Hey that's awesome! Its this comment right here that I was hoping to help folks out with. It stinks to put money and shipping time into a piece of equipment and not have it work. Best of luck!
Dan, I tried reading the manual and all the comments online from a few forums and mine would not work. Here is three things that changed it for me: 1. I tried all of the manual recommendations for trouble shooting. 2. My mechanic uncle got it working by removing the first cap screw that just covers the internal hydraulic pressure screw. Then loosening the hydraulic screw until fluid is running out, then tightening it completely tight. 3. I used hand jack to put the jack head at its height limit and then unscrewed the pressure value and let the springs compress the head for 24 hours. And then I tried heating my shop for 6 hours and that significantly helped as well. Best of luck!
Another review showed pumping 7-8 times the very first thing with the air cap on the side removed to get air out. On theirs that was before filling or adding hyd oil. Kind of odd but that was fooling some sort of instructions.
Yes Sir, there is lots of key pieces of information in the manual that they include as the "Pre-start" Information. I stated that portion in the video about reading the instructions all the way through. However despite doing each step according to schedule there was still air in the lines. And to date the jack isn't working at all in the shop. I am guessing due to cold temps. It was -70 degrees F last week so its been taking a lot to get my shop functioning in general. But hey, thanks for the comment, if I didn't state it clear enough then maybe someone will get that help from your comment.
@@samdahlandsonsforge Thanks. Your info is good in the video. I suppose I thought that, like most CE stuff, instructions and parts vary and things are confused. I guess now I'm a bit concerned about getting one (which is why I searched for reviews such as yours). We've had a cold blast in KC but that's really cold! Since they are fairly simple machines and since Vevor appears to have fairly decent CE stuff, do you think it will be able to be used. I see good stuff about the other, smaller Vevor jacks but no sense in wasting money and time.
@@836dmar Here is what I will say. I think the 20T jacks they make seem to have more review with positive responses, and I don't think you should get a 30T jack unless you buy the log splitters that run off gas. I will say that knowing what I know now, I would much quicker look at an electric motor run system rather than pneumatic. The amount of air it takes, and the issues seem to be decently substantial. I am in the process of making a professional press, but I will never use pneumatic run stuff in the future out of this experience as it appears there are lots of other machines that are simply more efficient. If price is the thing holding you to the tool, then I would say be prepared for slow action of the tool, and possible issues. But hey man best of luck!
I appreciate the comments, I am always trying to balance some of the audio techniques to get the important information in there without letting folks get board into the depth of the video.
Thanks for the information ! I was able to get My 8 month old Vevor 32 ton jack working again !

Is that screw supposed to be fully tightened? I’ve just adjusted mine before reading in the manual where it tells you not to adjust it. Cheers
