4.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove
the handle to inactivate jack.
4.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil on a regular basis.
4.3. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to ram,
pump, saddle, lifting arm, frame and all parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other fasteners. If any
suspect item is found remove 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.
4.4. Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of corrosion. clean exposed areas with a clean
oiled cloth.
4.5. After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.

4.6. To check the oil level, fully lower the jack. Remove front cover plate (fig.1.c) and filler plug (fig.2.o). The correct level is the bottom of
the screw hole. If oil level is low, fill as required. Pump jack 5 or 6 times to expel air. Pump jack up to full height and pour off excess oil
before refitting plug. DO NOT touch the safety overload valve (fig.2.V),
NOTe: Use a good quality jack oil, such as sEALEY HYDRAULIc JAcK oIL.
