Maintenance and Inspection
WARNING
- The jack must be inspected according to
the requirements of this section. Failure to properly
inspect the jack could lead to severe injury or death.
The owner must inspect or appoint a knowledgeable
person to inspect the jack for signs of corrosion,
damage and/or excessive wear.

manufacturer at the numbers and address printed on
the back cover of this manual.
All inspection and maintenance procedures must be
performed after the jack has been removed from

and/or property damage.
8.1
Inspection – before each use
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the
jack, checking for abnormal conditions. Regular
inspections should be made weekly for daily use or
monthly for intermittent use. Any jack that appears to be
damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or
operates abnormally shall be removed from service until
necessary repairs are made:
Inspect piston rod, lift post, and lift extension adapter
regularly and replace if they are cracked, chipped, or
show signs or excessive wear. Holes for the stand
pins must not be elongated or deformed.
Inspect stand pins for deformities or excessive wear.
Stand pins must be able to inset fully into the posts
and piston rod in all positions.
The piston rod should extend and retract smoothly
through its full range.
Inspect hoses for leaks or kinks. Inspect couplings for
damage or air leakage. Replace damaged or defective
hoses or couplings.
The jack must be removed from service and
inspected immediately if it is subjected to an
abnormal load or a shock load. If any irregularities or
problems are detected during an inspection, the jack
must be removed from service immediately and
repaired. Contact the manufacturer using the contact
information printed on the back cover of this manual.
Remember, if you have any doubt about the safe
condition of this jack, DON’T USE IT!

Maintenance instructions
WARNING
- All inspection and maintenance procedures
must be performed after the jack has been removed from
service. Failure to do this may result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
The
following
procedures
should
be
performed
periodically to properly maintain the jack:
Check that all controls operate freely. Wheels should
rotate freely.
All warning and capacity labels should be readable
and complete. Wash external surfaces of jack, labels,
and decals with a mild soap solution. Do not allow
water to run down the ram or the post and into the
cylinder area. If water or any other liquid enters the
cylinder, tilt the jack so the liquid can drain out the
drain hole (shown in the Component Identification
section).
Lubricate all rotating and sliding portions of the jack
monthly.
