- Unboxing and setup of a Daytona 3-ton floor jack (not sponsored).
Also bleed/adding hydraulic jack oil to jack during setup.
Test lifting and lowering with the jack.
Fantastic tutorial! Simple and to the point. Keep them coming.
Man this tutorial really was a big help for me working on setting this thing up on my own. Got a little confused on the release valve not actuating the saddle. However it took me a moment to realize the release valve is on the top/front of the handle socket oppose to this being behind/under it.
Thanks brother just got the jack and my dumb ass didn't understand the directions but watching this I got it much appreciate. Many thanks
Great work man! Made it much easier than trying to figure out what the Manual said which wasn't helpful. I just tested this Jack on my 3,200LB Jetta and it's a little more than I need but better safe than sorry. I also went with a warranty since the old 1.5 TON Pittsburg this is replacing didn't last that long.
@BOOSTEDDUDE: Thank you!
Thank you, the manual was kind of confusing because it said on the jack do not tamper with screws but the manual said the opposite lol!
The manual is correct. The TWO SCREWS you are to remove are on the sides, just to get access to the bleeder screw. The other TWO SCREWS looking straight down don't touch. The single bleeder screw allows you to bleed and fill with hydraulic fluid.
Dude label this vid unboxing and setup ( and or bleed) you will get more views! Thanx!!
@Karelle: Done!
@@LongologoProductions Im here because of the title 👍
@@LongologoProductions Here because of the title too👍
Let me help out the NEWBIES, if you buy a Daytona, Pittsburgh or Snap on Jack. Do NOT Rotate the handle more than 5 rotations Counter Clockwise (Left) if you do up to 10 Rotations the Jack will start Exploding Hydraulic Fluid out of the "Rotation Assembly" LEARN from my mistakes lol 😂 other than that the Jack is excellent Quality. I just wish they woulda put a Stopper in the Rotation Assembly to prevent people from unscrewing it completely out of the jack snd leaking all the fluid out instantly
Why but why would you want to turn the handle 10 times
5 times
@@davidowens7051 I'm just saying as an example, on my 3 ton Daytona Low Profile Jack it only takes ½ a Turn to start lowering a Car and 2 Turns to be fully "Released"
I did this same thing😂 I thought it wasn't right
@@Nacholibrethe3rd lol i ended up exchanging that Jack for a New one and now it Physically won't let me turn it more than 5 times left, wich is a good thing!
Nice review of the Daytona long reach jack from Harbor Freight and I like that you showed the bleeding the air process from the hydraulic reservoir before the first use its very important this is done to insure proper performance of the Jack and will reduce the chance of failure 👍
@Walter: Thanks for the compliment!
Thank you! I watched this video to set up my Daytona 3 ton jack and now it's ready to go to work!
@Ianga maphumulo: Great!
Thanks, the instructions it came with were really unclear, no pictures or labeling at all, this made it simple and mine works fine now
When your jacking up the pump while letting the air, if the oil is coming out of the hole , is that good ?
@TheWiseGuy: Sounds like you have too much oil in there. See starting at 1:23 in the video.
I have the manual and see the picture, but idk how it’s suppose to look like in person..
@@thewiseguy7100 : if oil is spilling out it sounds like it’s overfilled. See in the video when I’m operating the pump with the cap off, no oil is pouring out. Just pump slowly. You can always start over. Good luck.
You pump air out until what? It spills out?
I bought this jack last summer and it worked fine. Now it's spring and it won't jack at all. I noticed that the only one of the two pumps at the rear of the jack under the handle are engaging. The other is stopped by some plastic stopper.
Nice video this taught me how to bleed n top off 👌🏼
Just bought the same jack
@MikeLakeMedia: Many thanks. Glad it helped.
I have two of these and both have the same issue, the lift up just fine, but when they are up in the lifted position with a car on them, the handle is extremely difficult to turn counter clockwise to lower it. Is there a way to fix this?
Not sure. I just find that the rotating to lower is extremely sensitive.
I bought the same jack a couple weeks ago. In the video when you lowered the jack it went down slowly but on my jack when I try to lower it softly sometimes it lowers faster then it should. Any idea what it might be?
@Misael Compean: first, make sure you very closely followed the instructions to top off the oil and work out any air. Second, I found that the handle rotation is extremely sensitive. The first few times I turned the handle I felt that the car came down way too fast. But then I tried turning the handle super slowly and stopped at the first hint that the car was lowering. Then you can get a feel for how it will release. Hope that helps.
