Inspection, Maintenance, & Cleaning

  Procedures not specifically explained 

in this manual must be performed 

only by a qualified technician.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: 

Do not use damaged equipment.  If abnormal 

noise or vibration occurs, have the problem 

corrected before further use.

1.  Before each use, inspect the general condition of the 

Jack.  Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose 

or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the 

proper operation of the product.  If a problem occurs, 

have the problem corrected before further use. 

Do not use damaged equipment.

2.  Before each use, thoroughly test the Jack 

for proper operation prior to its actual use.  

If the Jack appears not to be working properly, 

follow Bleeding instructions on page 2.

3.  Change hydraulic oil at least once every three years:

a.  With the Jack fully lowered, remove the Oil 

Fill Screw on the side of the Hydraulic Unit.

b.  Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil to drain out 

of the Housing completely, and dispose of the old 

hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.

c.  With the Jack upright, completely fill the Housing 

with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until 

the oil just begins to run out of the oil fill hole.

d.  Open the Release Screw and pump the 

Handle to bleed air from the system.

e.  Recheck oil level and re-fill as needed. 
f.  Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug.

4.  Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the 

Jack in a safe, dry location out of reach of 

children and other non-authorized people.
