 Ensure the jack is in sound condition and good working order. Take action for immediate repair or replacement of

damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.

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

 Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit working area. Keep working area clean and tidy and free from unrelated

materials.

 Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam as jack may sink in.

 Place wedges under wheels of vehicle, but ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no

obstructions.

 Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched off and transmission is in gear (or “PARK”

automatic).

 Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static objects such as doors, walls, etc., to allow for

vehicle tilting.

 Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle and that all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst

the jack is in use.

 Place jack under lifting points recommended by vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle hand book). Ensure lifting

point is stable and centred on saddle.

 DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the lifted load.

 Use suitable capacity axle stands under the vehicle before proceeding with any task.

 Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the vehicle before lowering.

 DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.

 DO NOT work under the vehicle until axle stands have been correctly positioned.

 DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack (3 tonne/3000 kg). When lifting a load of maximum capacity or

close to it, it is recommended that the effort be reduced by the use of assistance during this operation.

 DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.

 DO NOT jack vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery acid, or other dangerous substances.

 DO NOT allow the vehicle to move while supported by the jack, or use the jack to move the vehicle.

 DO NOT top up hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use hydraulic jack oil only and use a qualified person to

maintain jack hydraulic system.

 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.

DO NOT use jack for purposes other than which it is designed.

 DO NOT allow persons to ride on the jack.

 When not in use store jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof area.

This document describes the Sealey 1153CXHV 3-tonne Trolley Jack, a heavy-duty, long-chassis garage jack designed for hobby and recovery vehicle use. It is supplied in a high-visibility green for easy location and visual safety, featuring a tough pump bracket and a one-piece hydraulic unit with a safety overload valve. The jack comes with a one-piece pumping handle that includes a rubber grip for comfortable operation.

Function Description:

The Sealey 1153CXHV trolley jack is designed for lifting vehicles. It operates by pumping a handle to extend a hydraulic ram, which raises a saddle positioned under the vehicle's lifting point. The jack is a lifting device only and is not intended to support the lifted load for extended periods; suitable capacity axle stands must be used for vehicle support during maintenance tasks. A release valve allows for controlled lowering of the vehicle. The jack incorporates a safety excess pressure valve that will open and stop the vehicle from lifting if overloaded.

Important Technical Specifications:

Capacity: 3 tonnes (3000 kg)
Minimum Saddle Height: 140 mm
Maximum Saddle Height: 432 mm
Maximum Chassis Height: 165 mm
Length: 625 mm
Weight: 19 kg
Hydraulic System: One-piece hydraulic unit with safety overload valve.
Standards Compliance: Conforms to EN 1494:2000+A1:2008 and various EC Directives including Machinery (2006/42/EC), Low Voltage (2014/35/EU), EMC (2014/30/EU), and Pressure Equipment (2014/68/EU).

Usage Features:

Safety First: Before use, the jack must be in sound working order, and any damaged parts must be repaired or replaced with genuine parts. The jack should be used on level, solid ground (preferably concrete) and in a well-lit, clean working area, free from obstructions.
Vehicle Preparation: Before lifting, ensure the vehicle's handbrake is engaged, the engine is switched off, and the transmission is in gear (or "PARK" for automatics). Wheel wedges should be placed under the vehicle's wheels, ensuring the jack's wheels are free to move.
Lifting Points: The jack saddle must be positioned under the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting points (refer to the vehicle's handbook), ensuring the lifting point is stable and centered on the saddle.
Operation: To lift, place the handle onto the release valve (B) and turn it clockwise to close the valve. Then, place the handle into the jacking point (A) and pump the handle up and down using maximum strokes until the saddle reaches the desired height. To lower, turn the handle anti-clockwise very slowly to open the release valve (B), controlling the descent speed carefully to avoid sudden changes.
Overload Protection: The jack is equipped with a safety overload valve that prevents lifting beyond its rated capacity.
Air Purging: Before first use, purge the hydraulic unit to eliminate air by opening the release valve, pumping the handle 30-40 times, and then closing the valve.
Assistance for Heavy Loads: When lifting loads at or near maximum capacity, it is recommended to use assistance to reduce the effort required.
Storage: When not in use, the jack should be stored fully lowered in a safe, dry, childproof area, with the handle removed to deactivate it, minimizing corrosion.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Checks: Before each use, inspect the jack for any broken, cracked, bent, or loose parts, including the ram, pump, saddle, lifting arm, frame, nuts, bolts, pins, and other fasteners. If any suspect item is found, the jack must be removed from service and repaired.
Lubrication: Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts with oil regularly. Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of corrosion, cleaning exposed areas with a clean, oiled cloth.
Hydraulic Oil Replacement: The hydraulic oil should be replaced after one year to extend the jack's life. Only hydraulic jack oil (such as Sealey Hydraulic Jack Oil) should be used. Brake fluid or other non-hydraulic fluids must NOT be used, as this can cause severe damage and invalidate the warranty.
Checking Oil Level: To check the oil level, fully lower the jack, remove the front cover plate (fig. 1.C) and the filler plug (fig.2.0). The correct oil level is at the bottom of the filler hole. If low, fill as required. Pump the jack 5 or 6 times to expel air, then pump to full height and pour off any excess oil before refitting the plug. Do NOT adjust the safety overload valve (fig.2.V).
Draining Oil: To drain the oil, remove the filler plug and raise the front of the jack, ensuring no dirt enters the hydraulic system.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the jack not lifting, lifting poorly, not holding a load, or not lowering completely. This guide outlines possible causes (e.g., low oil level, air in system, worn packings, dirty oil) and corresponding remedies (e.g., topping up oil, purging air, replacing packings, cleaning valves).
Professional Repair: Maintenance or repair of the hydraulic system must only be performed by a competent person. Sealey provides service/repair agents throughout the UK; customers should contact Sealey for their local agent's details.
