Proceed as follows to remove air from
the hydraulic system:
1. Place the rod
7
with oval opening on to
the release valve
5
and turn the rod anti-
clockwise (Fig. C) until the support plate
1
is fully lowered.
2. Pull the oil plug
8
out of the oil reservoir.
3. Guide the lifting handle
6
into the lifting
handle socket
3
and pump it up and down
several times to allow any air to escape.
4. Place the rod
7
with oval opening on to
the release valve
5
and turn the rod clock-
wise (Fig. C). The release valve
5
is now
closed again.
5. Replace the oil plug
8
back into the oil
reservoir opening.
6. If necessary, repeat steps 1–5 until all the
air has escaped.
Q
Storing
Place the rod
7
with oval opening on to
the release valve
5
and turn the rod anti-
clockwise (Fig. C) until the support plate
1
is fully lowered.
Screw the extension screw
2
completely
down into the jack body.
Store the hydraulic vehicle jack and the lifting
handle in a dry environment and protected
from moisture.
Ensure that the support plate
1
is fully
lowered and the extension screw
2
is com-
pletely screwed in before you put away the
vehicle jack. This will prevent the oil escap-
ing from the oil plug
8
.
Grease all moving parts on the vehicle jack
regularly to prevent corrosion.
