1. SAFETY

WARNING! Please note that the handle socket of this jack is retained under tension and must be released before use. Caution should be taken when releasing, as the handle socket will suddenly raise to its upright position if not controlled.
The user shall work only in accordance with this instruction manual.
The operator shall be provided with all necessary information about training and about pumping and translating forces.
** Ensure the jack is in sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. DO NOT modify the jack. The use of non-genuine parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
** Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit working area.
Keep working area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as jack may sink in.
Chock wheels of vehicle.
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or “PARK” if automatic).
Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc. to allow for vehicle tilting.
Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack is in use.
Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
It is necessary that the operator can watch the lifting device and the load during all movements.
Place jack under only those lifting points recommended by vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle handbook).
Check that the lifting point is stable and centred on the jack saddle.
Ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
It is not allowed to work under the raised load until it is secured by suitable means. Use suitable axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the jack.
Ensure that only hydraulic jack oil is used in the jack.
DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
DO NOT operate the jack when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication.

DO NOT jack vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.
DO NOT work under the vehicle until appropriately rated axle stands have been correctly positioned.
DO NOT use the jack for purposes other than that for which it is intended.
DO NOT top up hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic jack oil only. (Sealey Part No: HJO500MLS or HJO5LS)
DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
When not in use store jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof area.
If more than 400N of effort is generated in lifting, the efforts shall be lowered by an additional person.
Jacks shall be maintained and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Such maintenance and repair shall be carried out by qualified persons.
No modifications shall be carried out which adversely affect the compliance of the jack with the standard.

Jacks shall be maintained and repaired in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Such maintenance and repair shall be carried out by qualified persons.
No modifications shall be carried out which adversely affect the compliance of the jack with the standard.
**** Check the state of the markings and that the markings remain as the initial one.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1. JACK WON’T LIFT

This is a common issue that can be caused by several factors such as low hydraulic fluid levels, air trapped in the hydraulic system, or a damaged O-ring seal. To fix this, you can try bleeding the jack and refilling it with the appropriate hydraulic fluid. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the O-ring seal.

6.2. JACK DROPS SLOWLY

If your jack drops slowly, it could be due to a damaged handle or a worn-out release valve. You can check if the handle is correctly located into the jack socket and replace it if it’s damaged. If the release valve is worn out, you may need to replace it as well.

6.3. JACK WON’T PUMP UP

If your jack won’t pump up, it could be due to low hydraulic fluid levels or a damaged hydraulic system. You can try refilling the hydraulic fluid or replacing the hydraulic system.

6.4. JACK IS LEAKING OIL

If your jack is leaking oil, it could be due to a damaged O-ring seal or a loose bolt. You can try replacing the O-ring seal or tightening the bolts.

6.5. JACK IS MAKING STRANGE NOISES

If your jack is making strange noises, it could be due to air trapped in the hydraulic system or a damaged piston. You can try bleeding the jack and refilling it with the appropriate hydraulic fluid or replacing the piston.
