ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE
1. FEATURES & MODELS
The Borum Air Actuated Hydraulic Bottle Jack is designed to operate either manually or pneumatically
for lifting and lowering, but not sustaining load. This 50,000kg Heavy-Duty Air/Hydraulic Bottle Jack
is the perfect choice for a wide variety of uses. The power of air makes it easy to lift farm vehicles,
trucks, lawn mowers, heavy equipment and other large loads.The manual function allows for normal
operation anywhere, even without an air supply.
2. BEFORE USE
Conduct a thorough visual inspection checking for any abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds,
and damaged, loose, or missing parts. Bleed any trapped air from the hydraulic system by
performing the air bleeding procedure below.
Bleed Air from Hydraulic System:
During transit the unit may become "air-bound", causing a spongy ram action.
To bleed the hydraulic system;
1. Remove the Oil Filler Bung and if required, refill with *32 Grade
hydraulic oil until the oil is lapping the bottom of the Oil Filler Hole then
replace the Oil Filler Bung.
2. Start with the Pump Socket Assembly in the horizontal position and turn
the Release Valve ‘clockwise’ to the lifting position.
3. With the Jack on its base, pull the Pump Socket upwards to the raised
position.
4. Invert the Jack and push the Pump Socket back to the horizontal
position.
5. Place the Jack back on its base to test the Pump Socket for firmness.
6. Repeat steps 4 to 6 until the Pump Socket feels firm and the Lift Ram is
extending consistently.
7. At this point the Pump Assembly should be bled of air.
8. Follow steps 8 to 9 to bleed the Lift Ram.
9. Ensure the Jack is back on its base and make sure the Release Valve is
in the ‘clockwise’ raise mode, then pump the Pump Socket until the Lift
Ram is fully extended.
10. Invert the Jack and then turn the Release Valve ‘anti-clockwise’ to the
lowering position. Carefully hold the Jack in the inverted position until
the Lift Ram is fully retracted. If necessary apply force to the bottom of
the Jack to return the Lift Ram back to fully retracted position.
At this point both the Manual Pump and Lift Ram should now be free of air and the Jack
ready for Air Motor bleeding (See Below).

Bleed Air for Air Motor:
1. Remove the Oil Filler Bung and if required, refill with *32 Grade hydraulic
oil until the oil is lapping the bottom of the Oil Filler Hole.
2. Leave the Oil Filler Bung out, turn the Release Valve ‘clockwise’ to the lift
position and pump the Pump Socket ‘up and down’ to raise the Lift Ram to
full extension.
3. Replace the Oil Filler Bung, then turn the Release Valve ‘anticlockwise’ to the
lowering position until the Lift Ram returns to the fully lowered position.
(Note: Depress the Saddle where necessary)
4. Turn the Release Valve ‘clockwise’ to the raise position. Connect an air supply
to the Air Trigger assembly and depress the trigger, holding down until the
Lift Ram is fully extended.
5. Remove the Oil Filler Bung, then turn the Release Valve ‘anticlockwise’ to the
lowering position until the Lift Ram returns to the fully lowered position.
(Note: Depress the Saddle where necessary)
6. Replace the Filler Bung and turn the Release Valve ‘clockwise’ to the raise
position. Connect an air supply to the Air Trigger assembly and depress the
trigger, holding down until the Lift Ram has extended to full stroke then...
...continue to hold the trigger down for 10 seconds.
7. Turn the Release Valve ‘anticlockwise’ to the lowering position until the Lift
Ram returns to the fully lowered position. (Note: Depress the Saddle where
necessary)
At this point the Manual Pump, Air Motor Pump and Lift Ram should be free of air and
the Jack ready for Operation.
If the Jack continues to show the Symptoms as above, please refer to a Qualified
Hydraulic Technician.
3. OPERATION
Prior to each use always conduct a visual inspection checking for and any abnormal conditions, such
as cracked welds, and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
Raising the Jack:
1. Block the vehicle's wheels for lifting stability. Secure the load to prevent inadvertent shifting and
movement.
2. Position the jack near desired lift point.
3. Set the parking brake in the vehicle.
4. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner's manual to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle.
Position the jack so the saddle is centred and will contact the load lifting point firmly
5. Assemble the handle; ensure that spring clips align with slots.
6. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise until it is firmly closed.
