Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and Ram Plunger for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with
an oily cloth.
NOTICE: Do not use sandpaper or abrasive material on ram or pump piston surfaces.
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with pump piston and Ram Plunger fully retracted and air supply disconnected.
