BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the jack, put the large hydraulic unit to eliminate any air in the system. Place the handle onto the release valve nut as shown in fig.1 and open the valve by turning the handle anti-clockwise, place the handle back into the jacking socket and pump for 20 repetitions. When complete, close the release valve by turning the valve nut clockwise. Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil onto the pump piston and pump the handle several times to distribute the oil. Thoroughly lubricate all moving parts.

GENERAL JACKING

WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions are read and understood.
Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in the safety instructions ensuring the ground on which the jack is to stand is level and solid (not tarmacadam).
Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point.

JACKING THE VEHICLE

Close the release valve using the handle, Place the handle into the handle socket and commence pumping the handle up and down using maximum strokes until the vehicle has been lifted to the required height.
Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open and stop the vehicle from lifting.
WARNING! The jack is a lifting device only and must not be used to support the load. Use correctly rated axle stands to support the load.

LOWERING THE VEHICLE

WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands to be easily removed. Then place the handle onto the release valve nut and turn anti-clockwise, very slowly, to open the valve.
The lowering speed is controlled by descent control so lowering is gradual rather than being dropped suddenly.

MAINTENANCE

Jacks shall be maintained and repaired according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Such maintenance and repair shall be carried out by qualified persons.
No modifications shall be carried out that adversely affect the compliance of the jack with the standard, see specification section.
Check the state of the markings and that the markings remain as the initial one.
When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to inactivate the jack.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts regularly.
Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to the ram, pump, saddle, lifting arm, frame and all parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other fasteners. If any suspect item is found remove the jack from service and take necessary action to remedy the problem.
DO NOT use the jack is believed to have been subjected to an abnormal load or shock load.
Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
After one year the oil should be replaced in ortond the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt hydraulic maintenance or repair.
To check the oil level, fully lower the jack. Remove the two bolts that hold the black cover in place and pour out the cover from between the side walls of the jack. Remove the oil filler plug (fig.2). The correct level is just below the bottom of the plug. If the oil level is low, fill as required. Replace cover. NOTE: Use a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.
WARNING! DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than hydraulic jack oil as this may cause serious damage to the jack and will invalidate the warranty.
When draining the oil make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF JACK WILL NOT LIFT LOAD

The oil level may be low. Check the oil level as described in section 5.6. and top up if necessary.
To ensure the complete distribution of the oil go through the following procedure:
Close the release valve and manually pull the lifting arm up to its full height.
Open the release valve and, by stepping on the saddle, force the arm to lower as rapidly as possible. Repeat this operation three or four times.
This procedure also thoroughly flushes the valves and in most cases will restore the jack to full working order. The jack may have air trapped in the system. To eliminate trapped air open the release valve and pump the handle through its full stroke six times. Close release valve.
After several months of service, the pump ‘O’ ring seal may become worn. If this is suspected take the jack to an approved agent for servicing.
The release valve may be held open by dirt on the valve seat. Flush by pulling the lifting arm up and down several times manually while the release valve is open.
The load is heavier than 2 tonnes and the overload valve has operated. Remove the load and obtain a higher-capacity jack. The overload factor set is factory set and should not be altered.

IF JACK WILL NOT HOLD THE LOAD

The discharge valve may be held open by dirt on the seat. Perform the procedure described. If this does solve the problem take the jack to an approved agent for servicing.
Where a jack has received heavy service the ram cup seal may become worn. If this is suspected take the jack to an approved agent for servicing.
Release valve partially open. Fully close the release valve.

IF JACK WILL NOT LOWER COMPLETELY

The lifting arm return spring may be broken or unhooked. Replace the return spring.
Jack requires lubrication. Clean and oil all moving parts in the lifting arm mechanism.
The hydraulic unit is overfilled with oil. Drain off excess oil.

JACK WILL NOT LIFT FULL 2 TONNE LOAD

The Piston ‘O’ ring seal may have become worn. If this is suspected take the jack to an approved agent for servicing.
The jack may have air trapped in the system. See section 6.1.2.
Jack frame/link system distorted due to overloading or poor positioning. Return to an approved service agent for replacement of damaged parts.
