Bleeding the Bottle Jack
IMPORTANT!
Before first use, check for proper
hydraulic oil level in the Jack. Then thoroughly
test the Jack for proper operation prior to its
actual use. If the Jack appears
not
to be working
properly, it may be necessary to
bleed
its hydraulic
system of excess air. To bleed the Bottle Jack:
1. Remove the Oil Filler Plug. Insert the slot on the
lower portion of the Jack Handle over the Release
Valve Screw. Turn the Handle counterclockwise
to open the Release Valve. See Figure G.

2. Insert the Handle into the Plunger/Fulcrum
Assembly. Apply pressure to the Saddle, and
pump the Handle quickly several times.
3. Check the Oil Fill Hole and, if necessary,
top off the Oil Fill Hole with hydraulic oil.
4. Replace the Oil Filler Plug.
5. Place the slot on the Jack Handle over the
Release Valve Screw. Turn the Handle
clockwise to close the Release Valve.
6. Test the Jack several times before putting into use.
If, after purging, the Jack still does not appear to
be working properly, do not use the Jack until it has
been repaired by a qualified service technician.
