MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
If you use and maintain your equipment properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the maintenance
instructions carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never perform any maintenance on the
equipment while it is under a load.
Inspection
You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all components function
before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product performance.
Binding
If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to lower the load safely to
the ground. After un-binding; clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working properly. Rusty components, dirt, or
worn parts can be causes of binding Clean and lubricate the equipment as indicated in the lubrication section. Test the
equipment by lifting without a load. If the binding continues contact Customer Service.
Cleaning
If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to clean the
equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant.
Lubrication
This equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the equipment without proper lubrication will
result in poor performance and damage to the equipment. Some parts in this equipment are not self-lubricating inspect
the equipment before use and lubricate when necessary. After cleaning, lubricate the equipment using light penetrating
oil, lubricating spray.
-Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
-For light duty use lubrication once a month.
-
For heavy and constant use lubrication recommended every week.
-NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!
Rust Prevention:
-Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load lift the equipment as high as it goes and look under and behind the lifting points. If signs of rust are
visible clean as needed.
Grease Fittings
-Some models contain grease fittings the will regularly need to be greased and lubricated.
How the Jack Operates
With release valve closed, air is filled in the reservoir tank into the plunger cavity. Air pressure lifts the load. When the
ram reaches maximum extension, air is bypassed to prevent an over extended ram stroke and possible damage to the
jack. Opening the release valve allows air to escape from the reservoir tank. This releases hydraulic pressure on the
ram, which results in lowering the lifting saddles.
Storing the Jack
1. When not in use, store the jack with pump piston and ram fully retracted.
2. Keep in the upright position.
3. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.
Note: Be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to ensure the jack stays in good working condition. It is not
recommended to store this jack outside.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS:
DO NOT USE MOTOR OIL IN THE JACK.
USE A HIGH QUALITY AIR TOOL OIL.
POUR A TEASPOON OF GOOD QUALITY, AIR TOOL LUBRICANT INTO THE AIR SUPPLY INLET OF THE
LIFT CONTROL VALVE. CONNECT TO AIR SUPPLY AND OPERATE FOR 3 SECONDS TO EVENLY
DISTRIBUTE LUBRICANT.
USE OF A NON-RECOMMENDED FLUID CANCAUSE DAMAGE TO A JACK.
AVOID MIXING DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLUID AND NEVER USE, ALCOHOL, BRAKE FLUID, TURBINE OIL,
TRANSMISSION FLUID, MOTOR OIL, GLYCERIN, OR DIRTY OIL.. IMPROPER FLUID CAN CAUSE
PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE JACK AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SUDDEN AND IMMEDIATE LOSS OF
LOAD.
DISPOSE OF HAZORDOUS FLUIDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS.
Additional Jack Lubrication:
2. Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oil cloth.
NEVER USE SANDPAPER ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!
