IMPORTANT!

LEASE READ

Only raise your QuickJack Frames

with a Vehicle on them!

The QuickJack is designed and engineered to be used with the weight of a Vehicle on it. You should only raise the QuickJack Frames with the weight of a Vehicle on them, even the very first time you use them. There is simply no reason to raise your QuickJack Frames unless there’s a Vehicle on them.

Why are we telling you to do it this way? Because your QuickJack Frames may occasionally become stuck up in the air if you raise them without the weight of a Vehicle. There is nothing wrong with them if this happens, and the issue can be quickly and easily fixed, it’s just that they are designed and engineered to work with the weight of a Vehicle.

This is not a problem in normal operation, as the Vehicles you want to raise are being held well above the ground by their tires. The problem generally happens when people lower the QuickJack to a completely flat position with the Vehicle’s tires removed.

• While handling a Hydraulic Cylinder or a Hydraulic Hose, also wear gloves. In rare cases, a needlelike stream of hydraulic fluid (even at low pressure) can penetrate fingers, hands, or arms; such a puncture can feel like a bite, electric shock, or a prick. While it may seem like a minor issue, any amount of Hydraulic Fluid injected into the human body is a serious issue. Anyone suffering such a puncture wound should be extent of the injury. Explain the circumstances of the injury to the attending physician, including what kind of Hydraulic Fluid was involved. Do not assume a puncture wound that could have been caused by Hydraulic Fluid is a minor issue; it could be life threatening.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 7 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

Components

QuickJack components include:

• Two QuickJack Frames. The Frames, working together, raise and lower Vehicles.

The two Frames are outside when you orient the Frames.

Your QuickJack has a left Frame and a right Frame. If you put your QuickJack Frames next to each other with both Lock Bars on the outside and the end with the sticker away from you, then the Frame on the left is the “left” Frame and the Frame on the right is the “right” Frame.

These are the orientations noted on the boxes the QuickJack Frames are shipped in and they are also shown in the drawing in Unpacking.

• Eight rubber Lift Blocks. Four are medium height (2 inches) and four are tall (3 inches high). The Lift Blocks can be placed in different locations in the Receiver Trays, allowing you to hit the factory-recommended Lifting Points on a wide variety of Vehicles. Always use Lift Blocks; do not raise a Vehicle on just the QuickJack Frames.

Note: You can stack one medium and one tall block together, but not more than that.

If you have a Vehicle with a unibody/pinch-weld frame, QuickJack recommends ordering optional Pinch-Weld Blocks, available on the QuickJack website. If you have an SUV or truck, there is an SUV and Light Truck Adapter available for these Vehicles, also on the QuickJack website.

• One Power Unit (includes Pendant Control). Provides power to the QuickJack Frames. There are four Power Units available: 110 VAC, 220/240 VAC, 12 VDC, and CE-approved 12 VDC. Note that the Hydraulic Fluid reservoir of your Power Unit is shipped fill it with approved fluid

• Two Short Hydraulic Hoses. Connect on one end to the Hydraulic Cylinder on each Frame and on the other end to one of the Long Hydraulic Hoses. Note that the Short Hydraulic Hoses

must

be routed under the bottom of the Frame, never over the Frame.

• Two Long Hydraulic Hoses. Connect on one end to the Power Unit and on the other end to one of the Short Hydraulic Hoses.

Tip To move your QuickJack components: disconnect the Long Hydraulic Hoses either

at the Power Unit or at the Short Hydraulic Hoses. This is easier than trying to move the QuickJack with all components connected.

• Assembly Kit. Holds components used during setup. Refer to QuickJack Assembly Kit for a list of all components in the Assembly Kit.

• Two Frame Positioning Handles. Used to easily move the QuickJack Frames, usually to position the Frames under the Vehicle’s factory-recommended Lifting Points.

• Lock Bars. The two Lock Bars, one on each QuickJack Frame, hold the Frames in position when they are raised—at either the First Locking Position or the Top Locking Position.

Only leave the QuickJack either fully lowered or engaged on one of the two locking positions.

