- 1). Insert the torque wrench supplied with your jack stand. Normally you would pump this handle to push hydraulic fluid into the jack and lift your vehicle. A separate action will allow you to release all pressure on the hydraulic lines of the jack.
- 2). Twist the jack stand handle created with the torque wrench to the left. This twist will release the hydraulic fluid in the lines. The jack stand is now safe to be stored until further use.
- 3). Select a dry area where the jack stand will not be exposed to humidity in order to prevent rusting. The storage space should also be free from freezing temperatures.
