Troubleshooting 

This  section  is  a  list  of  potential  problems  and 
solutions.  If  the  solution  listed  fails  to  correct  the 
problem,  call  the  manufacturer  at  the  numbers  and 
address  printed  on  the  back  cover  of  this  manual. 
Please  have  the  model  number,  and  serial  number  of 
your  jack  available.  The  serial  number  is  permanently 
stamped  on  a  metal  tag  located 

above  the door  or  on 

the shroud at the top

Problem 

Cause/Solution 

Ram does not actuate 

 

Not  connected  to  air  supply. Connect  unit 
to  adequate  air  supply  (see  Installation 
instructions section of manual). 

 

Setscrew on door is not properly actuating 
the  control  valve.  Adjust  setscrew  (see 
Control 

Valve 

Actuation 

Adjustment 

section)

.

 

Inadequate crushing 

action 

 

Air  pressure  too  low.  100  psi  will 
adequately  crush  most  car  and  light  truck 
filters.  Heavy  truck  filters  require  a

 

minimum of 120 psi. 

 

Some  brands  or  models  of  oil  filters  are 
stronger  than  other  brands  and  therefore 
will not crush as flat. 

 

Excess  air  leakage.  Locate  source  of 
leak(s) and repair. 

 

Crushing  too  many  filters  at  one  time  or 
there  is  too  big  of  height  difference  in  the 
filters you are crushing at one time. Crush 
filters individually. 

Oil is running over the 

catch basin 

 

Make sure vehicle is in neutral and baking 
brake is disengaged. Always chock wheels 
on opposite end prior to lifting.