Before using the QuickJack, check to make sure both Lock Bars are moving freely and are in their tracks. If the Lock Bars get stuck in an up position or they come out of their tracks, the QuickJack will not work correctly, which is a safety hazard.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 8 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

• Hydraulic Cylinder and Air Cylinder. Each QuickJack Frame has one Hydraulic Cylinder and one Air Cylinder. The Hydraulic Cylinder is welded to the Frame and the Air Cylinder is welded to the Hydraulic Cylinder. The Hydraulic Cylinder receives Hydraulic Fluid from the Power Unit, which is used to move the Frames up and down. The Air Cylinder acts like an air spring, which means they assist in lowering the Frames. The Hydraulic Cylinders need Hydraulic Fluid to operate, the Air Cylinders need to be pressurized from 40 to 50 PSI (2.75 to 3.4 BAR); do not exceed 50 PSI.

• Wheels. The two Wheels on the non-sticker end of each QuickJack Frame allow you to easily move the Frame to a different location. Note that the Wheels and the weight of the Frame can leave marks on some floors, so be careful using them.

• Handles. On the sticker end of each QuickJack Frame is an opening that can be used as a Handle when you are moving the Frame. To pick up a Frame by its Handle, with one hand raise the Frame just off the ground under the large yellow sticker, then put the other hand in the Handle and continue to raise the Frame.

⚠ WARNING Be very careful when putting down the Frame; you do not want to crush your

fingers.

The following image shows the main components of a QuickJack.

Not all components shown. The Power Unit that came with your QuickJack may look slightly different, but it will work the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What kinds of Vehicles can I raise using my QuickJack?

Answer: A wide variety. The two main criteria are: is the Vehicle under the weight capacity of your

QuickJack and do the QuickJack’s Lift Blocks hit the Vehicle’s factory-recommended Lifting Points? If the answers are yes, and for most Vehicles the answers are yes, then you can raise the Vehicle.

Q: What if I want to raise a Vehicle that is slightly over the weight capacity of my QuickJack?

A: This is not an intended use of the product. We strongly recommend against trying to raise a Vehicle

that is heavier than the rated capacity of your QuickJack.

Q: How many locking positions does my QuickJack have?

A: Two. We call them the First Locking Position and the Top Locking Position.

Q: Do the QuickJack Frames have a “left” and “right” orientation?

A: Yes. If you put your QuickJack Frames next to each other with both Lock Bars on the outside and

the end with the sticker away from you, then the Frame on the left is the “left” Frame and the Frame on the right is the “right” Frame. These are the orientations noted on the boxes the QuickJack Frames come in and is shown in the drawing in Unpacking.

Q: Can I use my QuickJack outdoors?

A: No. The QuickJack is approved for indoor installation and use only.

Q: If I am going to move my QuickJack, do I have to take it apart?

A: Only a little: disconnect the Long Hydraulic Hoses at the Power Unit or at the Short Hydraulic

Hoses, then move the sections separately. This is easier than trying to move the QuickJack with all of the components connected.

Q: Can I drive on the QuickJack Frames?

A: A Vehicle can be

Q: What happens if I raise a Vehicle on my QuickJack but

A: First, do not do this; it is a safety hazard. Second, because the QuickJack is not in a locked position, the weight of the Vehicle will eventually lower it to the ground. Always follow this rule: if you raise a Vehicle, engage it on a locking position or lower it back to the ground.

Q: How long can I leave a Vehicle raised on my QuickJack?

A: As long as you want,

engaged on one of its two locking positions, gravity holds it in place; a loss of power or leaking Hydraulic Fluid would not cause the QuickJack to lower.

Q: Anything else I should know about my QuickJack?

A: Two things. First, do not raise your QuickJack Frames to full height with no Vehicle on it. QuickJack

Frames are built to hold the weight of a Vehicle; they may get stuck at full rise if there is no weight on them. Always raise your QuickJack Frames with a Vehicle on them. Second, do not try to raise a Vehicle from no net rise (meaning, if you lower the QuickJack Frames to the ground while the Vehicle’s tires are removed). QuickJack needs some space to build up enough force to raise a Vehicle.

