5.1. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Lubrication is critical to jacks. Any restriction due to dirt or rust can cause either slow or extremely
rapid jack movement, causing damage to the internal components. To keep the jack well
lubricated, carry out the following steps.
5.1.1. Lubricate the ram, the linkages and the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
5.1.2. Grease the wheel bearings and axles.
5.1.3. Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.
5.1.4. Check and maintain the ram oil level.
5.2. THREE MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
5.2.1. At three monthly intervals, check the ram for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean the ram as
required and wipe with an oiled cloth.
5.3. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
5.3.1. Fully retract the ram by turning the release valve counter-clockwise.
5.3.2. With the jack in the level position, remove the oil ller plug found under the removable magnetic wheel nut retention tray (g.3).
5.3.3. The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil ller hole. If it is not, top up with clean hydraulic jack oil.
5.3.4. Replace the oil ller plug and check the jack operation.
5.3.5. Purge air from the hydraulic unit as required.
NOTE: Always store the jack in the fully lowered position. This will protect critical areas from excessive corrosion.
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.
