MAINTENANCE
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE IS RECOMMENDED. LUBRICATION IS CRITICAL TO JACKS AS THEY
SUPPORT HEAVY LOADS. ANY RESTRICTION DUE TO DIRT, RUST OR CORROSION CAN CAUSE
EITHER SLOW MOVEMENT OR RAPID JERKS DAMAGING THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS. THE
FOLLOWING STEPS ARE DESIGNED TO KEEP THE JACK MAINTAINED AND OPERATIONAL.
1.
LUBRICATE THE RAM, LINKAGES, SADDLE AND PUMP MECHANISM WITH LIGHT OIL.
2.
VISUALLY INSPECT THE JACK FOR CRACKED WELDS, BENT, LOOSE OR MISSING PARTS
AND HYDRAULIC OIL LEAKS.
3.
IF THIS JACK IS FOUND TO BE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY OR OPERATING ABNORMALLY IT
SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL REPAIRED BY A SGS SERVICE CENTRE.
4.
CLEAN ALL SURFACES AND MAINTAIN ALL LABELS AND WARNINGS.
5.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN THE RAM OIL LEVEL.
6.
CHECK THE RAM EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR SIGNS OF RUST OR CORROSION. CLEAN AS
NEEDED AND WIPE WITH AN OILY CLOTH. WHEN NOT IN USE ALWAYS LEAVE THE SAD-
DLE AND RAM FULLY RETRACTED.
ALWAYS STORE THE JACK IN THE FULLY LOWERED POSITION. THIS WILL HELP PROTECT
CRITICAL AREAS FROM CORROSION. DO NOT USE BRAKE OR TRANSMISSION FLUIDS OR
REGULAR MOTOR OIL AS THEY CAN DAMAGE THE SEALS. ALWAYS REFILL WITH HYDRAULIC
JACK OIL.
OWNER/OPERATORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE REPAIR OF THIS JACK REQUIRES SPE-
CIALISED EQUIPMENT AND KNOWLEDGE. ONLY FACTORY AUTHORISED PARTS, LABELS AND
DECALS SHALL BE USED ON THIS EQUIPMENT. AN ANNUAL INSPECTION OF THIS JACK BY
A SGS REPAIR CENTRE IS RECOMMENDED TO ENSURE THE JACK MAINTAINS AN OPTIMUM
OPERATING CONDITION.