Selecting a Site

Keep the following in mind when selecting a site for your QuickJack:

• Enough space. Make sure there is adequate space for the QuickJack and the Vehicles you will be raising.

• Radial Shift. When you raise your QuickJack with a Vehicle on it, the geometry of the Frames moves the Vehicle up at a slight angle, towards the sticker end of the QuickJack; refer to the graphic in Unpacking. Radial shift is always towards the sticker end of the QuickJack, no matter which way the Vehicle is facing.

Radial shift can be anywhere from 11 to 15 inches, depending on QuickJack model.

Make sure to account for radial shift when choosing where to set up and use your QuickJack.

• No overhead obstructions. Make sure your site is free of overhead obstructions such as heaters, building supports, electrical lines, low-hanging lights, and so on. We recommend leaving at least three feet above the top of the Vehicle when raised on the QuickJack.

• Level floor. Inspect the floor and check for defective concrete or asphalt. Make sure the floor is dry, level, and has a minimum compressive strength of 500 psi.

• Power in the right place. You will need to have a power source for your Power Unit. If you are using 110 or 220/240 VAC power, the Power Unit must be close enough to the power source for the cord to reach.

If you are using a 12 VDC power source, the Power Unit must be close enough to the power source for your connection method to reach. For example, if you are powering your 12 VDC Power Unit with a Vehicle Battery, the Power Unit must be within reach of the Jumper Cables attached to the Vehicle’s Battery.

⚠ WARNING Do not set up or use a QuickJack on a surface with 3° of slope or more, as this

could lead to personal injury or death if a raised Vehicle were to fall off the QuickJack. The greater the slope, the more likely the Vehicle will become unbalanced and fall off the QuickJack, which could damage the Vehicle and injure anyone in the area.

Air and Hydraulic Cylinders

Each QuickJack Frame has one Air Cylinder and one Hydraulic Cylinder.

The components of the Air and Hydraulic Cylinders are:

• Air Inflation Valve. Used to add air pressure to the Air Cylinder. Comes with the appropriate valve (also called a Schrader® valve) installed.

• Hydraulic Cylinder Connector. Hydraulic Elbow Fitting attaches here. Use a 6 mm hex key to remove the shipping plug before installing the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting.

• Bleeder Screw. Used to “bleed” the air from the Hydraulic System, if necessary. Refer to

Troubleshooting for more information.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 19 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

Installing the Hydraulic Elbow Fittings

You need to install one Hydraulic Elbow Fitting on each Hydraulic Cylinder.

To install a Hydraulic Elbow Fitting:

1. Remove the shipping plug from the Hydraulic Cylinder Port using a 6 mm hex key.

2. Get an Hydraulic Elbow Fitting from the QuickJack Assembly Kit; screw the O-ring fitting end into the Hydraulic Cylinder Port.

Tip Raising the QuickJack Frame and putting a Lift Block under it or manually raising

the Platform to a locking position can provide a little bit of extra room, making it easier to secure the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting.

Important: Do

5. Perform the same process for the Hydraulic Cylinder on the other QuickJack Frame.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 20 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

Preparing the Short Hydraulic Hoses

Your QuickJack comes with two Short Hydraulic Hoses:

• Female end. Attach directly to the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting on the Hydraulic Cylinder. You do not need to add a fitting to this end of the Short Hydraulic Hose.

• Male end. Install a male Quick-Connect Fitting to the male end.

To set up and connect the Short Hydraulic Hoses:

1. Locate both Short Hydraulic Hoses and remove their protective caps.

2. Wrap the threaded fitting on the male end of each Short Hydraulic Hose with Thread Seal Tape.

Only one end of a Short Hydraulic Hose has a male threaded fitting; the other end has a female fitting that attaches directly to the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting on the Hydraulic Cylinder.

To use Thread Seal Tape: determine what direction you will be turning the Fitting, wrap the threads with Thread Seal Tape two or three times in the same direction, then attach the Fitting.

The following drawing shows how to apply Thread Seal Tape.

