Sealey 1030CXDK Trolley Jack and Axle Stands

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides instructions for the safe operation and maintenance of the Sealey 1030CXDK trolley jack and axle stands. The most critical safety rule is that the jack is a lifting device only and must never be used to support the load. Always use the provided axle stands in pairs on a hard, level surface (concrete) to support the vehicle before working underneath it. Never use the equipment on tarmacadam as the jack may sink.

Safety Precautions

• Always use axle stands in pairs on a hard, level surface.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the jack (2 tonnes) or the axle stands (1 tonne each).
• Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged and wheels are chocked before lifting.
• Never work under a vehicle supported only by the jack.
• Do not use the jack to move the vehicle.
• Ensure a minimum distance of 0.5m between the vehicle and static objects.

Specifications

• Trolley Jack Capacity: 2 tonnes (2000 kg)
• Jack Lift Range: 130mm to 330mm
• Axle Stand Capacity: 1 tonne each (2 tonnes per pair)
• Axle Stand Height: 275mm to 365mm

Before First Use

Before using the jack, you must purge the hydraulic unit to eliminate air:

1. Locate the handle onto the release valve nut and turn it anti-clockwise to open the valve.
2. Place the handle into the jacking point and pump for 30 to 40 seconds.
3. Close the release valve by turning the nut clockwise.
4. Lubricate moving parts and place a few drops of hydraulic jack oil on the pump piston.

Operation

Jacking the Vehicle

1. Ensure the vehicle is on level, solid ground.
2. Close the release valve (turn clockwise).
3. Position the jack saddle under the manufacturer's recommended lifting point.
4. Pump the handle to raise the vehicle.

Using Axle Stands

1. Ensure the stand legs are fully extended.
2. Adjust the height and insert the locking pin completely through the centre column.
3. Position the stands under the vehicle's recommended points.
4. Slowly lower the vehicle onto the stands, ensuring the jacking points sit in the centre of the saddles.

Lowering the Vehicle

1. Raise the jack slightly to remove the axle stands.
2. Slowly turn the release valve anti-clockwise to lower the vehicle. Control the speed by the amount you turn the handle.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Keep the jack clean and lubricate moving parts regularly with acid-free oil.
• Inspection: Before each use, check for broken, cracked, or loose parts.
• Oil Level: To check the oil, fully lower the jack and remove the filler screw. The level should be at the bottom of the screw hole. Use only hydraulic jack oil; do not use brake fluid.
• Repair: Hydraulic maintenance must only be performed by a qualified person.

Troubleshooting

If the jack fails to lift or hold a load, check for air in the system (purge as described above), low oil levels, or an open release valve. If the jack feels "spongy," it usually indicates air in the system. If the jack will not hold a load, check for dirt on the valve seats or a partially open release valve.
