WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 Safety Instructions are followed strictly.
4.1. Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic system as follows, in order to eliminate any air that may have
accumulated during transit:
a) Fit jack handle over release valve (fig.1.1) and turn anti-clockwise to open valve.
b) Insert jack handle into the sleeve (fig.1.2) and pump several times to ensure full internal lubrication
and to bleed air from the system.
c) Fit jack handle back over the release valve and turn clockwise to close.
4.2. Lifting
WARNING!
Ensure you prepare vehicle and use jack according to Section 1 Safety Instructions
.
4.2.1. Check that the ground upon which the jack will stand is level and solid.
4.2.2. Position the jack saddle (fig.1.3) under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point. Position
jack so as to avoid having to operate it from under the vehicle and so that the handle can be moved up
and down without hitting any part of the vehicle.
4.2.3. Using the screw extension (if available) as necessary, raise the saddle to the lifting point. Ensure that the
saddle is centred correctly beneath the lifting point.
4.2.4. Pump the handle up and down using full strokes until the required lift is achieved.
4.2.5. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety overload valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
4. OPERATION
fig.1
4.2.6. Lower the vehicle onto suitable axle stands before attempting any work.
4.3. Lowering
4.3.1. Ensure that the axle stands are removed and that there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
4.3.2. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount the release valve is opened. Turn the valve anti-clockwise and lower slowly and carefully.
5. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT:
Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than Sealey hydraulic jack fluid, as to do so may cause serious damage to the jack
and will invalidate the warranty!
5.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram and piston must be in their lowest positions to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle.
5.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil on a regular basis.
5.3. To check oil level, fully lower the jack. Remove filler plug. The correct oil level is to the bottom of the filler opening.
5.4.
DO NOT
make any adjustments to the overload valve (fig.1.4). This factory-set and must not be tampered with.
5.5. After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Drain the oil through the filler plug opening.
Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the jack or the fresh oil.
5.6. To replace the oil fill as required. Pump (unloaded jack) 5 or 6 times to expel air. Pump jack to full height and pour off excess oil before
refitting plug.
Note: Ensure waste oil is disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
5.7. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts. Also check for any visible damage to welds, ram, pump, body and base.
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 believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take appropriate action.
5.8. Check the pump piston and piston rod periodically for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
