MAINTENANCE & CARE
GENERAL PROTECTION
Store the Track Jack in an upright position, in a place
where it is protected from the elements, abrasive dust,
and damage.
Use only recommended repair and replacement parts
and materials specied in the Parts List section of this
manual.
Do not use the jack for applications it was not designed
for.
Use the carrying handle to transport the Track Jack from
location to location. Do not carry the Track Jack by
inserting the jack handle in the socket.
CLEANING
Establish a routine to keep the jack as free from dirt as
possible – daily, or at each shift change, for example.
Jacks exposed to rain, sand, or grit-laden air should be
cleaned prior to each use.
Exposed screw threads should be cleaned and re-lubri-
cated as necessary.
Keep the cylinder clean at all times. Keep the piston
retracted when not in use.
Operating lever and load-bearing surfaces should be
free of slippery material or uids.
Keep tool labels and stickers legible.
HYDRAULIC FLUID
The Track Jack holds approximately 28 ounces/820 cc
cubic inches of hydraulic uid in its reservoir.
ADDING FLUID WHEN NEEDED
A jack that is low on hydraulic uid can lift a full load,
but not to the full lift height. As the reservoir begins to
run dry, the lever socket becomes very easy to pump,
and the jack stops lifting. To add oil:
1. Fully retract the plunger.
2. Remove the ll plug.
3. Fill the reservoir with new, clean uid (use ISO#15
Hydraulic Fluid) to a level 1/8 inch below the bot-
tom of the ll plug hole.
ANNUAL FLUID CHANGE
Regardless of usage, the Track Jack hydraulic uid
should be changed annually to ensure proper operation
of the jack. To drain the uid:
1. Thoroughly clean the area around the ll plug.
2. Remove the ll plug and lay the Track Jack on its
back to allow the uid to drain from the ll hole into
an appropriate receptacle.
3. Dispose of the used hydraulic uid in accordance
with Environmental Protection Agency regulations.
4. Make sure dirt or other contaminants do not enter
the reservoir while the ll plug is removed. When
drained, check the uid for contaminants. If the
uid appears gritty or dirty, ush the reservoir with
clean hydraulic uid before relling.
5. Rell the reservoir with the recommended hydraulic
uid. Stand the jack upright, and with the piston
fully retracted, ll the reservoir until the uid level
is 1/8 inch below the bottom of the ll plug.
6. Before returning the jack to service, fully extend the
piston without a load by pumping the pump handle
without the long extension handle. If the uid level
is correct, the pump handle will become almost im-
possible to pump by hand as the piston reaches full
extension. Replace the plug.
Do not overll or underll the reservoir
as this may damage the jack.
DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID OR OTHER
NON-APPROVED SUBSTITUTE FLUIDS.
LIGHTER WEIGHT FLUIDS MAY CAUSE
THE JACK TO FAIL UNDER LOAD.
