How do I lower a hydraulic bottle jack? The brand is Torin Black Jack. Where is the release valve?

Question

Mustang, the lever will not twist unless I pull the pin out of the bottom. Even then it will not turn all the way and cannot be pumped.

Answer 1

have you tried just twisting the handle to the left

Answer 2

sure always use the handle on the little k**b at bottom of jack twist to the left and push it down

Answer 3

theres a little nut at the bottom with a steel pin going thru it---it looks like a T. just turn it counterclockwise. It may be stiff so use pliers..

Answer 4

Normall the jack handle fits over the valve at the bottom of the jack and you turn it counter clockwise to lower the jack. turn it back clockwise before trying to raise it again!

Don't turn it a lot at once or to fast or it will drop the car quick and hard!

Make sure nothing is under it! This could be very

dangerous!!!!!!

If you can't turn something at the bottom to relieve pressure, even if it is the oil plug, I don't see how it will ever work! There is normally something on the base that you turn, most of the time, with the end of the handle, to release pressure!

If there is no load on top, you may have to push it down with your hand!

If you can't get it working, there is contact links on the website.

Good luck!
