Raising and Lowering
1. To raise the Hydraulic Jack turn the Release Valve (18) clockwise until the valve is tightly

Hydraulic System Bleeding Instructions
If the Hydraulic Jack begins to lose power and efficiency, it may be a result of air being trapped
in the hydraulic system. Follow the steps shown below to bleed the air from the hydraulic system.
Caution: Make certain that the Hydraulic Jack is not under load while bleeding the system.
1. Remove oil chamber’s Oil Plug (11).
2. Pump the Handle (26) to raise the Jack to its highest position. Open the Release Valve (18).
Release the Handle (26) to lower the Jack. Repeat pumping the Handle a number of times to
force the hydraulic oil through the system.

it is working properly.
