• How do I bleed air from my Cartrend hydraulic trolley jack?

  To release pressure/air: Open the release valve by turning it anti-clockwise. Pump the handle approximately 8 times (full strokes). Close the release valve clockwise. Pump until the lifting arm is fully extended, then pump a few more times. Finally, open the release valve to lower the arm completely.

• What type of oil should I use for Cartrend jacks?

  Use SAE10 hydraulic oil. Do not use brake fluid, motor oil, or dirty oil, as these can damage the seals and hydraulic system.

• How long does it take to charge the Cartrend Power Station?

  When using the 230V mains adapter, charging typically takes approximately 8 to 12 hours. The charge status LED will light up green when the battery is fully charged.

• Can I leave my Cartrend battery charger connected indefinitely?

  Many Cartrend microprocessor chargers feature a maintenance mode suitable for winter storage. However, always refer to your specific model's manual to confirm if it supports continuous 'float' charging safely.
