6. OPERATION

WARNING! Before use, ensure you have read, understood, and applied Section 1 safety precautions.

IMPORTANT: Before use, the operator must visually inspect the jack for cracked welds, damaged or missing parts, or hydraulic leaks.

6.1. RAISING A VEHICLE

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

• Ensure that the jack and the vehicle are on a hard, level surface.
• Always ensure that the vehicle handbrake is engaged and that the vehicle wheels are chocked.
• Consult the vehicle manual to determine the location of jacking points.
• Position the jack under a suitable lifting point.
• Turn the release valve clockwise, to the closed position (Fig.2). DO NOT over-tighten.
• Raise the vehicle to the desired height by pumping the handle up and down.
• Place axle stands beneath the locations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Turn the release valve slowly counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle onto the axle stands.

6.2. LOWERING A VEHICLE

• Turn the release valve clockwise to the closed position.
• Pump the handle to raise the vehicle off the axle stands.
• Remove the axle stands from beneath the vehicle.
• Turn the release valve slowly counter-clockwise to lower the vehicle to the ground.

NOTE: When not in use, ALWAYS leave the saddle and ram fully retracted.

7. MAINTENANCE

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

7.1. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

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. To keep the jack well lubricated, carry out the following steps:

• Lubricate the ram, the linkages, and the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
• Grease the wheel bearings and axles.
• Keep all jack surfaces and warning labels clean.
• Check and maintain the ram oil level (Section 7.3).

7.2. THREE MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

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

7.3. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

• Fully retract the ram by turning the release valve counter-clockwise.
• With the jack in the level position, remove the oil filler plug (Fig.3). [oil filler plug]
• The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole. If it is not, top up with clean hydraulic jack oil.
• Replace the oil filler plug and check the jack operation.
• Purge air from the hydraulic unit as required. Refer to Section 5.

Diagram Description (Fig.3): Shows the location of the oil filler plug for checking the hydraulic oil level.

NOTE: Always store the jack in the fully lowered position. This will protect critical areas from excessive corrosion.
