Instructions from Jacks Manufacturing
Jacks Whirlpool Therapy Boots are equipped with check valves to prevent water or solution (such as Sore No More Horse Liniment) from flowing into air lines. These valves are located in the air line coupling attached to the toe of the boot and periodically should be taken out and washed in clean water. Even though this check valve is incorporated, KEEP COMPRESSOR ABOVE WATER LEVEL IN THE BOOT.
In the event the low noise level of the compressor tends to bother a nervous animal, the unit can be set up at a distant point using a regular garden hose between the “Y” connector and the end of the compressor hose. Again, KEEP COMPRESSOR ABOVE WATER LEVEL IN THE BOOT.
In the event bubbling action decreases, check coupling connections for air leaks.

Figure #1 shows method for supporting when two boots are used. Attach suspenders to outside hooks of each boot only.
Figure #2 shows method for supporting when one boot is used. Attach suspender ends to both side hooks of boot. Take “Y” from line and connect air line direct.
Figure #3 – The suspenders are adjustable at the following points:
“A” – Figure #2, #3 – To raise or lower breast piece
“B” – Figure #2, #3 – To lengthen or shorten breast piece
“C” – Figure #2, #3 – To take up for support
Care should be taken not to “take up” the suspenders too much. The boots will almost stand erect alone and need only a small amount of assistance from the suspenders.
CAUTION – DO NOT USE WITH HIGH CALKED SHOES