The drawing above show the Fitting being turned clockwise to attach it, so you would also attach the Thread Seal Tape clockwise.

Important: Always wrap Thread Seal Tape in the same direction as you will be attaching the

Fitting.

If you apply Thread Seal Tape in the wrong direction, it is much more likely to come off as you attach the Fitting, possibly getting into the Hydraulic Fluid and blocking fluid flow.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 21 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

3. Attach one male Quick-Connect Fitting from the QuickJack Assembly Kit to the male threaded fitting end of the Short Hydraulic Hose; tighten to 23 to 25 lbf-ft / 31 to 34 N-m.

To tighten, use one wrench to hold the Male threaded end in place and a second wrench on the Male Quick-Connect Fitting.

Do the same for the other Short Hydraulic Hose.

4. Connect the female end of the Short Hydraulic Hose to the male connector on the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting; tighten to 23 to 25 lbf-ft / 31 to 34 N-m.

The Hydraulic Elbow Fitting should already be installed on the Hydraulic Cylinder.

About Quick-Connect Fittings

Quick-Connect Fittings let you quickly connect and disconnect the QuickJack’s Hydraulic Hoses. This makes it easier to separate the Hydraulic Hoses from the Power Unit for storage or to get the Power Unit out of the way if the QuickJack Frames are engaged on a Locking Position.

Quick-Connect Fittings have a lock ball that lets you lock a connection.

To lock a connection: Push the Male Quick-Connect Fitting into the Female Quick-Connect Fitting, then turn the Moveable Section so that the Lock Ball is not opposite the Notch.

To unlock and disconnect a connection: Turn the Moveable Section so that the Lock Ball is opposite the Notch, then pull back on the Moveable Section and pull out the Male Quick-Connect Fitting.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 23 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

Routing the Short Hydraulic Hoses

After connecting the Short Hydraulic Hoses to the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting on the Hydraulic Cylinder, make sure to route them

under the side of the QuickJack Frame

⚠ CAUTION If you mistakenly route a Short Hydraulic Hose over the QuickJack Frame, the

QuickJack will not work correctly and you could damage the hose and/or cause the Vehicle on the QuickJack to become unstable.

The following drawing is a side view of a QuickJack with the Short Hydraulic Hose being routed under the QuickJack Frame sections.

Preparing and Connecting the Long Hydraulic Hoses

Your QuickJack comes with two Long Hydraulic Hoses:

• One end attaches to the Short Hydraulic Hose

• The other end attaches to the Power Unit

Both ends require the installation of a female Quick-Connect Fitting.

To prepare and connect your Long Hydraulic Hoses:

1. Locate both Long Hydraulic Hoses and remove their protective caps.

2. Wrap all four threaded ends with Thread Seal Tape.

Wrap the Thread Seal Tape in the same direction you will be turning the fittings.

3. Take all four female Quick-Connect Fittings from the QuickJack Assembly Kit.

4. Connect the female Quick-Connect Fittings to the male threaded connectors on both ends of both Long Hydraulic Hoses; four connections in total.

To tighten, use one wrench to hold the Male connector in place and a second wrench on the Female Quick-Connect Fitting to tighten it; tighten to 10 to 11 lbf-ft / 13 to 15 N-m.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 25 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

Pressurizing the Air Cylinders

The Air Cylinders (one on each QuickJack Frame) need to be pressurized before you can use your QuickJack.

Air Cylinders help push the QuickJack Frames down.

Note that the valve stems on the Air Cylinders are installed at the factory.

Make sure the QuickJack Frames are fully lowered when you pressurize the Air Cylinders.

To pressurize the Air Cylinders:

1. Use a valve tool to release a short hiss of air to check the air inflation valve for proper operation and to drain any accumulated oil.

Holding the valve open releases the air currently in the Air Cylinder.

2. Using a pump or air compressor, inflate the Air Cylinder to from 40 to 50 PSI / 2.75 to 3.4 BAR;

not exceed 50 PSI / 3.4 BAR

The JackPak accessory can also be used to pressurize the Air Cylinders.

