OPERATION

WARNING! Before use ensure you have read, understood and applied Section 1 safety precautions.
IMPORTANT: Before use, the operator is to visually inspect the jack for cracked welds, damaged or missing parts or hydraulic leaks.

1. RAISING A VEHICLE
   The effort of raising the rated load shall be reduced by the use of additional persons.

2. Ensure that the jack and the vehicle are on a hard, level surface.

3. Always ensure that the vehicle handbrake is engaged and that the vehicle wheels are chocked.

4. Consult the vehicle manual to determine the location of jacking points. Position the jack under a suitable lifting point. Turn the release valve clockwise, to the closed position (Fig.2).

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.

1. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
   
   Lubrication is critical to jacks. Any restriction due to dirt or rust can cause either slow or extremely rapid jack movement, causing damage to the internal components. To keep the jack well lubricated, carry out the following steps:

2. Lubricate the ram, all of the pivot points, the linkages and the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.

3. Grease the wheel bearings and axles.

4. Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.

5. Check and maintain the ram oil level (Section 7.3).

6. THREE MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
   At three monthly intervals, check the ram for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean the ram as required and wipe with an oiled cloth.

7. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

8. Fully retract the ram by turning the release valve counter-clockwise.

9. With the jack in the level position, remove the oil filler plug (Fig.4).

10. The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole. If it is not, top up with clean hydraulic jack oil. Replace the oil filler plug and check the jack operation.

11. Purge air from the hydraulic unit as required. Refer to Section 5.
    NOTE: Always store the jack in the fully lowered position. This will protect critical areas from excessive corrosion. Owing to their size and weight, hydraulic products should ideally be repaired by local service agents. We have service / repair agents in most parts of the UK. Before returning your product please call our technical helpline on 01284 757505 for advice and troubleshooting guidance. If the jack is under guarantee please contact your stockist.
