NOTE: Dispose of hydraulic jack oil in accordance to local regulation (see Disposal).
LUBRICATION
Clean the outside of the jack with a dry, clean cloth. Periodically lubricate the joints, extension screw and
all moving parts with a light oil as needed
Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any restrictions due to dirt, rust, etc. can
cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components.
STORAGE
Store the jack in a dry location with the ram and extension screw fully lowered. This will help protect
critical areas from corrosion. Apply a thin coat of lubricant to exposed steel parts to avoid rust. Remove
the lubricant coating from the steel parts before using the tool again.
DISPOSAL OF THE BOTTLE JACK
Recycle a tool damaged beyond repair at the appropriate facility. Contact your local municipality for a
listing of disposal facilities.
DISPOSAL OF HYDRAULIC FLUID
Do not drain hydraulic jack oil into the sewer system or dispose in an uncontrolled location. Hydraulic
fluid may take up to a year to breakdown in the environment and the ingredients may still be toxic.
Contact your local municipality for proper disposal instructions or locations.
