MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the transmission jack will ensure its durability.
Service and repair transmission jacks in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Important: Entrust maintenance and repair of the transmission jack to skilled personnel, trained in hydraulic systems used in these devices.
When the transmission jack is no longer used, maintain it in the lower position, with the valve closed. Keep the jack and handles clean.
Lubricate moving parts regularly.
Bleed the hydraulic system (§ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE)
- To check or top up the oil level, fully retract the piston, remove the filling plug and empty the oil into a container. Once the transmission jack is in
the horizontal position, fill the volume with appropriate oil matching the indications supplied for the model. The table of parts provided here indicates
the volume of oil necessary. Prevent foreign material from contaminating the new oil. After a period of heavy use, change the oil to extend the lifetime
of the transmission jack.
Important: Excess oil can make the transmission jack inoperative.
Only use hydraulic oil ISO 13
- Check that the supply hoses are neither damaged, nor bent, nor worn. Do not install any load below them, or place them near sources of heat or
hit them. To ensure proper operation of the equipment or avoid any breakage, the hoses must be as straight as possible, without twists, bends or
sharp angles. Also ensure that the connection is made properly. Never disconnect a hose without depressurizing the system first.
- Use only original parts.
- Never modify a transmission jack.
