Maintenance Instructions

If you use and maintain your equipment properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the maintenance instructions carefully to keep your equipment in good working condition. Never perform any maintenance on the equipment while it is under a load.

Inspection

You should inspect the product for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: pins) and that all components function before each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum product performance.

Binding

If the product binds while under a load, use equipment with equal or a larger load capacity to lower the load safely to the ground. After un-binding; clean, lubricate and test that equipment is working properly. Rusty components, dirt, or worn parts can be causes of binding. Clean and lubricate the equipment as indicated in the lubrication section. Test the equipment by lifting without a load. If the binding continues contact Customer Service.

Cleaning

If the moving parts of the equipment are obstructed, use cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to clean the equipment. Remove any existing rust, with a penetrating lubricant.

Lubrication

This equipment will not operate safely without proper lubrication. Using the equipment without proper lubrication will result in poor performance and damage to the equipment. Some parts in this equipment are not self-lubricating; inspect the equipment before use and lubricate when necessary. After cleaning, lubricate the equipment using light penetrating oil, lubricating spray.

• Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
• For light duty use lubrication once a month.
• For heavy and constant use lubrication recommended every week.
• NEVER USE SANDPAPER OR ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THESE SURFACES!

Rust Prevention:

Check rams and pump plungers on the power unit assemblies daily for any signs of rust or corrosion. Without a load lift the equipment as high as it goes and look under and behind the lifting points. If signs of rust are visible clean as needed.

Grease Fittings

Some models contain grease fittings that will regularly need to be greased and lubricated.

How the Jack Operates

With release valve closed, an upward stroke of the jack handle draws oil from the reservoir tank into the plunger cavity. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the plunger cavity. A downward stroke of the jack handle releases oil into the cylinder, which forces the ram out. This raises the saddle. When the ram reaches maximum extension, oil is bypassed back into the reservoir to prevent an over extended ram stroke and possible damage to the jack. Opening the release valve allows oil to flow back into reservoir. This releases hydraulic pressure on the ram, which results in lowering the saddle.

Storing the Jack

1. Lower the Lifting Arm.
2. Place the handle in the upright position.
3. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.

Note: If the jack is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to ensure the jack stays in good working condition. Always store jack in the fully retracted position when stored in outdoor or caustic environments that can cause corrosion and/or rust.

To Add Jack Oil

1. Position the jack on level ground and lower the saddle.
2. Remove cover plate.
3. Remove the oil plug.
4. Fill the oil case until oil level is just beneath the lower rim of the oil fill hole.
5. Replace oil plug.
6. Replace coverplate and perform the Air Purge Procedure.

To Replace Jack Oil

1. Position the jack on level ground and lower the saddle.
2. Remove cover plate.
3. Remove the oil plug.
4. Turn the jack upside down to drain old oil from the oil fill hole.
5. Position the jack on level ground and keep saddle in the lowered position. Fill the oil case until oil level is just beneath the lower rim. Keep dirt and other foreign materials clear when pouring.
6. Replace oil plug.
7. Replace the cover plate and perform the Air Purge Procedure.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS:

• DO NOT USE MOTOR OIL IN THE JACK.
• ONLY USE ANTI-FOAMING JACK OIL.
• ALWAYS USE A GOOD GRADE HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.
• DO NOT USE HYDRAULIC BRAKE FLUID, ALCOHOL, GLYCERINE, DETERGENT, MOTOR OIL OR DIRTY OIL.
• USE OF A NON-RECOMMENDED FLUID CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO A JACK.
