To stabilize the oil it is recommended to

a load on it.
To release air from the hydraulic system:

° Open the release valve by turning the

jack handle counterclockwise, but

never by more than 1/2 full turns.

• Remove the air vent valve from the
cylinder. (see Fig. 4)

° Rapidly pump jack handle through

several full strokes.

° Replace the air vent valve into the

cylinder again and jack is now ready to
use.

BEFORE EACH USE

Make a visual inspection before each use

of the floor jack by checking for abnormal

conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks
and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
