Lowering the Ram Plunger
Caution: Make certain that all personnel are clear of the load before lowering. Control the rate of descent of the load at all times.
The more you rotate the release knob (1) , the faster the load descends.
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands (not included), then carefully remove jack stands (always used in pairs).
2. Slowly turn the release knob (1) counter-clockwise, but no more than 1 full turn. If the load fails to lower:
a) Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b) Remove the affected jack and then the stands.
c) Lower the load by turning the release knob (1) counter-clockwise, but no more than 1 full turn.
3. After removing jack from under the load, push ram and handle sleeve down to reduce exposure to rust and contamination.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Caution: Prior to making any adjustments ensure the compressor is turned off and unplugged, and the air hose (2) are stationary.
Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of the regular operation of the
air-operated tool.
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for:
a) loose hardware or housing,
b) misalignment or binding of moving parts,
c) cracked or broken parts, and
d) any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
2. Daily - Air Supply Maintenance:
a) Every day, maintain the air supply according to the component manufacturers’ instructions.
Drain the moisture filter regularly.
b) Performing routine air supply maintenance will allow the tool to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the tool.
3. Quarterly (every 3 months) –
Tool Disassembly, Cleaning, and Inspection: Have the internal mechanism cleaned, inspected, and lubricated by a
qualified technician.
4. Periodically check the air and hydraulic fittings for leaks. Repair if any leak is detected.
5. Periodically lubricate all moving points of the Jack.
6. The Hydraulic Ram should be kept clean, free of dirt and water, and protected from corrosion.
7. Oil Replacement:
a) Place Jack in an upright position.
b) Completely lower the Ram.
c) Remove the Oil Filler Plug (Fig 16) and keep it clean.
d) Fill Reservoir with Kincrome hydraulic jack oil, (K12400) to the lower rim of the oil fill hole.
