MAINTENANCE
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support
heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc, can cause either slow movement or cause
extremely rapid jerks damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed
to keep the jack well maintained and operational.
Important: Dirt is the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic units. Keep the jack clean
and well lubricated to prevent foreign matter from entering the system. If the jack has
been exposed to rain, snow, sand, or grit it must be cleaned before it is stored or used.
Only use replacement parts that are approved by the manufacturer. Disconnect the
air supply before performing any maintenance operation.
Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle, wheels and pump mechanism with light oil.
Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
Any hydraulic jack found to be damaged, worn or operates abnormally must be
removed from service until repaired by an authorised service representative.
Regularly clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
Check and maintain the hydraulic ram oil level.
Check the ram every three months for any sign of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed
and wipe with an oily cloth.
Always store your jack in the fully retracted position. This will help protect critical
areas from corrosion. Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as
they can damage the seals.
To Check Oil Level: With the jack in an upright position and the ram completely retracted,
open the release valve (turn counter-clockwise) and remove the oil filler plug. The oil level
should be just up to the filler hole. Fill if necessary using top quality hydraulic jack oil.
ONLY USE HIGH QUALITY HYDRAULIC FLUID – ISO68
