1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2. INTRODUCTION & Specification
3.1.2. Place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil onto the pump piston
and pump the handle several times to distribute the oil.
Thoroughly lubricate all moving parts.
3.2.
General jacking.
p
WARNING! Before lifting ensure Section 1 safety instructions
are read and understood.
3.2.1. Prepare the vehicle as mentioned in the safety instructions
ensuring the ground on which the jack is to stand is level and
solid (not tarmacadam).
3.2.2. Position the jack saddle under the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended lifting point.
3.3.
Jacking the vehicle.
3.3.1. Close the release valve using the handle as shown in fig.2.
Place the handle into the handle socket and commence
pumping handle up and down using maximum strokes until the
jack saddle reaches the vehicle jacking point. Check the
jacking point is centrally located on the saddle and raise the
vehicle.
3.3.2. Should the jack become overloaded, a safety excess pressure
valve will open, and stop the vehicle from lifting.
p
WARNING! The jack is a lifting device only and must not be
used to support the load. Use correctly rated axle stands to
support the load.
3.4.
Lowering the vehicle
p
WARNING! Ensure there are no persons or obstacles beneath
the vehicle, or in the path of its descent.
3.4.1. If using axle stands, raise the jack high enough for the stands
to be easily removed. Then place the handle onto the release
valve nut and turn anti-clockwise, very slowly, to open the valve.
3.4.2. The lowering speed is controlled by the amount you turn the
handle. Lower carefully, avoid any sudden changes in descent
rate which would shock load the hydraulic system.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3
Ensure the jack is in sound condition and good working order.
Take action for immediate repair or replacement of damaged
parts. Use genuine parts only. The use of unapproved parts
may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
3
Locate the jack in a suitable, well lit working area.
3
Keep working area clean and tidy and free from unrelated
materials.
3
Use jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid
tarmacadam as jack may sink in.
3
Place wedges under wheels of vehicle (but ensure wheels of
jack can freely move).
3
Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, engine is switched
off and transmission is in gear (or “PARK” if automatic).
3
Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m between vehicle and static
objects such as doors, walls, etc., to allow for vehicle tilting.
3
Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
3
Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst
the jack is in use.
3
Only place jack under those lifting points recommended by
vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle hand book).
3
Check the lifting point is stable and centred on the jack saddle.
3
Ensure the jack wheels are free to move and that there are no
obstructions.
p
DANGER: Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the
lifted load.
3
Use suitable capacity axle stands under the vehicle before
proceeding with any task.
3
Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath the
vehicle before lowering.
3
Use a qualified person to maintain or repair the jack hydraulic
system.
7
DO NOT operate the jack if damaged.
7
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the jack.
7
DO NOT exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
7
DO NOT allow the vehicle to move while supported by the
jack, or use the jack to move the vehicle.

DO NOT jack vehicle if there is a risk of spillage of fuel, battery
acid, or other dangerous substances.
7
DO NOT work under the vehicle until axle stands have been
correctly positioned.
7
DO NOT use the jack for purposes other than which it is intended.
7
DO NOT top up hydraulic system with brake fluid. Use
hydraulic jack oil only.
7
DO NOT adjust the safety overload valve.

3.1.
Before first use.
3.1.1. Before using jack, purge hydraulic unit in order to eliminate any
air in the system. Place handle onto the release valve nut
as shown in fig.2 and open the valve by turning the handle
anti-clockwise, place the handle back into the jacking socket
and pump for 30 to 40 seconds. See fig.1. When complete,
close the release valve by turning the valve nut clockwise.

1020LE ISSUE No:1 24/06/11
4.1.
When the jack is not in use, the ram should be in its lowest
position to minimise corrosion. Remove the handle to
inactivate jack.
4.2.
Keep the jack clean and lubricate all moving parts on a
regular basis.
4.3.
Before each use check for broken, cracked, bent, or loose
parts, or any visible damage to ram, pump, saddle, lifting
arm, frame and all parts including nuts, bolts, pins and other
fasteners. If any suspect item is found remove jack from
service and take necessary action to remedy the problem.
DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to
abnormal load or shock load.
4.4.
Periodically check the pump piston and the ram for signs of
corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
4.5.
After one year the oil should be replaced in order to extend
the life of the jack. Use hydraulic jack oil only.
3
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt
hydraulic maintenance or repair.
4.6.
To check the oil level, fully lower the jack. Remove the two
bolts that hold the black cover in place and prise out the cover
from between the side walls of the jack. Remove oil filler plug
(fig.3). The correct level is just below the bottom of the plug.
If oil level is low, fill as required. Replace cover. NOTE: Use
a good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK
OIL.
p
WARNING: DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than
hydraulic jack oil as this may cause serious damage to the
jack and will invalidate the warranty!
4.7 .
When draining the oil make sure that no dirt is allowed to
enter the hydraulic system.

5.1.
If jack will not lift load.
5.1.1. Oil level may be low. Check oil level as described in section
4.6. and top up if necessary.
5.1.2. To ensure complete distribution of the oil go through the
following procedure. Close the release valve and manually
pull the lifting arm up to its full height. Open the release valve
and, by stepping on the saddle, force the arm to lower as
rapidly as possible. Repeat this operation three or four times.
This procedure also thoroughly flushes the valves and in
most cases will restore the jack to full working order.
5.1.3. The jack may have air trapped in the system. To eliminate
trapped air open the release valve and pump the handle
through its full stroke six times. Close release valve.
5.1.4. After several months of service the pump 'O' ring seal may
become worn. If this is suspected take the jack to an
approved agent for servicing.
5.1.5. The release valve may be held open by dirt on the valve seat.
Flush by pulling the lifting arm up and down several times
manually while the release valve is open.
5.1.6. The load is heavier than 2 tonnes and the overload valve has
operated. The overload valve is factory set and should not be
altered.
5.2.
If jack will not hold the load.

Perform the procedure described in section 5.1.2. If this does
not solve the problem take the jack to an approved agent for
servicing.
5.2.2. Where a jack has received heavy service the ram cup seal
may become worn. If this is suspected take the jack to an
approved agent for servicing.
5.2.3. Release valve partially open. Fully close release valve.
5.3.
