FAQs
What is the maximum lifting height of this bottle jack?
The maximum lifting height is 447mm, achieved with the extension screw. The minimum height is 234mm.
Can I use this jack for cars?
While it has a 20-tonne capacity, its minimum height of 234mm might be too high for standard passenger cars. It is primarily designed for heavier vehicles like trucks, buses, and industrial equipment.
What type of hydraulic fluid should I use?
Refer to the product manual for the specific type of hydraulic fluid recommended by Sealey. Using the incorrect fluid can damage the jack.
How do I switch between manual and air-assisted operation?
The jack is designed to operate with either method. For air assist, connect the air supply. For manual operation, simply use the pump handle without an air connection. The transition is seamless based on air supply.
Is a service kit included?
A service kit is not typically included but is readily available for purchase separately to maintain the jack's longevity and performance.
What is the warranty period for this jack?
Please refer to the product documentation or Sealey's official website for the most current warranty information, as this can vary.
How do I bleed air from the hydraulic system?
Refer to the product's user manual for specific instructions on bleeding the hydraulic system. This usually involves opening the release valve and operating the pump handle in a specific sequence.
Troubleshooting
Jack will not lift load
Check that the release valve is fully closed. Ensure the air supply (if used) is connected and functional. Verify the load does not exceed the 20-tonne capacity. Check hydraulic fluid level.
Jack is slow to lift or loses height
Check for hydraulic fluid leaks around seals or fittings. Ensure the release valve is completely closed. Air in the hydraulic system may need bleeding; refer to the user manual. Check the air pressure if using air assist.
Pump handle is difficult to operate
Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Check for any obstructions or damage to the pump mechanism. Clean and lubricate the pump linkage and handle.
Air assist is not engaging
Verify the air hose is securely connected and the air supply is turned on. Check the air inlet for blockages. Ensure the jack's internal air mechanism is functioning correctly; consult the user manual or contact support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level surface capable of supporting the load.
For air-assisted operation, connect a suitable air hose to the air inlet. Ensure your air compressor is set to an appropriate pressure (refer to manual for specific PSI).
Attach the pump handle and rotate it to the desired operating angle.
Position the jack saddle centrally under the designated lifting point of the load.
Compatibility:
Air Source: Requires a standard air compressor with a suitable coupling.

Care:
Regular Inspection: Before each use, inspect the jack for any signs of damage, leaks, or wear.
Cleaning: Wipe down the jack with a clean, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Lubrication: Periodically lubricate moving parts, such as the pump handle mechanism and ram piston threads, as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Storage: Store the jack in a dry environment. Use the integrated pump handle storage to keep it secure when not in use.
Hydraulic Fluid: Monitor hydraulic fluid levels and top up with recommended fluid if necessary. Refer to the product manual for fluid type.
