Air may become trapped in the hydraulic system during transit. To purge air: 1. Open the release valve by rotating the handle counter-clockwise one full turn. 2. Place the handle in the handle socket and pump about 4 full strokes to purge the air from the pump and valving. 3. Close the release valve. Pump the handle until the jack has reached full extension. Continue to pump several times to purge air from under the ram. 4. Open the release valve and push ram into its lowest position. Close the release valve and operate normally. Note: If the jack responds immediately to pump action, it is free of air and ready for operation. If not, repeat procedure.

Before lifting, ALWAYS ensure that the load point is centred on the jack saddle and cannot slip. Off centre loads can become unstable and slip resulting in damage or injury. 4. Once secure on the jacking point, begin to raise load to desired height by pumping the handle. IMMEDIATELY support the vehicle by placing properly rated axle stands under a strong, stable point on the vehicle. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual and axle stand instruction manual for guidance.
