Maintenance
When the Streetwize Hydraulic Motorcycle Jack is not in use, ensure the
lifting platform is fully retracted (i.e. fully lowered and not lifted). To get the
best lifespan of the product, we highly recommend cleaning and lubricating
all the pivoting joints with a suitable mechanical oil. Please wipe off any
excess oil to prevent any slippage or falling.
Maintaining the Hydraulic Unit
The hydraulic unit is the main component of the jack that undertakes the
lifting of the load. To ensure the long life of the hydraulic unit, we advise
that you top up or change the oil as and when needed.
WARNING: Please do not expose the hydraulic jack to moisture. If the jack becomes wet,
please dry immediately. We also advise that you check the pump piston and the ram of the
hydraulic unit periodically for any signs of rust or corrosion. Clean mildly affected areas with a
clean oilcloth. Never use abrasives on the pump piston or ram surfaces.
Adding Oil
If the hydraulic unit is not able to lift to its optimum performance level,
then there is likelihood that the oil level inside the hydraulic unit is low. To
add oil or check the oil levels inside the hydraulic unit, please follow the
instructions below:
1. To check hydraulic oil level, remove the hydraulic unit from the
motorcycle jack and place it upright on a stable, level surface.
Remove the oil filler plug (see figure 6). The oil should be level to the
oil filler plug hole.
2. If oil level is low, refill with high-quality hydraulic jack oil ONLY. Never
use ANY other fluid. Use of other fluid may result in hydraulic system
failure, causing sudden and unexpected loss of load height.
3. Place the oil filler plug back in its place and then install the hydraulic
unit back onto the receiver of the motorcycle jack. Secure with provided
bolts and washers.
