you will over extend ram.
5. Put cradle in the
DOWN position.
Use an adapter on
your air hose and
allow air to flow
through the opening
in the petcock valve
into the pump.

the ram to move down. If this happens,
proceed to step 7. If not, check all
hoses and connections and repeat
the procedure.

COUNTERCLOCKWISE
a maximum of one (1)
turn to open valve.
