to raise the load with the foot pedal.
4.2.2.
Commence pumping the handle up and down until the
vehicle reaches the required height.

If the jack becomes overloaded, the safety valve will
operate and prevent the jack from lifting further.
4.3.
Lowering the vehicle.
4.3.1.
To lower the vehicle, open the release valve by lifting and
rotating the handle. The speed of descent can be
controlled by turning the handle gradually.

IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should
attempt maintenance or repair.
5.1.
When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in the lowest
position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to
inactivate the jack.
5.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil on
a regular basis.
5.3.
Every 3 months grease the lifting arm pivot pin and the
castors.
5.4.
The pump and cylinder form a closed hydraulic system and
refilling with oil is only necessary in exceptional cases. To
check oil level:
1) Place jack on a level surface with the saddle fully lowered.
2)
Remove the 4 top cover retaining screws and lift off the cover.
3) The oil is topped up via the filler screw which is situated
on top of the oil reservoir as shown in fig.3.
4) The oil level should be 45mm below the filler hole.
NOTE:
Use a good quality jack oil, such as
SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.
p
WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other
than hydraulic jack fluid as this will cause serious
damage to the jack and will invalidate the warranty!

parts, or any visible damage to ram, pump, saddle, lifting
arm, frame and all parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other
fasteners. If any suspect item is found, remove jack from
service and take the necessary action to remedy the
problem.
DO NOT
use the jack if it is believed to have been subjected
to abnormal or shock loading. Inspect and take appropriate
action.
