- The product shall be inspected immediately if the jack is believed to have been subject to an abnormal load or shock.

MAINTENANCE
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc., can cause either slow movement or extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed to keep the jack well-lubricated:
- Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil. Grease wheel bearings and axles.
- Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
- If a jack is subjected to abnormal load or shock, remove it from service and have it examined by a customer service representative before use.
- Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
- Check and maintain the ram oil level.
- Check the ram every 3 months for any sign of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oilcloth. When not in use, always leave the saddle and ram down.
Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will help protect
critical areas from excessive corrosion.
Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can
damage the seals. Always purchase and use products labelled Hydraulic Jack
Oil.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
- Turn the release valve counterclockwise to allow the ram to fully retract. It may be necessary to apply force to the saddle for lowering.
- With the jack in the level position, remove the oil fill plug. Stand the jack in the vertical position with the handle socket down. The oil should be level with the bottom of the fill hole. If not, top off. Do not overfill. Always fill with new, clean hydraulic jack oil.
- Replace the fill plug.
- Check jack operation.
- Purge air from the system as required.
