OPERATION
WARNING! Before use, ensure that you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
‰
IMPORTANT: Before use, the operator is to visually inspect the jack for cracked welds, damaged or missing parts or hydraulic leaks.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING: ALWAYS USE AXLE STANDS
Please remember a trolley jack is a lifting device and is not designed to support a load. Never get underneath a vehicle supported only by
a jack - your life is at risk. We stock a comprehensive range of axle stands - please see the Sealey website for full details.
5.1.
RAISING A VEHICLE
5.1.1. Ensure that the jack and the vehicle are on a hard, level surface.
5.1.2. Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or "PARK" if automatic).
5.1.3. Consult the vehicle manual to determine the location of the jacking points. Position the jack under a suitable jacking point.
5.1.4. Turn the release valve clockwise to the closed position (fig.2). DO NOT over-tighten.
5.1.5. Raise the vehicle to the desired height by pumping the handle up and down.
5.1.6. Place axle stands beneath the locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
5.1.7. Turn the release valve slowly counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle on to the axle stands.
5.2.
LOWERING A VEHICLE
5.2.1. Turn the release valve clockwise to the closed position.
5.2.2. Pump the handle to raise the vehicle off the axle stands.
5.2.3. Remove the axle stands from beneath the vehicle.
5.2.4. Turn the release valve slowly counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle to the ground in a controlled manner.
NOTE: When not in use, ALWAYS leave the saddle and ram fully retracted.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
6.1.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
6.1.1. Lubrication is critical to jacks, since they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt or rust can cause either slow jack movement, or
extremely rapid jerks, causing damage to the internal components. To keep the jack well lubricated, carry out the following steps:
6.1.2. Lubricate the ram, the linkages and the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
6.1.3. Grease the wheel bearings and axles.
6.1.4. Lubricate the castors with light oil.
6.1.5. Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.
6.1.6. Check and maintain the ram oil level (Section 6.3).
6.2.
THREE MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
6.2.1. At three monthly intervals, check the ram for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean the ram as required and wipe with an oiled cloth.
6.3.
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
6.3.1. Fully retract the ram by turning the release valve counter-clockwise.
6.3.2. With the jack in a level position, remove the oil filler plug (fig.3)
6.3.3. The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole. If it is not, top up with clean hydraulic jack oil. (Sealey Part No: HJO500MLS or
HJO5LS)
6.3.4. Replace the oil filler plug and check the jack operation.
6.3.5. Purge air from the hydraulic unit as required. Refer to Section 4.6.
NOTE: Always store the jack in the fully lowered position. This will protect critical areas from excessive corrosion.
