This document describes the MotoMaster Hydraulic Bottle Jack, available in model numbers 009-1532-0 and 009-1533-8.

Function Description:

The MotoMaster Hydraulic Bottle Jack is a lifting device designed for raising and positioning vehicles and machinery. It can be used vertically or angled up to 3° from a vertical position. After lifting, loads must be immediately supported by jack stands. The jack operates by pumping a handle, which extends a ram to lift the load. A release valve allows for controlled lowering of the load. The hydraulic system requires proper lubrication and periodic air purging to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Important Technical Specifications:

Model No. 009-1532-0:
- Capacity: 12 Ton (10,886 kg)
- Lift Range: 9 1/16 - 18 5/16" (23 – 46.5 cm)
Model No. 009-1533-8:
- Capacity: 20 Ton (18,143 kg)
- Lift Range: 9 1/2 - 17 13/16" (24 – 45 cm)
Safe operating temperature: Between 4–41°C (40–105°F).

Usage Features:

Assembly: The jack handle consists of multiple pieces that connect together. The handle is then inserted into the handle socket on the side of the jack and secured.
Air Purge Procedure (Before First Use):
1. Turn the release valve counter-clockwise one full turn to the open position.
2. Rapidly pump the handle 6-8 times, leaving it in the down position to expose the oil fill plug.
3. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, push the oil fill plug slightly to the side to purge trapped air from the system (exercise caution not to tear or puncture the plug).
4. Turn the release valve clockwise to the closed position.
5. The jack is then ready for use, and proper pump action should be checked.
Raising the Jack:
1. Block the vehicle's wheels for stability and secure the load to prevent shifting.
2. Position the jack near the desired lift point.
3. Set the parking brake in the vehicle.
4. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer's owner's manual for approved lifting points and position the jack so the saddle is centered and firmly contacts the lifting point.
5. Double-check that the saddle is centered and has full contact with the lifting point.
6. Pump the handle to lift the saddle until it contacts the load, then continue pumping to lift the vehicle to the desired height.
7. After lifting, support the load with appropriately rated vehicle support stands before working on the vehicle.
Lowering the Jack:
1. Raise the load high enough to allow clearance for the jack stands, then carefully remove the jack stands.
2. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands to prevent slipping and ensure the release valve does not lower too quickly.
3. Carefully open the release valve by slowly turning the handle counter-clockwise.
4. After removing the jack from under the load, push the ram and handle sleeve down to reduce exposure to rust and contamination.
Safety Precautions:
- Always use jack stands to support a raised load.
- Do not exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
- Use only on hard, level surfaces with less than 3° of slope.
- Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack.
- Center the load on the saddle prior to lifting.
- Use wheel chocks or other blocking devices on opposing wheels.
- Never go under a vehicle supported only by the jack.
- Do not modify the jack or use it for applications other than its intended design.
- Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses and heavy-duty work gloves.
- Do not adjust the safety valve.
- Do not use wood blocks or any other non-approved load-sustaining or lifting devices.

Maintenance Features:

Inspection:
- Inspect the jack carefully before each use for damage, excessive wear, or missing parts.
- Ensure the jack is properly lubricated.
- Inspect the work area for potential hazards.
Binding: If the jack binds under a load, use equipment with equal or greater capacity to lower the load safely. Clean, lubricate, and test the equipment. Rusty components, dirt, or worn parts can cause binding.
Cleaning: If moving parts are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or a good degreaser. Remove rust with a penetrating lubricant.
Lubrication:
- The equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication.
- Lubricate all moving parts with a light, penetrating oil or lubricating spray.
- For light duty use, lubricate once a month.
- For heavy and constant use, lubrication is recommended every week.
- NEVER use sandpaper or abrasive material on surfaces.
- Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oil cloth.
- Some models may have grease fittings that require regular greasing.
Adding Jack Oil:
1. Position the jack on level ground and lower the saddle.
2. Remove the oil plug.
3. Fill the oil case until the oil level is just beneath the lower rim of the oil fill hole.
4. Replace the oil plug.
5. Perform the Air Purge Procedure.
- Important Oil Information: Only use anti-foaming hydraulic jack oil. NEVER use motor oil, hydraulic brake fluid, alcohol, glycerine, detergent, or dirty oil. Mixing different fluid types can cause premature failure and sudden loss of load. Dispose of hydraulic fluid according to local regulations.
Replacing Jack Oil:
1. Position the jack on level ground and lower the saddle.
2. Open the release valve by turning the handle counter-clockwise (4 full turns).
3. Remove the oil plug.
4. Turn the jack on its side to drain the old oil from the oil fill hole.
5. Fill the oil case until the oil level is just beneath the lower rim. Keep dirt and other material clear when pouring.
6. Replace the oil plug.
7. Perform the Air Purge Procedure.
Storage:
1. Lower the lifting ram.
2. Place the handle in the upright position.
3. Store in a dry location, indoors is recommended.
4. If stored outdoors or in caustic environments, lubricate all parts before and after use, and store the jack in the fully retracted position to prevent corrosion and rust.
