Preventive Maintenance
IMPORtANt: the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic units is dirt.
Keep the service jack clean
and well lubricated to prevent foreign matter from entering the system. If the jack has been exposed to rain,
snow, sand, or grit, it must be cleaned before it is used.
1. Store the jack in a well-protected area where it will not be exposed to corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or
any other harmful elements.
2. Regularly lubricate the moving parts in the wheels, arm, and handle.
3. Replace the oil in the reservoir at least once per year. To check the oil level, lower the lift arm completely.
Remove the rubber filler plug. Oil level should be at the bottom of the filler plug hole. If necessary, add
approved anti-wear hydraulic jack oil, and install the filler plug.
IMPORtANt: the use of alcohol, hydraulic
brake fluid, or transmission oil could damage the seals and result in jack failure.
4. Inspect the jack before each use. Take corrective action if any of the following problems are found:
a. cracked, damaged housing
c. leaking hydraulic fluid
e. loose hardware
b. excessive wear, bending, other damage
d. scored, damaged piston rod
f. modified
equipment
5. Keep warning labels and instructional decals clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external
surfaces of the jack.
