PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the kit in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any
other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter before using.
2. Based on continuous engagement and disengagement of the hose from the cylinder, eventually it will become necessary to add hydraulic
fluid to the pump's reservoir. Completely retract the ram before adding hydraulic fluid. Do not overfill in order to avoid personal injury and
hydraulic malfunction. Use only hydraulic jack oil. Other fluids will cause damage to the hydraulic seals.
Warning: In order to prevent seal damage and kit failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid or transmission oil in the pump.
3. Every kit owner is responsible for keeping the kit labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the kit
components but not any moving hydraulic components.
4. Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you are a qualified hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this equipment.
Repairs must be performed by an authorized service center.
TROUBLESHOOTING
