Check chapter 6 troubleshooting. If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts immediately.
999Use authorised parts only, the use of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
999Ensure the jacking area is clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and there is adequate lighting.
999Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam since the jack may sink in.
999Park the vehicle and apply hand brake; if automatic, place in Park (P) mode. Switch off the engine, and place chocks under the wheels.
999Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle tilt and static objects such as doors, walls, etc.
999Ensure all persons are out of the vehicle before jacking. DO NOT enter vehicle whilst it is supported on the jack or axle stands.
999Check vehicle weight and recommended lifting points by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual. Ensure the lifting point is not corroded.
999Check jack saddle is centred and stable on lifting point, (off-centre loads can slip). Position jack to avoid operating it from under vehicle.
9▲9DANGER! Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load. ALWAYS USE PROPERLY RATED AXLE STANDS.
999Keep hands etc. clear of moving parts during raising and lowering of the vehicle.
999Use properly rated axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
9▲9DANGER! Roadside wheel change is hazardous. Be extra vigilant. You may not be able to avoid jacking on tarmacadam. Get everyone
out of vehicle. NEVER go under vehicle, traffic may cause vehicle to rock. Use hazard warning lights. If in doubt call professional help.
999When changing a wheel, slightly loosen wheel nuts prior to jacking vehicle. Screw wheel nuts back before lowering vehicle.
999Use a competent person to lubricate and maintain the jack.
989DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack, and9DO NOT operate the jack beyond its maximum pump stroke.
99WARNING! DO NOT allow the vehicle to move during jacking. DO NOT start the engine when vehicle is jacked up.
989DO NOT jack a vehicle if it may result in the spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.
989DO NOT place any part of your body under vehicle whilst supported by jack. Wait until properly rated axle stands have been correctly
positioned.
989DO NOT use jack to support extensions or cradles. DO NOT modify jack in any way. DO NOT use the jack for any other purpose than
that for which it is designed.
989DO NOT top up jack hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic oil only, and DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
999Ensure there are no persons or obstruction beneath the vehicle before lowering.
999Clean, and stow the jack securely, with the ram in the down position. Ensure stowage area is dry.
99WARNING! Remember, It is very dangerous to get under a vehicle supported by a jack even if additional supports are used.

4. OPERATION
4.1. Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic circuit, in
order to eliminate any air from the system that may have
accumulated during transit, as follows:
a) Insert jack handle over release valve (fig.1) and turn
anti-clockwise to open valve.
b) Insert jack handle into the handle socket (fig.1) and
pump several times to ensure full internal lubrication and
to bleed air from the system.
c) When complete place the handle back over the release
valve and turn clockwise to close.
999 WARNING! Ensure you prepare vehicle and use jack
according to chapter 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
4.2. Check that the supporting ground upon which the jack will
stand is level and solid and not tarmacadam.
4.3. Position the jack saddle (fig.1) under the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended lifting point ensuring the
saddle is correctly centred beneath the load. Ensure jack
is positioned to avoid having to operate it from under the
vehicle, and that the handle is free to move up and down.
4.4. Pump the handle up and down using full stroke range so that the saddle reaches the working height quickly.
4.5. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety overload valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
4.6. Position axle stands under the vehicle before attempting any work.
4.7. LOWERING THE LOAD
4.7.1. Ensure the axle stands are removed and that there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
4.7.2. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn release valve. Turn anti-clockwise and lower carefully, avoiding sudden release.
5. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully competent personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
NOTE: Use Sealey quality hydraulic jack oil, Model No.s HJO500MLS / HJO5LS to top up or replace the hydraulic uid.
IMPORTANT: Ensure waste oil is disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
5.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram must be in the lowest position to minimise ram and piston corrosion.
5.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil on a regular basis.
5.3. To check oil level, lower the jack fully. Remove the filler plug. The correct oil level should be to the same level as the filler opening.
5.4. After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of your jack. To drain the oil, remove the filler plug
and release valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the oil reservoir.
5.5. Replace release valve and refill with fresh oil. Pump the unloaded jack 5 or 6 times to expel air. Check level as in 5.3. Refit filler plug.
5.6. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts. Also check for any visible damage to welds, ram, pump, body, stand,
and all parts. If any suspect item is found remove the jack from service and take necessary action to remedy the problem.
8DO NOT use the jack if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take appropriate action
5.7. Check the pump piston and piston periodically rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE JACK.
NOTE: 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 trouble
shooting guidance.
NOTE: If the jack is under guarantee please contact your Sealey stockist.
5.8. DE-COMMISSIONING THE JACK Should the jack become completely unserviceable and require disposal, draw off the oil into an
approved container and dispose of the jack and the oil according to local regulations.
