TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Possible Causes Corrective Action
The Toilet Master will not lift
• Release valve not tightly closed
• Overload condition
• Ensure release valve tightly closed
• Relieve overload condition
The Toilet Master will lift, but not
maintain pressure
• Release valve not tightly closed
• Hydraulic unit malfunction
• Ensure release valve tightly closed
• Contact Technical Service
The Toilet Master will not lower • Reservoir overlled • Ensure load is removed, then drain
uid to proper level
Poor lift performance • Low hydraulic uid level
• Air trapped in system
• Ensure proper uid level
• With ram fully retracted, remove
oil ller plug to let pressurized air
escape, then reinstall oil ller plug
The Toilet Master will not lift to
full extension
• Low hydraulic uid level • Ensure proper uid level
BOTTLE JACK MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only quality grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing di󰀨erent types of uid and NEVER use brake uid,
turbine oil, transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid can cause premature failure of the jack and the
potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. The manufacturer recommends Mobil DTE 13M.
Adding oil
1. With ram plunger fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, set jack in its upright, level position. Remove
oil ller plug.
2. Fill with oil until just below the rim of the oil ller hole. Reinstall the oil ller plug.
Changing oil
Note: For best performance and longest life, replace the complete uid supply at least once per year.
1. With ram plunger fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, remove the oil ller plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the uid into a suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local environmental regulations.
3. Fill with oil until just below the rim of oil ller hole. Reinstall the oil ller plug.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram plunger for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with
an oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with pump piston and ram plunger fully retracted.
