To properly position the Sealey 57M.V3 Scissor Jack, locate the vehicle's jacking points, which are typically marked in the vehicle's manual. Ensure the ground is stable and flat before placing the jack under the jacking point.
The Sealey 57M.V3 Scissor Jack has a maximum weight capacity of 1.5 tons (1500 kg). It is crucial not to exceed this limit to ensure safe operation.
If the jack is not lifting properly, check for obstructions in the screw mechanism and ensure it is well-lubricated. Verify that the jack is positioned correctly under the vehicle, and ensure the weight does not exceed the jack's capacity.
Regularly inspect the jack for signs of wear or damage. Keep the screw and pivot points lubricated with light oil to ensure smooth operation. Store the jack in a dry place to prevent rust.
It is not recommended to use the scissor jack on uneven or unstable ground as it could lead to instability and potential accidents. Always use the jack on a flat, solid surface.
To safely lower the vehicle, slowly turn the jack handle counterclockwise to gradually lower the vehicle. Ensure no one is under the vehicle and keep hands clear of moving parts during this process.
If the handle is difficult to turn, check for any physical obstructions or dirt in the screw mechanism. Apply some lubricant to the screw to ease the turning action.
No, the scissor jack is designed for temporary lifting and should not be used for long-term vehicle support. Always use jack stands for extended periods.
To ensure longevity, regularly clean and lubricate the jack, inspect it for any damage, and store it in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
Before using the jack, ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface, the parking brake is engaged, and the wheels are chocked. Remove any passengers from the vehicle.
