Lubrication is critical to jacks, since they support heavy loads. Any restriction due to dirt or rust can
cause either slow jack movement, or extremely rapid jerks, causing damage to the internal
components. To keep the jack well lubricated, carry out the following steps.
1. Lubricate the linkages, the saddle and pump mechanism with light oil.
