5. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt any maintenance or repair.
5.1. When the jack is not in use, the saddle must be at its lowest position - to minimise ram and piston corrosion. Turn the handle back to
its storage position for safety.
5.2. Keep the jack clean and wipe off any excess oil or grease, lubricate all moving parts with oil, and grease tilt mechanism regularly.
5.3. The oil tank is a sealed unit and must not be accessed. For a service, contact your authorised dealer.
WARNING! Only use a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL, DO NOT use brake fluid.
5.4. Before each use, check list to ensure components are not damaged, broken, cracked, bent, malfunctioning, distorted, worn, loose,
leaking, dirty, noisy or that parts are missing or that there is any visible damage to welds, (see Section 3.1). 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 believed to have been subjected to an abnormal load or shock. Inspect it and take appropriate action.
5.5. Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.

4.2. POSITIONING THE JACK BENEATH LOAD.
Before use, check to ensure that the transmission's weight and size do not exceed the capacities of the jack.
4.2.1. Ensure that the vehicle from which the transmission is to be removed is correctly positioned, raised and locked on an appropriate lift system.
4.2.2. Ensure that there are no other persons around or under the vehicle.
4.2.3. Ensure saddle is in it's lowest position, and use the handle to transport and centrally position jack beneath the vehicle's transmission.
4.2.4. Close the jack release valve by turning the knob clockwise.
4.2.5. Pump the jack handle up and down repeatedly to raise the saddle.
4.2.6. When the saddle is just beneath the transmission, re-adjust the alignment if necessary, to centralise the saddle.
4.2.7. Adjust the tilt adjusters (see 4.1.above) if required for final positioning of the saddle.
4.2.8. Raise the saddle further to support the transmission. Remove the transmission from the vehicle.
4.2.9. Position and attach the safety chains correctly for further security.
4.2.10. Ensure that the load is secure before proceeding to lower it.
4.3. LOWERING THE LOAD.
WARNING! Ensure the load is central and stable on the jack saddle before attempting to lower the load. SLOWLY turn the release
valve knob anti-clockwise to GENTLY lower the saddle to the minimum height before attempting to transport the load.
IMPORTANT: Speed of lowering is controlled by the release valve. The further the valve knob is turned, the more rapid the jack’s
descent. Ensure the jack’s descent is slow and controlled to avoid the risk of sudden dropping which could be very dangerous.
4.4. TRANSPORTING THE LOAD.
4.4.1. Ensure that the jack saddle is fully lowered, if required, use another support chain to secure the load, ensuring that they are all pulled
taut and engaged into the slots on the saddle. Tighten all the nuts.
4.4.2. Transport the load over level and solid ground, preferably concrete, and ensure the floor is swept clean beforehand.
4.4.3. Be diligent by continually monitoring the load in transit. Keep all other persons at a safe distance.
DANGER! DO NOT use on tarmacadam, or any soft surface as jack may sink or topple. Serious personal or fatal injury may
result.
DANGER! If the jack tips or leans, STOP WHAT YOUR ARE DOING. MOVE QUICKLY TO A SAFE DISTANCE. DO NOT TRY TO
HOLD OR STEADY THE JACK. Serious personal or fatal injury may result.
4.5. RE-INSTALLING A GEARBOX.
