5. OPERATION
5.1.
Loosen locating bolt at the side of the handle base. Push handle into socket and re-tighten locating bolt, ensuring that it fits correctly in the
groove.
6. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
6.1.
When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to deactivate the
jack.
6.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil on a regular basis.
6.3.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
6.3.1.
Pump the jack to approximately half height and with the help of another person, upend the jack (i.e. so that the ram is vertical and
the jack is resting on the handle).
WARNING: Ensure that a second person remains to hold the jack stable in the upended position - DO NOT attempt this operation
‰
unaided.
6.3.2.
Remove the filler plug located on top of the ram. Correct oil level is just below the lower edge of the filling hole.
Approximate oil capacity - 0.3ltr.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill as this may effect the smooth operation of the jack.
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 fluid, as this may cause serious damage to the jack and
‰
will invalidate the warranty!
6.4.
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 the
necessary action to remedy the defect. DO NOT use the jack if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or
shock load. Inspect and take appropriate action.
6.5.
After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Drain and refill via the filler plug. Make sure that no
dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system. See 6.3. for refill instructions.
6.6.
Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
Owing to their size and weight, hydraulic products should ideally be repaired by local service agents. We have service / repair
agents in most parts of the UK. Before returning your product please call our technical helpline on 01284 757505 for advice
and troubleshooting guidance.
If the jack is under guarantee please contact your stockist.
