PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE (CONT.)
IMPORTANT:
In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid or transmission oil
in the jack. Use Chevron Hydraulic Oil AW IS0 32 or its equivalent Unocal Unax AW150.
4. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash
external surfaces of the jack but not any moving hydraulic components. Contact Matco for a replacement label if your
jack's label is unreadable.
5. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of
damage or leaks hydraulic fluid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified
in any way. Take corrective action before using the jack again.
6. Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you are a qualified hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this
equipment. Repairs must be performed by an authorized service center.
