5. OPERATION
5.1.
BEFORE FIRST USE
5.1.1.
Before using jack, purge hydraulic unit in order to eliminate any
air in the system. Place handle onto the release valve and
open the valve by turning the handle anti-clockwise, place the
handle back into the jacking socket and pump for 30 to 40
seconds (fig.1). When complete, close the release valve by
turning the valve nut clockwise.
5.1.2.
Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil onto the pump piston
and pump the handle several times to distribute the oil.
5.1.3.
Thoroughly lubricate all moving parts.
5.2.
PREPARATION OF VEHICLE
WARNING!
Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions
are read and understood.
5.2.1.
Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in the safety instructions
ensuring the ground on which the jack is to stand is level and
solid (not tarmacadam).
5.2.2.
Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended lifting point.
5.3.
JACKING UP THE VEHICLE
5.3.1.
Close the release valve using the handle, turn clockwise (fig.1).
5.3.2.
Place the handle into the handle socket and commence pumping handle up and down using maximum strokes until the jack saddle
reaches the vehicle jacking point. Check the jacking point is centrally located on the saddle and raise the vehicle.
5.3.3.
Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open and stop the vehicle from lifting.
WARNING!
The jack is a lifting device only and must not be used to support the load. Use correctly rated axle stands to support the
load. When lifting a load of maximum capacity (3tonne) or close to it, it is recommended that the effort be reduced by the use of
assistance during this operation.
5.4.
LOWERING THE VEHICLE
WARNING!
Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
5.4.1.
If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands to be removed easily. Then place the handle onto the release valve nut
and turn anti-clockwise, very slowly, to open the valve.
5.4.2.
The lowering speed is controlled by a descent control mechanism within the body of the jack.
5.5.
When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to deactivate jack.
5.6.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts on a regular basis.
5.7.
Before each use, check for broken, cracked, bent or loose parts or any visible damage to ram, pump, saddle, lifting arm, frame and
all parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other fasteners. If any suspect item is found, remove jack from service and take necessary
action to remedy the problem.
8
DO NOT
use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock load.
5.8.
Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
5.9.
After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
IMPORTANT:
Only fully qualified personnel should attempt hydraulic maintenance or repair.
5.10.
To
check the oil level, lower the jack fully, remove oil filler plug (fig.1). The correct level is just below the bottom of the plug, if oil level is
low, fill as required.
NOTE:
Use a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.
WARNING: DO NOT
use brake fluid, or any fluid other than hydraulic jack oil as this may cause serious damage to the jack and will
invalidate the warranty!
5.11.
When draining the oil make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system.
IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
