5.3. To check the oil level, fully lower the jack. Remove filler plug (fig.3). The correct oil level
should be approximately 5mm below the filler opening. If oil level is low, fill as required.
Pump unloaded jack 15 to 20 times to expel air and then refit plug.
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 fluid as this
may cause serious damage to the jack and will invalidate the warranty!
5.4. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage
to welds, 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. Inspect and take appropriate action.
5.5. Every three months remove the locking rings on the caster wheels and lubricate the ball
bearings with acid free grease.
5.6. After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of your jack. To drain the oil, remove the filler cap and
valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system’s oil. Dispose of oil according to local authority regulations.
5.7. Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