3. When the pressure is between 40 and 50 PSI / 2.75 to 3.4 BAR, remove the pump or air compressor.

⚠ WARNING Do not exceed 50 PSI / 3.4 BAR with the QuickJack Frames in the fully lowered

position, as there is a chance of explosion. Make sure to remove power and bleed off air pressure before servicing.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the other Air Cylinder.

⚠ CAUTION If you use the QuickJack

Power Unit.

Approved fluids are any general purpose ISO-32, ISO-46, or ISO-68 Hydraulic Fluid, approved Automatic Transmission Fluids such as Dexron III, Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV, or any synthetic multi-vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid.

The fluid level should be approximately .5 inch (12 mm) below the Fill Hole when the QuickJack is fully lowered. Note that the fluid level drops some after you start using the QuickJack; this is because some fluid stays in the Hydraulic Hoses. If you notice that the fluid level has dropped more than a little, you should fill it back up to half an inch below the Fill Hole (with the Frames on the ground).

Important: Do not completely fill the Fluid Reservoir while there is fluid in the hoses. If you do, the

reservoir could overflow when the fluid in the hoses returns (when you lower the QuickJack Frames).

QuickJack recommends having a couple of rags nearby in case any fluid leaks.

Special QuickJack Warnings

There are two special cases with QuickJack of which you need to be aware:

• Do not raise QuickJack Frames without a Vehicle on them. QuickJack Frames are designed and engineered to be used with the weight of a Vehicle on them. You should only raise the QuickJack Frames with the weight of a Vehicle on them,

. There is simply no reason to raise your QuickJack Frames unless there’s a Vehicle on them.

them

QuickJack Frames can occasionally get stuck in a raised position if you raise them without the weight of a Vehicle. There is nothing wrong with them if this happens, and the issue can be quickly and easily fixed, it’s just that they are designed and engineered to work with the weight of a Vehicle.

• Do not try to raise a load at no net rise. Your QuickJack requires some space between the ground and your Vehicle to build up enough pressure to raise a load. It cannot raise a full load from a completely flat starting position, as shown below.

This is not a problem in normal operation, as the Vehicles you want to raise are being held well above the ground by their tires. The problem happens if you lower the QuickJack to a completely flat position when the Vehicle’s tires are removed.

Only raise your QuickJack Frames with a Vehicle on them

even the very first time you use

⚠ WARNING This image shows the QuickJack Frames at a completely flat position holding a

Vehicle with no tires. Do not do this; the QuickJack will not be able to raise the weight of the Vehicle under these circumstances. If this happens to you, refer to

Positioning the Lift Blocks and Frames

⚠ WARNING Always position the two QuickJack Frames as close to parallel as the Lifting Points

of the Vehicle allow; load stability can be compromised if they are too far off from parallel.

There are two methods for positioning your QuickJack Frames:

• Outside in: Drive the Vehicle to the desired location, position the QuickJack Frames Vehicle on different sides and between the wheels. If the distance between the wheels is not long enough to accommodate the length of the QuickJack Frames, turn the Frames and push one end under the Vehicle first, then the other end. Quick Frame Handles are typically not required. Make

not

sure under the Vehicle when ready.

• Inside out: Position the QuickJack Frames next to each other, drive the Vehicle above the Frames, then use your Quick Frame Handles to pull each Frame out to the desired location under the Vehicle based on the factory-recommended Lifting Points. Make sure QuickJack’s Hydraulic Hoses.

⚠ CAUTION Before positioning QuickJack Frames, make sure they are both fully lowered and

that your working area is clear of obstructions. Also, make sure the Vehicle you will be raising is neither rear or front heavy, which throws off its balance.

To position the QuickJack Frames:

1. Determine the desired method for positioning your QuickJack Frames.

2. Position the Lift Blocks, Pinch-Weld Blocks, or SUV and Light Truck Adapters in the Receiver Trays.

Note: You can stack one Medium and one Tall Lift Block together, but not more than that.

