Assembly

HANDLE ASSEMBLY

1. Before assembly, remove the transit lock from the handle socket. The transit lock holds the handle socket securely during transportation and is not a part of the jack. FIG. 4
2. Press down the spring lock on handle piece (a) and push handle piece (a) into handle piece (b). Be careful when doing this – risk of trapping/crushing fingers. FIG. 5
3. Fully unscrew the screw in the handle socket and insert the assembled handle into the handle socket. FIG. 6
4. Line up the square hole on the bottom end of the handle with the square spigot inside the handle socket.
5. Secure the handle in place inside the handle socket by tightening the screw in the handle socket.

Operation

1. Close the release valve by turning the handle clockwise as far as it will go.
2. Before lifting, make sure the handbrake is fully applied, the vehicle is in gear, and the wheels are chocked to prevent any movement.
3. Place the jack at a suitable lifting point under the vehicle (see vehicle manual).
4. Ensure the jack saddle is located directly under the chosen jacking point so that the jacking point sits securely in the centre of the saddle.
5. Pump up the jack until the saddle is touching the lifting point. Before raising the load, double-check that the saddle is centred, correctly positioned and has full contact with the jacking point.
6. Continue to raise the load to the required height by pumping the handle.
7. Place axle stands or other safety stands, beneath the load and carefully lower the load until it is resting fully on the stands. Never let the load rest only on the jack.
8. Do not allow any persons, especially children or pets un der or near the load.
9. Open the release valve cautiously by slowly turning the handle anticlockwise.

How it Works

1. When the handle is lifted, the piston draws oil from the reservoir tank into the pump cylinder. Hydraulic pressure holds the valve closed, which keeps the oil in the pump cylinder.
2. When the handle is pressed down, oil is released into the lift cylinder, which forces the piston out.
3. When the piston reaches maximum extension, the overflow valve passes the oil back into the reservoir to prevent an over-extended piston stroke and possible damage to the jack.

Maintainance

Filling

1. Stand the jack on a horizontal surface and lower it fully. Remove the oil fill plug.
2. Fill with oil until it is just under the lower edge of the oil fill hole. Replace the oil fill plug.
3. Bleed the hydraulic system according to the instructions below.

Changing the Oil

1. Open the release valve all the way by turning the handle anticlockwise as far as it will go.
2. Turn the jack upside down on a tray and allow the oil to drain out of the oil fill hole.
3. Fill with new oil through the oil fill hole. Cleanliness is important – do not allow any dirt or foreign matter to get into the oil through the oil fill hole. Fill with oil until it is just under the lower edge of the oil fill hole. Replace the oil fill plug.
4. Bleed the hydraulic system according to the instructions below.

Lubrication

1. Lubricate all moving parts with thin oil or a suitable spray lubricant when necessary.
2. For light duty and infrequent use, lubricate Meec Tools 024393 Low-Body Garage Jack every 6 months. For heavy-duty and frequent/daily use, lubricate every month.

Corrosion Prevention

1. Check the lift and pump pistons on the cylinder Meec Tools 024393 Low-Body Garage Jack unit every two months (more frequently if used in demanding conditions) for signs of rust or corrosion.
2. Raise the saddle as high as it goes and inspect under and behind the lift arm.
3. Remove any rust and spray with WD-40 (or equivalent) or apply a light coat of oil to prevent rusting.
4. When putting the jack into storage, ensure the saddle and pump piston are in their lowest position.
5. Only use high-grade hydraulic oil. Do not use brake fluid, alcohol, glycerin, detergent, motor oil or dirty oil. Use of a non-recommended hydraulic fluid can cause damage to the jack.
