Frequently Asked Questions - RWH180ALU Holzmann

What is the maximum lifting capacity of the Holzmann RWH180ALU?

The maximum lifting capacity is 1800 kg (approximately 3968 lbs).

What is the lift range of this service jack?

The lift range is from 85 mm to 470 mm (3.3 to 18.5 inches).

How do I bleed air from the hydraulic system?

Loosen the fill screw, insert the handle into the handle socket, turn the handle counterclockwise to open the valve, then pump the handle up and down quickly several times. Finally, tighten the fill screw.

What type of oil should I use for the hydraulic system?

Use a high-grade hydraulic oil. Fill until the oil reaches the top of the oil fill hole (about 1/4 inch below the fill port).

How often should I change the hydraulic oil?

Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three years. Drain the old oil by tipping the jack, refill with new oil, and bleed the system.

Can I use this jack to support a vehicle while working under it?

No. The jack is only for lifting. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with appropriately rated jack stands. Never work under a vehicle supported only by this jack.

What should I do if the jack will not lift its full capacity?

Check that the release valve is fully closed, and bleed air from the system. If the problem persists, valves may be blocked; perform a valve flush by lowering the saddle, closing the valve, manually lifting the saddle, then quickly opening the valve to force the saddle down.

How do I attach the handle to the jack?

Assemble the upper and lower handle pieces. Loosen the set screw on the handle socket, insert the assembled handle into the socket, and tighten the set screw.

What safety precautions should I take before lifting a vehicle?

Park on a flat, hard surface. Engage the parking brake, chock the wheels not being lifted, and position the jack only at manufacturer-recommended lifting points. Use ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty gloves.

Where can I find spare parts for this jack?

Spare parts can be ordered from your HOLZMANN reseller or directly through the service center. Use original parts to maintain warranty. Refer to the spare parts list and exploded diagram in the manual.

11 ASSEMBLY

11.1 Attaching the Handle

1. Fasten the Upper Handle to the Lower Handle.
2. Loosen the Set Screw and insert the assembled Handle into the Handle Socket.
3. Tighten the Set Screw.

11.2 Bleeding

1. Loosen the Fill Screw (Fig. 1).
2. Insert the assembled Handle into the Handle Socket to operate the Release Valve.
3. Turn the Handle counterclockwise to open valve.
4. Pump the Handle up and down quickly for several times to purge the air from the system.
5. Tighten the Fill Screw (Fig. 1).

11.3 Adding Oil (RWH125ALU/RWH180ALU)

11.5 Lifting

WARNING:

1. Park vehicle on a flat, level, solid, surface safely away from oncoming traffic. Turn off the vehicle's engine. Place the vehicle's transmission in "PARK" (if automatic) or in its lowest gear (if manual). Set the vehicle's emergency brake. Then, chock the wheels that are not being lifted.
2. Turn the Handle counterclockwise to lower the Jack. Once the Jack is fully lowered, turn the Handle firmly clockwise to close it.
3. Carefully position the Saddle of the Jack (Fig. 1) under the vehicle manufacturer's recommended lifting point.(See vehicle manufacturer's owner's manual for location of frame lifting point when lifting only one wheel and frame lifting points when lifting the entire front or rear end of the vehicle.)
4. Pump the Handle until the top of the Jack's Saddle has nearly reached the vehicle lifting point.

Note: The Jack should be positioned at 90° to the vehicle's lifting point to ensure the Jack's Saddle and vehicle lifting point are in alignment. If not, reposition the Jack before lifting the vehicle.

1. To lift the vehicle, pump the Handle of the Jack. Use smooth, full strokes for best results.

2. Once the vehicle is raised, slide a jack stand of appropriate capacity (not included) under the proper lifting point referred to in the vehicle owner's manual. Always use two jack stands, position them at the same point on each side of the vehicle.

WARNING:

The rated capacity of jack stands is per pair, not the individual capacities combined unless specifically noted on the product by the jack stand manufacturer. Do not exceed rated jack stand capacity. Ensure that the vehicle support points are fully captured between the outer lugs of both jack stands. Use a matched pair of jack stands per vehicle to support one end only. Use 1 pair per vehicle only. Failure to do so may result in sudden loss of load, which may cause personal injury and/or property damage.

1. Center the vehicle's lifting point(s) on the saddle of the jack stand(s). Set the jack stand(s) according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure that they lock securely into position. Note: Always set both Jack Stands at the same height.
2. Slowly turn the Handle counterclockwise to lower the vehicle onto the saddle(s) of the jack stand(s). Then, turn the Handle firmly clockwise to close it

WARNING

When working under the vehicle, this must always be secured with safety stands against unintentional lowering!

11.6 Lowering

1. Carefully remove all tools, parts, etc. from under the vehicle.
2. Position the Saddle under the lifting point. Turn the Handle firmly clockwise and raise load high enough to clear the jack stands, then carefully remove jack stands.
3. Slowly turn the Handle counterclockwise (never more than 1/2 full turn) to lower the vehicle onto the ground.
4. Lower the Jack completely. Then, store in a safe, dry location out of reach of children.

12 MAINTENANCES AND SERVICING

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

To prevent serious injury from tool failure: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

1.1.1 Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Jack. Check for broken, cracked, or bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the proper operation of the product. If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.

11.2 Before each use, thoroughly test the Jack for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Jack appears not to be working properly, follow Bleeding instructions on page 2.

11.3 Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three years:

1. With the Jack fully lowered, remove the Oil Filler Plug on the side of the Housing.
2. Tip the Jack to allow the old hydraulic oil to drain out of the Housing completely, and dispose of the old hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.
3. With the Jack upright, completely fill the Housing with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until the oil is 1/4" below the fill hole.
4. Open the valve by turning the Handle counterclockwise and pump the Handle to bleed air from the system.
5. Recheck oil level and re-fill as needed.
6. Reinstall the Oil Filler Plug.

11.4 Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Then, store the Jack in a safe, dry location out of reach of children and other non-authorized people.

13 TROUBLESHOOTING

To Prevent Serious Injury:

Use caution when troubleshooting a malfunctioning jack. Stay well clear of the supported load. Completely resolve all problems before use. If the solutions presented in the Troubleshooting guide do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician inspect and repair the jack before use.

After the jack is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising and lowering it fully, checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING THE JACK TO OPERATION.

DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR MALFUNCTIONING JACK!

POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS						PROBABLE SOLUTION(Make certain that the jack is not supporting a load while attempting a solution.)
Jack will not lift at its weight capacity	Saddle lowers under load	Pump stroke feels spongy	Saddle will not lift all the way	Handle moves up when jack is under load	Oil leaking from filler plug
X	X					Check that Release Valve is fully closed.Bleed air from the system.
X	X			X		Valves may be blocked and may not close fully. To flush the valves:1. Lower the Saddle and securely close the Release Valve.2. Manually lift the saddle several inches.3. Open the release valve and force the saddle down as quickly as possible.
X		X	X			Jack may be low on oil. Check the oil level and refill if needed.
						Jack may require bleeding - see instructions on page 2.
					X	Unit may have too much hydraulic oil inside, check fluid level and adjust if needed.