5. Move the QuickJack Frames to the correct locations under the Vehicle based on the factoryrecommended Lifting Points.

⚠ WARNING If you do not know the factory-recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are

raising, consult Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame-Engaging Lifts, supplied with your QuickJack, and SAE Standard J2184, Vehicle Lift Points for Service Garage Lifting, as a resource to assist you in the proper positioning of a Vehicle for raising. If the Vehicle has an additional or uniquely positioned payload, have a qualified person calculate the Vehicle center of gravity or have the Vehicle center of gravity determined at a Vehicle scale.

6. Adjust the Lift Blocks in the Receiver Trays so that they are directly underneath the factory- recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are raising.

The QuickJack Frames and Lift Blocks are now positioned correctly for raising a Vehicle.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 37 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

Raising the QuickJack Frames

QuickJack Frames have two locking positions, called First Locking Position and Top Locking Position. When you raise the QuickJack Frames, always engage (lock) the Frames on either the First Locking Position or the Top Locking Position, or lower them back down to the ground.

⚠ WARNING Do not raise a Vehicle unless the QuickJack Frames are properly positioned under

the Vehicle, the Frames are as close to parallel as possible, all personnel are a sufficient distance away from the Vehicle, both Lock Bars are on the outside, there is open space on all sides and above the Vehicle, and the operator is paying attention (the operator must maintain visual contact with the Vehicle and the surrounding area while raising or lowering the QuickJack Frames).

To raise a Vehicle:

1. Position the Lift Blocks, Pinch-Weld Blocks, or SUV and Light Truck Adapters in the Receiver Trays.

Lowering the Frames from the First Locking Position

Lowering the QuickJack’s Frames from the First Locking Position is different from lowering them from the Top Locking Position, so it is described separately.

⚠ WARNING When lowering QuickJack Frames, make sure the Lock Bar and the Release Cam

stay in their Lock Channel. If they get knocked sideways they can get stuck on the rail of the Lock Channel, which results in the QuickJack not lowering correctly.

To lower QuickJack Frames from the First Locking Position:

1. Press and hold Up on the Pendant Control just until the Release Cam clears the Lock Block, then release Up.

The Release Cam / Lock Bar moves away from the Lock Block towards the Top Locking Position.

Using the 12 VDC Power Unit

The 12 VDC Power Unit lets you power your QuickJack using a Vehicle Battery and a pair of Jumper Cables, giving you the flexibility to use your QuickJack in a wide variety of locations.

The following drawing shows how to connect the 12 VDC Power Unit to a Vehicle Battery.

Not to scale. Not all components shown. The Jumper Cables and the Vehicle Battery are not supplied with the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit.

Important: If your 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit has a Reservoir Cap with a Breather Valve,

close the Breather Valve before transporting the Power Unit. Then make sure to open the Breather Valve before using the Power Unit.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 44 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

The following procedure applies only to the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit; none of the other QuickJack Power Units can be used with a Vehicle Battery.

⚠ WARNING QuickJack recommends wearing safety glasses and removing all jewelry before

connecting the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit to a Vehicle Battery. If metal touches in the wrong place, it could cause a short circuit that results in an exploded battery, ruined Vehicle computer, burned fingers, and/or battery acid burns.

The following procedure assumes one of the Jumper Cable cables is red, the other black.

To connect the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit to a Vehicle Battery:

1. Move the QuickJack Frames to the desired location, find an appropriate location for the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit, and then connect the two using the Hydraulic Hoses.

2. Drive the Vehicle whose Battery you want to use to a suitable location near the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit.

The Jumper Cables need to be able to reach from the Vehicle Battery to the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit.

3. Attach one end of the other end to the Positive terminal on the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit.

⚠ WARNING Make sure to connect Positive to Positive and Negative to Negative. If you

connect Positive to Negative, you will almost certainly cause damage to the electrical system of the Vehicle, including the battery. You could also damage the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit, cause an electrical fire, or cause an explosion.

4. Attach one end of the black Jumper Cable to the Negative terminal on the Vehicle Battery, the other end to the Negative terminal on the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit.

5. Turn on the Vehicle’s engine.

BendPak recommends running the Vehicle’s engine while you use the QuickJack, so you do not drain the Battery.

