With a maximum weight capacity of 1000kg, it is suitable for a wide range of vehicles, from small cars to larger commercial vehicles. The jack features a hydraulic system that ensures smooth and precise lifting, operated via a foot pedal to keep hands free for positioning. The lifting range is substantial, allowing for versatility in various applications, with a minimum height of 1100mm and a maximum height reaching up to 1900mm.

The construction of the Sealey 1000ETJ is notably durable, with a heavy-duty steel frame designed to withstand rigorous use while maintaining stability and safety. Its base is equipped with four castor wheels, enabling easy maneuverability around the workshop. The swivel feature of the wheels allows for precise positioning under the vehicle, and the locking mechanism ensures the jack remains securely in place during operation.

The cradle, which supports the transmission, is adjustable and includes safety chains to secure the load, minimizing the risk of slippage. The tilt mechanism of the cradle provides forward and backward adjustment, enhancing the alignment process during installation or removal. Overall, the Sealey 1000ETJ Transmission Jack combines resilience, precision, and user-friendly operation, making it an essential tool for any professional automotive workshop aiming to enhance efficiency and safety in transmission handling tasks.

Sealey 1000ETJ Transmission Jack F.A.Q.

How do I properly position the Sealey 1000ETJ Transmission Jack under a vehicle?

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and stabilized. Align the jack's saddle with the transmission's center of mass and adjust the tilt using the jack's control knobs to fit the transmission snugly.

What is the correct procedure for bleeding the hydraulic system of the Sealey 1000ETJ?

To bleed the hydraulic system, remove the oil filler plug, pump the handle to raise the saddle, then lower it to purge air. Repeat until the jack operates smoothly.

How can I troubleshoot if the jack is not lifting properly?

Check for hydraulic fluid leaks, ensure the oil reservoir is full, and inspect the release valve to ensure it is fully closed. Bleed the system to remove any trapped air.

What maintenance steps are necessary for the Sealey 1000ETJ Transmission Jack?

Regularly check and top up hydraulic fluid, inspect and tighten any loose bolts, lubricate moving parts, and store the jack in a dry environment to prevent rust.

How do I safely lower a transmission using the Sealey 1000ETJ?

Slowly turn the release valve counterclockwise to lower the jack at a controlled rate, ensuring the transmission is stable and properly aligned throughout the descent.

What should I do if the jack handle is difficult to pump?

Inspect for obstructions or damage around the handle mechanism, check the hydraulic fluid level, and ensure the release valve is completely closed. Lubricate the pivot points if necessary.

How often should the hydraulic fluid be changed?

Hydraulic fluid should be changed every 12 months or more frequently if the jack is used in a high-demand environment, to maintain optimal performance.

What is the maximum lifting capacity of the Sealey 1000ETJ Transmission Jack?

The Sealey 1000ETJ Transmission Jack has a maximum lifting capacity of 1000 kg, ensuring it is suitable for most light to medium-duty vehicle transmissions.

Can the Sealey 1000ETJ be used for lifting other components besides transmissions?

While primarily designed for transmissions, the jack can be used for other vehicle components as long as the weight does not exceed its capacity and the component can be securely positioned on the saddle.

What safety precautions should be taken when using the Sealey 1000ETJ Transmission Jack?

Always use the jack on a level surface, wear appropriate safety gear, keep clear of the load path, and never exceed the rated capacity. Ensure the vehicle is properly supported with stands.
