To set up the Sealey PTBJ2 Bottle Jack, ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface. Place the jack under the manufacturer's recommended lifting point, and ensure the release valve is tightly closed before pumping the handle to lift the vehicle.
If the jack is not lifting, check for air in the hydraulic system. Remove the filler plug and pump the handle several times to purge air. Ensure the release valve is tightly closed before attempting to lift again.
Regularly inspect the jack for oil leaks and ensure all bolts are tight. Keep the jack clean and store it in a dry place. Lubricate moving parts periodically and check the hydraulic fluid level, topping up if necessary.
To lower the vehicle, slowly turn the release valve counterclockwise. Ensure the area is clear and lower the vehicle gradually to avoid damage or injury.
No, the jack should not be used on uneven surfaces as it may lead to instability and pose a safety risk. Always use the jack on a solid, level surface.
Always wear safety gloves and goggles. Ensure the jack is on stable ground and the vehicle is securely lifted. Never place any part of your body under the vehicle without additional support, such as jack stands.
Hydraulic fluid should be checked regularly and changed every 1-2 years depending on usage frequency. Always use the manufacturer's recommended hydraulic oil.
If the handle is difficult to pump, check for obstructions or debris in the mechanism. Lubricate the pivot points and ensure the hydraulic fluid is at the correct level.
Oil leaks may be due to worn seals or overfilling. Inspect the seals for damage and replace them if necessary. Ensure the oil level is correct and not exceeding the fill line.
Minor issues like seal replacements can be repaired. However, significant structural damage or persistent leaks should prompt a replacement to ensure safety and effectiveness.
