GETTING TO KNOW YOUR RACING JACK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Inspect before each use. Do not use if broken, bent, cracked or damaged parts are noted. If the racing jack appears damaged in any way, or operates abnormally it should be removed from service immediately. If the racing jack has been or suspected to have been subjected to a shock load (a load dropped suddenly, unexpectedly upon it), immediately discontinue use until the racing jack has been checked by an authorised service centre / agent (contact your distributor or manufacturer for list of authorised service centres). It is recommended that an annual inspection be done by a qualified person/s.
OPERATING THE RACING JACK
Note: Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for lifting. Engage the emergency brake and chock each un-lifted wheel in both directions to prevent inadvertent vehicle movement.
-
Push the top handle into the lower handle, making sure it clicks into place.
-
Insert the handle into the handle base and secure using the handle base screw.
-
Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise until firm resistance is felt.
-
Locate the lifting point, centre the jack saddle under the lifting point.
-
Pump the handle to contact the lifting point; continue to pump the handle until the load reaches the desired height.
Note: Refer to the vehicle manufacturer owner’s manual to locate approved lifting points on the vehicle. -
Transfer the load immediately to appropriately rated jack stands.
⚠ NEVER use the racing jack as a stand alone device! ALWAYS transfer the lifted load IMMEDIATELY to a pair of appropriately rated jack stands. Use one pair of jack stands per vehicle. Do not exceed the rated capacity.
LOWERING THE RACING JACK
- Raise the load high enough to allow it to clear the jack stands.
- Carefully remove the jack stands.
- Slowly turn the handle anti-clockwise to open the release valve – Never turn the handle more than 1/2 a turn at a time.
- Allow the load to slowly lower to its lowest position.
- Remove the racing jack from under the vehicle.
Caution: Take care when lowering the racing jack that nothing can get trapped in the moving parts of the racing jack, or under the load.
Note: After removing the racing jack from under the vehicle, fully lower the saddle to reduce ram exposure to contamination.
MAINTENANCE
ADDING OIL
- Lower the saddle to its lowest position (turn the handle anti-clockwise).
- With a cross headed screwdriver, unscrew the oil filler screw fully from the hydraulic unit.
- The oil level should be around the bottom of the oil filler hole; Top up the oil if required .
Note: Do not touch or use the handle when filling with oil.
OIL CHANGE
For the best performance and longest life, completely change the oil at least once per year. Always dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.
- Lower the saddle to its lowest position (turn the handle anti-clockwise).
- Remove the 4 bolts from the metal plate, and remove it from the jack.
- Pull back on the handle until the handle base is nearly horizontal (you should be able to see the hydraulic unit).
- With a cross headed screwdriver, unscrew the oil fill screw fully from the hydraulic unit.
- Turn the jack upside down and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
- Return the jack to an upright position.
- Fill with hydraulic oil until the oil reaches the bottom of the oil fill hole.
- Wipe away any excess oil.
- Refit the oil filler screw, and the metal plate.
Note: Contact your local authority on how / where to dispose of the waste oil.
BLEEDING
If air gets into the hydraulic system the jack will not operate correctly and will need to be bled. To bleed air from the hydraulic system, follow the instructions below.
- Loosen the oil filler screw.
- Insert the handle into the handle base.
- Turn the handle anti-clockwise to open the release valve.
- Pump the handle up and down quickly several times, this will purge the air out of the system.
- Refit the oil filler screw.
LUBRICATION
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and
hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that roller, castors and pump
assemblies move freely.
CLEANING
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion.
Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Please check the tightness of all the side bolts – twisted chassis are not
cover under warranty.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces.
