4.1.
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.
4.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts on a
regular basis, pump grease into the grease nipple (fig.2).
4.3.
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.
DO NOT
use the jack if believed to have been subjected to
abnormal load or shock load.
4.4.
Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs
of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
4.5.
After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend
the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.

MPORTANT:
Only fully qualified personnel should attempt
hydraulic maintenance or repair.
4.6.
To check the hydraulic oil level, fully lower the jack and the
handle and remove the oil filler plug
(fig.2)
. 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.
NOTE:
Only use a good quality hydraulic jack oil.
p
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!
