4 Inspection
The product shall be maintained in accordance with the product instructions. No alterations shall be made to this product.
1. Before use, a visual inspection of the jack should be made for abnormal conditions such as cracked welds, damage, bent,
worn, loose or missing parts, or hydraulic leaks.
2. Inspections shall be performed in accordance with this manual.
3. The product shall be inspected immediately if the jack is believed to have been subject to an abnormal load or shock. It is
recommended that this inspection be made by an authorized customer service representative prior to use.
5 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 extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components.
5.1 General maintenance
1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil. Grease wheel bearings and axles.
2. Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
3. If the jack is subjected to abnormal load or shock, remove from service and have it examined by a customer service
representative prior to use.
4. Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
5. Check and maintain the ram oil level.
6. Check the ram every 3 month for any sign of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oil cloth.
7. When not in use, always leave the saddle and ram all the way down.
8. Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will help protect critical areas from excessive corrosion.
9.
Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can damage the seals. Always purchase and use
products labelled hydraulic jack oil.
5.2 Check oil level
1. Turn the release valve counterclockwise to allow the ram to fully retract. It may be necessary to apply force to the saddle for
lowering.
2.
With the jack in the level position, remove the oil fill plug. Stand the jack in vertical position with handle socket down. The
oil should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. If not, top off. Do not overfill. Always fill with new, clean hydraulic jack
oil.
3.
Replace the fill plug.
4. Check the jack operation.
5. Purge the air from the system as required.
