4.1.1.
Before using jack, purge hydraulic unit in order to eliminate
any air in the system. Place handle onto the release valve nut
as shown in fig.2 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. see fig.1. When complete,
close the release valve by turning the valve nut clockwise.
Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil onto the pump piston
and pump the handle several times to distribute the oil.
thoroughly lubricate all moving parts.

General jacking.
warninG! Before lifting ensure section 1 safety instructions
‰
are read and understood.
4.2.1.

4.3.2.
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.
4.3.3.
When lifting a load at the jack's maximum rating (2tonne) or
close to it, it is recommended that the effort of raising the
load be reduced by the use of assistance during the operation.
lowering the vehicle

and turn anti-clockwise, very slowly, to open the valve.
4.4.2.
the lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle.
lower carefully, avoid any sudden changes in descent rate which
would shock load the hydraulic system.
5. MainTenance

When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. remove the handle to inactivate jack.
5.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts on a regular basis.
5.3.
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.

fill as required. replace cover. 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.
