Product Manual A

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 ttings the will regularly need to be greased and lubricated.

This jack includes (5) Zerk ttings in total. (1) Each front wheel; (1) On the lift arm; (2) On the rear handle

socket.

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 ow 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 postion when stored in outdoor or caustic

enviroments that can cause corrosion and/or rust.
