there is a fill point on the cylinder itself, the manual says to keep in an upright position but i just did it on the ground. i thought at first it was either the flat-head cap or the hex-key but those are NOT it!! those are adjustments and the hex-key contains ball-bearings!! (if you have happened to take them off and tip it sideways and the bearings fall out, the smaller bearing goes in first ;) lol ) I also found it easier to put the handle back in, with the jack all the way lowered let the handle drop to the ground, on the cylinder you will see a little "hump", that is the fill spot, it's just a rubber plug painted silver to match the jack. i used a flat-head to pop it off, i just guessed on how much to put in, i think i added a quarter qt bottle, otherwise put the plug back in and test it after adding so much at a time.
(note, it will still jack slow if there is no load (weight) on it, also if it jacks up fine but takes a long time to release or go down, that's a sign of "over-filling"- try to avoid that and empty some out if that happens)
Open the drain screw that holds the body of the hydraulic jack. This way you can addhydraulic oil to the hydraulic jack.
you can but you'll be buying a new one very shortly afterwards. Use hydraulic fluid. Brake fluid works well also
The fill port is below the seat on the right hand side.
To replace seals in a hydraulic bottle jack, first, ensure the jack is completely depressurized and disassembled. Remove the cylinder cap using appropriate tools, then extract the piston and old seals carefully, noting their orientation. Clean the cylinder and piston surfaces, then install new seals, making sure they fit snugly and are correctly oriented. Finally, reassemble the jack, refill it with hydraulic fluid, and test for leaks before use.
How much? what kind of plywood floor? Why do you need to do this??

Should be a screw at the side of the jack body Make sure piston is in collapsed position and fill with hydraulic jack oil to this level
Power steering sealer and conditioner fluid.
No, you should not use motor oil in a hydraulic jack. Hydraulic jacks are designed to operate with specific hydraulic fluid that has the necessary properties for proper function, such as viscosity and anti-wear characteristics. Using motor oil can lead to improper operation, damage the jack, and void any warranties. Always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct fluid type.
There should be a screw on the side of the jack--remove and fill until oil runs out of this screw. Make sure that the "ram" is fully retracted into the body of the jack
what kind of hyderlic oil i have to put in jack
How do you put oil in my Ritter motor chair
You need to place the floor jack under the actual beam of the car frame. This is where 2 jacks may have to be put into play. You will need to jack up the car high enough to be able to release the old shocks from their bases. You may have to put a jack on blocks to jack the car high enough to achieve this. Put your stands on very stable blocks under the frame as well.
1010 SPECIAL HYDRAULIC OIL
You remove the fill bolt on the transmission and fill it there. It is easily accessable with a floor jack or ramps.
If it is a diesel or LPG engine, you put the oil in like a regular vehicle( cap on valave cover or through the dip-stick(if it doesn't have a cap). Hydraulic oil has a separate reservoir(could be under the floor board or near the engine(depending on year/modle).
