This equipment has been designed to provide a long and useful life providing certain precautionary meas-
ures are taken.
Before putting into service the first time, check that all parts are present and assembled correctly.
Before using, check that the brake drum and brake band is clean and free from oil, dirt or other contami-
nants. Check that the hydraulic jacks operate smoothly. Check the condition of all retaining pins and ‘R’
clips, replace if damaged.
When finished using, wipe the paint-work down with an oiled cloth. Lightly grease the pivot points with
general-purpose medium grease. Ensure that the hydraulic jacks are lowered as far as possible and apply
a thin layer of grease around the joint between piston and body. Store in clean dry conditions.
If this equipment is left outside for any extended period of time, protect against atmospheric corrosion by
applying grease to unprotected surfaces. This applies in particular to the hydraulic jack piston if it is left
extended.
