2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when working with vehicles and lifting equipment. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in personal injury or damage to property.

• Vehicle Stability: Ensure the vehicle is on a firm, level surface and the parking brake is engaged before attempting to lift.

4. Setup

The Sealey JP09 Safety Rubber Jack Pad requires minimal setup. Ensure your trolley jack's saddle is clean and free of debris before placing the jack pad on it.

1. Inspect the Jack Pad: Before first use, and prior to every subsequent use, thoroughly inspect the jack pad for any manufacturing defects or signs of damage from previous use.
2. Verify Compatibility: Confirm that the diameter of your trolley jack's saddle is between 93mm and 95mm to ensure a secure fit for the JP09 pad.
3. Position on Jack: Place the Sealey JP09 jack pad centrally and securely onto the metal saddle of your trolley jack. The pad should sit flat and stable on the saddle.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe operation of the Sealey JP09 Safety Rubber Jack Pad in conjunction with your vehicle jack:

1. Prepare Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a hard, level surface. Engage the parking brake and, if applicable, place the transmission in 'Park' (automatic) or a low gear (manual). Consider chocking wheels that will remain on the ground.
2. Position Jack Pad: With the jack pad securely placed on your trolley jack's saddle, carefully maneuver the jack so that the jack pad is directly underneath the vehicle's designated jacking point. These points are typically reinforced areas on the vehicle's chassis or pinch welds. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for precise locations.
3. Lift Vehicle: Slowly and steadily raise the jack, ensuring the jack pad makes full and even contact with the vehicle's jacking point. Observe carefully to ensure the pad remains stable and does not slip. The rubber material of the pad is designed to grip and protect the vehicle's surface.
4. Secure Vehicle: Once the vehicle is lifted to the desired height, immediately place appropriate axle stands under the vehicle's designated support points. Lower the jack until the vehicle rests securely on the axle stands. The jack pad can then be removed, or left in place if it does not interfere with your work.
5. Lower Vehicle: When ready to lower the vehicle, ensure all tools and personnel are clear. Slowly release the jack, allowing the vehicle to descend gently onto the ground. Remove the jack and jack pad once the vehicle is fully lowered.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Sealey JP09 Safety Rubber Jack Pad.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe the jack pad clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may degrade the rubber material.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the jack pad for signs of wear, cuts, tears, cracks, or deformation. Pay close attention to the contact surfaces.
• Storage: Store the jack pad in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive substances.
• Replacement: If the jack pad shows any significant signs of wear or damage, it must be replaced immediately to ensure continued safety and protection for your vehicle.

7. Troubleshooting

While the Sealey JP09 is a simple and robust product, here are some common issues and their solutions:

• Pad Does Not Fit Jack Saddle:
  Issue: The jack pad does not sit securely or is too loose/tight on your trolley jack's saddle.
  Solution: Verify your jack's saddle diameter. The JP09 is designed for saddles Ø93-95mm. If your jack's saddle is outside this range, this jack pad is not compatible, and you should seek a different type.
• Pad Slips During Use:
  Issue: The jack pad moves or slips when lifting the vehicle.
  Solution: Ensure the jack pad is clean and dry. Verify it is placed centrally and securely on the jack saddle and directly on the vehicle's jacking point. Ensure the vehicle is on a level, stable surface. If slipping persists, inspect the pad for wear or damage; replace if necessary.
• Pad Shows Signs of Damage:
  Issue: Cracks, tears, or significant compression marks appear on the pad.
  Solution: This indicates the pad's integrity may be compromised. Discontinue use immediately and replace the jack pad with a new one. Continued use of a damaged pad can lead to vehicle damage or injury.
