Suggested Use and Care of your
Hydraulic Lift Mechanism

New Chairs

Before putting hyudraulic unit into service, pump unit all the way up and let it all the way down
8 to 10 times to make sure the shaft and seals inside have been properly lubricated.

Occasionally, hydraulic bases are in storage for a few months, causing the oil from the pump
shaft to settle down inside the unit. Pumping it up and down will re-lubricate the shaft and seals.

 

Continuing Preventative Maintenance

• Even though you may use your hydraulic chair on a regular basis, we recommend you
  pump the chair all the way up and let them all the way down 8 to 10 times every 60 days.

  Many stylists work in a restricted up and down range, which prevents the pump shaft
  and seals for always getting the proper lubrication. For this reason, it is necessary to
  pump chairs all the way up and down as recommended, for preventive care.

• When cleaning salon floors, be sure to pull the pump treadle up to lock unit into position
  before moving hydraulic chairs

  If you lift up on the chair top while the pump is not in the locked position, you pull the
  hydraulic shaft up from the pump, allowing air to get into the unit. When the chair is
  placed back in use again, you will find the hydraulic may not stay in the up position.

• If you find that the hydraulic pump will not stay in the up position, pump th chair all the
  way up and keep pumping 3 to 4 strokes while it is up, to bleed the air out ot the unit. Then,
  let the chair all the way down, and again, pump all the way up, then down. Repeat 1 to 2
  more times. Your hydraulic chair should then function properly.
