Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication

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 on page 4.
3. Before each use, check oil level:
a. Open Release Valve by turning it
counterclockwise. Lower the Jack
to its lowest position. Press down
on the Saddle if necessary.
b. With the Jack upright in a level,
vertical position and the Handle
pointing down in the Fulcrum, carefully
remove the Oil Fill Plug. The oil level
should be level with the bottom of
Oil Fill hole. Top off if necessary but
do not overfill. Always fill with clean
hydraulic jack oil (not included).
c. Reinstall Oil Fill Plug and close
Release Valve by turning it
clockwise. Check Jack operation.
Bleed air from system as needed,
see instructions on page 4.

4. Change the hydraulic oil at least
once every three years:
a. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the
Oil Fill Plug on the side of the Housing.
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. Then, reinstall the Oil Fill Plug
and check jack operation. Bleed
air from system as needed, see
instructions on page 4.
5. Clean with a clean cloth with a detergent
or mild solvent. Then, store the Jack in a
safe, dry location out of reach of children
and other non-authorized people.
