Check Oil Level - BGS technic 70040 Guia De Inicio Rapido

MAINTENANCE
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads.
Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc., can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks,
damaging the internal components. The following steps are designed to keep the jack well lubricated:
•
Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
•
Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
•
If the jack is subjected to abnormal load or shock, remove from service and have it examined by
a customer service representative prior to use.
•
Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
•
Check and maintain the ram oil level.
•
Check ram every 3 months for any sign of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oil
cloth. When not in use, always leave the saddle and ram all the way down.
•
Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will help protect critical areas from
excessive corrosion. Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can
damage the seals. Always use hydraulic oil.

CHECK OIL LEVEL

1. Turn release valve counterclockwise to allow ram to fully retract. lt may be necessary to apply
force to the saddle for lowering.
2. With the jack in the level position, remove the oil fill plug. Stand jack in vertical position with
handle socket down. The oil should be level with the bottom of fill hole. lf not, top oft. Do not
overfill. Always fill with new, clean hydraulic jack oil.
3. Replace oil filling plug.
4. Check jack operation.
5. Purge air from system as required.
SYSTEM AIR PURGE
1. Turn release valve counterclockwise one full turn to open.
2. Pump handle eight full strokes.
3. Turn release valve clockwise to close valve.
4. Pump with handle until the ram reaches maximum height and continue to pump several times to
remove trapped air in the ram.
5. Carefully and slowly pinch oil fill plug to release trapped air.
6. Turn release valve counterclockwise one full turn and lower ram to the lowest position.
Use force if necessary.
7. Turn release valve clockwise to closed position and check for proper pump action.
It may be necessary to perform the above more than once to assume air is evacuated totally.
