MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER
use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerine. Improper fluid can cause
premature failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed set jack in its upright, level position.
Remove oil filler plug.
2. Fill until oil is level with the filler plug hole and reinstall oil filler plug.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year,
1. With saddle fully lowered and pump piston fully depressed, remove the oil filler plug.
2. Lay the jack, on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container. Note: Dispose of hydraulic
fluid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Fill with good quality jack oil. Reinstall oil filler Plug. We recommend Mobil DTE13 or equivalent.
Lubrication
1. A coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and
assure that wheels casters and pump assemblies move freely.
2. Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and
wipe with an oily cloth. Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces !
3. When not in use store the jack with pump piston and ram fully retracted.
