2. Slowly turn the handle counterclockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn.
If the load fails to lower:

MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil.Avoid mixing different types of fluid andNever use brake fluid,
turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause failure of the jack and the potential for
suddenand immediate lossofload. We recommendHein-WernerHW93291 hydraulic oilorequivalent.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove oil filler plug.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove the oil filler plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug.
Lubrication
A coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that wheels,
castersand pump assemblies movefreely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily
cloth.
Note: Neveruse sandpaper orabrasivematerial on these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.
