The bottle jack comes preassembled. The handles (#58 and #59) fit together and can be locked into place

OPERATION
WARNING! Inspect the bottle jack immediately if it was subject to an abnormal load or shock. Remove
the jack from service if damaged in any way, until repaired by a qualified technician.
PREPARATION
1. Before first use of this product, pour a teaspoon of good quality air tool oil into the hose
connector (#57) of the air inlet fitting. Connect it to the air source, turn on the air valve and
work for 3 seconds to evenly distribute lubricant.
2. Purge trapped air from the hydraulic system (see Maintenance).
3. Use the slotted end of the narrow handle to turn the release valve (#04) clockwise until it is
firmly closed.
4. Place the jack into position and adjust the extension screw (#13.1) as needed.
RAISING THE LOAD
1. Make sure both the jack and the load are on a hard level surface.
a. If raising a vehicle follow these steps:
i.
Apply the parking and emergency brake.

is lifted.
iii. Check in your vehicle owner’s manual for the location of the recommended lift points
and position bottle jack under one of those locations.
2. Connect the air inlet fitting into the shop air supply hose lock fitting, then turn on the air valve.
3. Raise the load to the desired height, then turn off the air valve.
a. When air source is not available, insert the big end of the handle into the handle bracket
(#34). Pump it manually to raise the load to desired height.
4. Immediately use a pair of jack stands with adequate capacity to support the load.
WARNING! Do not place any part of your body under the load without jack stands in place. The bottle
jack is not designed to maintain heavy loads for long periods of time
