Always store your jack in the fully lowered position. This will prevent critical areas from excessive corrosion.
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to jacks as they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt, rust, etc.,
can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks, damaging the internal components. The following steps are those
designed to keep the jack well lubed:
1. Lubricate the ram, linkages, saddle and pump mechanism with light oil. Grease wheel bearings and axles.
2. Visually inspect for cracked welds, bent, loose, missing parts or hydraulic oil leaks.
3. If jack is subjected to abnormal load or shock, remove from service and have it examined by an Authorized Repair Service.
4. Clean all surfaces and maintain all labels and warnings.
5. Check and maintain the ram oil level.
