Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1.
Before each use,
inspect the general
condition of the Jack. Check for
broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or
missing parts, and any condition that
may affect the proper operation of the
product. If a problem occurs, have the
problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
2.
Before each use, thoroughly test the
Jack for proper operation prior to
its actual use. If the Jack appears
not to be working properly, follow
Bleeding instructions on page 4.

hydraulic jack oil (not included).

once every three years:
a. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the
Oil Fill Plug on the side of the Housing.
b. Tip the Jack to allow the old
hydraulic oil to drain out of the
Housing completely, and dispose of
the old hydraulic oil in accordance
with local regulations.
c. With the Jack upright, completely
fill the Housing with a high
quality hydraulic oil (not included)
until the oil just begins to run
out of the Oil Fill hole.
d. Then, reinstall the Oil Fill Plug
and check jack operation. Bleed
air from system as needed, see
instructions on page 4.
5. Clean with a clean cloth with a detergent
or mild solvent. Then, store the Jack in a
safe, dry location out of reach of children
