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 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 jack.
4.5. To replace the oil, fill as required. Pump (unloaded jack) 5 or 6 times to expel air. Pump jack to full height and allow excess oil to run off
before refitting plug.
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 or stand.
If any suspect item is found remove jack from service and take the necessary action to remedy the problem.
DO NOT use the jack if it is 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.
IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE MACHINE.
Hydraulic products are only repaired by local service agents. We have service/repair agents in all parts of the UK.
DO NOT RETURN JACKS TO US.
Please telephone 01284 757500 to obtain the address and telephone number of your local agent. If the
jack is under guarantee please contact your dealer.
De-commissioning:
If the jack eventually becomes completely unserviceable, draw off the oil into an approved container and dispose of the
jack and the oil according to local regulations.
