MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
If the moving parts of the jack or the steel standard) bar) are clogged, use air pressure, water
pressure, or a stiff brush to clean. Use a non-flammable cleaning solvent or another good de-
greaser to clean the jack. Remove any existing rust, preferably with a penetrating lubricant. Then
lubricate the jack using white lithium grease, light penetrating oil, or a silicon or Teflon spray at the
following points:
Use a good lubricant on all moving parts.
For light duty use, lubrication is needed once a month.
For heavy and constant use, lubrication is recommended every week.
Steel Bar:
Keep the front and back edges of the steel standard (column) lightly lubricated and free from dirt
and rust.
Pitman Pin:
Keep the pitman pin lubricated or it will damage the handle socket and pitman.
Shear Bolt:
Keep the shear bolt clean and lubricated to keep it from wearing out.
Climbing Pins and springs:
Keep both climbing pins and springs lubricated and free from dirt and rust.
Do not use motor oil or grease to lubricate the jack
Rust Prevention:
Check daily for any signs of rust or corrosion.
Without a load lift the equipment as high as it goes and look under and behind the lifting points. If
signs of rust are visible clean as needed.
WARNING:
Storing the Jack
1. Place the handle in the upright position against the steel standard (column).
2. Raise the reversing latch until it locks in the UP position.
3. Store the jack in a upright position in a dry location, preferably indoors. If the jack is stored
outdoors, or is stored in a Loc-Rac or 4x4 RAC use a jack protector.
4. Store in a dry location, recommended indoors.
5. Mechanical jacks should be stored in an area where they will not be subjected to damage.
6. If extreme temperatures or chemically active or abrasive environments are involved, the
guidance provided in shall be followed.
7. Temperature - When mechanical jacks are to be used at temperatures above 140"F (60"C) or
below -20"F (-29"C), the jack manufacturer or a qualified person should be consulted.
8. Chemically Active Environments -The strength and operation of mechanical jacks can be
affected by chemically active environments such as caustic or acid substances or fumes. The
jack manufacturer or a qualified person should be consulted before mechanical jacks are used
in chemically active environments.
9. Other Environments - The internal workings of jacks can be affected by high moisture, gravel or
sand, silt, grit, or other dust-laden air. Jacks subject to these environments should have their
inner components frequently cleaned, inspected, and lubricated.
Note: If the jack is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to
ensure the jack stays in good working condition.
Jack is not self-lubricating. It will not operate safely without proper lubrication.
