Product Functionality
Step-by-Step Instructions
To raise:
- Turn valve screw clockwise to tighten it and create a pressure seal
- Place jack under car and turn extender rod until it reaches the bottom of the car
- Insert handle into pump handle housing
- Raise and lower handle to pump up car
To lower:
- Turn valve screw clockwise
- Twist down extender rod
- Pull jack out from under car
Mechanical Function
The jack is made up of a series of concentric cylinders each of which is pressurized and holds differing amounts of hydraulic fluid. When the handle is inserted into the pump mechanism and moved up and down, fluid is pumped from a reservoir in the outer cylinder into the space in the bottom of the inner chamber, pushing the ramrod shell upward. This fluid is kept inside the inner cylinder by a high-pressure valve located in the base of the jack, consisting of a check valve and a debris filter to keep unwanted solids from breaking the seal created by the ball bearing. The jack can be released by loosening the valve screw at the jack’s base, thus allowing the fluid to return to the outer cylinder until the valve screw is tightened again. This release of fluid will then lower the ramrod shell, lowering the car and allowing the jack to be removed. The ramrod also has a section that can be unscrewed, providing extra length to the mechanism.
