PURGING THE JACK

1. Purge the hydraulic system in order to eliminate any air that may have accumulated in transit or whilst stored:
2. Turn the release valve anticlockwise one full turn to open.
3. The pump handles eight full strokes.
4. Turn the release valve clockwise to close the valve.
5. Pump the handle until the ram reaches maximum height and continue to pump several times to remove trapped air in the ram. Carefully and slowly move the top of the oil filler plug aside to release the trapped air.
6. Turn release valve anticlockwise one full turn and lower ram to its lowest position. Use force if necessary.
7. Turn the release valve clockwise to the closed position and check for proper pump action. It may be necessary to perform the above more than once to ensure the air is totally evacuated.

LIFTING THE LOAD

1. Ensure the jack and vehicle are on a hard-level surface.
2. Apply the vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels.
3. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual to ascertain the location of jacking points and position the jack beneath the prescribed lifting point. Turn the release valve clockwise to the closed position. DO NOT overtighten.
4. To raise the vehicle to the desired height, place the handle into the socket and pump up and down.
5. Place axle stands beneath the vehicle at locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. DO NOT get under the vehicle without it being supported by axle stands. Jacks are NOT designed to maintain heavy loads for long periods of time. DO NOT attempt to put axle stands simultaneously under both ends of the vehicle or under one side of the vehicle.
6. Turn the release valve SLOWLY anticlockwise to lower the load onto jack stands.

LOWERING THE LOAD

1. Turn the release valve clockwise to the closed position.
2. Pump the handle to lift the vehicle off the axle stands.

4. The product shall be inspected immediately if the jack is believed to have been subject to abnormal load or shock.
5. It is recommended that inspection should carried out by properly qualified personnel.

MAINTENANCE

1. Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc. can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components. The following step are designed to keep the jack well lubricated.
2. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
3. Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose or missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
4. If jack is subjected to abnormal loads or shock, remove from service and have it examined by an authorised repair specialist. 6.2.1.4. Check all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
5. Check and maintain the ram oil level.
6. Check ram every 3 months for any sign of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth. When not in use always leave with the ram fully retracted. This will help protect critical areas from excessive corrosion.

CHECK OIL LEVEL

1. Turn release valve counterclockwise to allow ram to fully retract. It may be necessary to apply force to the saddle to lower it.
2. With the jack in a level position, remove the oil filler plug. Stand the jack in a vertical position with the handle socket down. The oil should be level with the bottom of the filler hole. If not top it up. DO NOT overfill. Always fill with new, clean hydraulic oil.
3. Replace the oil filler plug.
4. Check jack operation.
5. Purge air from the system as required, refer to section 4.3. N
