OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BLEEDING
LIFTING
1. Remove the Bottle Jack from the ATV/Mower Lift.
2. Locate the oil fill plug on the side of the Bottle Jack and remove it.
3. Drain the old oil from the hydraulic system.
4. Fill the hydraulic system with new high quality hydraulic oil; fill to the lower edge of the fill hole.
5. Bleed air from the hydraulic system.
6. Top off the hydraulic system with more oil and replace the oil fill plug.
7. Test the Jack several times for proper operation before attempting to lift a load. If the Jack still
does not appear to be working properly after bleeding, do not use the Jack until it has been
repaired by a qualified service technician.
1. Set Jack and vehicle on a flat, level, hard, ground surface safely away from oncoming traffic. Turn o
vehicle’s engine. Also place the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK” (if automatic) or in its lowest gear
(if manual). Set the vehicle’s emergency brake. Then, block the wheels that are not being lifted.
2. Determine the wheel width of the ATV/mower, and adjust the Wheel Bracket supports to match that
width. Lock them in place using the Width Pins. WARNING! Adjust them so that they are equally
distant from the center of the Jack, or else the Jack will be unstable and might tip.
3. Examine the bottom of each ATV/mower wheel that is touching the floor. Adjust the depth of both
Wheel Brackets to be slightly larger than that distance.
4. Turn the release valve counterclockwise to lower the Jack. Once the Jack is fully lowered, then turn
the release valve clockwise completely.
5. Use the ATV/mower’s steering to straighten its wheels. Use wheel chocks (sold separately) to block
the wheels on the opposite side of the mower/ATV.
6. Press the fronts of the Wheel Brackets straight against the fronts of the ATV/mower’s wheels. Push
the Wheel Brackets under the wheels until both wheels rest in the center of the Wheel Bracket.
7. Place the two Safety Lock Levers in the closed, locked position to enable the locking mechanism.
8. Pump the Handle, use smooth, full strokes for best results.
9. Raise the vehicle to the desired height. As the load is lifted the locking mechanism will automatically
engage to lock the Lift Arm in one of three positions.
10 . Make sure the Lift Arm is locked in one of the three available positions before working on the
ATV/mower.
WARNING! Set Jack and vehicle on a flat, level, hard, ground surface safely away from oncoming
traffic. Turn off vehicle’s engine. Also place the vehicle’s transmission in “PARK” (if automatic) or in its
lowest gear (if manual). Set the vehicle’s emergency brake. Then, block the wheels that are not being lifted.
IMPORTANT! Before first use, check for proper hydraulic fluid level in the Ram.
Then thoroughly test the Jack for proper operation prior to its actual use.
If the Jack appears not to be working properly, it may be necessary
to bleed its hydraulic system of excess air.
Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this document
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a
qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Do not use damaged
equipment.

a. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the Fluid Fill Plug on the side of the Ram housing.
b. With assistance, tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic fluid to drain out of the Ram housing completely,
and dispose of the old hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
