MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND INSPECTION
CAUTION!
Damages and risks of injury!
When the car jack is used in work areas where oil has leaked, the car
jack may slip and cause material damage and/or personal injury.
– Thoroughly clean the surfaces where the work will be carried
out or where the vehicle will be raised or lowered.
– Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
– The oil level must always be kept at the recommended level.
– Check the car jack before every use.
– Check if there are any cracks or damaged welds, and if parts
are missing and/or loosened and/or damaged. If the car jack is
damaged or deformed in any way, take it out of service.
– If you suspect that the car jack has been subjected to an
inadmissible load, the jack should be inspected immediately
by the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer through the
service center indicated on the warranty card.
– If there are any problems with the car jack or parts are missing,
there is damage, deformation or breakage, contact the
manufacturer through the service center indicated on the
warranty card.
Always use a good quality hydraulic oil (SAE10 or
equivalent). Never mix or use different types of liquids
(such as alcohol, glycerine, cleaning agents, engine oil or
contaminated oil).
