Zinko ZABJ-12MB User manual

Inspection
1. Visual inspection shall be made before each use of the jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid, and damaged, loose
or missing parts.
2. Each jack shall be inspected by an authorized ZINKO service facility immediately, if subjected to an abnormal load or
shock.
3. Owners and/or users should be aware that repair of this equipment may require specialized knowledge and facilities.
It is recommended that an annual inspection of the jack be made by an authorized ZINKO service facility and that any
defective parts, decals or warning labels be replaced with genuine ZINKO parts. A list of authorized service facilities is
available from ZINKO.
Damaged Jacks
Any jack which appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally
SHALL BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs are made by an authorized ZINKO service facility.
Operating Instructions (Before Use)
1. Check oil level. With the jack in an upright position and the ram completely retracted, open release valve by turning
release assembly counterclockwise. Remove filler plug; the oil level should be just up to the hole. Fill if necessary
with clean hydraulic jack oil. NEVER USE BRAKE OR SHOCK ABSORBER FLUID.
2. Lubricate internal components. With release valve open, pump handle six full strokes to assure proper internal
lubrication.
3. Bleed the hydraulic system. During transit hydraulic jacks may become "air-bound", causing spongy ram action. To
bleed the hydraulic system: a) Close the release valve by turning clockwise. b) Insert handle in socket and pump jack
up to full height. c) Open the release valve, invert the jack and force the ram to retract.
Using the Jack
1. Use the shortest possible air hose from compressor to the jack. Clean dirt from air hose and connect together.
BE SURE to attach air filter and oiler to the outlet of compressor.
2. Close release valve, depress air valve and check lifting ram. Open release valve and check lowering of the ram.
3. Once the saddle contacts the load, STOP and re-check the point of contact to ensure load is centered. Raise the load
carefully to desired height and never raise further.
4. After jacking, BE SURE TO TRANSFER LOAD TO JACK STAND.
5. Lower load by turning release valve counterclockwise slightly and very slowly. DO NOT TURN RELEASE VALVE MORE
THAN TWICE, which can cause dangerous sudden lowering.
NOTE: Take care not to contaminate coupler with dirt or sand which may cause malfunction of jack and air
pump. BE SURE air hose is kept connected while centering jack under point of contact.
READ THIS OPERATION MANUAL THOROUGHLY and fully understand its contents before using the jack.
The manual explains important warning information.
This jack is designed for lifting purposes only, not for supporting loads.
Immediately after jacking, support vehicle (load) with appropriately rated stands or equivalent blocking.
DO NOT ALLOW JACK ALONE, TO SUPPORT VEHICLE (LOAD).
DO NOT OVERLOAD THIS JACK BEYOND ITS RATED CAPACITY.
This jack is designed for use only on hard level surfaces capable of sustaining the load. Use on other than hard
level surfaces may result in jack instability and possible loss of load.
Failure to read these warnings may result in loss of load, damage to jack and/or failure resulting in personal
injury or property damage.
NEVER get your arm, leg, and/or body under a heavy load supported only by a jack.
When the handle is not in use, remove it from the body of the jack. Never use a handle other than the one
designated by the specifications.
Operating air pressure MUST be within the range of 100 to 200 psi.
Be sure to USE CLEAN, DRY AIR. Dirty or humid air may cause malfunction of air pump. Clean dirt from air
hoses and connect together.
Failure to read this caution may result in loss of load, damage to jack, and/or failure resulting in personal injury
or property damage.

Maintenance
1. Lubrication. LACK OF OIL CAN CAUSE MALFUNCTION. Occasionally lubricate the handle socket pivot point,
extension screw, and release screw thread to prevent corrosion.
2. To Add or Replace Hydraulic Jack Oil.
a) Retract ram completely.
b) Remove filler plug with your fingers and fill reservoir with designated jack oil or general hydraulic fluid to the
bottom edge of fill hole with jack upright.
c) Replace filler plug, operate pump to the ram's full height, and continue pumping for five or six times at the position.
Push down ram completely and push open filler plug sideways to let out air.
Proper Oil: ISO VG 10. Never use high viscosity oil or volatile oil such as brake oil or vegetable oil which may cause
malfunction. We recommend annual oil replacement and inspection. Please contact a ZINKO service center for service
inspection.
3. Storing Jack. After using, clean jack, check sliding and rotating parts and oil as needed. When storing, keep ram and
extension screw at lowest position and store the unit(s) indoors.
1. DO NOT OVERFILL OIL BEYOND THE OIL FILL LEVEL, AS THE JACK'S OIL AMOUNT LIMITS THE MAXIMUM
EXTENSION OF THE RAM. Too much oil may make the ram fall off, which may result in a serious accident.
2. SLOWLY TURN RELEASE STEM. Turning it quickly makes a heavy load fall rapidly, which may result in jack's
losing engagement at jacking point, and/or damage to jack leading to a serious accident.
3. If stains on labels make it difficult to make out the instructions on them, or jack appears to be in an abnormal
condition, consult your dealer immediately.
4. Ensure no foreign matter such as dirt enters the system while filling oil. NEVER USE BRAKE OIL OR VEGETABLE
OIL, AS SUCH OIL CAUSES JACK TO MALFUNCTION.
