Tool:
If tool has been exposed to water, sand or dirt,
clean unit before storage. The tool should be
stored in a vertical position. If the tool has been
stored for a year or more, sequence and check
system before use. When not in use, store tool
fully retracted. Inspect system before use and
storage.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
To use the RABBIT TOOL, insert jaws of tool
between door and jamb, as shown. If there is
not enough space for jaws (1/4 in.) create a
larger opening with pry bar or strike jaw anvil
with hammer provided.
To operate quick disconnect couplings, push the quick
disconnect connectors from pump and hose together.
Rotate the coupling sleeve 1/4 to 1/2 turn to lock the con-
nection.
While holding RABBIT TOOL in place, activate tool by
turning pump relief valve knob toward hose and pumping
handle up and down.
To relieve pressure and close tool, turn relief valve knob
toward rear of pump. Tool will retract automatically.

Handpump:
Before checking fluid level, retract tool to prevent overfilling
system. Pump should be drained and refilled with Jaws of
Life® fire-resistant phosphate ester hydraulic fluid after
every 300 hours of use. Wipe pump exterior clean before
draining and refilling pump.
To Refill:
Remove filler plug and insert a clean filter funnel. Position
the pump head down and filler hole up. The reservoir is a
sealed type and overfilling is hazardous, so be sure the tool
is fully retracted (closed) when adding fluid to the reservoir.
To check for over fill, set the pump on its base without the
filler plug installed and allow any excess fluid to drain. Keep
pump and tool clean. Make certain all hose connections
are kept free from grit and dirt. Check fluid level every 10
hours of use.