6. Use the QuickJack.

7. When you are done using the QuickJack, reverse the process: turn off the Vehicle’s engine, remove the Jumper Cables from the Vehicle Battery and the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit, and finally pack up the QuickJack Frames.

Additional Operating Information

Keep the following in mind when operating your QuickJack:

• Use it only on a hard, flat surface. Your QuickJack is portable; if you move it to a new location, make sure the new location has a hard, flat surface.

• Check the weight of a Vehicle before attempting to raise it. Do not guess. Never exceed the rated load capacity of your QuickJack.

• Always use Lift Blocks. Do not raise a load on the QuickJack Frames alone.

• Lift Blocks must be used in the Receiver Trays only. The provided Lift Blocks are use with pinch-weld frames. If you have a Vehicle with a pinch-weld frame, QuickJack recommends ordering optional Pinch-Weld Blocks, available on the QuickJack website.

severe wear.

• Do not rock the Vehicle while it is raised or remove heavy items that could cause excessive weight shift.

• The QuickJack uses a parallelogram lifting system. As the Frames rise, both the mechanical forces of the jack and pressure of the hydraulic system are reduced significantly as the parallel arms elevate through the rise motion.

• When the parallel lifting arms are elevated (the angles increase), hydraulic system pressure is reduced and mechanical load on the structure is minimized.

• Raising the QuickJack to the Top Locking Position and engaging it there is the most secure method of support.

• When the parallel lifting arms are almost horizontal with the floor, both mechanical loading and hydraulic system pressures reach maximum loading.

• Stopping the QuickJack prior to reaching the First Locking Position makes it difficult for the hydraulic system to maintain equal pressure and properly support the load, as the parallel lifting arms are almost horizontal with the ground.

• Do not stop raising the QuickJack Frames until you have passed the First Locking Position.

• Never leave a raised load unless your QuickJack Frames are engaged on a locking position. If you do not want to engage them on a locking position, lower the raised load back down to the ground.

Hydraulic System Warnings

⚠ WARNING Failure to observe these precautions can result in serious personal injury, including,

in rare cases, death.

• All Hydraulic Hose connections must be correctly fastened together before using your QuickJack or applying pressure.

• Do not attempt to connect or disconnect Hydraulic Hoses while equipment is loaded or while the Hydraulic System is under pressure.

• Keep the Quick-Connect Fittings clean and free from debris.

• Use every precaution to guard against dirt entering the Hydraulic System.

• Use caution when using Thread Seal Tape while installing hydraulic fittings.

If using Thread Seal Tape, trim loose ends to prevent tape from entering the Hydraulic System. Make sure no Thread Seal Tape or thread sealant enters the Hydraulic System. Thread Seal Tape or thread sealant in the Hydraulic Fluid will impair fluid flow, possibly causing a system malfunction.

• Keep bare hands away from Hydraulic Fluid; always wear gloves when handling Hydraulic Cylinders and Hydraulic Hoses.

• When dealing with Hydraulic Fluid, observe the safety instructions from the manufacturer.

• Use protective equipment (safety goggles, protective gloves, suitable working clothes, safety boots, and so on) when dealing with the Hydraulic System.

• If Hydraulic Fluid comes into contact with the eyes, gets into the bloodstream, or is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.

About Outdoor Operation

Your QuickJack is approved for indoor installation and use only.

prohibited

Your QuickJack is portable, however, so if you end up taking it outdoors, remember to protect it from the weather (for example, from falling dirt, rain, sleet, and snow).

Here are some additional things to consider if you end up taking your QuickJack outside:

• Extreme environmental conditions must be avoided. The QuickJack warranty does not cover damage from rain, snow, sleet, excessive humidity, corrosive agents, hazardous and/or combustible fibers and flyings, or other contaminants. Keep your QuickJack protected from these environmental conditions at all times.

• The QuickJack lifetime may be reduced. Taking a QuickJack outside means it is subject to a harsher environment: a QuickJack ages more quickly the more it is outside.

