1. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise.
2. Pump the handle to lift the vehicle off the jack stands.
3. Remove the jack stands. Do not go under or let anyone else go under the vehicle.

Jack Storage
Always store the jack in the fully lowered position to prevent excessive corrosion in critical areas.

Maintenance
Monthly maintenance is recommended for the bottle jack.

Checking Oil Level
WARNING: Do not use brake or transmission fluids, or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals. Only use hydraulic jack oil labeled for this purpose.

1. Turn the release valve counterclockwise to allow the ram to fully retract.
2. Stand the jack in a vertical position with the saddle at the top.
3. Remove the oil fill plug and check if the oil level is even with the bottom of the hole. If not, top up with new, clean hydraulic jack oil. Do not overfill.
4. Replace the fill plug.
5. Check the jack’s operation. If needed, consult the troubleshooting section for system air purge.

4. Turn the release valve clockwise to closed position. Do Not Overtighten!
5. Pump the handle and raise the vehicle to the desired height.
6. Place jack stands beneath the vehicle at locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and do not get under the vehicle without jack stands, as jacks are not designed to maintain these heavy loads for long time periods.

MAINTENANCE

Monthly maintenance is recommended.
Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc., can cause either slow movement or extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components. The following steps are those designed to keep your jack well lubed:

1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
2. Visually inspect for cracked, bent, loose, or missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
3. If jack is subjected to abnormal load or shock, remove from service and have it examined by an Authorized Repair Service.
4. Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
5. Check and maintain oil level.

CHECKING OIL LEVEL

WARNING!! Do not use brake or transmission fluids, or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals. Always purchase and use products labeled “Hydraulic Jack Oil”.

1. Turn release valve counterclockwise to allow ram to fully retract. It may be necessary to apply force to the saddle for lowering.
2. Stand jack in vertical position with saddle at the top.
3. With jack in level position remove oil fill plug. Oil should be even with the bottom of the hole. If not, top up. Do not overfill. Always fill with new, clean hydraulic jack oil.
4. Replace fill plug.
5. Check jack operation.
   At this time, consult Troubleshooting for System Air Purge.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• System Air Purge
• Turn release valve counterclockwise one full turn to open.
• Pump handle eight full strokes
• Turn release valve clockwise to close valve.
• Pump handle until the saddle reaches maximum height and continue pumping several times to remove trapped air in the ram.
• Turn release valve counterclockwise one full turn and lower saddle to the lowest position. Use force if necessary.
• Turn release valve clockwise to closed position and check for proper pump action. It may be necessary to perform the above more than once to assure air is evacuated totally.
