Component Identification

release Knob

The release knob has a “Hold-to-Run

” feature that utilizes a heavy-duty return spring to automatically close 

the release valve when the operator “lets go” of the release knob. With this feature, the operator should 

never have to physically close the valve by turning the release knob in a clockwise direction.

A mechanical stop prevents turning the release knob more than 1/2 turn counterclockwise. WarnIng! 

Never remove this mechanical stop. NEVER force the release knob more than 1/2 turn counterclockwise as doing 

this may damage the release knob’s return spring.

If the valve ever behaves as if it is not completely closing (e.g., the jack won’t raise or won’t hold a load), the 

operator may gently turn the release knob in a clockwise direction until resistance is felt. The jack should 

then raise when the lift arm is pumped. If it doe not, please call customer service at one of the numbers 

shown on the back cover of this manual for assistance.
