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.
