Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998.

This jack, depending on use, may fall within the scope of LOLER. It is the owner’s responsibility to determine whether or not it does

and, if so, to comply with any applicable requirements, in LOLER, for having the jack thoroughly examined.

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 deactivate the jack.

5.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil/grease on a regular basis.

5.3. 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 filling plug (68) and check that the level is up to the bottom of the filler hole. Add hydraulic oil if necessary (approx. capacity 0.5 litres).

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 oil as this will 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 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.

5.5. Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean cloth and jack oil.

IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
