2 TONNE SHORT CHASSIS TROLLEY JACK - HI-VIS

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions, and properly maintained, give you years of trouble-free performance.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

This trolley jack features a steel chassis with welded castor supports and a one-piece hydraulic unit. It is fitted with an overload valve, carry handle, and finger cover for extra safety. It is suitable for the hobby user or as an emergency mobile jack and includes a one-piece pumping handle.

1. Safety

• ✔️ 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. The use of unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• ✔️ Locate the jack in a suitable, well-lit working area.
• ✔️ Keep the working area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
• ✔️ Use the jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as the jack may sink in.
• ✔️ Place wedges under the wheels of the vehicle (but ensure the wheels of the jack can freely move).
• ✔️ Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, the engine is switched off, and the transmission is in gear (or "PARK" if automatic).
• ✔️ Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
• ✔️ Ensure a minimum distance of 0.5m between the 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.
• ✔️ Only place the jack under those lifting points recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle handbook).
• ✔️ Check 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.

• ✔️ Use suitable capacity axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.
• ✔️ Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.
• ✔️ Use a qualified person to maintain or repair the jack hydraulic system.
• ❌ DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
• ❌ DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
• ❌ DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack (2tonne/2000kg). When lifting a load of maximum capacity or close to it, it is recommended that the effort be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.
• ❌ DO NOT allow the vehicle to move while supported by the jack, or use the jack to move the vehicle.
• ❌ DO NOT jack a vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.
• ❌ DO NOT work under the vehicle until axle stands have been correctly positioned.
• ❌ DO NOT use the jack for purposes other than which it is intended.
• ❌ DO NOT top up the hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
• ❌ DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.
• ✔️ When not in use, store the jack fully lowered in a safe, dry, childproof area.

3. Specification

4. Assembly

1. To pump, place the handle into the jacking socket and turn it to engage the external pin as shown in Fig. 1.
2. To operate the release valve, engage the cross pin in the open end of the handle with the slot in the end of the release valve as shown in Fig. 2.

Figure Descriptions:

• Fig. 1 shows the handle being inserted and turned into the jacking socket.
• Fig. 2 shows the handle's cross pin engaging with the slot on the release valve.

5. Operation

5.1. Before First Use

1. Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic unit to eliminate any air in the system. Place the handle onto the release valve nut (as shown in Fig. 2) and open the valve by turning the handle anti-clockwise. Place the handle back into the jacking socket and pump for 30 to 40 seconds. When complete, close the release valve by turning the valve nut clockwise.
2. Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil onto the pump piston. Pump the handle several times to distribute the oil.
3. Thoroughly lubricate all moving parts.

5.2. General Jacking

WARNING! Before lifting, ensure Section 1 safety instructions are read and understood.

1. 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).
2. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting point.

5.3. Jacking the Vehicle

1. Close the release valve using the handle (as shown in Fig. 2). Place the handle into the handle socket and commence pumping the handle up and down using maximum strokes until the jack saddle reaches the vehicle jacking point. Check the jacking point is centrally located on the saddle and raise the vehicle.
2. 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 (2tonne/2000kg). When lifting a load of maximum capacity or close to it, it is recommended that the effort be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.

5.4. Lowering the Vehicle

WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.

1. 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.
2. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle. Lower carefully, avoid any sudden changes in descent rate which would shock load the hydraulic system.

6. Maintenance

• 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 on a regular basis.
• 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 if believed to have been subjected to 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 order to extend 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 oil filler plug (Fig. 3). The correct level is just below the bottom of the plug. If the oil level is low, fill as required.
• 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.

De-commissioning the Jack:

Should the jack become completely unserviceable and require disposal, drain off the oil into an approved container and dispose of the jack and the oil according to local regulations.

7. Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT: MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MUST ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON.
