1. SAFETY
Inspect and lubricate the jack regularly to ensure it is in good working order. DO NOT use the jack if damaged or a fault is suspected. Check chapter 6 troubleshooting. If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts immediately.
Use authorised parts only, the use of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty. Ensure the jacking area is clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and there is adequate lighting. Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam since the jack may sink in. Park the vehicle and apply hand brake; if automatic, place in Park (P) mode. Switch off the engine, and place chocks under the wheels. Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle tilt and static objects such as doors, walls, etc. Ensure all persons are out of the vehicle before jacking. DO NOT enter vehicle whilst it is supported on the jack or axle stands. Check vehicle weight and recommended lifting points by referring to the vehicle owner’s manual. Ensure the lifting point is not corroded. Check jack saddle is centred and stable on lifting point, (off-centre loads can slip). Position jack to avoid operating it from under vehicle.  DANGER! Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load. ALWAYS USE PROPERLY RATED AXLE STANDS. Keep hands etc. clear of moving parts during raising and lowering of the vehicle. Use properly rated axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.  DANGER! Roadside wheel change is hazardous. Be extra vigilant. You may not be able to avoid jacking on tarmacadam. Get everyone
out of vehicle. NEVER go under vehicle, traffic may cause vehicle to rock. Use hazard warning lights. If in doubt call professional help.
When changing a wheel, slightly loosen wheel nuts prior to jacking vehicle. Screw wheel nuts back before lowering vehicle. Use a competent person to lubricate and maintain the jack.  DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack, andDO NOT operate the jack beyond its maximum pump stroke.  WARNING! DO NOT allow the vehicle to move during jacking. DO NOT start the engine when vehicle is jacked up.  DO NOT jack a vehicle if it may result in the spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.  DO NOT place any part of your body under vehicle whilst supported by jack. Wait until properly rated axle stands have been correctly
positioned.  DO NOT use jack to support extensions or cradles. DO NOT modify jack in any way. DO NOT use the jack for any other purpose than that for which it is designed.
 DO NOT top up jack hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic oil only, and DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.  Ensure there are no persons or obstruction beneath the vehicle before lowering.  Clean, and stow the jack securely, with the ram in the down position. Ensure stowage area is dry.WARNING! Remember, It is very dangerous to get under a vehicle supported by a jack even if additional supports are used.
DO NOT go under a vehicle without the support of properly rated axle stands. NOTE: Seek advice before jacking caravans or trailers.

4. ASSEMBLY
4.1 Before using the jack, purge the hydraulic circuit, in order to eliminate any air from the system
that may have accumulated during transit, as follows: a) Insert jack handle over release valve (fig.1) and turn anti-clockwise to open valve. b) Insert jack handle into the handle socket (fig.2) and pump several times to ensure full
internal lubrication and to bleed air from the system.
c) When complete place the handle back over the release valve and turn clockwise to close.
WARNING! Ensure you prepare vehicle and use jack according to chapter 1 SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
Check that the supporting ground upon which the jack will stand is level and solid and not
tarmacadam.
4.2. Position the jack saddle (fig.1) under the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended lifting point ensuring the saddle is correctly centred beneath the load. Ensure jack is positioned to avoid having to operate it from under the vehicle, and that the handle is free to move up and down.

4.3. Pump the handle up and down using full stroke range so that the saddle reaches the working height quickly.
4.4. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety overload valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
4.5. Position axle stands under the vehicle before attempting any work.
4.6. Lowering the load
4.6.1. Ensure the axle stands are removed and that there are no persons or obstacles beneath the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
4.6.2. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn release valve. Turn anti-clockwise and lower carefully, avoiding sudden release.
5. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully competent personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid. Use only a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL. Failure to do this may cause serious damage to the jack and will invalidate the warranty!
Note: Ensure waste oil is disposed of in accordance with local authority regulations.
5.1. When the jack is not in use, the ram must be in the lowest position to minimise ram and piston corrosion.
5.2. Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil on a regular basis.
5.3. To check oil level, lower the jack fully. Remove the filler plug. The correct oil level should be to the same level as the filler opening.
5.4. 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
plug and release valve. Make sure that no dirt is allowed to enter the oil reservoir.
5.5. Replace release valve and refill with fresh oil. Pump the unloaded jack 5 or 6 times to expel air. Check level as in 5.3. Refit filler plug.
5.6. Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts. Also check for any visible damage to welds, ram, pump, body,
stand, and all parts. If any suspect item is found remove the jack from service and take necessary action to remedy the problem. DO NOT use the jack if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take appropriate action
5.7 Check the pump piston and piston periodically rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
IMPORTANT: NO RESPONSIBILITY IS ACCEPTED FOR INCORRECT USE OF THE JACK. Owing to their size and weight, hydraulic products should ideally be repaired by local service agents. we have service / repair agents in
most parts of the UK. Before returning your product please call our technical helpline on 01284 757505 for advice and trouble shooting guidance.
If the jack is under guarantee please contact your dealer.
5.8. De-commissioning the jack: Should the jack become completely unserviceable and require disposal, draw off the oil into an approved container and dispose of the jack and the oil according to local regulations.
