INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose or missing parts. Each jack must be
inspected by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately if subjected to an abnormal load or shock. Any jack which appears to be damaged in any way, is found
to be badly worn, or operates abnormally
MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE
until necessary repairs are made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility.
It is recommended that an annual inspection of the jack be made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that any defective parts, decals or warning
labels be replaced with manufacturer’s specified parts. A list of authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other harmful
elements.
The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to the threads on the
extension screw. Do not lubricate any portion of the lift saddle and make sure the saddle is free from grease, any kind of lubricant, or debris before using
the jack. Worn parts resulting from inadequate or no lubrication are not eligible for warranty consideration.
3. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires immediate repair
which must be performed in a dirt-free environment by an authorized service center.
In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid or transmission oil in the jack.
Use hydraulic jack oil only.
4. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the jack but not any
moving hydraulic components.
5. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage or leaks hydraulic fluid. Do not use
the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before using the jack again.
6. Any hydraulic repairs within the warranty period must be performed by an authorized service center.
Failure to follow these Preventative Maintenance instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
Failure to follow these Inspection instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
