PROBLEM
ACTION
1. Unit will not lift rated load.
Purge air from hydraulic system by following procedure under SETUP.
2. Unit will not sustain rated load or feels “spongy” under rated load.
Purge air from hydraulic system as above.
3. Unit will not lift to full height.
Purge air from hydraulic system as above.
4. Handle tends to raise up while the unit is under rated load.
Pump the handle rapidly several times to push oil past ball valves in
power unit.
INSPECTION
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged, loose or missing parts.
Each jack must be inspected by a manufacturer’s repair facility immediately if subjected to an abnormal load or shock. Any jack which
appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary
repairs are made by a manufacturer’s authorized repair facility. It is recommended that an annual inspection of the jack be made by a
manufacturer’s authorized repair facility and that any defective parts, decals or warning labels be replaced with manufacturer’s specified
parts. A list of authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.
PROPER STORAGE
It is recommended that the jack be stored in a dry location with all wheels touching the ground on a relatively level surface.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Important: Service jacks are self-contained devices used for lifting, but not sustaining, a partial vehicular load. In accordance with
ASME-PASE Load Sustaining Test: “A load not less than the rated capacity…shall not lower more than 1/8
"
(3.18mm) in the first minute, nor a
total of .1875
"
(4.76mm) in 10 minutes.” Lowering within this range is considered normal operation and is NOT a warrantable defect.
OWNER/USER RESPONSIBILITY
The owner and/or user must have an understanding of the manufacturer’s operating instructions and warnings before using this jack.
Personnel involved in the use and operation of equipment shall be careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the
equipment and its proper use when servicing motor vehicles and their components. Warning information should be emphasized and
understood. If the operator is not fluent in English, the manufacturer’s instructions and warning shall be read to and discussed with the
operator in the operator’s native language by the purchaser/owner, making sure that the operator comprehends its contents. Owner and/or
user must study and maintain for future reference the manufacturers’ instructions. Owner and/or user is responsible for keeping all warning
labels and instruction manuals legible and intact. Replacement labels and literature are available from the manufacturer.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
3. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak
requires immediate repair which must be performed in a dirt-free environment by an authorized service center.
IMPORTANT:
In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the jack. Use
Chevron Hydraulic Oil AW ISO 32, Unocal Unax AW150 or hydraulic jack oil.
4. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces
of the jack but not any moving hydraulic components.
5. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage or leaks
hydraulic fluid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective
action before using the jack again.
6. Any hydraulic repairs within the warranty period must be performed by an authorized service center.
