IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
5.1. When the Jack is not in use, the ram and the handle socket should be in their lowest position
to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to inactivate Jack.
5.2. Keep the Jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil on a regular basis.
5.3. To check the oil level, fully lower the Jack. Remove filler plug (fig 3). The correct oil level should be approximately 5mm below the
filler opening. If oil level is low, fill as required. Pump unloaded jack 15 to 20 times to expel air and then refit plug.
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!
5.4. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to welds, 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
necessary action to remedy the problem. DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock.
Inspect and take appropriate action.
5.5. Every three months remove the locking rings on the caster wheels and lubricate the ball bearings with acid free grease.
5.6. After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of your jack. To drain the oil, remove the filler cap and
valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system’s oil. Dispose of oil according to local authority regulations. See
5.3. for refill instructions.
5.7. Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE JACK.
Hydraulic products are only repaired by local service agents. We have service/repair agents in all parts of the UK.
DO NOT RETURN JACKS TO US. Please telephone us on 01284 757500 to obtain the address and phone number of your local agent.
If Jack is under guarantee please contact your dealer.
De-commissioning the Jack
Should the Jack become completely unserviceable and require disposal, draw off the oil into an approved container and dispose
of the Jack and the oil according to local regulations.
