Maintenance Instructions

If you use and maintain your Hi-Lift jack properly, it will give you many years of service. Follow the mainte-

nance instructions carefully to keep your jack in good working condition. NEVER PERFORM MAINTENANCE

ON THE JACK WHILE IT IS UNDER LOAD.

Cleaning

If the moving parts of the jack or the standard bar are clogged, use air pressure, water pressure, or a stiff

brush to clean. Use a non-ﬂammable cleaning solvent or another good de-greaser to clean the jack. Remove

any existing rust, preferably with a penetrating lubricant.

Binding

If the climbing pins start to bind in the holes of the standard bar the jack will not operate properly and

safely. Rusty climbing pins, dirt, or worn bar can be causes of binding.

Clean and lubricate the lifting mechanism as indicated in the Lubrication section. Test the jack by lifting it

up without a load. If the binding continues, send it to our Factory Service for repair. If the jack binds while

under a load, use a jack with equal or larger load capacity to lower the load safely to the ground. After un-

binding the jack clean, lubricate and test as described at the start of this paragraph.

Storing the Jack

1. Place the handle in the upright clipped position against the steel standard bar.

2. Raise the reversing latch until it locks in the

position.

3. Store in the upright clipped position in a dry location, preferably indoors.

Tip:

If the jack is stored outdoors, consider using a Hi-Lift protective cover accessory.

Storing the Equipment-Agricultural Jack

1. Pivot the Equipment-Agriculture jack to a horizontal position. Rest the steel handle of the Equipment-Agri-

cultural jack on top of the steel standard bar.

2. Secure the jack in this position with the lock-pin through the holes in the tubular mounting bracket.

3. Secure the lock-pin in the tubular mounting brackets with the safety cotter pin.

Inspection

You should inspect the jack for damage, wear, broken or missing parts (e.g.: climbing pins) and functional-

ity before each use (see

General Safety: Inspection

). Follow lubrication and storage instructions for optimum

jack performance.
