Troubleshooting
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Use caution when troubleshooting a malfunctioning jack. Stay well clear of the supported load.
Completely resolve all problems before use. If the solutions presented in the Troubleshooting guide
do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician inspect and repair the jack before use.
After the jack is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising and lowering it fully,
checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING THE JACK TO OPERATION.
DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING JACK!

B. Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil
to drain out of the Housing completely,
and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in
accordance with local regulations.
C. With the Jack upright, completely fill the
Housing with a high quality hydraulic oil (not

D. Open the valve by turning the Handle
counterclockwise and pump the Handle
to bleed air from the system.
E. Recheck oil level and re-fill as needed.
F. Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug.
7. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the
Jack in a safe, dry location out of reach of
children and other non-authorized people.
PROBABLE SOLUTION
(Make certain that the jack is not supporting a load while attempting a solution.)
Check that Release Valve is fully closed.
Bleed air from the system.
Valves may be blocked and may not close fully. To flush the valves:
1. Lower the Saddle and securely close the Release Valve.
2. Manually lift the saddle several inches.
3. Open the release valve and force the saddle down as quickly as possible.
