MAINTENANCE
• Maintain your jack. It is recommended that the general condition of any jack be examined before it is
used. Keep your jack in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance. Have
necessary repairs made by qualified service personnel.
• 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.
a. All moving parts of the jack should be regularly cleaned.
b. Lubricate parts as required by the manufacturer's specifications. The type of lubricant should be as
specified by the manufacturer or a qualified person. Lubrication systems should be checked to verify proper
operation.
c. If additional maintenance is required, it should be completed in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer or qualified person.
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. Check
the climbing pins to make sure that they are not worn or damaged.
Check the steel standard (bar) to make sure that it is straight and that nothing is blocking the holes.
Do not use the jack unless it is in good, clean working condition and properly lubricated.
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.
If your jack binds
As your jack becomes older, the climbing pins may start binding in the holes of the steel standard (bar). This
will prevent the jack from operating properly and safely. Rusty climbing pins, dirt, or a worn bar can cause
binding. Clean and lubricate the lifting mechanism. Test the jack by jacking it up without a load. If the binding
continues, refer to the after sale parts and service. If your jack binds while under a load, use a jack with equal
or larger load capacity to lower the load safely to the ground. Repeat the steps in this paragraph to the binding
jack.
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
If the moving parts of the jack or the steel standard) bar) are clogged, use air pressure, water pressure, or
a stiff brush to clean. Use a non-flammable cleaning solvent or another good degreaser to clean the jack.
Remove any existing rust, preferably with a penetrating lubricant. Then lubricate the jack using white lithium
grease, light penetrating oil, or a silicon or Teflon spray at the following points:
Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
For light duty use, lubrication is needed once a month.
For heavy and constant use, lubrication is recommended every week.
Steel Bar:
Keep the front and back edges of the steel standard (column) lightly lubricated and free from dirt and rust.
Pitman Pin:
Keep the pitman pin lubricated or it will damage the handle socket and pitman.
Shear Pin:
Keep the shear bolt clean and lubricated to keep it from wearing out.
Climbing Pins and springs:
Keep both climbing pins and springs lubricated and free from dirt and rust.
Do not use motor oil or grease to lubricate the jack
Rust Prevention:
Check 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.
