Assemble the two handle halves together and secure themwith the hex head bolt provided.2. Remove the handle receiver bolt and lockwasher from thehandle receiver. Install the handle in the handle receiver so thehexagonal portion of the release valve enters the hexagonalshaped insert at the bottom of the handle. Once the handle isinserted in the handle base all the way, secure the handle to thehandle base with the bolt and lockwasher provided. The bolt willenter the groove at the bottom of the handle thus allowing thehandle to rotate but not be removed.3. Sometimes air gets trapped in the hydraulic system duringshipment. An air bound hydraulic system feels spongey whenpumped and sometimes the jack will not pump full incrementalstrokes.PURGING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEMa. Open the release valve by turning the handle in acounterclockwise direction two full turns. Pump the handleup and down about fifteen times.b. Close the release valve by turning the handle in a clockwisedirection until it stops.c. Pump the handle until the lift arm is extended to maximumheight.d.
