MAINTENANCE

Important: Use only a good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and Never use brake fluid, turbine
oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and
immediate loss of load. We recommend Hein-Werner hydraulic jack oil HW93291.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and unscrew air vent screw.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the air vent screw hole. Reinstall the air vent screw.
Changing oil
For best performance, replace the hydraulic fluid completely annually.
1. With saddle fully lowered, unscrew the air vent screw.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the air vent screw hole. Reinstall the air vent screw.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure
that wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
Storage
Lower the saddle to its lowest position when not in use.
