Maintenancetc “Maintenance”
Daily: Inspect jack for damage.
Monthly: Oil all mechanical parts.
Yearly: Inspect for abnormal wear and tear and lubricate all mechanical part.
Refilling of oil: Pump and cylinder form a closed system and refilling of oil is only necessary in exceptional
cases. To check the oil level it is necessary to take out the pump, complete:
pump the jack half-way up.
keep the handle vertically and block the piston rod (35) in the inmost position by a screw or the like through
the hole in the release bracket. (44). Mind the inner spring.
Remove handle and tipping gear as well as two screws (8) on the top of the lifting frame.
Unfasten screw (26) and disconnect the piston rod and the base frame by lifting the lifting frame.
Lift the loose complete pump up and out of the lifting frame.
Correct oil level is up to lower edge of filling hole (28) keeping the complete pump vertically and the piston
rod pushed in. Too much oil might cause imperfect pump function.
Oil quantity: YAK 40/Q: 0,8l
Any good hydraulic oil of viscosity of 10°-32°cSt/40° can be used.
NEVER USE BRAKE NLUID.
Destruction
When the jack after several years is worn and must be dismantled, the oil must be drained off and legally
