Final Checklist Before Operation
Make sure these things have been done before using your QuickJack:
• Review the Setup Checklist to make sure all steps have been performed.
• Make sure the Power Unit is getting power from the power source.
• Check the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir; it must be full of approved Hydraulic Fluid or automatic
transmission fluid.
You can harm the motor by running it without enough fluid.
• Check the Hydraulic System for leaks.
• Make sure both Lock Bars are moving freely and in their tracks; make sure there are no
obstructions in the tracks.
Test the QuickJack
Make a visual check of all components to make sure they are in good working order prior to raising a
Vehicle; do this
every time
you use your QuickJack. Check the Quick-Connect Fittings for wear,
damage, or leakage; do not raise a Vehicle if the Quick-Connect Fittings are damaged or worn—you
must replace them.
Important
: Only raise the QuickJack Frames with a Vehicle on them . The QuickJack
Frames are engineered and designed to support the weight of a Vehicle; they can
occasionally get stuck at full height if there is no Vehicle on them.
⚠
WARNING When raising or lowering a QuickJack, pay attention! A common safety
issue is lack of Operator attention; for example, do not be looking at a smartphone
while raising or lowering the QuickJack. It is your responsibility to pay attention; if
you do not, you could damage the QuickJack or the Vehicle on it and/or injure
people near it.
Refer to Raising the QuickJack Frames for detailed information about raising the QuickJack
Frames and engaging the QuickJack on a locking position.
To test your QuickJack :
1. Place the QuickJack Frames in the desired location with
both Lock Bars on the outside
.
2. Check both Lock Bars and all of the Hydraulic Hoses.
The Lock Bars must be able to move freely along the bottom of their Channels; they must not stay
up in the air when you raise the Frames (if they do, the most likely problem is that the Lock Bar Bolt
is over-tightened). The Hydraulic Hoses must all be connected.
3. Make sure the Power Unit has been set up correctly and is connected to a power source.
The Power Unit fluid reservoir must have 2.1 quarts/2 liters of approved fluid. Use Dexron III,
Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV or comparable.
The fluid level should be approximately .5 inch (12 mm) below the fill hole.
Important : If you do not put enough Hydraulic Fluid in the reservoir, the QuickJack may start to
rise but will slow and then stop when the reservoir is out of fluid. To fix this, lower
the QuickJack Frames back down to the ground and then add additional fluid to
the reservoir. Fill it to approximately .5 inch (12 mm) below the Fill Hole.
4. Check the pressure in the Air Cylinders; they should register from 40 to 50 PSI (2.75 to 3.4 BAR).
Do
not
exceed 50 PSI / 3.4 BAR.
