3.1. Before use.
3.1.1. Before using jack for the first time, purge the
hydraulic unit in order to eliminate any air in
the system. Position handle extension over
release valve turn handle anti clockwise to
open release valve. Attach handle extension
to handle.
3.1.2. Pump for 30 to 40 seconds. When complete,
close the release valve by turning the
clockwise.
3.1.3. Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on
pump piston and pump handle several times
to distribute oil. Thoroughly lubricate moving
parts.
3.2. General jacking.
WARNING! Before lifting ensure Safety
instructions are read and understood.
3.2.1. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended lifting point
along sill edge.
3.3. Jacking the vehicle.
3.3.1. Close the release valve. Attach handle
extension
3.3.2. Commence pumping handle up and down using maximum strokes until the jack saddle reaches the vehicle manufactures jacking
point. Check the jacking point is centrally located on the saddle and raise the vehicle.
3.3.3. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
WARNING! The jack is a lifting device only and must not be used to support the load. Use correctly rated axle stands to support
the load.
3.4. Lowering the vehicle.
3.4.1. If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands to be easily removed. Then attach handle extension to release valve
and turn handle anticlockwise very slowly to open the valve.
3.4.2. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle. Lower carefully, avoid any sudden changes in descent rate which
would shock load the hydraulic system.
WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
4. MAINTENANCE
4.1. When not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove handle extension and store in case.
4.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil on a regular basis.
4.3. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to ram, pump, saddle, frame and all parts
including nuts, bolts, pins and other fasteners. If any suspect item is found remove jack from service and take necessary action to
remedy the problem.
8DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock load.
4.4. Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
4.5. After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
WARNING! Only competent personnel should attempt hydraulic maintenance or repair.
4.6. To check the oil level, fully lower the jack. Remove filler plug fig.1. The correct level is the bottom of the hole. If oil level is low, fill as
required. Pump jack 5 or 6 times to expel air. Pump jack up to full height before refitting plug.
8DO NOT touch the safety overload valve fig.1.
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 may cause serious damage to the jack and will
invalidate the warranty.
