WARNINGS

• Do not operate this product if it is damaged.

• This jack is a lifting device only, it is not intended for hold­ing weight - always use axle stands where necessary to
support the vehicle.

• No after market alterations must be made to this jack.

• Only designated attachments and adaptors supplied by sgs
engineering should be used.

• Ensure minimum distance of 50cm between static objects
such as doors, walls etc to allow for vehicle tilting.

• Never adjust the safety overload valve.

• Never top up the hydraulic system of this trolley jack using
brake fluid.

• Always lift in areas of the vehicle assembly as advised by
the vehicle manufacturer, e.g in proper jacking points etc

• Always store this trolley jack in a safe area when not in use,

INSPECTION BEFORE EACH USE

Before each use, it’s highly advised to visually inspect this trol­ley jack.

Abnormalities that should be checked for every time:

• cracked welds

• leaking fluid anywhere on the trolley jack

• bent parts

• missing parts

• loose parts

• damaged parts

This trolley jack should be taken out of service if it is believed
to have been subjected to an abnormal load or shock.
Owner/operators should be aware that repair of this trolley jack
requires specialist attention in the form of suitable repair
equipment and knowledge.

PURGING YOUR TROLLEY JACK

Sometimes during transport and handling, air gets into the
hydraulic system causing poor lifting performance. Before the
initial operation purge any air from the system by following
these steps:

1. The jack handle should be placed
on the release valve and turned anti­clockwise to open the valve.

2. Place the handle back into the
receiver and pump the jack handle up
and down 20 times.
This should force any air from the
system and lubricate the seals.

3. Close the release valve by turning
clockwise.

4. Test the jack. If the jack won’t lift, or
lifts but won’t hold a load, then repeat
the procedure. If the problem persists
then please contact us.

RAISING THE VEHICLE

1. Make sure the jack and vehicle are on
a hard level surface.

2. Always set the vehicle handbrake and
chock the wheels.

3. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual to
ascertain the location of jacking points
and position the jack beneath the lifting
point.

4. Raise your vehicle by closing the
release valve and pumping the handle.

LOWERING THE VEHICLE

1. Place the handle onto the release valve
and turn it slowly anti-clockwise to open
the release valve.

2. The vehicle will lower.

MAINTENANCE GUIDE

Daily. See INSPECTION BEFORE EACH USE (page 4).

Monthly. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy

loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust or corrosion can cause
either slow movement or rapid jerks damaging the internal
components. The following steps are designed to keep the
jack maintained and operational:

1. Open the release valve by turning the handle knob counter
clockwise and push the ram to its lowest position

2. Remove the filler plug.

3. Fill with clean hydraulic jack oil. Do not use hydraulic brake
fluid.

4. Reinstall the filler plug.

Add lubrication to all moving parts as needed.

Every 6 months. Carry out a thorough inspection for service­ability of component parts Visually inspect for oil leaks (only
a slight oil seepage is permissible). If a leak is found, take the
jack out of service and consult with SGS Engineering.

Annually. Check the ram oil level as follows:

1. Ensure the ram is fully retracted by turning the knob fully
anticlockwise.

2. Remove the cover plate, located at the base of the handle
housing, to gain access the ram, then remove the ram filler
plug.

3. Lift the jack so that it is vertical, resting on its front wheels
and check the oil level. It should be level with the bottom
of the oil filler hole. If necessary, top up with Hydraulic oil.

4. Replace filler plug and purge system of air (see page 5).
