SAFETY and GENERAL INFORMATION
Save these instructions. For your safety, read, understand, and follow the information provided with and on this jack
before using. The owner and operator of this equipment shall have an understanding of this jack and safe operating
procedures before attempting to use. The owner and operator shall be aware that use and repair of this product
may require special skills and knowledge. Instructions and safety information shall be conveyed in the operator's
native language before use of this jack is authorized. If any doubt exists as to the safe and proper use of this jack,
remove from service immediately.
Inspect before each use. Do not use if broken, bent, cracked or damaged parts are noted. Any jack that appears
damaged in any way, or operates abnormally shall be removed from service immediately. If the jack has been or
suspected to have been subjected to a shock load (a load dropped suddenly, unexpectedly upon it), immediately
discontinue use until jack has been checked by a factory authorized service center (contact distributor or manufacturer
for list of authorized service centers). It is recommended that an annual inspection be done by qualified personnel.
Labels and Operator's Manuals are available from manufacturer.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AME International Air Actuated Hydraulic Bottle Jacks are 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.
!
WARNING: 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 application are compatible, if in doubt call AME International (352) 799-1111.
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 fully retracted and release valve closed, pump the operating handle. If ram responds immediately, jack
is ready for use. If ram does not respond, open release valve and pump 6 to 8 full strokes to purge air. Close
release valve and recheck operation.
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 before putting into service. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies
with AME International 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 screw. 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 screw.

! WARNING
! WARNING
X
• Study, understand, and follow all printed materials
provided with/on this product before use.
• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• This is a lifting device only! Immediately after
lifting, support the load with a pair of appropriately
rated jack stands
• Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the
manufacturer shall be used.
• Use only on hard, level surface.
• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by
the vehicle manufacturer.
• Never wire, clamp or otherwise disable the lift
control valve to function by other than operator's
hand.
• No alterations shall be made to this product.
• Failure to heed these markings may result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
To avoid crushing and related injuries:
• Never work on, under or around a load supported
only by hydraulic jack.
• Always use adequately rated jack stands.
• Chock each unlifted tire in both directions.
• Do not use this device to lift, level, lower, support nor
move a house, mobile home, travel trailer, camper or
any building structure.
• Be alert and sober when using this product. Do not
operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
NOTICE: Be sure all tools and personnel are clear
before lowering load. Only attachments and/or
adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used.
Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the
vehicle manufacturer.
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 in order to raise saddle to contact lift point. To lift, continue pumping until load reaches
desired height.
6. Immediately secure lifted load with appropriately rated jack stands.
!
WARNING: Use only the handle provided by jack manufacturer. The handle provided with this jack will safely
engage the release valve. 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.
!
WARNING: Do not use an extender on the air hose or the operating handle.
!
Lowering
WARNING: 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 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 premium hydraulic oil.
Lubrication
Air pump should be internally lubricated before each
use. Use good quality air tool lubricant. If no inline oiler
is used, pour a teaspoon of air tool oil into the air control
valve inlet. Operate the jack with air pressure to fully
distribute the oil inside the air motor.
Adding oil
1. With ram plunger fully lowered and air supply
disconnected, set jack in its upright, level position.
Remove oil filler screw.
2. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil filler hole.
Reinstall the oil filler screw.
Cleaning
Periodically check the ram for signs of rust/corrosion. Clean
as needed and wipe with oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on
ram surface!
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 air supply
disconnected, remove the oil filler screw.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with ram plunger fully
retracted and air supply disconnected.
