Safety Precautions - SPX OTC 5007 Instrucciones De Operación

Operating Instructions
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions, including ASME PALD Part 10 for
service jacks.
•
Before using the service jack to lift a vehicle, refer to the vehicle service manual to
determine recommended lifting surfaces on the vehicle chassis.
•
Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
•
Inspect the jack before each use; do not use the jack if it's damaged, altered, or in
poor condition. Take corrective action if any of the following conditions are found:
cracked or damaged housing; excessive wear, bending, or other damage; leaking
hydraulic fluid; scored or damaged piston rod; loose hardware; modified or altered
equipment.
•
A load must never exceed the rated lifting capacity of the jack.
•
Use the jack on a hard, level surface only.
•
Use the jack for lifting purposes only. Stay clear of a lifted load. Place support
stands under the axles before working on the vehicle.
•
Center the load on the jack saddle. Off-center loads can damage seals and cause
jack failure. Lift only dead weight.
•
Do not use blocks or other extenders between the saddle and the load being lifted.
•
Do not modify the jack or use adapters unless approved or supplied by OTC.
•
Lower the jack slowly and carefully while watching the position of the jack saddle.
•
Use only approved hydraulic fluid (MIL-F-17111 or equivalent). The use of alcohol, hydraulic brake
fluid, or transmission oil could damage seals and result in jack failure.
This guide cannot cover every situation, so always do the job with safety first.
1. Turn the jack on its side, and loosen the packing nuts. (Packing nuts are located at each end of the cylinder
where the polished rods extend.) Both packing nuts should be tight enough to prevent oil leakage, yet loose
enough to allow the foot pedal and lift arm to move freely.
2. Position the jack upright.
3. Test the jack by pumping the foot pedal until the lift arm is completely raised. At this point, the foot pedal
operation should become tight. If not, the jack is either air bound or low on fluid. Refer to the instructions for
Adding Hydraulic Fluid
1. Position the jack under the vehicle using the manufacturer's recommended lifting points on the chassis. (To
move the jack, press the handle lock lever until the lock rod engages one of the two handle positions, and
pivot the jack on its rear casters.)
2. Pump the foot pedal to raise the saddle to the contact point.
3. Check the placement of the jack; the load must be centered on the jack saddle. Important: Avoid wheel
obstructions such as gravel, tools, or uneven expansion joints.
4. Finish lifting the vehicle by pumping the handle. Do not attempt to raise the jack beyond its travel stops.
5. Place approved support stands under the vehicle at points that will provide stable support. Before making
repairs on the vehicle, lower it onto the support stands.
6. To lower the load, pull back gently on the release lever.
