Ensure that the jack is in sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate

repair or replacement of damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unapproved parts may be

dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

Locate the jack in an adequate, well lit work area.

Check that the lifting point is stable and centred on the jack saddle.

 Ensure that the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.

 IMPORTANT! During the jacking operation ensure that you can always see the vehicle-to-jack

saddle contact point.

 DANGER! Use the Jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.

Use correctly rated axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.

 Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR:

TROLLEY JACKS

Your new Trolley Jack is produced and manufactured to a high standard of dependability, and if correctly cared for, will give you years of trouble

free performance.

IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.

USE THIS JACK 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. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2. ASSEMBLY

3.1. Before first use

Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic circuit, in order to eliminate any air in the system,

by turning the handle anti-clockwise to open, and pumping 8 or 9 times (fig. 2).

3.2. Jacking

WARNING! Before lifting ensure that Section 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.

3.2.1. Prepare the vehicle as described in the safety instructions, ensuring that the ground on which

the jack is to stand is level and solid (not tarmacadam).

3.2.2. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.

3.3. Rocket Lift Pedal - Model 3030CXD only

Note: You can use your Rocket Lift jack as a standard trolley jack with out the Rocket Lift pedal. If this is your intention please

ignore references to the Rocket Lift pedal in the following instructions.

There are two methods of operating the Rocket Lift mechanism to raise the jack swiftly to the designated vehicle lifting point.

3.3.1. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the release valve is closed. Depress the Rocket Lift pedal (fig. 1) and the saddle will rise and stop

once contact is made with the vehicle lifting point. The saddle will then drop back about 60mm.

3.3.2. Alternatively, turn handle to the left so the release valve is open, operate the foot pedal (fig. 1) until saddle is at desired height and then

close the valve quickly. This will avoid the saddle “dropping back”.

3.4. Jacking

Weight Distribution

Up to 80% of the lifted load is carried by the front jack wheels, placing exceptional stress on the point of contact with the supporting

floor. For this reason use on a hard level concrete surface only.

3.4.1. Turn the handle clockwise to close the valve and commence pumping the handle up and down using maximum strokes until the vehicle

reaches the working height.

Note: If the jack becomes overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting further.

3.5. Lowering

3.5.1. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle. Lower carefully, avoiding sudden release.

 WARNING! Ensure that there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.

IMPORTANT! Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.

4.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram and the handle socket should be in their lowest positions to minimise

corrosion. Remove the handle to deactivate the jack.

4.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with a good quality oil on a regular basis.

4.3. To check the hydraulic oil level, fully lower the jack and remove filler plug (fig. 3). The correct oil level should be approximately 5mm

below the filler opening. If oil level is low, fill as required. Pump unloaded jack 5 or 6 times to expel air and then refit plug.

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 fluid as this may cause serious damage to the jack and will

invalidate the warranty!

4.4. Before each use, check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to welds, 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.

DO NOT use the jack if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take appropriate action.

4.5. Every three months remove the locking rings on the caster wheels and lubricate the ball bearings with grease.

4.6. After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of your equipment. To drain the oil, remove the filler

cap and valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system. See 4.3. for refill instructions.

4.7. Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.

IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE MACHINE.

Hydraulic products are only repaired by local service agents. We have service/repair agents in all parts of the UK.

DO NOT RETURN JACKS TO US. Please telephone us on 01284 757500 to obtain the address and telephone number of your local agent.

If the jack is under guarantee please contact your dealer.

De-commissioning

If the jack becomes completely unserviceable, draw off the oil into an approved container and dispose of the jack and the oil according to local

regulations.
