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 not designed for
use with pinch-weld frames. If you have a Vehicle with a pinch-weld frame, QuickJack
recommends ordering optional Pinch-Weld Blocks,
• If you purchased the SUV and Light Truck Adapter Kit, the square pieces go rubber-down in the
Receiver Trays on the QuickJack Frames. You can then put the round stackable adapter in the
hole on the top of the square piece either by itself or combined with the extension.
• Visually inspect your QuickJack before each use. Do not use it if you find any damage or
severe wear.
• Do not rock Vehicle while 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.
• 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.
• 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
• All Hydraulic Hose connections must be correctly fastened together before using your QuickJack.
• 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 of debris; use every precaution to guard against
dirt entering the Hydraulic System.
• 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.
