Always store your floor jack in a fully lowered state. In doing so you will
help to protect all the critical areas against corrosion.
Do not use any brake or gearbox fluids or regular engine oil, as the seals
could be damaged by this. Always buy and use products which are labelled
as hydraulic oil for floor jacks.
1. We recommend carrying out maintenance work on a surface that is
impervious to oil. Make sure that no oil is spilled. If any oil is
accidentally spilled, it must be collected immediately and disposed of
safely in the appropriate facilities.
2. Remove the inspection plate.
3. Remove the sealing cap from the oil filler nozzle whilst the floor jack is
in the lowered position. Bring the floor jack into a vertical position with
the handle socket pointing downwards. The oil should be on a level with
the bottom of the oil filler opening. Pour not too much oil into the oil tank.
Always top up the oil with new, clean hydraulic oil for the floor jack.
4. Put back the sealing cap on the oil filler nozzle and the inspection plate.
5. Check that the floor jack is working.
6. Vent the hydraulic system if necessary.
VENTING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
1. Turn the release valve anti-clockwise one full turn in order to open it.
2. Pump eight full strokes with the handle.
3. Turn the release valve clockwise to close the valve.
4. Pump with the handle until the thrust plate reaches the maximum height
and continue with several pumping movements to release the air trapped
in the thrust plate.
5. Press the sealing cap on the oil filler nozzle together carefully and slowly
to let out the trapped air.
6. Turn the release valve anti-clockwise one full turn and lower the thrust
plate into its lowest position. Use the necessary force.
7. Turn the release valve clockwise into the closed position and check the
pump action is working properly. It may be necessary to repeat the
above steps several times in order to completely remove the trapped air.
