Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these
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 chocks 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 (1.5tonne). 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.
8DO NOT top up hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic jack oil only and use a qualified person to
maintain jack hydraulic system.
8DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
8DO NOT use jack for purposes other than which it is designed.
8DO NOT allow persons to ride on the jack.
9When not in use store jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof area.
