MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil.
Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER
use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid,
motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause
premature failure of the jack and the potential for
sudden and immediate loss of load.
Adding Oil
1. With saddle fully lowered, set jack in its upright,
level position. Remove oil filler plug.
2. Check hydraulic oil level and fill to 1/4” below the
fill port as needed.
Changing Oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the
complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil filler plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.
Note. Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with
local regulations.
3. Set jack in its level position. Fill until oil is level with
the oil filler hole, reinstall oil filler plug.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot
points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and
assure that casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs
of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an
oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on
these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully
lowered.
Always store the Jack in a well-protected area where
it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive
vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements.
