Hi, we have this Jack at work but the manual pumping action only takes a very small load and then seems to blow off through a pressure release, only allowing us to use it with a pneumatic line. Is this correct?
For info we typically use this Jack on a Boeing 737.
Cheers,
Glen.

Did you guys get any reply or answers to this issue? having the same for a 320...

Hi @@joseredrodriguez unfortunately not! We still have this jack and can’t jack up an aircraft without a pneumatic line attached. Obviously it’s ok if you’re changing a main wheel as you can use the pressure from the tyre but if you’re jacking for to change a brake or just spin a wheel we need to bring our nitrogen rig over as well and use that to operate the jack. Bit of a pain.

How the hell does that lift a whole aircraft

Not only narrow-body, but also wide-body aircraft, including the Airbus A380.
