Ensure that the jack is in good working order. Take action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged
parts. Use genuine parts only. The use of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
 Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit work area.
 Keep work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
Use jack on a level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as the jack may sink in.
Place wedges under wheels of the vehicle (but ensure wheels of the jack can move freely).
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine/motor is switched off and transmission is in 1st or reverse
gear.
Ensure a minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc., to allow for
vehicle tilting.
Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack is in use.
Only place jack under those lifting points recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle handbook).
Check the lifting point is stable and centred on the jack saddle.
Ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.
Use suitable capacity axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
Use a qualified person to maintain or repair the jack hydraulic system.
 DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
 DO NOT allow the vehicle to move while supported by the jack and DO NOT use the jack to move the vehicle.
 DO NOT jack the vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substance.
 DO NOT work under the vehicle until axle stands have been correctly positioned.
 DO NOT use the jack for purposes other than that for which it is designed.
 DO NOT top up hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
When not in use store the jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof area.
 WARNING! It is very dangerous to go under a vehicle which is supported by a jack even if additional
supports are used. DO NOT go under a vehicle unless it is supported by adequately rated axle stands.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that you can see the saddle and jacking point throughout the jacking operation
in case there is any relative movement.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING! ALWAYS USE RATED STANDS.
Please remember a jack is a lifting and lowering device and is not designed to support a load. Never get
underneath a vehicle/load supported only by a jack; your life is at risk. We stock a comprehensive range of axle
stands, for example, please see relevant catalogue section for full details. The jack is not limited to forklift/
tractor/vehicle use only, with many applications in the engineering and construction industries.
Read the instructions Wear protective footwear Warning crushing of hands Use wheel chocks
Use axle stands
See 4.3.

Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998.
This jack, depending on use, may fall within the scope of LOLER. It is the owner’s responsibility to determine whether or not it does and, if so,
to comply with any applicable requirements, in LOLER, for having the jack thoroughly examined.
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
6.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in the lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to deactivate the jack.
6.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil/grease on a regular basis.
6.3. The pump and cylinder form a closed hydraulic system and refilling with oil is only necessary in exceptional cases. To check oil level:
1) Place jack on a level surface with the saddle fully lowered.
2) Remove filler screw and check that level is up to bottom of filler hole. Add hydraulic oil if necessary.
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 will 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 problem.
DO NOT use the jack if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal or shock loading. Inspect and take appropriate action.
6.5. Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean cloth and jack oil.
IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THIS PRODUCT.

WARNING! Before lifting, ensure that Section 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.
5.1.1. Prepare vehicle as described in safety instructions ensuring that the ground on which jack is to stand is level and solid (not
tarmacadam).
