Oil filler plug
Regular maintenance is recommended. Lubrication of the jack is critical. Any contaminants like dirt, rust, etc
may damage the internal components of the hydraulic assembly. Ensure that the wheels are cleaned and are
free of any dirt etc before use. Doing this will prevent possible damage to the wheels.
1. Check and maintain the ram hydraulic oil level. Only use hydraulic jack oil. Do not use motor oil, brake or
transmission fluids as these will destroy the seals.
2. Lubricate the ram, ram linkage and the foot pump with a light machine oil.
3. Lubricate the castors and the axles with bearing grease.
4. Check and maintain the ram every three months for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean the ram with an oiled
cloth. When not in use, always leave the ram inside the ram cylinder. Doing this will prevent the ram from
being exposed to dirt and other contaminants.
5. Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
MAINTENANCE
PLEASE FOLLOW THE BELOW STEPS WHEN LUBRICATING THE VEHICLE POSITIONING JACK:
TO ADD OIL
Place the hydraulic vehicle positioning jack with the oil filler plug be horizontally then remove the oil filler plug.
Fill until oil is level with the filler plug hole. It is recommended to use a good grade Hydraulic Fluid (ISO 10-15
or equivalent).
During shipment, after topping up the oil or a prolonged time
without use, air may get into the hydraulic system causing
poor lifting performance. It will be necessary to perform a
system air purge procedure as follows:
1. Depress the foot pedal rapidly several times.
2. Carefully and slowly remove the oil filler plug (Refer to
Figure 1) a little bit to release the trapped air.
3. Replace the oil filler plug and check for proper pump action.
4. The hydraulic vehicle positioning jack will now be ready to
use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the jack on the floor and depress the pedal to release the pedal lock hook. Remove the locking pin
from the frame.
2. Open the release valve by turning counterclockwise. Expand the jack by hand enough to place one arm on
either side of the tyre and position so both rollers are in contact with the tyre tread. Install Jack so that the
unit is parallel to the sidewall of the tyre to be lifted.
IMPORTANT - Leave approximately 20mm of clearance between the sidewall of the tyre and face of the jack.
If the jack is misaligned, it is possible that the tyre will be forced to hit the axle of the Jack andIMPORTANT -
not the rollers, or the face of the jack will come into contact with the face of the wheel. ThisIMPORTANT -
may damage the wheel being lifted or the jack which will void the warranty.IMPORTANT -
3. Close release valve by turning clockwise to a snug-tight position.
4. To lift, depress the foot pedal with smooth, even strokes. Cycle pedal until tyre is lifted from surface by
approx. 25mm.
5. After achieving desired height secure the locking pin in place before moving the vehicle. Repeat process on
the remaining tyres and maneuver the vehicle as required.
6. To release the jack, remove the pin out from the frame and open the release valve by turning
counter-clockwise SLOWLY. Jack may be removed when rollers disengage from the tyre.
