For best results, use only high quality light- weight oil. 7. Keeping the Screw Rod (4) well oiled and free of rust will avoid the jack binding during use. 1 2 3 Figure 4 CARE & MAINTENANCE 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.
