PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS
• Check vehicle owner's manual for correct vehicle weight and jacking points.
• Do not exceed the safe working load limit listed on the jack.
• Use only on a hard, flat, level surface that will sustain the vehicle weight.
• Apply the vehicle parking brake and securely chock wheels remaining on the ground.
• Inspect the jack prior to every use and do not use if parts are worn or jack is damaged.
• Lift only under an appropriate strong position on the vehicle, as specified in the vehicle owner's manual.
• Centre the load prior to lifting and do not move or dolly the vehicle whilst on this jack.
• The jack is a lifting device only. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with AS Approved jack stands.

ASSEMBLY, OPERATION & PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. FEATURES
The TradeQuip Hydraulic Bottle Jack is designed specifically for lifting and lowering, but not sustaining load. This unit provides
enough lifting power for use with most automotive and farm vehicles, heavy duty machinery, industrial construction
equipment and more. Its low profile design get’s you out of tight situations with ease.
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 purge 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.
3. Turn the release valve clockwise to the lifting position.
4. With the jack on its base pull the pump socket upwards to the raised position.
5. Invert the jack and push the Pump Socket Assembly back to the horizontal position.
6. Place the jack on its base.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 6 until the Pump Lever feels firm and the lift ram is extending.
8. At this point the Pump Assembly should be bled of air. Follow steps 9 to 10 to purge the Lift Ram
9. Ensure the jack is on its base and make sure the Release Valve is still in raise mode, pump the lift
ram to full extension.
10. Pump the Pump Socket Assembly a further ten strokes. The air trapped in the lift ram will vent to
the reservoir through the Overstroke Protection Port built into the lift ram barrel positioned at
the end of the lift ram stroke.
11. Turn the Release valve to the lowering position.
12. Apply force to the lift ram to the fully retracted position.
At this point both the Pump and Lift Ram should be free of air and the Jack ready for operation.
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.
The Jack operates when the release valve is closed, an upward stroke of the jack handle draws hydraulic oil from the reservoir
tank into the plunger cavity. A downward stroke of the jack handle releases hydraulic oil into the cylinder, which forces the
ram up. This raises the saddle. When the ram reaches its maximum extension, oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to prevent
over extended ram and possible damage to the jack. Opening the release valve allows oil to flow back into the reservoir. This
releases hydraulic oil pressure on the ram, which results in the lowering of the saddle.
To Lift the Vehicle:
1. Block the vehicle's wheels for lifting stability. Secure the load to prevent inadvertent shifting and movement.
2. Position the jack near the specified 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. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise until it is firmly closed.
6. Before raising the vehicle double check and verify the saddle is centred and also has full contact with the lifting point.
7. Pump the handle to lift until the saddle makes contact with the vehicle. Then continue to pump the jack handle to lift the
vehicle to the desired height. Then immediately support the load with the appropriately rated jack support stands before
working on the vehicle.
To Lower Vehicle:
1. Turn the release valve counter-clockwise to the closed position.
2. Raise load high enough to allow clearance for the jack stands to be removed, then carefully remove jack stands.
3. DO NOT get under or let anyone else under vehicle whilst lowering.
4. Carefully turn the release valve knob SLOWLY counter clockwise to lower vehicle onto the ground.

4. MAINTENANCE
If you use and maintain your equipment properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the maintenance instructions
carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never perform any maintenance on the equipment while it is
under a load.
Oil Level:
The level of oil should be maintained a maximum of 6mm below filler cap. Top up with quality hydraulic ISO VG32 oil. DO
NOT use brake/trans fluid or engine oil. Regularly drop oil into the air supply inlet prior to use.
Inspection: Inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g: pins) and that all components function before
each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product performance.
Binding: If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or larger load capacity to lower the load safely to
the ground. After un-binding clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working properly. Rusty components, dirt, or worn
parts can be causes of binding. Clean and lubricate the equipment as indicated in the lubrication section. Test the equipment
by lifting without a load.
Cleaning: If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to clean the
equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant.
Lubrication: This equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the equipment without proper
lubrication will result in poor performance and damage to the equipment. Some parts in this equipment are not self-
lubricating. After cleaning, lubricate the equipment using a high grade light penetrating oil or lubricating spray.
• Use a good lubricant on all moving parts
• For light duty use, lubricate once a month
• For heavy and constant use, lubrication is recommenced every week.
• NEVER use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces.
Rust Prevention: Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load on the equipment extend hydraulic rams to check if signs of rust are visible, clean as needed.
Storage:
• Always store the jack with the ram fully retracted
• Ensure the jack handle is in the up position
• Always store in a dry location, preferably indoors
WARNING - Top up with quality hydraulic ISO VG32 oil.
DO NOT use brake/trans fluid or engine oil.
5. SERVICE & REPAIR
