to lower bottle jack when completely covered. Is there a way to
connect to
lowering valve port

How about a simpler solution. Maybe just a long handle? Perhaps
with a T
handle to make operating the valve at a distance easier?
You said "completely" covered though so I'm not sure. The thing is
it's a
simple valve built into the body of the jack, so setting up a
remote valve
is not going to be super easy.

Super easy. Drill and tap for the fittings, and run hoses to and
from the remote valve.
Now is that safe??????????????????????


A separate hand pump and cylinder may turn out to be easier:
