UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

1. Remove the transit retaining clip by

springing it away from the yoke and

tie rod.

2. Loosen the bolt in the yoke until the

lower handle can be inserted fully

into the handle socket.

• The lower handle has a groove

which will engage with the bolt

once it is re-tightened.

• The socket in the handle will

engage with the jack control valve at the base of the yoke.

3. Tighten the bolt to secure the lower

handle to the jack.

4. Add the upper handle by sliding it

onto the lower handle until the spring

loaded plunger clips in place.

PURGING AIR FROM THE SYSTEM

If air bubbles become trapped inside the

hydraulic system during shipping or

transport, the efficiency of the jack will

be reduced and the jack will feel spongy.

1. Turn the control valve counter-

clockwise, relieving the pressure

inside the jack, then remove the

cover plate.

2. Pump the handle several times to

purge air from the system, while

pressing down on the filler plug when the air is expelled.

3. Turn the control valve clockwise and test the jack. If efficiency is still low, check

the oil level as described under Maintenance on page 6.

The jack is now ready to use.
