WARNING
When trying to troubleshoot a malfunctioning jack, the utmost caution must be exercised. Always stay well clear of all
loads that are being supported.
Make certain that all operational problems with the bottle jack are fully resolved 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 it and lowering it fully, checking for proper operation,
BEFORE RETURNING THE JACK TO OPERATION.
NEVER USE A MALFUNCTIONING JACK!
