Checklist
While the thread sealant is curing, select and prepare the setup site for your QuickJack.
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. Refer to the clearances figure on the next page.
• 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 label end of the QuickJack; refer to the figure in
Unpacking
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 open space 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 (3.5N/mm
into the ground or crack the surface under the weight of the Vehicle. Do not use the
QuickJack on slippery or icy surfaces.
⚠
WARNING
• Power in the right place. You will need to have a power source for your Power Unit. If you are
using 110 or 208 - 240 VAC power, the Power Unit must be close enough to the power source for
the cord to reach. Refer to the manufacturer's data tag on the QuickJack to confirm the Power
Unit's Voltage/Current requirements on your specific unit before connecting to electrical power.

Do not set up or use a QuickJack on a surface with a slope greater than 3°, 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.
Connect the Power Unit to a Power Source for more information.
