MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid
mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid,
turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin.
Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack
and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.
We recommend Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent.
On air actuated model, periodically check for leaks at
air connections. Replace connections as needed.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered, set jack in its upright, level
position. Remove oil filler screw.
2. Fill until oil is level with the filler screw hole, reinstall
oil filler screw.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the
complete fluid supply at least once a year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, set jack in its upright, level
position. Remove the oil filler screw.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local
regulations.
3. Set jack in its level, upright positon and fill with oil
until just below the rim of the oil filler hole.
4. Reinstall the oil filler screw.
Lubrication
1. A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points,
axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure
that wheels, casters and pump assemblies move
freely.
2. When used on a daily basis, air pump model should
be internally lubricated before each use. Use only
good quality air tool lubricant. If no inline oiler is used,
pour a teaspoon of air tool oil into the inlet of the air
supply inlet. Simply operate the jack using the air
feature in order to fully distribute the oil.
Cleaning
Periodically check the ram for signs of rust or corrosion.
Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on
these surfaces !
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle in lowest
position and air supply disconnected.
