Lowering the Ram Plunger
Caution:
Make certain that all personnel are clear of the load before lowering. Control the rate of descent of the load at all times.
The more you open the release valve (4) , the faster the load descends.
1.
Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands, then carefully remove jack stands (always used in pairs).
2.
Slowly turn the handle (8) counter-clockwise, but no more than 1 turn. If the load fails to lower:
a) Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b) Remove the affected jack and then the stands.
c) Lower the load by turning the release valve counter-clockwise, but no more than 1 turn.
3.
After removing jack from under the load, push ram and handle sleeve down to reduce exposure to rust and contamination.
