STYLE
MODEL No's: 3000ES, 5000ES, 10000ES
Your new jack is produced and manufactured to a high standard of dependability and will give you years of trouble free performance if used
according to these instructions and properly maintained.
1. SAFETY
Ensure the jack is in sound condition and 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 level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as jack may sink in.
Place wedges under wheels of vehicle (but ensure wheels of jack can move freely).
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or “Park” if automatic).
Ensure 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 saddle 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, or use the jack to move the vehicle.
 DO NOT jack vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.
 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 intended.
 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 jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof area.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE THE
PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
5.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion.
Remove the handle to deactivate jack.
5.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil on a regular basis.
5.3. To check the oil level, 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.
5.3.1. Remove the filler screw. Correct oil level is just below the lower edge of the filling hole (fig.1).
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!
5.4. 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.
5.5. 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 5.3. for refill instructions.
5.6. Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
Hydraulic products are only repaired by local service agents. We have service/repair agents in all parts of the UK.
DO NOT RETURN jACkS TO US. Please telephone us on 01284 757500 to obtain the address and telephone number of your local

If jack is under guarantee you can also contact your local dealer.
De-commissioning:
Should the jack become completely unserviceable, draw off the oil into an approved container and dispose of the jack and the oil
according to local regulations.
5. MAINTENANCE
4.1. General jacking
WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.
4.1.1. Prepare vehicle as described in safety instructions ensuring that the ground on which jack is to stand is level and solid (not tarmacadam).
4.1.2. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point (see vehicle handbook).
4.2. Jacking the vehicle
4.2.1. Ensure the release valve is closed (i.e. the handle is pushed down and turned fully clockwise). Commence pumping the handle, or the
foot pedal, using the full stroke, until the vehicle reaches the working height.
4.2.2. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open and stop the vehicle from lifting.
4.3. Lowering the vehicle
4.3.1. Pull the handle up and turn it anti-clockwise to open the valve and lower the load.
4.3.2. The loaded lowering speed is controlled and constant regardless of how much you turn the handle.
 WARNING! Ensure that there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of descent.
4. OPERATION
3.1. Remove locating bolt at the front of the handle base. Push handle into socket and re-insert locating bolt through the socket, ensuring that it
fits correctly in the groove.
3.2. Before using the jack for the first time, purge hydraulic circuit in order to eliminate any air in the system. To do so, pull the handle
upward and turn it anti-clockwise to open the release valve. Hold the handle in the open position and pump it up and down 7 or 8
times. To close the hydraulic valve turn the handle clockwise and push down.
3.3. Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on the pump piston and pump the handle several times to distribute the oil. Lubricate all moving
parts thoroughly.
