Inspection, Maintenance, & Cleaning
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the
Jack. Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose
or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the
proper operation of the product. If a problem occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
2. Before each use, thoroughly test the Jack for
proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Jack
appears not to be working properly, follow Bleeding
instructions in ”Bleeding” on page 4.
3. Change hydraulic oil at least once every three years:
a. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the Oil
Fill Screw on the side of the Hydraulic Unit.
b. Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil
to drain out of the Housing completely,
and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in
accordance with local regulations.
c. With the Jack upright, completely fill the Housing
with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until
the oil just begins to run out of the oil fill hole.
d. Open the Release Screw and pump the
Handle to bleed air from the system.
e. Recheck oil level and re-fill as needed.
f. Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug.
4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the
Jack in a safe, dry location out of reach of
children and other non-authorized people.
Troubleshooting
To Prevent Serious Injury:
Use caution when troubleshooting a malfunctioning jack. Stay well clear of the supported load.
Completely resolve all problems before use. If the solutions presented in the Troubleshooting guide
do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician inspect and repair the jack before use.
After the jack is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising and lowering it fully,
checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING THE JACK TO OPERATION.
DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING JACK!
