IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt
maintenance or repair.
6.1 Monthly Maintenance
Lubrication is critical to jacks, since they support heavy
loads. Any restriction due to dirt or rust can cause either
slow jack movement, or extremely rapid jerks, causing
damage to the internal components. To keep the jack well
lubricated, carry out the following steps.
6.1.1 Lubricate the ram, the linkages and the saddle and pump
mechanism with light oil.
6.1.2 Grease the wheel bearing and axles.
6.1.3 Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.
6.1.4 Check and maintain the ram oil level (Section 6.3).
6.2 Three Monthly Maintenance
6.2.1 At three monthly intervals, check the ram for any signs of
rust or corrosion. Clean the ram as required and wipe with
an oil cloth.
6. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before use ensure you have read,
understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
IMPORTANT: Before use, the operator is to visually inspect
the jack for cracked welds, damaged or missing parts or
hydraulic leaks.
5.1 Raising a Vehicle
5.1.1 Ensure that the jack and the vehicle are on a hard, level
surface.
5.1.2 Always ensure that the vehicle handbrake is engaged and
that the vehicle wheels are chocked.
5.1.3 Consult the vehicle manual to determine the location of
jacking points. Position the jack under a suitable lifting point.

(Fig.3). DO NOT over-tighten.
5.1.5 Raise the vehicle to the designed height by pumping the
handle up and down.
5.1.6 Place axle stands beneath the locations recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer.
5.1.7 Turn the release valve slowly counterclockwise to lower the
vehicle on to the axle stands.

5.2.2 Pump the handle to raise the vehicle off the axle stands.
5.2.3 Remove the axle stands from beneath the vehicle.

6.3 Checking the Oil Level
6.3.1 Fully retract the ram by turning the release valve
counter-clockwise.
6.3.2 With the jack in the level position, remove the oil filler plug
(Fig.4.A).
6.3.3 The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole. If
it is not top up with clean hydraulic jack oil.
6.3.4 Replace the oil filler plug and check the jack operation.
6.3.5 Purge air from the hydraulic unit as required. Refer to
