7. Maintenance - jack
7.1.
When the jack is not in use, the ram and the handle socket should be in their lowest positions to minimise corrosion.
remove the handle to deactivate the jack.
7.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts on a regular basis, pump grease into the grease nipple (fig.5).
7.3.
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 necessary action
to remedy the problem.
7.4.
do not
use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock load.
7.5.
Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
7.6.
After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. use hydraulic jack oil only.
iMportant:
only fully qualified personnel should attempt hydraulic maintenance or repair.
7.7.
to check the hydraulic oil level, fully lower the jack and the handle and remove the oil filler plug (fig.5). the correct oil level should
be approximately 5mm below the
filler opening. if oil level is low, fill as required. make sure that dirt is not allowed to enter the hydraulic
system. carefully pump unloaded jack 5 or 6 times to expel any air and then refit oil filler plug.
7.8.
note:
use a good quality hydraulic jack oil, such as seAleY HYdrAulic JAcK oil.
warninG: do not
use brake fluid, or any fluid other than hydraulic jack oil, as this may cause serious damage to the jack and will
invalidate the warranty!
iMportant: no reSponSibility iS accepted for incorrect uSe of thiS product.
