9.0 PRESSURE GAUGE INSTALLATION
(GBJ100 ONLY)
A pressure gauge is used on Model GBJ100 only. The
gauge is shipped loose and must be installed prior to
jack operation. See Fig. 8.
Install the gauge as described in the following steps:
1. Be certain that the ram is fully retracted and that no
load is placed on the saddle.
2. Using a 17 mm open-end wrench, remove shipping
plug (A) from gauge port.
3. Be sure that O-Ring (B) is seated at the bottom of the
threaded port.
4. Position the gauge (C) over the port with the dial
facing out, toward the user.
5. While firmly holding the gauge housing so that it does
not move, thread the gauge swivel fitting into the port.
Tighten the fitting by hand using a 22 mm open-end
wrench.
To prevent damaging the O-Ring, do not
use a wrench extension when installing the gauge.
