4. ASSEMBLY
4.1.
Loosen locating bolt at the side of the handle base. Push handle into socket and re-tighten locating bolt, ensuring that it fits correctly in the
groove.
5.
OPERATION
5.1.
Priming the hydraulics
5.2.
Before using the jack for the first time, purge hydraulic circuit in order to eliminate any air in the system. To do so, pull the handle
upward and turn it anti-clockwise to open the release valve. Hold the handle in the open position and pump it 20 times. To close the
hydraulic valve turn the handle clockwise and push down.
5.3.
Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on the pump piston and pump the handle several times to distribute the oil.
5.4.
Lubricate all moving parts thoroughly.
5.5.
Preparation
WARNING!
Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.
5.5.1.
Prepare vehicle as described in safety instructions ensuring that the ground on which jack is to stand is level and solid (not
tarmacadam).
5.5.2.
Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point (see vehicle handbook).
5.6.
Jacking the vehicle
5.6.1.
Ensure the release valve is closed (i.e. the handle is pushed down and turned fully clockwise). Commence pumping the handle, or the
foot pedal, using the full stroke, until the vehicle reaches the working height.
5.6.2.
Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open and stop the vehicle from lifting.
5.7.
Lowering the vehicle
5.7.1.
Pull the handle up and turn it anti-clockwise to open the valve and lower the load.
5.7.2.
The lowering speed is controlled and constant regardless of how much the handle is turned.
WARNING!
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 its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to deactivate the jack.
6.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil on a regular basis.
6.3.
Checking the oil level
6.3.1.
Pump the jack to approximately half height and with the help of another person, upend the jack (i.e. so that the ram is vertical and the
jack is resting on the handle).
WARNING:
Ensure that a second person remains to hold the jack stable in the upended position -
DO NOT
attempt this operation
unaided.
6.3.2.
Remove the filler plug located on top of the ram. Correct oil level is just below the lower edge of the filling hole.
Approximate oil capacity - 0.3ltr.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
overfill as this may effect the smooth operation of the jack.
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 may cause serious damage to the jack and will
invalidate the warranty!
6.4.
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 defect.
DO NOT
use the jack if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock load. Inspect and
take appropriate action.
6.5.
After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Drain and refill via the filler plug. Make sure that no dirt
is allowed to enter the hydraulic system. See 6.3. for refill instructions.
6.6.
Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
Owing to their size and weight, hydraulic products should ideally be repaired by local service agents. We have service / repair
agents in most parts of the UK. Before returning your product please call our technical helpline on 01284 757505 for advice
and troubleshooting guidance.
If the jack is under guarantee please contact your stockist.
