4. ASSEMBLY
fig.1
4.1.
To pump, place the handle into the jacking socket and turn it to engage the external pin as shown in fig.1.
4.2.
To operate the release valve engage the cross pin in the open end of the handle with the slot in the end of the release valve
as shown in fig.2.
5. OPERATION
5.1.
BEFORE FIRST USE.
5.1.1.
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. When complete, close the release valve by turning the valve nut clockwise.
5.1.2.
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.
5.2.
GENERAL JACKING.
WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions are read and understood. When lifting a load of maximum capacity or
‰
close to it, it is recommended that the effort be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.
5.2.1.
Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in the safety instructions ensuring the ground on which the jack is to stand is level and solid (not
tarmacadam).
5.2.2.
Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting point.
5.3.
RAISING THE VEHICLE.
5.3.1.
Close the release valve using the handle as shown in fig.2. Place the handle into the handle socket and commence pumping handle up
and down using maximum strokes until the jack saddle reaches the vehicle jacking point. Check the jacking point is centrally located on
the saddle and raise the vehicle.
5.3.2.
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.
5.4.
LOWERING THE VEHICLE.
WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
‰
5.4.1.
If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands to be easily removed. Then place the handle onto the release valve nut and
turn anti-clockwise, very slowly, to open the valve.
5.4.2.
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.
6. MAINTENANCE
i
6.1.
When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to
minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to inactivate jack.
6.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts on a regular basis.
6.3.
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
8
load or shock load.
6.4.
Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion.
Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
6.5.
After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt hydraulic maintenance or repair.
6.6.
To check the oil level, fully lower the jack. Open the hinged cover and remove oil filler plug (fig.3). The correct level is just below the
bottom of the plug. If oil level is low, fill as required.
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.
6.7.
When draining the oil make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system.
