instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
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.
1. SAFETY
9Ensure 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 improper parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit working area. Keep working area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
9Use jack on level/solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as jack may sink in.
9Place wedges under wheels of vehicle, but ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
9Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or “PARK” if automatic).
9Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc., to allow for vehicle tilting.
9Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle and that all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack is in use.
Place jack under lifting points recommended by vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle hand book). Ensure lifting point is stable and centred
on saddle.
▲DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.
9Use suitable capacity axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
9Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
8DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
8DO NOT work under the vehicle until axle stands have been correctly positioned.
8DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack (3.0tonne). When lifting a load of maximum capacity or close to it, it is recommended that
the effort be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.
8DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
8DO NOT jack vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.
8DO NOT allow the vehicle to move while supported by the jack, or use the jack to move the vehicle.

system. Turn handle anti clockwise to open release valve.
4.1.3. Pump for 30 to 40 seconds. When complete, close the release valve by turning the handle
clockwise.
4.1.4. Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on pump piston and pump handle several times to
distribute oil. Thoroughly lubricate moving parts.
4.2. General jacking.
WARNING! BeforeliftingensureSafetyinstructionsarereadandunderstood.
4.2.1. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.
4.3. Jacking the vehicle.
4.3.1. Rotate handle clockwise to close the release valve.
4.3.2. 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.
4.3.3. 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.
4.4. Lowering the vehicle.
4.4.1. If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands to be easily removed. Then
turn handle anticlockwise very slowly to open the valve.
4.4.2. 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.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove
the handle to inactivate jack.
5.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil on a regular basis.
5.3.  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 necessary action to remedy the problem.
8DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock load.
5.4. Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean
oiled cloth.
5.5. 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.
5.6. To check the oil level, fully lower the jack. Remove filler plug fig.2E. The correct level is the bottom of
the screw hole. If oil level is low, fill as required. Pump jack 5 or 6 times to expel air. Pump jack up to full
height and pour off excess oil before refitting plug.
8DO NOT touch the safety overload valve fig.2D.
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.
5.7. To drain the oil, remove the filler plug and raise front of jack. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system.
