1.
Lubricate the cylinder and the pumping mechanism with light oil.
2.
Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or hydraulic
oil leaks.
3.
Inspect the hydraulic ram immediately if it was subjected to an abnormal
load or shock load.
4.
Remove any hydraulic jack pump from service that is damaged, worn
down or operates abnormally, until repaired by an authorized service
technician.
5.
Check and maintain the ram oil level.
6.
Always store the hydraulic ram in the fully retracted position. This will
help protect critical areas from corrosion.
7.
Do not use brake or transmission fluids or regular motor oil as they can
damage the seals. Always purchase and use products labeled Hydraulic
Oil.
REFILL THE HYDRAULIC JACK PUMP
The pump may become less efficient when the hydraulic oil level is too low or
contaminated by metal particulate through normal wear-and-tear.
1.
Retract the ram and remove the oil filler plug.
2.
Check and maintain the ram oil level.
•
Check the oil level with the oil dip stick. Use a long plastic cable tie
as a substitute if the unit does not have a dipstick.
3.
Fill the cylinder with a high quality hydraulic jack oil, up to the oil plug
opening.
a.
Place a funnel into the oil fill neck. The funnel opening should be
wide enough to prevent the oil from collecting in the funnel' s cone.
b.
Pour oil into the funnel. Allow the oil to settle for one minute and
recheck the level. Repeat until the desired level is reached.
4.
Follow the steps in Bleeding the Hydraulic System.
5.
Insert the oil filler plug and hand tighten.
6.
Wipe up any spilled oil. Dispose of oil soaked rags in a proper hazardous
waste container.
