(9) OIL FILL
PLUG
NOTE:
ALWAYS use a good grade hydraulic jack oil. Do not use hydraulic
brake fluid, alcohol, glycerin, detergent, motor oil or dirty oil. Use of
an unrecommended fluid can cause damage to your jack.
Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations. Pouring
oil onto the ground or into storm drains, or tossing it into trash cans,
even in a sealed container, is illegal and can contaminate and pollute
the environment.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
The oil level has a direct impact on the performance of the jack, causing it to
malfunction when the oil level is not correct.
• Too much oil will not allow the saddle (6) to be
lowered completely.
• Too little oil will not allow the saddle (6) to be
raised completely.
1. Position the jack on level ground.
2. Lower the saddle (6) by opening the release
valve.
3. Use a flat screwdriver to unscrew and remove
the oil fill plug (9).
4. Fill with oil until the oil level is just beneath the lower rim of the oil fill hole.
5. Screw the oil fill plug (9) back to its original postion.
6. Perform the air purge procedure as described below (
→
Releasing trapped air).
ADDING OIL
REPLACING OIL
For best performance and longest service life, replace the entire oil supply at least once
per year.
• Prepare a suitable canister to contain the old oil.
• Fully open the release valve by turning the handle (4) counter-clockwise as far as
possible.
• Use a flat screwdriver to unscrew and remove the oil fill plug (9).
• Turn the jack over so that the oil can drain from the oil fill hole into the canister.
• Refill oil until the oil level is just beneath the lower rim of the oil fill hole.
• Screw the oil fill plug (9) back to its original position.
• Perform the air purge procedure as described below (
→
Releasing trapped air).
LUBRICATION
• Add lubricating oil to all moving parts when needed.
• For light-duty use, we recommend lubricating every 6 months.
• For heavy-duty and constant use, we recommend lubricating every month.
RUST PREVENTION
• Check your service jack regularly for signs of rust or corrosion.
• If signs of rust are visible, clean as needed and wipe down with an oily cloth.
NOTE: Never use sandpaper or abrasive materials on any of the surfaces.
RELEASING TRAPPED AIR
During shipment, or after refilling the oil, air may become trapped in the hydraulic system
causing poor lifting performance. The air has to be removed before starting operation of the
jack.
• Using the handle (4), turn the release valve counter-clockwise one full turn to open.
• Pump the handle (4) rapidly for six full strokes.
• Turn the handle (4) clockwise to close the release valve.
• Pump the handle (4) until the jack saddle (6) reaches its maximum height.
• Turn the handle (4) counter-clockwise one full turn and lower the saddle (6) to the lowest
position. Use force if necessary.
• Turn the handle (4) clockwise to the closed position and check for proper pump action. It
may be necessary to perform the above procedure more than once to ensure that the air
is completely evacuated.
STORAGE
• When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered inside the original packaging.
Store in a dry indoor location and keep out of reach of children.
