7. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
V
WARNING! Disconnect jack from air supply before changing parts, servicing or performing any maintenance.
R
7.1.
When the jack is not in use, the piston must be in the lowest position to minimise corrosion.
7.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts, and the air intake connector with air tool oil on a regular basis.
7.3.
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
7.3.1.
Fully lower jack.
7.3.2.
Remove the filler plug (located next to the piston or for YAJ20-40LR it is located on the side of the jack). The oil level should be
level with the indicator inside the filler hole, for YAJ20-40LR, it should be level with the bottom of the filler hole.
7.3.3.
Top up the oil level if necessary but do not overfill as the jack will become inoperative. If inadvertently overfilled the excess oil
should be poured off. After topping up or pouring off excess oil it may become necessary to purge air from the unit. See section 6.3
/ 6.4.
Note: Use a good quality Jack oil, such a SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.
WARNING! DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than hydraulic jack fluid as this may cause serious damage to the jack and
R
will invalidate the warranty!
7.4.
Ensure the air filter located in the air valve is clean.
7.5.
Should the piston not rise and the oil level is correct, this may indicate a problem with air seeping into the hydraulic valve passage.
Purge any air from the system. See 6.3 / 6.4.
7.6.
Confirm that the piston can rise to the highest position.
7.7.
Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts. Or any visible damage to welds, piston, pump, saddle, air
connector, levers, 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 fix the problem.
7.8.
DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take appropriate action.
7.9.
After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. To drain the oil, remove the filler plug
and valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system See 7.3. for refilling instructions.
7.10.
Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE MACHINE.
