PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Omega Air Actuated Hydraulic Bottle Jack is designed to lift, not support, rated capacity loads consisting of one end
of a vehicle. Immediately after lifting, the load must be supported by a pair of appropriately rated jack stands. Ensure
that air source can dedicate 7.8 CFM @ 110-175 psi to each jack operated. A minimum of 150 psi air pressure is
required to raise rated capacity load.
!
WARNING: Never use a hydraulic jack as a stand alone device. After lifting, immediately support the lifted
load with a pair of appropriately rated jack stands.

PREPARATION

Before Use
1. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
2. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Omega Technical Service (888) 332-6419.
3. Assemble handle, ensure spring clips align with slots.
4. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, use the notched end of provided handle to engage and turn the release
valve:
a. Clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the 'CLOSED' release valve position used to
raise the ram plunger.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1 turn from the closed position. This is the 'OPEN' release valve
position used to lower the ram plunger.
5. With saddle fully lowered, and release valve closed, pump the operating handle. If lift arm responds immediately,
jack is ready for use. If jack does not respond, follow Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air procedure below.
6. Pour a teaspoon of good quality, air tool lubricant into the air supply inlet of the lift control valve. Connect to air
supply and squeeze lift control valve for 3 seconds to evenly distribute lubricant.
7. This product is equipped with the popular 1/4" NPT air coupler. When installing a different air coupler of your
choice, ensure that thread tape or compound is used when servicing connections. To ensure dependable, trouble
free operation an in-line air dryer and oiler is recommended.
8. Check that the pump operates smoothly and that the extension screw will thread up/down easily before putting
into service. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Omega authorized replacement parts only.
Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air
With the release valve in the OPEN position (4b above) and with ram plunger fully lowered, locate and remove the
oil filler screw. Insert the handle into the handle sleeve; then pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any
pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Oil level should be even with the bottom of the oil filler
hole. Reinstall the oil filler screw.