@@LongologoProductions thank you for getting back to me so sudden. And yeah I noticed you added more fluid to the lift. Me on the other had I didnt have any fluid so I just bleede the jack how it instructed and started using it. That might the cause but. I'll for sure get a feel for the jack.
How in the hell do you get the shipping block out? My handle is down as far as it goes and I can't remove it.
@066motocross: I think what you’re asking is shown around 0:40 in the video. Unless your piece is wedged in their sideways or something?
I just got the same jack. The springs in mine are black and look thin and flimsy. When I release pressure I can hear the damn springs clinking.
They get cheaper on the build recently?
@Mario Haro: Not sure about that. I only have the one I show in the video.
My Daytona drops really fast when I barely start lowering it
It’s very sensitive to handle rotation under load.
Is it just my jack or when rotating the handle counter clockwise it doesn’t seem to have a stop point?
@Ricardo Ramirez: I don’t remember for sure but you shouldn’t have to turn it much at all counterclockwise to lower the jack.
@@LongologoProductions Can you check for me it you ever get a chance?
@@srtmobn: I just checked and there doesn’t seem to be a stop point counterclockwise. As you can see from midway through the video, the black pole is connected via a universal joint. I just turn it clockwise until it stops, which is the position for lifting the jack arm. I turn it counterclockwise only as much as needed to lower the arm and not any farther. Once the arm is down I turn it clockwise again. That’s all. You shouldn’t have to turn it counterclockwise more than one revolution to lower the arm.
@@srtmobn if you turn it enought either direction, there is a stop.
For CW rotation, the stop is inside the black block of iron. The scew/bolt bottoms out.
For CCW rotation, there is a small shiny U shaped metal(held in place with small screw which you can see if you remove the small cover on the top) that stops the shaft that has the u-joint on it from loosening to a point where it comes off(since it is just a bolt with a washer).
So there is stop for both CW and CCW rotation. If it went forever, it would come off and leak oil.
do you happen to know what that gold nipple is? I read on OTHER HF jack instructions guides its some type of place we need to grease? My Daytona guide is missing photos/images.
@Love Like a Hurricane: I don’t see that on this one. Sorry.
The gold nipple is on top it’s a grease fitting
What kind of oil did you use? Does it have to be 22 viscosity or can it be any hydraulic fluid.
@BOLIS: I just bought a bottle of Liquid Wrench hydraulic jack oil M3332.
@@LongologoProductions Great video, I was also looking for the weight of the hydraulic oil. Thanks for posting the Liquid Wrench part number. Also wanted to ask, where did you get the wheel chocks and how much did you pay, each?
@@rivercidal : Harbor Freight but I don’t remember how much they cost.
@@LongologoProductions I saw some for 6.99 at harbor freight. You probably figured that out already
Looked everywhere for non detergent and you cant find it. This gunk liquid wrench is closest I found as well.
Good video! Short n to the point! I hate when ther 20min long. I just need to fill mine n bleed it (low pro green)
@Mason Burroughs: Thanks!
IF this is a new jack, then why the need to add hydraulic jack oil. If that's the case, then I think jacks oil should be shipped with a new jack.
@Carmelo M: Yes it is a new jack in the video and adding hydraulic oil is part of the setup instructions. It would be nice if the jack shipped with a separate container of extra oil, but it didn’t ….
Mine kept leaking the fluid when I pumped it during the bleeding process, was that supposed to happen?
@Jew Bury: Maybe you overfilled it or pumped just a bit too vigorously and forced out the air too rapidly.
I’m having the same problem. My jack oil just keeps coming out. I’m having trouble finding a solution. Does anyone one have a suggestion?
@@1nsidiouss510I messed up by taking the screw out. Don't do that. Simply loosen the fill screw, don't take it fully out. This way air can escape but the viscosity of the liquid can't. Im not going out again to buy oil lol, hope it works fine as is 🤞
Which oil did you use?
@javierlopez9419: I used Liquid Wrench hydraulic jack oil - it specified the non-detergent 22 weight. Specifically, search for this on Amazon: “Gunk Liquid Wrench M3332 Hydraulic Jack Oil - 32 oz.” That’s what I used in the video. They may also have smaller sizes. I hope that helps.
vegetable
Baby oil 😂
I got the same jack. But mine only goes up half way. Maybe I need more oil or need to bleed it for a longer time and let air out?
@RKO OSCAR: make sure to follow the setup instructions to the letter. Make sure you have enough oil in there and the air has been worked out, and that there’s nothing obstructing the mechanism.
