Install the Hydraulic Fittings on the Power Unit
Before you can connect your Power Unit to the Long Hydraulic Hoses, you first need to install Quick-
Connect Fittings to the Hydraulic Ports on the Power Unit.
Tip QuickJack recommends installing the bottom Power Unit Quick-Connect Fitting first,
then the top one. It is difficult to access the bottom fitting if you install the top fitting
first.
Tip O-ring Boss (ORB) fittings benefit from 1-2 drops of hydraulic fluid applied to the O-ring
prior to installing the fitting. The fluid serves to lubricate the O-ring and helps prevent
damage while tightening the fitting.
You usually only have to install these Fittings once. To move your QuickJack later, just disconnect the
Power Unit from the Long Hydraulic Hoses using the Quick-Connect Fittings.
To connect Quick-Connect Fittings to the Power Unit Hydraulic Ports
:
1. On the Power Unit, remove the plastic Shipping Plugs from the two Hydraulic Ports.
2. Retrieve a Quick-Connect Fitting (5550413) from the Parts Bag, place a few drops of hydraulic fluid
on the O-ring and hand tighten the ORB end into one of the two Hydraulic Ports on the front of the
Power Unit; do the same for the second Quick-Connect Fitting on the Power Unit.
NOTICE The ORB end can be hand-tightened in place
. Use a wrench for an additional
half turn to ensure it is snug. Do not use Thread Sealant on the O-ring threads.
Find a Location for the Power Unit and Install the Handle
Based on the length of the included Hydraulic Hoses, the Power Unit can be about 10 to 12 feet
(3-3.5m) away from your QuickJack Frames and out of the way of the Vehicles you will be working
on.
Note
: Some Power Units come with a carrier and handle, some with just a handle.
⚠
CAUTION Do not drive vehicles on the Hydraulic Hoses; this damages the hoses, making it
more likely that they will leak.
⚠
WARNING Risk of explosion . The QuickJack Power Unit has arcing or sparking parts that
should not be exposed to flammable vapors. The Power Unit should be located at
least 460 mm (18 inches) above the floor.