• Maintenance and replacement parts costs may increase. The longer you keep your QuickJack outside, even when protected from the weather, the more often it will need maintenance: metal parts rust, plastic parts break down and dry out, hydraulic fluid gets dirty faster, and so on. Keeping your QuickJack outside for long periods is usually going to require extra maintenance and more frequent replacement parts.

Here are some things customers have told us they did with QuickJacks they took outside:

• Move it back inside when done. It may seem obvious, but here it is: when you are done with your QuickJack outside, even if it was protected from the weather, bring it back inside and thoroughly clean it.

• Cover the Power Unit. motor. If that motor gets wet, people could get electrocuted, a fire could start, and almost certainly the motor will short circuit and stop functioning.

QuickJack warranty

protected from all sources of moisture.

• Put up a carport canopy, party tent, or other structure. And then put the QuickJack under the structure. It blocks the sun and the rain, reducing the impact the outside environment has on the QuickJack.

• Use Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. If available, use a GFCI circuit breaker in the service panel (breaker box) to protect the entire circuit.

• Increase the maintenance. If the maintenance instructions say to do something every day, check it twice a day; if they say to do something once a week, check it two times a week; and so on. This will help minimize the impact the outside environment has on your QuickJack.

• Increase the replacement parts. Parts on a QuickJack you take outside are not going to last as long as normal. Be prepared to start ordering replacement parts sooner.

Frames at Full Height with No Load

The issue is that the QuickJack is designed and engineered to work with the weight of a Vehicle on it. If there is no Vehicle on the Frames at full height, the QuickJack can occasionally get stuck.

Methods that have fixed this issue include:

• Use lifting equipment to get weight onto the QuickJack Frames.

• Reduce the hydraulic force that is holding the QuickJack Frames. If you do this, keep a rag handy in case there is some Hydraulic Fluid leakage.

If you are still unable to lower the frames, contact QuickJack Technical Support for assistance.

Vehicle with No Tires Fully Lowered

The issue is that there is too much weight on the QuickJack Frames with no room to get upward force started. You need to reduce the weight by at least half or raise the Vehicle off the QuickJack Frames some different way.

Methods that have fixed this issue include:

• Use a floor jack to raise the Vehicle from four to six inches.

• Using lifting equipment to raise the Vehicle.

If you are still unable to raise your Vehicle, contact QuickJack Technical Support for assistance.

Priming the Pump

Priming the pump pushes Hydraulic Fluid into the system. On rare occasions, there may not be enough Hydraulic Fluid in the system for the pump to produce force. Priming the pump usually resolves this issue.

Note: If your Power Unit does not have a relief valve, you cannot prime it.

To prime the pump:

1. On the Power Unit, remove the relief valve, then place a rag over the cavity and hold it there.

2. Press Up on the Pendant Control for a few seconds (until you feel pressure on the rag).

3. Reinstall the relief valve.

The pump should now have enough Hydraulic Fluid to operate normally.

Bleed the Hydraulic Cylinders

Bleeding the QuickJack Hydraulic Cylinders removes excess air pressure from the Hydraulic System.

The QuickJack Hydraulic Cylinders are generally self-bleeding, but if you notice jerking of the Frames or Frames rising and/or lowering at different speeds, you may want to manually bleed them.

You are going to need a rag to wipe up fluid that leaks, and a 4.5 or 5 mm (3/16 inch) hex key (also called an Allen® key or wrench), to loosen and tighten the Bleeder Screw.

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 50 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J1 — Dec. 2018

⚠

To bleed a Hydraulic Cylinder:

1. Make sure the QuickJack Frame is flat on the ground, then raise the rear end (the end with the wheels on it) straight up.

It may help to brace the end that stays on the ground.

Your QuickJack Frame should now look like the drawing to the right.

CAUTION While raised, the Frame is

unstable. Have one person hold the Frame and the Lock Bar in place while a second person loosens and then tightens the Bleeder Screw, to make sure the Frame does not fall. Keep hands clear of pinch points at all times.

Using one hand, firmly hold the two sections of

the Frame and the Lock Bar in place.

Another option is to engage the QuickJack Frame on the First Locking Position raising it; this provides additional stability.
