  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 centered 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.

• Check the state of the markings and that the markings remain as the initial one.

RELEASING THE RETAINING CLIP (FIG.1)

1. Seek assistance from a second person if required.
2. Insert the lower handle section into the handle socket to aid in releasing pressure in the handle socket.
3. Push down on the handle and hold down while unscrewing the handle retaining bolt that is securing the handle socket in the down position.
4. Remove the clip from the bolt and the lower chassis bar.
5. Gently and in a controlled manner slowly allow the lower handle section and handle socket to raise to their upright position.
6. Replace the handle retaining bolt to secure the handle in the socket.

BEFORE USE

1. Insert the upper handle into the lower handle.
2. Insert the handle into the handle socket.
3. Tighten the handle retaining bolt.
4. Ensure the handle is secure and fully engaged with the release valve.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PURGING

1. Open the release valve by turning it one full turn counter-clockwise.
2. Pump the handle 20 times.
3. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise.

RAISING A VEHICLE
We recommend that efforts of raising the load shall be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.

1. Ensure that the jack and the vehicle are on a hard, level surface.
2. Ensure that the vehicle handbrake is engaged and that the vehicle wheels are chocked.
3. Consult the vehicle manual to determine the location of jacking points.
4. Position the jack under a suitable lifting point.
5. Turn the slow release valve clockwise, to the closed position. DO NOT over-tighten.
6. Raise the vehicle to the desired height by pumping the handle up and down.
7. Place axle stands beneath the locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

MAINTENANCE

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

• 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.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

1. Lubricate the ram, all of the pivot points, the linkages and the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
2. Grease the wheel bearings and axles.
3. Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.
4. Check and maintain the ram oil level (see 5.3).

THREE MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

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

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL (FIG 3).

1. Fully retract the ram by turning the release valve counter-clockwise.
2. With the jack in the level position, remove the oil filler plug.
3. The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole. If it is not, top up with clean hydraulic jack oil.
4. Replace the oil filler plug and check the jack operation.
5. Purge air from the hydraulic unit as required. Refer to Section 4.
   NOTE: Store the jack in the fully lowered position to protect critical areas from excessive corrosion

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
