INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose
or missing parts. Any jack which appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally
MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs are made.
SETUP (Refer to page 6 to identify reference numbers)
1. Depress the spring button at the bottom of the reference number (62) handle half and insert it in the reference
number (60) lower handle half until the spring button engages the hole in the lower handle half.
2. Remove the reference number (54) handle set screw from the reference number (55) handle yoke. Install the
assembled handle into the reference number (55) handle yoke making sure the bottom of the handle engages the
release valve u-joint.
3. Install the reference number (54) handle set screw in the reference number (55) handle yoke and tighten the screw
to secure the handle in the yoke.
IMPORTANT: In most cases the jack should work normally right out of the box but it is not unusual for air to get trapped in
the jack’s hydraulic system during shipping and handling. There are several symptoms of an air trapped hydraulic system
which include only partial incremental pump stroke, jack will not lift load, jack will not sustain load or pumping feels spongy
under load. The following procedure will purge air from the hydraulic system and only needs to be done if experiencing the
above mentioned conditions.
a) The #36 saddle should be in its lowest position. Remove the oil filler plug in the reservoir of the #50 hydraulic power unit.
b) Look inside the oil fill plug hole. You should be able to see the top of the power unit’s cylinder. The hydraulic fluid level
should be no higher than the top of the cylinder. Correct the fluid level if it is not at the proper height. CAUTION: In
order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the jack.
Use hydraulic jack oil, a light turbine oil, Chevron Hydraulic Oil AW ISO 32 or Unocal Unax AW 150.
