IMPORTANT: Prior to use, check for
proper hydraulic oil level in the Bottle
Jack. (See page 9)
Thoroughly test the Jack for proper 4.
operation prior to its actual use. If
the Jack appears not to be working
properly, it may be necessary to
purge its hydraulic system of air. To
do so:
Turn Knob (6.11) counterclockwise a.
until snug. (See Assembly Dia-
gram.)
Wipe Filler Plug area with a clean b.
and lint free rag. Remove the Filler
Plug (1.19), and ll the Cylinder
Base (1.14) reservoir with hydraulic
oil (not included). (See Assembly
Diagram.)
Rapidly pump the Handle several c.
times to purge air from the system.
(See Assembly Diagram.)
Then turn the Knob (6.11) clockwise d.
until snug. (See Assembly Dia-
gram.)
Top off the Cylinder Base (1.14) e.
reservoir with hydraulic oil if needed.
Note: Oil level should reach the
edge of oil ll hole. Then replace the
Filler Plug (1.19); and wipe the jack’s
exterior. (See Assembly Diagram.)
IMPORTANT: After bleeding the Bottle
Jack, test the unit to ensure it op-
erates properly.
Make5. sure the vehicle is parked on a
at, level, solid, ground surface.
Turn off the vehicle’s engine. Place 6.
the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK”
(if automatic) or in it lowest gear (if
manual). Set the emergency brake.
Then chock the wheels that are not
being lifted.
Check to make sure the Bottle Jack 7.
is fully lowered. If not, turn the Knob
(6.11) counterclockwise to lower the
Jack. Once the Jack’s ram is fully
lowered, turn the Knob clockwise to
close the Release Valve (3.23). (See
Assembly Diagram.)
Carefully position the Saddle (1.2) 8.
of the Bottle Jack under the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended lifting
point. (See vehicle manufacturer’s
manual for location of seam lifting
point when lifting only one wheel and
frame lifting points when lifting the
entire front or rear end of the vehicle.)
(See Assembly Diagram.)
To raise the vehicle manually:
Pump the Handle Assembly until the 1.
top of the Bottle Jack’s Saddle (1.2)
has nearly reached the vehicle lifting
point. The Jack should be positioned
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 reposition the Jack
before lifting.
To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle 2.
assembly using smooth, full strokes.
(See Assembly Diagram.)
To raise the vehicle, using
compressed air:
Check to make sure the Knob (6.11) 1.
assembly is in its locked position
(fully turned clockwise). Then con-
nect an air hose (not included) to the
Air Valve Assembly (5). (See Assem-
bly Diagram.)
