HYDRAULIC TROLLEY JACK
Unpacking and Assembling Jack
Unpacking
Unpack all the components from the box.
When unpacking the trolley jack carefully inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit.
Check for loose parts, missing parts or damaged parts.
1.
Ensure all packaging materials are disposed of as per your local council guide lines.
2.
Modifications must not be carried out or accessories added.
Assembling the Handle Assembly
1.
Ensuring the locking holes are aligned, insert the Upper Handle (5) into the Lower Handle (4) (fig.1).
2.
Ensure the holes in the Lower Handle (3) aligns with the retaining clip in the Upper Handle (2), push until you can hear a CLICK (fig.2).
3.
Slide the handle assembly into the handle base (3). The handle assembly will be required to be slowly twisted for the hex shaped
drive of the release valve to engaged into the handle assembly slot (fig.3).
Bleeding / Venting Trapped Air
Note:
Before first use, the hydraulic ram may need to be purged. Some air may intrude in the hydraulic system due to movement
during shipping. Air bubbles can become trapped inside the hydraulic system, thereby reducing the efficiency of the Jack.
1.
Use the handle assembly to twist the release valve 1-1/2 turns counter-clockwise (fig.5).
2.
Rapidly pump the handle assembly 10 to 20 times to purge air from the hydraulic system (fig.6).
3.
Use the handle assembly to twist the release valve clockwise until tight (fig.7). Do not over-tighten.
Operation
Your Kincrome Trolley Jack is designed to be used with a specific handle length and head cap size. See below for details.
Before first using jack carry out the following preparation:
1. Check oil level -
Open release valve with the handle assembly (fig.4) not more than two twists and press down on
head cap (1) (fig.9) to ensure lifting arm (2) is fully down.
2.
Remove the 4 screws fixing the pump cover to the jack and remove the pump cover.
3.
Remove fluid filler plug (fig.8). Hydraulic fluid level should be visible at the oil filler hole approx 12 mm below fluid filler, top as
required (refer to the “Maintenance and Storage” pg 8).
4. Bleed system
- refer to the above “Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air”.
5.
Lubricate
- The Hydraulic Trolley Jack does not require lubricating before first use. It is recommended to periodically grease the
wheels and lifting arm pivot via the fitted grease nipple.
Raising the Lifting Arm
WARNING!: Do not over load this jack’s maximum capacity, refer to the specification section (pg 2) for the
Max Working Vehicle Limits.
WARNING!: The vehicle manufacturer’s owner’s manual should be consulted for the correct lift points prior to the
lifting of the vehicle. Place vehicle in park, with hand brake on and wheel securely chocked to prevent inadvertent
vehicle movement.
1.
Close release valve by twisting the handle assembly clockwise until firm resistance is felt (fig.4).
2.
Inspect position of head cap (1) beneath support area, making sure it is centred and properly engaging support area.
3.
Slowly pump the handle assembly until the head cap (1) contact the vehicle’s lift point.
4.
To lift, continue pumping until vechile reaches desired height. Pay attention to head cap (1) position as vehicle is being raised to be sure
there is no danger of support area slipping off or lifting from the head cap (1).
5.
Place jack stands (always use in pairs) under vehicle support areas.
6.
SLOWLY twist jack handle assembly counter-clockwise (fig 5) to ease vehicle down onto jack stands.
