PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Blackhawk Automotive 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.
Never use 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. Verify that the product and the application are compatible, if in doubt contact Customer Support (816)891-6390.
2. 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.
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 1/2 turn from the closed position. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve
position used to lower the ram plunger.
5. With ram plunger fully retracted, locate and remove the oil filler plug/screw. Insert the handle into the handle sleeve,
then pump 6 to 8 strokes. This will help release any pressurized air, which may be trapped within the reservoir.
Ensure the oil level is just below the oil filler hole. Reinstall the oil filler plug/screw.
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 operate 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 inline 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 Blackhawk Automotive 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 plug/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 plug/screw.

OPERATION
Raising the Ram Plunger
1. Assemble handle, ensure that spring clips align with slots.
2. Place vehicle in the park, with emergency brake on and wheel securely chocked to prevent inadvertent vehicle
movement.
3. Locate and close release valve by turning handle clockwise until firm resistance is felt to further thread
engagement.
4. Verify lift point, center jack saddle under lift point.
5. Squeeze the lift control valve or insert handle into handle sleeve and pump to contact lift point. To lift, continue
pumping until load reaches desired height. DO NOT OPERATE BY AIR AND BY HAND PUMPING AT THE
SAME TIME.
6. Immediately secure lifted load with appropriately rated jack stands.
Use only the handle provided by jack manufacturer. The handle provided with this jack will safely engage
the release valve and operate the handle sleeve. If handle is worn, operates abnormally, or will not positively
engage the release valve, STOP, discontinue use of the jack until a factory replacement handle can be acquired.
Do not use an extender on the air hose or the operating handle.
Lowering
Make certain that all personnel are clear of the load before lowering. Control the rate of descent of the
load at all times. The more you open the release valve, the faster the load descends.
1. Raise load high enough to clear the jack stands, then carefully remove jack stands (always used in pairs).
2. Slowly turn the handle counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn. If the load fails to lower:
a. Use another jack to raise the vehicle high enough to reinstall jack stands.
b. Remove the affected jack and then the stands.
c. Lower the load by turning the release valve counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 turn.
3. After removing jack from under the load, push ram and handle sleeve down to reduce exposure to rust and
contamination.

MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid,
turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the
potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend Hein-Werner HW93291 or equivalent.
Adding oil
1. With ram plunger fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, set jack in its upright, level position. Remove oil
filler screw/plug.
2. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil filler screw/plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler screw/plug.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With ram plunger fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, remove the oil filler screw/plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.
3. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil filler screw/plug hole. Reinstall the oil filler screw/plug.
Lubrication
1. A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
pump assemblies move freely.
2. When used on a daily basis, air pump should be internally lubricated before each use. Use only good quality air
tool lubricant. If no inline oiler is used, pour a teaspoon of air tool oil into the inlet of the air control valve. Simply
operate the jack using the air feature in order to fully distribute the oil.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram plunger for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an
oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with pump piston and ram plunger fully retracted and air supply disconnected.
