INSTRUCTIONS
TOWING:
1. Release jack to lower boom to the lowest point.
2. Place chain hook into hookup point at center
of base of the lift.
3. Take up slack in chain by placing lock chain
into the rear grab hook on boom.
4. Pump the jack up until chain is tight.
The above instructions will:
• Prevent the boom from “jackknifing” when be-
ing towed. Other wise the jack can become
inoperative because of air being pulled under
the plunger (ram).
• Position the boom correctly so that the cou-
pler is horizontal to the ground and at the proper
height for towing.
STORAGE:
1. Clean unit.
2. Cover all scratches with touch up paint.
3, Grease all wheels so they turn freely.
4. Store jack indoors.
LIFT MAINTENANCE:
1. Grease wheels and casters periodically to in-
sure free movement.
2. For jack maintenance, see jack maintenance
section.
3 & 5 TON JACKS:
These jacks are manufactured exclusively for the
use on BlueBird hydraulic lifts. The finest available,
it incorporates two unique features: An internal
safety bypass valve and a slow release valve.
The bypass valve is set at the factory and SHOULD
NOT BE TAMPERED WITH. This valve becomes
operative as the load reaches the capacity of the
lift. It then bypasses the hydraulic fluid from the
pump into the reservoir so that no greater pres-
sure may be exerted on the ram, regardless of the
load being lifted. This averts possible damage to
the jack or the lift itself.
The specially engineered slow release valve is
designed to provide the operator with complete
control when lowering the load. This restricts the
return flow of hydraulic fluid so the load will never
drop suddenly or too fast. To aid in the prevention
of accidental removal or the possibility of over tight-
ening of the release valve, a STOP has been
welded to the jack mounting plate. Never remove
the stop, if it should become damaged or broken
off, replace immediately.
