4.3.
Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on the pump piston and pump the handle several times to distribute the oil. Thoroughly lubricate
all moving parts.
5. OpERATION
5.1.
Refer to figs.1 & 2
NOTE: Locking lever must be in the upper (jacking) position before handle can be pumped. Ensure that it is left in the
locked position afterwards.
WARNING!
before lifting, ensure Section 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.
5.2.
Prepare vehicle as described in safety instructions ensuring the ground on which jack is to stand is level and solid (not tarmacadam).
We recommend concrete.
5.3.
Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point (see vehicle handbook).
5.4.
RAISING THE JACK
NOTE:
The jack saddle may be raised quickly up to the load using the foot pedal.
8
DO NOT
attempt to raise the load with the foot pedal.
5.4.1.
Turn the release valve handle clockwise until resistance is felt to close the release valve.
DO NOT
over-tighten.
5.4.2.
Place the jack directly under the object to be lifted. Make sure the saddle accepts weight firmly and centrally. Check positioning under
slight load to confirm jack or load will not slip, or move suddenly.
5.4.3.
Raise jack by moving locking lever to the jacking position pump handle until the desired height is reached. After lifting, secure and
transfer load to axle stands or other appropriate means.
DO NOT
use jack as the only means of support.
5.5.
LOWERING THE JACK.
5.5.1.
Slowly turn the release valve handle anticlockwise. Speed of descent is controlled by amount release valve is turned.
SAfETY WARNING!
Always lower in a slow and controlled manner and ensure that there are no persons or obstacles beneath the
vehicle, or in the path of descent.
6. MAINTENANCE
IMpORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
6.1.
When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in the lowest position to minimise corrosion.
6.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil on a regular basis.
6.3.
every 3 months grease the lifting arm pivot pin and the rear castors via the grease nipples provided.
6.4.
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 top cover by pulling up.
3) The oil is topped up via the rubber bung which is situated on top of the cylinder nearest to the ram end of the pump.
NOTE:
Use a good quality jack oil, such as SeAleY HYdRAUlIC JACK oIl.
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!
6.5.
Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose 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.
8
DO NOT
use the jack if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal or shock loading. Inspect and take appropriate action.
6.6.
Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean cloth and jack oil.