When I try bleed air out I’m getting oil overflow no air…
May be already full and no air bubbles?
Thank you
2021...@Longologo I recently bought this same jack. My question is can I use STP jack oil? I need to know because I couldn't find a Hydraulic Oil that said 22 non- detergent Hydraulic Oil?
@Buddy 727: Not sure about the STP jack oil. I used Liquid Wrench hydraulic jack oil - it specified the non-detergent 22 weight. Specifically, search for this on Amazon: “Gunk Liquid Wrench M3332 Hydraulic Jack Oil - 32 oz.” That’s what I used in the video. They may also have smaller sizes. I hope that helps.
@@LongologoProductions ty so much for the upload Bro, straight to it no chaser
Thank you very much!
Thankyou
Mine is different than yours. The arm is all the way down so even with the handle in place you cannot push down to release the clip. It is going back
@LiveTo InspireAll: See starting @ 0:33, where the handle provides just enough weight to hold the area open so you can remove the clip. Otherwise take a pair of pliers to wiggle or twist the clip out while the handle is holding the lever down. Good luck.
Am I an idiot? I am following your steps to bleed and oil just comes out every time I push the handle down? Is the Jack just grossly overfilled or am I doing something wrong?
@DonnyFrusciante III: First of all, you’re not an idiot. Second, the jack could be sufficiently filled already, or you could be pushing the handle down too quickly or too aggressively. Compare what you’re doing against the instructions that came with the jack and follow them to the letter.
Ok so for some reason I did everything but it wont lift like the arm will left then fall
@Military base: Check to make sure the black handle is rotated clockwise to lift the jack arm. To lower the jack arm, rotate the black handle slowly counterclockwise. Maybe you have the handle turned counterclockwise and that’s why it isn’t lifting the jack arm?
@@LongologoProductions I got it thanks for the tutorial my handle wasn't going onto the square thing in side the hole
does bleeder screw have a rubber washer
Yes. Rubber o ring
crazy helpful. thank you! new sub.
Help I can’t get it to stay up after I pump it up!
Is the handle rotated to the left such that it is constantly trying to lower itself?
I figured it out! It’s a screw at the bottom of the pole..
I found a video of the exact one I have and I figured it out. I do not have a pad though and was going to try ahead and use it without the rubber pad. What do you think?
Great! The rubber pad is helpful for grip and preventing damage/scratches.
I know I’m going to buy one but I have a flat and need to use it now so I should be okay using it once or twice like that?
Thank you this was helpful
@Carbon Instinct: thanks!
I bought one but I haven’t used it yet. Where did you buy the fluid and what kind of fluid?
@Cross 89: I’m fairly sure this is what I used: Gunk Liquid Wrench M3332 Hydraulic Jack Oil - 32 oz. www.amazon.com/Gunk-Liquid-Wrench-M3332-Hydraulic/dp/B001FAE4T2
Longologo Productions thanks man
@@LongologoProductions That oil contains a detergent - which Daytona specifies not to use. FYI.
So i just bought mine and thought maybe im not doing something right, but when i turn the handle it doesnt turn the valave the handle just spins freely without actually turning anything 😂🤦♂️
Is it all the way unthreaded to begin with? Try turning it clockwise all the way in first and then coming back out from there?
@ nothing, i think ill just bring it back for a new one
@ already got a new one and it works glad i live half a mile away from harbor freight😂
Will the jack work without the handle?
No but you can now buy a handle for around $30 @ harbor freight
This one has a foot pedal so you can use it without but that isn't enough leverage to get much further than touching the underside of a car. For sure you ain't getting a car up without the handle attached, mine came with one so you shouldnt have to buy a handle.
Used mine for my own personal use for 3 years maybe 30 times it quit jacking up has plenty fluid in it and i bled several times still don't work i have owned several other Jack's in business s and never had 1 do this.
Do you close the valve before installing the screw back?
@Ricardo Ramirez: Do you mean the screw/bolt that holds in the black pole or the screw/bolt that covers the oil fill? The former goes in as shown in the earlier part of the video to simply catch that rib at the end of the black pole for when you are actually using the jack. The latter must be screwed back in immediately after the bleed and before closing and screwing back in the orange cover plate.
thanks alot of help
I accidentally loosened the wrong screw [in between the Safety Valve Covers, which was giving me issues with leaking lots of oil when trying to bleed the air out].
Make sure you're using the Fill Plug to bleed the air out, and to add the Hydraulic Oil [which I got from Home Depot for $7.99].
man this shit don't work
Thanks
Thank you
