Raise the load enough to clear the jack stands, remove the stands, then slowly turn the handle counterclockwise no more than 1/2 turn.
Use a good grade hydraulic jack oil; the manual recommends Mobil DTE13M or equivalent.
Replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year for best performance and longest life.
