OPERATIONS
RAISING A 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
1.
Place the jack on a hard level surface capable
of handling the load.
2.
Close the release valve.
3.
Insert the slotted end of the handle over the
valve and twist to the right.
4.
Insert the upper handle into the lower handle.
Insert the handle into the handle receiver.
5.
Pump to raise the saddle. Stop just before the
saddle contacts the load’s lift point. Inspect the
saddle’s position and adjust if necessary.
6.
Pump slowly until the saddle is supporting the load. Continue to pump as
normal to lift the load slightly higher than the desired height to allow
placement of the supports.
7.
Position supports, like jack stands, if the load will remain above ground
for an extended period. Consult the support device's manual for proper
placement. Also consult the section Raising and Lowering a Vehicle.
8.
Twist the valve to the left slowly to allow the ram to retract. Gradually
lower the load onto the supports.
9.
Once the supports are carrying the load, open the valve to allow the ram
to retract fully.
LOWERING A LOAD
WARNING! Dynamic shock loads are created by quick opening and
closing of the release valve when lowering the load. The resulting
overload may cause the hydraulic system to failure, which could result
in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING! Before lowering the load or vehicle, ensure that there are no
obstructions underneath and that all people are standing clear.
