Adding oil
1. To check hydraulic oil level, remove unit from lift,
place unit upright on a stable, level surface. Remove
oil filler plug.
2. Oil should be even with Filler Plug hole. If low, add
high quality hydraulic jack oil ONLY.
3. Reinstall Filler Plug and Bottle Jack into receiver of
lift. Secure with provided hardware.
Changing oil
To get the longest life possible out of your lift, change
the hydraulic oil after 7 years of use, sooner if used in
a dust and grit filled environment. Do not expose to
moisture. Dry lift completely if it gets wet. Check pump
piston and ram of hydraulic unit periodically for signs of
rust and corrosion. Clean mildly affected areas with a
clean oily cloth. Never use abrasives on the pump piston
and ram surfaces.
