Quick Guide
The Sealey 2200HL.V4 is a 2-tonne high lift trolley jack designed for automotive lifting. Before use, ensure the jack is in good condition, placed on level, solid ground (preferably concrete), and that the vehicle handbrake is engaged. Always use axle stands to support the vehicle once lifted; never rely solely on the jack.

Safety Instructions
- Capacity: Do not exceed the rated 2-tonne capacity.
- Ground: Use only on level, solid ground. Avoid tarmacadam.
- Vehicle Prep: Engage handbrake, switch off engine, and put transmission in gear or Park.
- Stability: Use wheel chocks and ensure the lifting point is stable and centered on the saddle.
- Support: Always use suitable axle stands under the vehicle before working underneath.
- Prohibitions: Do not use the jack for supporting a load for extended periods, do not move the vehicle while on the jack, and do not allow passengers inside the vehicle.
Assembly
To assemble the handle:
- Loosen the locating bolt on the side of the handle base.
- Push the handle into the socket.
- Re-tighten the locating bolt, ensuring it fits correctly in the groove.
Operation and Maintenance
Operation: The jack features a quick-lift foot pedal and dead man's control. Ensure the release valve is closed before pumping.
Maintenance:
- Cleaning: Keep the jack clean and lubricate moving parts with acid-free oil regularly.
- Oil Level: Check the oil level by pumping the jack to half height, then upending it (with assistance). The oil level should be just below the lower edge of the filling hole. Use only hydraulic jack oil.
- Storage: Store in a safe, dry, childproof area with the jack fully lowered.
- Repairs: Maintenance and repairs should be performed by qualified personnel.
Troubleshooting
If the jack fails to operate correctly, check the following:
- Jack will not lift: Check for overload, low oil, or air in the system. Ensure the release valve is closed.
- Spongy feel: Check oil levels and bleed air from the system.
- Jack will not lower: Lubricate moving parts or check for a bent piston rod.
