MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
If you use and maintain your equipment properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the
maintenance instructions carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never perform any
maintenance on the equipment while it is under a load.
Inspection
You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all components
function before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product performance.
Binding
If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to lower the load
safely to the ground. After un-binding; clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working properly. Rusty
components, dirt, or worn parts can be causes of binding. Clean and lubricate the equipment as indicated in
the lubrication section. Test the equipment by lifting without a load. If the binding continues contact Customer
Service.
Cleaning
If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to clean
the equipment. Remove any existing rust with a penetrating lubricant.
Lubrication
This equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the equipment without proper
lubrication will result in poor performance and damage to the equipment. Some parts in this equipment are not
self-lubricating inspect the equipment before use and lubricate when necessary. After cleaning, lubricate the
equipment using a high grade light penetrating oil or lubricating spray.
• Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
• For light duty applications, use lubrication once a month.
• For heavy and constant use, lubrication is recommended every week.
• NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!
Rust Prevention:
Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load on the equipment extended hydraulic rams to check if signs of rust are visible; clean as
needed.
Grease Fittings
Some models contain grease ttings that will regularly need to be greased and lubricated.
How the Ram Operates
With release valve closed, an upward stroke of the jack handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into the
plunger cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the plunger cavity. A
downward stroke of the jack handle releases oil into the cylinder, which forces the ram out. This extends the
ram. When the ram reaches maximum extension, oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to prevent an over
extended ram stroke and possible damage to the ram. Opening the release valve allows oil to ow back into
reservoir. This releases hydraulic pressure on the ram, which results in lowering the ram.
Storing the Ram
1. Fully Retract Ram after use.
2. Place the handle in the upright position.
3. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.
Note: If the press is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to ensure the press
stays in good working condition.

15
TO ADD JACK OIL:
The hydraulic cylinder assembly contains hydraulic uid that must be kept at approximately 80% full at all
times for proper operation. To check the level and to ll remove oil ller plug.
1. Fully retract the hydraulic ram.
2. Remove the oil plug.
3. Fill the oil case until oil level is just beneath the
lower rim of the oil ll hole.
KEEP DIRT AND OTHER MATERIAL CLEARWHEN
POURING.
4. Replace oil plug.
5. Perform the Air Purge Procedure.
TO REPLACE JACK OIL
1. Fully retract the hydraulic ram and remove pump
from hose and frame.
2. Position the pump in the vertical position on a at
level surface.
3. Open release valve by turning handle counter-
clockwise (4 full turns).

4. Remove the oil plug.
6. Fill the oil case until oil level is just beneath the
lower rim of the oil ll hole.
KEEP DIRT AND OTHER MATERIAL CLEAR
WHEN POURING.
7. Replace oil plug.
8. Perform the Air Purge Procedure.
• DO NOT USE MOTOR OIL IN THE JACK.
• ONLY USE ANTI-FOAMING JACK OIL.
• ALWAYS USE A GOOD GRADE HYDRAULIC
JACK OIL.
• DO NOT USE HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID,
ALCOHOL, GLYCERINE, DETERGENT, MOTOR
OIL OR DIRTY OIL.
• USE OF A NON-RECOMMENDED FLUID CAN
CAUSE DAMAGE TO A JACK.
• AVOID MIXING DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLUID
AND NEVER USE BRAKE FLUID, TURBINE
OIL, TRANSMISSION FLUID, MOTOR OIL OR
GLYCERIN. IMPROPER FLUID CAN CAUSE
PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE JACK AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR SUDDEN AND IMMEDIATE
LOSS OF LOAD.
• DISPOSE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID IN
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS.
5. Turn the jack on its side so that old oil will drain
from the oil ll hole.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance
with local regulations.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS:

17
LUBRICATION
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points will help to ensure that pump pistons move freely.
Note: Never apply oil to the saddle. If saddle extension threads require lubrication; clean thread surfaces with
a clean, dry cloth, then apply a drop of bearing grease to the threads. Distribute as evenly as possible along
the threaded post.
1. Clean the outside of the press with a dry, clean, and soft cloth. Periodically lubricate all joints and moving
parts with a long lasting lubrication oil. Apply as needed.
2. When not in use, store the press in a dry location with ram and pump piston fully retracted. Periodically
check the rams for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with a soft non-abrasive clean
cloth.
