7. MAINTENANCE
7.1.
Before each use, check the vehicle lift to ensure it is not damaged or worn. If in any doubt
DO NOT use the unit. Remove it from
service immediately and contact your local Sealey dealer for advice/repairs.
7.2.
Refilling the hydraulic system with oil is rarely necessary but the level should be checked in the event of a loss of performance. To
check oil level, ensure the ram is fully lowered, remove filler plug and check that level is within10mm of filler hole. Add a good quality
jack oil, such as SEALEY HYdRAuLIc JAcK OIL.
7.3. change the oil every 100 working hours.
WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than hydraulic jack oil as this will cause serious damage to the jack
and will invalidate the warranty!
