Assembly Instructions

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages,
refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.
Note: This air tool may be shipped with a protective plug covering the air inlet. Remove this plug before set up.

Assembly

1. Attach Adapter Holder (40) to the Lower Handle (18) with two U-Bolts (39) and Nuts (23). Refer to Figure A.

2. ighten Nuts to secure Adapter Holder to Handle.

3. Put height adjustment Saddle Adapters (41– 43) into the Adapter Holder (40) and lock each with an R-Pin (44). Refer to Figure A.

4. Put the Handle Assembly into Handle Socket and secure with Bolt (6). Refer to Figure B.

Air Supply

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION:
Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air to power this tool. Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.

1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge,oiler, in-line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for best service, as shown on Figure C on page 6 and Figure D on page 7. An in-line shutoff
   ball valve is an important safety device because it controls the air supply even if the air hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
   Note: If an automatic oiler system is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection before operation.
   Add a few more drops after each hour of continual use.

2. Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet.
   Connect the air hose to the Jack’s Air Inlet. Other components, such as a connector and quick coupler, will make operation more efficient, but are not mandatory.
   WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
   Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool. Such a coupler contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
   Note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can be hindered by undersized air supply components. The air hose must be long enough to reach
   the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

3. Turn the tool’s throttle or switch to the off position; refer to Operation section for description of controls.

4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between the compressor and the tool.

5. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer’s directions and allow it to build up pressure until it cycles off.

6. Adjust the air compressor’s output regulator so that the air output is enough to properly power the tool, but the output will not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure at any time. Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the air output gauge to set the right pressure range.

7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
   Repair any leaks found.

8. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position to prevent accidental operation.
   Note: Residual air pressure should not be present after the tool is disconnected from the air supply. However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting to ensure that the tool is disconnected and unpowered.

Bleeding Instructions

Before each use or if Bottle Jack performance decreases,
check for excessive air and proper hydraulic oil level in Bottle Jack. If Jack appears not to be working properly, it may be necessary to purge its hydraulic system of excessive air as follows:

1. Turn Knob completely clockwise.

2.  Release the Air Lever Lock and depress the Air Lever completely for a few seconds. Then turn the Knob 1- 1/2 turns counterclockwise, releasing pressure.

3. Remove the Filler Plug (22a), and fill the
   Reservoir (21a) with hydraulic oil (not included).

4. Depress the Air Lever completely for a few seconds to purge air.

5. Turn Knob clockwise until snug to hold pressure.

6. Top off the reservoir with hydraulic oil. Then replace the Filler Plug.
   IMPORTANT: After bleeding the Bottle Jack, test the Jack for proper operation prior to its actual use.
   Note: To prevent damage to the Bottle Jack, check for excessive air and/or low hydraulic oil regularly.

Operation

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

WARNING
Park vehicle on a flat, level, solid, surface safely away from oncoming traffic. Turn off the vehicle’s engine. Place the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK” (if automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual).
Set the vehicle’s emergency brake. Then, chock the wheels that are not being lifted.

Raising a Vehicle

Note: Safety shutoff prevents lifting in excess of rated load.

1. Pull Handle Lever to reposition handle as desired.

2.  Turn Knob completely clockwise to its locked position. Then connect an air hose (not included) to the Air Inlet.

3. Depress the Air Lever until the Saddle of the Bottle Jack has nearly reached the vehicle lifting point. Position the Jack at 90° to the vehicle’s lifting point to ensure the Bottle Jack’s Saddle and vehicle lifting point are in alignment. If not, remove and then reposition the Bottle Jack before lifting.

4. To lift the vehicle, continue to depress the Air Lever. Once the vehicle is lifted, place the Air Lever Lock in its locked position.

5. Set properly-rated jack stands (not included) to the same minimum practical height according to the manufacturer’s instructions, making sure they lock securely into position.

6. Position the jack stand saddles under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended support points.
   WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Ensure that the vehicle support points are fully seated in the saddles of both jack stands. Use a matched pair of jack stands per vehicle to support one end only.

7. Slowly turn the Knob counterclockwise to ease the vehicle onto the jack stands.

Lowering a Vehicle

1. Remove all tools, old vehicle parts, etc. from under the vehicle.

2.  Turn Knob completely clockwise.

3.  Release the Air Lever Lock and depress the
   Air Lever to raise the vehicle slightly above the jack stand saddles. Carefully remove the jack stands from under the vehicle.

4. Slowly turn Knob counterclockwise (not more than one full turn) to lower the vehicle.

5. To prevent accidents, lower the Jack completely and disconnect its air supply after use. Clean, then store the Jack indoors out of children’s reach.

Inspection, Maintenance, & Cleaning

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for:

   • loose hardware or housing
   • misalignment or binding of moving parts
   • damaged air hose
   • cracked or broken parts
   • any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

2. AFTER USE, clean external surfaces of the Jack with a clean, moist cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use solvents.

3. WHEN STORING, turn Release Valve counterclockwise to its open position. Store the Jack and its accessories in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and other unauthorized people.

4. DAILY – Air Supply Maintenance:
   Every day, maintain the air supply according to the component manufacturers’ instructions. Drain the moisture filter regularly.
   Performing routine air supply maintenance will allow the tool to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the tool.

5. Periodically, check the condition of the hydraulic fluid. Change the hydraulic fluid as needed through the Fill Plug. Thoroughly bleed Jack after changing fluid.

Troubleshooting

WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH:
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!
