OPERATION

Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic circuit, in order to eliminate any air from the system that may have accumulated during
transit, as follows

• Insert jack handle over release valve (fig.1) and turn anti-clockwise to open valve.
• Insert jack handle into the handle socket (fig.1) and pump several times to ensure full internal lubrication and to bleed air from the system.
• When complete place the handle back over the release valve and turn clockwise to close.

WARNING
Ensure you prepare vehicle and use jack according to chapter 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

• Check that the supporting ground upon which the jack will stand is level and solid and not tarmacadam.
• Position the jack saddleunder the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point ensuring the saddle is correctly centred beneath the load.
• Ensure jack is positioned to avoid having to operate it from under the vehicle, and that the handle is free to move up and down.
• Pump the handle up and down using full stroke range so that the saddle reaches the working height quickly.
• Should the jack become overloaded, a safety overload valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
• Position axle stands under the vehicle before attempting any work.

LOWERING THE LOAD

• Ensure the axle stands are removed and that there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
• The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn release valve. Turn anti-clockwise and lower carefully, avoiding sudden release.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT
Only fully competent personnel should attempt maintenance or repair. Ensure waste oil is disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.

NOTE
Use Sealey quality hydraulic jack oil, Model No.s HJO500MLS / HJO5LS to top up or replace the hydraulic fluid. When the jack is not in use, the ram must be in the lowest position to minimise ram and piston corrosion.

• Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil on a regular basis.
• To check oil level, lower the jack fully. Remove the filler plug.
• The correct oil level should be to the same level as the filler opening.
• After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of your jack.
• To drain the oil, remove the filler plug and release valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the oil reservoir.
• Replace release valve and refill with fresh oil. Pump the unloaded jack 5 or 6 times to expel air.
• Check level as in 5.3. Refit filler plug.
• Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts. Also check for any visible damage to welds, ram, pump, body, stand, and all parts.
