SAFETY
W ARNING
DO NOT forget to position leg latches
on cross-axle. Leg latches MUST be
in DOWN position and IN THE HOLE
at rear of leg. These leg latches prevent the legs from being withdrawn
when moving lift. (On Knock-Down
Lifts only).
NEVER use lift on anything other than
a firm level surface.
DO NOT use the jack handle to move
the lift when handle is in pump socket.
Doing so will break the pump plunger .
NEVER push the boom up by hand.
Read all maintenance and service instructions before attempting work.
ALWAYS use the jack to raise the
boom.
ALWAYS use the moving handle to
move the lift.
Make sure that the boom is fully lowered before adding oil to unit reservoir .
Use EXTREME CARE when carrying
load or unloading jack so release
valve is not damaged.

INSTRUCTIONS
TOWING:
1. Release jack to lower boom to the lowest point.
2. Place chain hook into hookup point at center
of base of the lift.
3. Take up slack in chain by placing lock chain
into the rear grab hook on boom.
4. Pump the jack up until chain is tight.
The above instructions will:
• Prevent the boom from “jackknifing” when be-
ing towed. Other wise the jack can become
inoperative because of air being pulled under
the plunger (ram).
• Position the boom correctly so that the cou-
pler is horizontal to the ground and at the proper
height for towing.
STORAGE:
1. Clean unit.
2. Cover all scratches with touch up paint.
3, Grease all wheels so they turn freely.
4. Store jack indoors.
3 & 5 TON JACKS:
These jacks are manufactured exclusively for the
use on BlueBird hydraulic lifts. The finest available,
it incorporates two unique features: An internal
safety bypass valve and a slow release valve.
The bypass valve is set at the factory and SHOULD
NOT BE TAMPERED WITH. This valve becomes
operative as the load reaches the capacity of the
lift. It then bypasses the hydraulic fluid from the
pump into the reservoir so that no greater pressure may be exerted on the ram, regardless of the
load being lifted. This averts possible damage to
the jack or the lift itself.
The specially engineered slow release valve is
designed to provide the operator with complete
control when lowering the load. This restricts the
return flow of hydraulic fluid so the load will never
drop suddenly or too fast. To aid in the prevention
of accidental removal or the possibility of over tightening of the release valve, a STOP has been
welded to the jack mounting plate. Never remove
the stop, if it should become damaged or broken
off, replace immediately.
LIFT MAINTENANCE:
1. Grease wheels and casters periodically to insure free movement.
2. For jack maintenance, see jack maintenance
section.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
The unique design of the BlueBird hydraulic jacks eliminates nearly all the problems normally associated with hydraulic jacks. There are very few areas that will render your jack inoperative. Here are the
most common and their remedies: (refer to parts list for part identification).
Symptom Cause Remedy
Spongy action when lifting load Air under ram Bleed air from jack.
Will not pump up Air lock Bleed air from jack.
Oil level is too low or too high Check oil level adjust oil to proper level.
Large ball check not reseating Reseat large ball.
Release valve ball missing or Inspect for damaged or missing ball re-
damaged place if necessary (part # 4333).
Pump plunger cup (part # 4346) Inspect cups and replace as necessary .
or Ram plunger cup (part # 4326
for 3 Ton or 4426 for 5 Ton)
damaged or worn
Load descends slowly , jack Large ball check not seating Reseat large ball
handle raises during this (part # 6048)
process
Foreign matter interfering with Drain and flush jack,
large ball check Inspect and reseat large ball
Load descends slowly , jack Release valve (part # 4334) not Close release valve, inspect for
