Frequently Asked Questions - ABJ5T Perel

How to bleed air from the hydraulic system?

Turn the release valve one turn to the left, lower the saddle completely, then pump the lever quickly 6 to 8 times. Close the oil reservoir after bleeding.

Which oil to use for the jack?

Use SAE 10 hydraulic oil. Do not use other oils as this could damage the internal system.

How to lower the jack?

Remove the lever, then turn the release valve to the left with the end of the lever. For quick lowering, first slightly lift the load with jack stands.

What to do if the jack does not lift the load?

Check that the release valve is tightly closed. Bleed the air from the hydraulic system. If the problem persists, check the oil level and clean the valve.

How to maintain the jack?

Keep the jack clean and lubricated. Drain the oil once a year. Regularly check the oil level and cleanliness of the release valve.

What is the minimum and maximum height of the jack?

Minimum height: 197 mm. Maximum height: 382 mm (including the 60 mm extension screw).

Can the jack be used without jack stands?

No, once the vehicle is lifted, it must be immediately supported by jack stands of sufficient capacity. Never work under a load supported only by the jack.

How to assemble the lever?

Insert the upper part of the lever into the central part until the spring clicks. Do the same with the lower part. Then insert the lower part into the lever socket on the jack.

What to do if the jack does not lower?

First lift the load with another jack. Check the oil level (too much oil can cause blockage). Clean the release valve if obstructed. Bleed the air from the system.

What is the load capacity of the jack?

The rated capacity is 5000 kg (5 tons). Never exceed this load to avoid damage and accident risk.

2. Safety Instructions

Read and understand this manual and all safety signs before using this appliance.

Year of actual construction.

Minimum height + maximum height.

Basic operation: open/close.

This device is for lifting purposes only. Once the vehicle is lifted to the desired height it must be supported by a pair of jack stands with the appropriate rating. Never work under or near a load that is only supported by this device. Do not use the jack for continuous support e.g. to level a trailer, camper, building structure... or to move a vehicle.

Always chock wheels that are in contact with the floor in both directions.

WARNING - It is not allowed to work under the raised load unless it is secured by a suitable means.

ABJxT

- Only use the jack on a flat and steady surface that is capable of supporting the weight of the jack and its load. Never exceed the indicated load limit.

- Inspect the device for damage before each use. Do not use when damage (broken, bent, cracked parts) is noticed. Contact your local dealer for spare parts. Only use original spare part. When the jack was subjected to a shock load, stop using it and contact your local dealer for inspection.

- Only use the jack on vehicles of which the lift points on frame and/or underbody are compatible with the saddle of the jack. Check the user manual that came with the vehicle to determine location and type of lift points. Incompatibility may cause structural damage to vehicle and/or jack.

- Do not attempt to move the vehicle and never enter or climb on the vehicle while it is supported by the jack.

- Make sure the area under the vehicle is clear before lowering.

- All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons. Damage caused by user modifications to the device is not covered by the warranty.

5. Installation

WARNING

Always comply with the safety instructions.

Before Use

- It is possible that during shipment of the device air gets trapped inside the hydraulic system causing malfunctioning. Turn the release valve 1 turn counterclockwise and push the saddle all the way down.

Note:

- The open end of the lower handlebar can be used to turn the release valve.

• Place the pump body upright and remove the oil filler plug.
• Mount the handle: insert the upper handlebar in the middle handlebar and make sure the spring snaps into place. Insert the lower handlebar into the middle handlebar and again make sure the spring snaps into place. The handle is now ready.
• Insert the lower handlebar end of the handle into the socket.
• Quickly pump 6-8 full strokes to remove air in the system.
• Close the oil filler plug.

Note:

- The overload valve is calibrated to the maximum load. Never adjust this overload valve.

To Raise a Vehicle

• Turn the release valve clockwise until it is closed tightly.
• Place the vehicle in gear (or in Park (P) for vehicles with automatic transmission) and chock the wheels that remain in contact with the floor in both directions.
• Locate the lift points of the vehicle (refer to the vehicles' owner's manual) and make sure they are compatible with the saddle of the jack. Do not use the jack if saddle and lift points are not compatible to avoid structural damage to vehicle and/or jack.

Note:

○ Always centre the load on the saddle to avoid damage to the jack.

- Insert the handle into the socket and pump until the jack is almost touching the lift point. Verify that the saddle is centred and good contact with the lift point is assured.

Note:

- The saddle can be raised about 6 cm by turning it counterclockwise.

ABJxT

• Continue pumping handle until the vehicle is raised to the desired height. Immediately support the vehicle by a pair of jack stands (not incl.). Never work under a vehicle that is only supported by the floor jack!
• When jack stands are in place, lower the floor jack slightly (see instructions below) until the vehicle rests on the jack stands.

To Lower the Vehicle

- Remove the handle from the socket and use the open end of the lower handlebar to turn the release valve slowly counterclockwise.

Note:

When the vehicle is on jack stands, first lift the vehicle until the jack stands can easily be removed.

- For storage, close the release valve by turning it completely clockwise.

6. Care and Maintenance

• The jack shall be repaired and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Maintenance and repair shall only be carried out by a qualified person.
• When the jack is not in use or for storage, lower the saddle completely to prevent corrosion. Always store the floor jack in an upright position to avoid oil leakage.
• Keep the jack clean and keep all moving parts well lubricated. Remove excessive grease and dirt from the outside.
• To check oil level, lower the saddle completely and open the oil filler plug. Oil level must be just below the filler hole. Add oil when oil level is too low. Recommended oil: SAE 10.
• The oil should be replaced once a year. To replace the oil, open the oil filler plug and remove the release valve completely by turning it counterclockwise. Be careful not to contaminate the inside of the hydraulic system! Remove and refill via the oil filler plug hole.

Note:

Use of improper oil or other fluid can cause serious damage to the internal parts of the jack!
- Take appropriate safety measurements when handling oil.
- Dispose of used oil in accordance with local regulations.

• Close the filler hole with the oil filler plug.
  • Re-install and close the release valve completely.
• Pull the saddle all the way up than open the release valve to lower the saddle. Force the saddle to lower faster. Close the release valve and repeat this procedure a couple of times to ensure proper oil distribution.

7. Troubleshooting

Jack will not raise/lift load/lift load to full height Jack lowers under load

• The weight of the load is higher than the max. indicated load for the jack. Use a suitable jack.
• Release vale is open. Close it tightly by turning it clockwise. Check whether dirt prevents the release valve to be closed completely. Remove the release valve and clean it.
• Inspect oil level and add/replace oil when necessary.
• Remove air from hydraulic system.
• If above steps do not solve the problem, there is something wrong with the hydraulic system itself. Contact your local dealer for service and support.

Jack will not lower

• When there is load on the jack and it will not lower, remove the load by carefully lifting it with a second jack.
• Never apply excessive force (e.g. use a hammer) on the saddle to lower it.
• Check the oil level – too much oil will block the hydraulic system.
• Dirt may block the release valve. Remove and clean it and replace the oil.
• Remove air from hydraulic system.
• Make sure the system is sufficiently greased.

Weak lifting

• This is possibly be caused by dirty oil – replace the oil.
• Close the release valve tightly by turning it clockwise. Check whether dirt prevents the release valve to be closed completely. Remove the release valve and clean it.
• Remove air from hydraulic system.

Unloaded saddle slowly moves up

- Remove air from hydraulic system.
