TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION:
Disconnect the Bottle Jack from
its compressed air supply source
and use the Handle (41, 41b)
assembly to loosen the Release
Valve Screw (counterclockwise)
before performing any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning
procedures.
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the
general condition of the Bottle Jack.
Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, cracked or
broken parts, damaged Air Hose, and
any other condition that may affect its
safe operation.
2. AFTER USE, clean external surfaces
of the Bottle Jack with a clean, moist
cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use
solvents.
3. BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS: Before
each use or when the Bottle Jack
lacks in performance, make sure to
check for excessive air and proper
hydraulic oil level in the Bottle Jack.
If the Jack appears not to be working
properly, it may be necessary to purge
its hydraulic system of excessive air.
To do so:
a. Insert the Lower Handle (41) onto the
Release Valve Screw (4). Then turn
the Release Valve Screw 1-1/2 turns
counterclockwise releasing pressure.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
b. Remove the Filler Plug (15), and ll
the Reservoir (14) with hydraulic oil
(not included).
(See Assy. Diagram.)
c. Insert the Handle (41, 41b) into the
Handle Bracket (38). Then rapidly
pump the Handle several times to
purge air from the system.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
d. Insert the Lower Handle (41) onto the
Release Valve Screw (4). Then turn
the Release Valve Screw clockwise
until snug to hold pressure.
(See Assy. Diagram.)
e. Top off the Reservoir (14) with
hydraulic oil. Then replace the Filler
Plug (15). (See Assy. Diagram.)
f. 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.
4. WHEN STORING, always store the
Bottle Jack and its accessories in a
clean, dry, safe location out of reach
of children and other unauthorized
people.
