4. Maintenance
5. tRoubleshootinG
Important: only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
WaRninG! Do not
use brake fluid, or any fluid other than Sealey hydraulic jack fluid as this may cause serious damage to the
jack and will invalidate the warranty!
4.1.
When the jack is not in use, the ram must be in the lowest position to minimise ram and piston corrosion.
Remove the handle to inactivate jack.
4.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts on a regular basis.
4.3.
To check oil level, fully lower jack. Remove filler plug. The correct oil level should be to the same level as the filler opening.
4.4.
After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of your jack. To drain the oil, remove the filler
plug and valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the oil.
4.5.
Refill with fresh oil. Pump (unloaded jack) 5 or 6 times to expel air. Check level as in 4.3.
WaRninG! do not
use brake fluid, only use a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYdRAULIC JACK OIL
note:
Ensure waste oil is disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
4.6.
Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts. Also check for any visible damage to welds, ram, pump, body,
stand, and all parts. If any suspect item is found remove jack from service and take necessary action to remedy the problem.
do not
use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take appropriate action.
4.7.
Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
