Important:
only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
WarnInG:
DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid,
other than a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL
, as this may
cause
serious damage to the jack and will invalidate the warranty!
note:
Ensure waste oil is disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
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 with acid free oil 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 release valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the oil reservoir.
4.5. Replace release valve and refill with fresh oil. Pump (unloaded jack) 5 or 6 times to expel air. Check level as in 4.3. Refit filler plug.
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.
