4.1.

 

When the jack is not in use, the ram and the handle socket  

 

should be in their lowest positions to minimise corrosion.  

 

Remove the handle to deactivate the jack.

4.2.

 

Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts on a  

 

regular basis, pump grease into the grease nipple (fig.2).

4.3.

 

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. 

 

DO NOT

 use the jack if believed to have been subjected to  

 

abnormal load or shock load. 

4.4.

 

Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs  

 

of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.

4.5.

 

After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend  

 

the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.

I

MPORTANT:

 Only fully qualified personnel should attempt  

 

hydraulic maintenance or repair. 

4.6.

 

To check the hydraulic oil level, fully lower the jack and the  

 

handle and remove the oil filler plug 

(fig.2)

. The correct oil  

 

level should be approximately 5mm below the filler opening.  

 

If oil level is low, fill as required. Make sure that dirt is not  

 

allowed to enter the hydraulic system. Carefully pump unloaded  

 

jack 5 or 6 times to expel any air and then refit oil filler plug. 

 

NOTE:

 Only use a good quality 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!
