This document is the instruction and user manual for the JCB TH32006 Trolley Jack, an original instructions manual with an issue date of 05/2023.
Function Description
The JCB TH32006 Trolley Jack is designed primarily for lifting, but not sustaining, rated capacity loads. It is intended to be used in conjunction with appropriately rated jack stands. The trolley jack features a unique mechanism that provides fast, no-load lifts to the jacking point. Its primary purpose is to lift one axle of a vehicle for the purpose of service and/or repair of vehicle components. After lifting, it is crucial that loads are immediately supported by appropriately rated jack stands. The manual emphasizes checking the vehicle owner's manual for proper jacking points.
Important Technical Specifications
The TH32006 Trolley Jack has the following key specifications:
- Max. Load: 1500 kg
- Min. Height: 70 mm
- Max. Height: 610 mm
The product's life is stated as five years. The jack must be used within specific application limits, with a temperature range between -20°C and +50°C. During use, the force required may exceed 400N, in which case a second person's help is recommended.
Usage Features
The manual outlines several critical usage features and warnings to ensure safe operation:
Before Use:
- Compatibility Check: Verify that the product is compatible with the intended application.
- Manual Review: Read and thoroughly understand the owner's manual, familiarizing yourself with the product, its components, and associated hazards.
- Pre-Service Inspection: Ensure the jack rolls freely and the pump operates smoothly before putting it into service.
- Lift Point Verification: Confirm the lift point, insert the handle into the handle sleeve, and pump to contact the lift point. Pump the handle until the load reaches the desired height.
- Load Transfer: Immediately transfer the lifted load to appropriately rated jack stands.
Lowering:
- Clearance: Raise the load high enough to clear the jack stands, then carefully remove the jack stands (always used in pairs).
- Controlled Descent: Slowly turn the handle anti-clockwise, but no more than a 1/2 full turn, to lower the load.
- Ram Protection: After removing the jack from under the load, push the saddle down to reduce ram exposure to rust and contamination.
Safety Warnings and Remaining Risks:
- Read Instructions: Users must read the instruction manual to reduce the risk of injury.
- Jack Stands are Essential: NEVER work on, under, or around a load supported only by a jack. ALWAYS use adequately rated jack stands.
- Clear Area: Ensure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering the load.
- No Alterations: No alterations should be made to the device. Only manufacturer-supplied attachments and/or adaptors should be used.
- Jacking Points: Only lift the vehicle using the jacking points specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Environmental Conditions: Do not use under harsh conditions (e.g., extreme climates, freezing conditions, powerful magnetic fields), in strong winds, in the rain, or in a dusty environment.
- Prohibited Uses: Do not use to lift people. Do not handle hazardous loads (e.g., molten metals, acids, radioactive materials, fragile loads). Do not use on-board ships.
- Foodstuff Contact: The product must not come into direct contact with foodstuffs.
- Load Movement: Do not move or dolly loads with this device.
- Operator Visibility: The operator needs to be able to see the lifting mechanism and the load during movements. No work is allowed under lifted loads until the load is properly strapped down using suitable means.
- Vehicle Preparation: Park the vehicle, apply the handbrake, and chock the wheels to prevent inadvertent movement. Put the vehicle in gear before lifting.
- Surface Requirement: Use only on hard, level surfaces capable of supporting the load marked on the equipment.
- Inspection: Inspect before each use. Do not use if broken, bent, cracked, or damaged parts are noted. Any jack appearing damaged, operating abnormally, or missing parts must be removed from service immediately. If the jack has been subjected to a shock load, discontinue use and remove from service. An annual inspection by qualified personnel is recommended.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the trolley jack:
- Hydraulic Oil: Use only a good grade hydraulic oil (e.g., Mobil TDE 13M or equivalent). The oil level must never overflow its housing.
- Oil Level Check and Refill: With the cup fully down and the piston pump fully in, level the jack in the upright position. Remove the oil filler cap. Fill until the oil level reaches the hole in the filler, then refit the filler cap.
- Qualified Staff: Any maintenance and repair work must be performed by qualified staff.
- Markings: Check the condition of any markings and ensure they remain identical to the original markings.
- Hydraulic System Information: All necessary information must be provided to the operator. When refilling the hydraulic system, ensure that the specifications of the hydraulic fluid used in the jack and the level of the fluid are as stated by the manufacturer.
Storage
When not in use, the jack should be stored with the saddle fully lowered to protect the ram from rust and contamination.
Decommissioning
When disposing of the product, it must be done in accordance with current regulations. The product should be taken to a facility provided for that purpose so that it may be recovered, reused, recycled, or destroyed in a safe, environmentally-friendly way. If the product is no longer serviceable, it must be destroyed.
