General Maintenance Procedures:
Always use good quality hydraulic oil. If possible do not mix oils. Never use
any other type of oil or fluid as this will invalidate the warranty. When filling
the jack with oil ensure no dirt or any other substance to enter the hydraulic
system. Check the hydraulic system every 4 months to ensure it is free from
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean the part with an oily cloth. Always
store the jack in a lowered position.
