACE
PLUGS IN THEIR PROPER PLACES.
If lift does not hold load, or tends to drift down-
ward under a load:
Dirt particle may be obstructing seating of the
valve, allowing leakage.
If dirt particle is obstructing seating of the
valve:
Open release valve by pressing down on release
pedal. At the same time, pump foot lever three or
four strokes. Do this three or four times. Then place
some weight on the platform or forks and pump foot
