RAISING A VEHICLE
1. Make sure the jack and vehicle are on a hard level surface.
2. Always set the vehicle handbrake and chock the wheels.
3. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual to ascertain the location of
jacking points and position the jack beneath the lift point.
4. Turn the handle clockwise to the closed position.
5. To raise the vehicle pump the handle up and down.
6. Place jack stands beneath the vehicle at locations recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer. Do not work under the vehicle
without the use of jack stands. Jacks are not designed to maintain
heavy loads for long periods of time. Do not attempt to place jack
stands simultaneously under both ends of a vehicle or along one
side of a vehicle.
7. Turn the handle slowly counter clockwise to lower the vehicle onto
the jack stands.
LOWERING A VEHICLE
1. Turn the handle clockwise to close the release valve.
2. Pump the handle to lift the vehicle off the jack stands.
3. Remove the jack stands. Do not get under the vehicle while the
vehicle is being lowered.
4. Turn the handle slowly counter clockwise to lower the vehicle onto
the ground.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Daily. See INSPECTION BEFORE EACH USE (page 2).
Monthly. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy
loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust or corrosion can cause
either slow movement or rapid jerks damaging the internal
components. The following steps are designed to keep the
jack maintained and operational:
1. Open the release valve by turning the handle knob counter
clockwise and push the ram to its lowest position
2. Remove the filler plug.
3. Fill with clean hydraulic jack oil. Do not use hydraulic brake
fluid.
4. Reinstall the filler plug.
Add lubrication to all moving parts as needed.
Every 6 months. Carry out a thorough inspection for service-
ability of component parts Visually inspect for oil leaks (only
a slight oil seepage is permissible). If a leak is found, take the
jack out of service and consult with SGS Engineering.
Annually. Check the ram oil level as follows:
1. Ensure the ram is fully retracted by turning the knob fully
anticlockwise.
2. Remove the cover plate, located at the base of the handle
housing, to gain access the ram, then remove the ram filler
plug.
3. Lift the jack so that it is vertical, resting on its front wheels
and check the oil level. It should be level with the bottom
of the oil filler hole. If necessary, top up with Hydraulic oil.
4. Replace filler plug and purge system of air (see page 5).

CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
1. Turn the handle counter clockwise to allow the ram to fully retract.
It may be necessary to apply force to the saddle to lower the ram.
2. With the jack in the level position remove the oil fill plug. Stand
the jack in the vertical position with the handle socket down. The
oil should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. If not, top up
but do not overfill. Always fill with new, clean hydraulic jack oil.
3. Replace fill plug and inspection plate.
4. Check jack operation.
5. Purge air from the system as required.
SYSTEM AIR PURGE
1. Turn the handle counter clockwise one full turn to open.
2. Pump the handle eight full strokes.
3. Turn handle clockwise to close the valve.
4. Pump the handle until the ram reaches maximum height and con-
tinue to pump several times to remove air trapped in the ram.
5. Turn the handle counter clockwise one full turn and lower the ram
to the lowest position. Use force on the saddle if necessary.
6. Turn the handle clockwise to the closed position and check for
proper pump action. It may be necessary to perform the above
more than once to ensure all the trapped air is evacuated.
