Follow the maintenance instructions carefully to keep
equipment in good working condition. Never perform
any maintenance while it is under a load.
INSPECTION
Inspect the product for damage, wear and broken or
missing parts. Ensure all components function before
each use. Follow lubrication and storage instructions for
optimum product performance.
BINDING
If the product binds while under a load, use equipment
with equal or larger load capacity to lower the
load safely to the ground. After unbinding, clean,
lubricate and test that equipment works 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 it without a load.
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
This equipment will not operate safely without proper
lubrication. Using the equipment without proper
lubrication will result in poor performance and damage
to the equipment. Some parts of this equipment are not
self-lubricating. Inspect the equipment before each
use and lubricate when necessary. After cleaning
equipment, use a light penetrating oil lubricating spray.
• Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
• For light duty use: lubricate monthly.
• For heavy and constant use: lubricate weekly.
• Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on the
surfaces.
WARNING!
• Do not use motor oil in the jack. Only use a
good grade anti-foaming hydraulic jack oil.
• Do not use hydraulic brake fluid, alcohol,
glycerine, detergent, motor oil or dirty oil.
• Use of a non-recommended fluid can cause
damage to a jack.
• Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with
local regulations.
