I am frequently contacted by L&E hydraulic jack owners how to lower their jack. Commonly, they find the jack in the back of their garage and the first thing they do is pump it up without weight on it to see if it still works. The answer is to push the handle fully down through a restriction. This operates a pressure release piston. At the same time push down on the central lifting ram. In normal operation the weight of the car would apply this downward pressure.
See home page for the supplier of L&E jack seals.
