Oil Plug Location on Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack with Built-In Jack Stand

Updated 10/21/2024 | Published 10/16/2022

Question:

The previous post about this as do the instructions included with the jacks says to remove the plug and add oil to the level of this hole on the side. The problem is, there is no plug - just a hole visible on the side, as shown in the pic last referenced. What’s the secret? If the jack tips on its side, will oil leak out of this hole? It does not come with a removable plug. Thanks.

When I reached out to my contact at Powerbuilt they indicated that the hole in the side of the Powerbuilt Unijack Bottle Jack with Built-In Jack Stand # ALL620471 is actually a plug that you need to remove (see attached). This being a plug would help prevent oil leaking out and would help keep the system "pressurized" for lack of a better term.

Attached is a review video for you to check out. If your jack looks different please shoot me a photo so I can compare that to what we have on our end.

I need the plug part number. Lost the plug when the jack turned over and leaked all the fluid out. I can not find the plug.

@Joe I asked Powerbuilt if the have a replacement oil plug and they said they do not, and it would be best if you rreached out to them directly at 800-423-3598.
