5.1.
GENERAL
5.1.1. Keep all items clean and lightly oiled. Keep all threads free from
grit and lubricate the ram regularly.
5.1.2. Store the ram in the closed position to prevent piston surface corrosion.

TO CHANGE OIL IN RAM
IMPORTANT: The hydraulic system operates on a specially
formulated oil which must be replaced from time to time.
Use Sealey Hydraulic Jack Oil, available from your
authorised Sealey dealer. Quote model number:
HJO500MLS for 1 x 500ml bottle or PS982/OIL for 15grms
of oil for a single refill.
WARNING! Use of any other oil in ram may cause ram to
fail and will invalidate your warranty. Wear appropriate eye,
face and hand protection.
5.2.1. Dismantle by removing the ram cover (fig.3.2) with soft jaw grips
(fig.3.A) (body may have to be held in a soft jaw vice, ensure
body thread is not damaged). Caution! The cover is spring
loaded, take care when removing. Carefully remove
components 2, 3, and 4 from the cylinder.
5.2.2. Screw T-handle (fig.4.5) down as far as it will go, then unscrew
and remove it from the body (fig.4.5).
5.2.3. Push a narrow screw driver (fig.4.9), or a rod of appropriate
diameter, down the small opening in head of ram (B), in order to
push components 6, 7, and 8, plus the oil, out of the main
cylinder. Note: A medium force may be required.
5.2.4. Remove remaining oil from main cylinder, clean all components
and replace any showing signs of damage or wear.
