Troubleshooting Guide

1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the jack. Check for broken, cracked or bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the proper
operation of the product. If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
DO NOT USE DAMAGED EQUIPMENT
2. Before each use, thoroughly test the jack for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the jack appears not to be working properly, follow bleeding instructions on page 5.
3. Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three years.
A. With the jack fully lowered, remove the Oil Filler Plug on the side of the housing.
B. Tip the jack to allow the old hydraulic oil to drain out of the housing completely, and dispose of the old hydraulic uid in accordance with local regulations.
C. With the jack upright, completely ll the housing with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until the oil is 1/4” below the ll hole.
D. Open the valve by turning the handle counterclockwise and pump the handle to bleed air from the system.
E. Recheck oil level and re-ll as needed.
F. Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug.
4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the jack in a safe, dry location out of reach of children and other non-authorized people.
CAUTION: To prevent serious injury from tool failure: Do
not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
IMPORTANT: Procedures not specically explained in
this manual must be performed by a qualied technician.
RUST PREVENTION
Check the ram and pump piston every two months (or sooner, based on usage) for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and
wipe down with an oil cloth.
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Rapidly pump the jack handle 6 to 8 strokes
to release any pressurized air.

5
Using a good grade of SAE 5W hydraulic jack oil, ll the reservoir to
the bottom of the threads in the oil ll hole. Replace and tighten the
oil ll plug. Do not allow dirt and debris to enter the system.
Filling with new oil
6
Use a good grade of lubricating oil on all moving parts
when needed (arm linkages, front wheels and rear casters).
Lubricating the jack
When the jack is not in use, or when storing the jack,
ALWAYS have the saddle in its lowest (down) position.
Storing the jack
Store the jack in a dry location with all wheels touching
the ground on a relatively level position.
