the reservoir for contamination. If you find dirt or grime in the reservoir or if the
drain oil appears dirty or feels gritty, simply flush the reservoir out with a clean
flushing solvent before refilling. (Be sure to dispose of used oil in accordance to
E.P.A. regulations.) Refill the reservoir using the recommended oil.
With jack fully retracted and in its normal position, fill the reservoir until the oil
level is even with the fill hole and reinstall fill plug. It is important that the oil level
be accurate. Be sure the oil level is even with fill hole.
Warning: Do not fill the reservoir unless the jack is fully retracted.
Before
returning the jack to service, fully extend the jack without a load by pumping the
lever socket by hand (no lever bar). If the oil is accurate, the lever socket will
become impossible to pump by hand when the jack reaches its full extension.
