Maintenance

Keep the hydraulic rams clean and free of any
dust, dirt, or foreign debris. Abrasive material
stuck to the ram can damage the hydraulic seal
when the ram is retracted back into the jack.
Regularly wipe the hydraulic rams clean with a
lightly oiled rag.

The Model H8093 will require hydraulic fluid after
long-term use. This will be noticeable if the jack
will not reach its maximum height when pumped.
Only use a high quality hydraulic fluid.

To add hydraulic fluid:

1. Completely lower the jack.

2. Remove the top cover plate from the jack and

remove the fill plug shown in

Figure 2.

Bleeding the Air

If the jack becomes spongy or will not rise when
pumped, then air bubbles may be in the hydraulic
system.

To remove the air bubbles:

1. Remove the fill plug.

2. Rotate the pump valve knob counterclock-

wise one full turn.

3. Pump the jack quickly ten times to purge the

air from the system.

4. Replace the fill plug and test the operation of

the jack.

—If the jack did not perform properly, then air

may need to be bled from the pump system
again.

3. Add fluid until it reaches the top of the fill plug

hole.

4. Replace the fill plug.

5. Test the operation of the jack by pumping

it up to the maximum height and applying a
load. The jack should hold the weight of the
load without a sinking or spongy feeling.

—If the jack did not perform properly, then

air may need to be bled from the pump
system.
