Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the jack, ensure the mounting points of your engine hoist align with the clevis base of the ram. Always bleed the hydraulic system before first use to remove any trapped air that may have entered during shipping. To bleed the system, open the release valve and pump the handle several times, then close the valve and repeat the process. For maintenance, periodically inspect the chrome piston rod for rust or debris; wipe it clean with a silicone-based cloth to maintain smooth operation. Store the jack in a retracted, vertical position to prevent the seals from drying out or developing leaks. Use only high-quality hydraulic jack oil for refills.
