did anyone get one ?

mine isn't working and i coudl really use some help

It has a slotted screw on the top plate and also 2 hex head grub screws


i tightened the main screw up

the 2 hex head grub screws i opened

I pushed the piston in and some oil came out of these


but after tightening everything back up (without sucking any air back in) the jack does the same thing ... it will go up but then once it starts to support any weight you just pump it forever and it does not actually go up any further

would appreciate any pointers

its like the old R500 again

4 people's engines went bang then jecks, Carmichael and a few others pipe up and say their has been fine for the last 4 decades

so that makes... let me think... 4 bangs and about 8 no bangs

so thats a 50% failure rate scratchchin
