1. SAFETY

9 Ensure the Jack is in sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged parts. Use

recommended parts only. The use of improper parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

9 Locate the Jack in an adequate, well lit working area for its function.
9 Keep working area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials.
9 Use Jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as Jack may sink in.
9 Place wedges under wheels of vehicle (but ensure wheels of Jack can move freely ).
9 Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged (or in “PARKED” mode), and switch the engine off.
9 Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle tilt & static objects such as doors, walls, etc.
9 Ensure all non essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the Jack is in use.
9 Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle to be jacked up.
9 Place Jack under vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting points (see vehicle hand book).
9 Check that the lifting point is stable and centred on the Jack saddle.
9 Ensure the Jack wheels are free to move and that there are no obstructions.
9 WARNING: The jack is a lifting device only.
9 To support the load always use axle stands (available from your Sealey dealer).
9 Ensure there are no persons or obstruction beneath the vehicle before lowering.
9 Use a qualified person to lubricate and maintain the Jack.
9 Use only hydraulic jack oil.
9 When not in use store jack in a safe, dry, child proof area in the lowered position.
8 DO NOT jack vehicle which may result in spillage of fuel, battery acid, or

dangerous substances.

8 DO NOT work under the vehicle until Axle Stands have been correctly positioned.
8 DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
8 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
8 DO NOT use the jack for purposes other than which it is intended.
8 DO NOT top up the hydraulic unit with brake fluid. Use hydraulic oil only.
8 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
8 DO NOT allow the vehicle to move whist lifting or lowering.
8 DO NOT use the jack to move vehicle.
8 DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.

2. INTRODUCTION

Heavy-duty chassis with strengthening anges along the top edge for extra torsional rigidity under load. Proled lifting arm allows low
clearance height of just 85mm making this unit suitable for sports and custom cars. Fitted with heavy-duty one-piece hydraulic unit with pump­through action preventing handle locking at maximum ram extension. White saddle aids positioning under vehicle and safety valve prevents
overloading. Integral release mechanism prevents inadvertent lowering of saddle.

5. OPERATION

5.1. Before first use.
Before using the jack, purge hydraulic circuit in order to eliminate any possible air in the system by turning the handle anti-clockwise
to open the release valve, and pumping 15 to 20 times (fig.1). At the end of the last downward stroke shut the valve off again by
turning the handle clockwise.

5.2. General.
 WARNING! Before lifting ensure chapter 1 safety instructions are strictly followed.

5.2.1. Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in the safety instructions ensuring the ground on which the Jack is to stand is level and solid (not

tarmacadam).

5.2.2. Position the Jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point. (See vehicle handbook for details).

5.2.3. Jacking the vehicle.

5.2.4. Turn the handle clockwise to close the valve and commence pumping the handle up and down using maximum strokes until the

vehicle reaches the desired working height.

5.2.5. Should the Jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure valve will open, and stop the jack from lifting.

5.3. Weight Distribution

Up to 80% of the lifted load is carried by the front Jack wheels placing exceptional stress on the point of contact with the supporting
floor. For this reason use on a hard level concrete surface only.

5.4. Lowering the load

The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the handle. Lower slowly and carefully, avoiding sudden release.

 WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.

6. MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.

6.1. When the Jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to inactivate Jack.

6.2. Keep the Jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil on a regular basis.

6.3. To check the oil level, fully lower the Jack. Remove filler plug (fig.2). The correct oil level should be approximately 5mm below the

filler opening. If oil level is low, fill as required. Pump unloaded jack 15 to 20 times to expel air and then refit plug.
NOTE: Use a good quality Jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.

 WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than hydraulic jack fluid as this may cause serious damage to the Jack and will

invalidate the warranty!

6.4. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, or any visible damage to welds, ram, pump, saddle, lifting arm, frame

and all parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other fasteners. If any suspect item is found remove jack from service and take necessary
action to remedy the problem. DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take
appropriate action.

6.5. Every three months remove the locking rings on the caster wheels and lubricate the ball bearings with acid free grease.

6.6. After a year of extensive use, the oil should be replaced in order to extend the life of your jack. To drain the oil, remove the filler cap

and valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the hydraulic system’s oil. Dispose of oil according to local authority regulations.
See 6.3. for refill instructions.

6.7. Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.

IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE JACK.
Hydraulic products are only repaired by local service agents. We have service/repair agents in all parts of the UK.
