Lift Blocks; do not raise a vehicle on the QuickJack Frames alone. Note: One medium and one tall block can be stacked together, but not more than that. If you have a Vehicle with a unibody/pinch-weld frame, QuickJack recommends ordering optional Pinch-Weld Blocks, If you have an SUV or truck, there available on the QuickJack website.
Page 9 • Handles. On the label end of each QuickJack Frame is an opening that can be used as a Handle when moving the Frame. To pick up a Frame by its Handle, with one hand raise the Frame just off the ground, then put the other hand in the Handle and continue to raise the Frame.

Page 13: Frequently Asked Questions
A: Two things. First, do not raise your QuickJack Frames to full height without a 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. Second, do not try to raise a vehicle from a no net rise position (meaning if you lower the QuickJack Frames to the ground while the vehicle’s tires are removed).
Page 14: Setup Checklist
Setup Checklist The following are the steps required to set up your QuickJack. Perform them in the order shown. ☐ 1. SAFETY FIRST! Review the Setup Safety Rules and familiarize yourself with all warning labels in this Setup and Operations Manual.
Page 15: Setup
Support at support@quickjack.com, or call (888) 262-3880 or (805) 933-9970. Your QuickJack is supplied with setup instructions that meet the criteria set by the latest version of the American National Standard “Automotive Lifts – Safety Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation”...
Page 16 • Radial Shift. When raising the 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 Check Parts Locate the Power Unit).
Page 17 For safety purposes, maintaining clearances around and above the frames is required. Do not drive Vehicle on Hydraulic Hoses, Quick-Connects, Power Unit, or QuickJack Frames. Always position the Power Unit and Pendant so that the Operator has an unobstructed view of both Frames while operating the QuickJack.
Page 18 ⚠ WARNING The two QuickJack Frames look similar, but they are different and are not interchangeable. Always line up the Frames parallel to each other as much as the Lifting Points will allow, with the Lock Bars on the outside, as shown in the illustration below.
Page 19 ⚠ CAUTION Be sure to route the Short Hydraulic Hoses under the QuickJack Frames. If they are routed over the Frames, the QuickJack will not work correctly, and the Hoses could be damaged and the vehicle on the QuickJack may become unstable.
Page 20 Avoid severe injury or death from explosion. Maximum air pressure on the DANGER Pneumatic Spring should never exceed 50 psi (3.4 bar) with the QuickJack frames in their fully lowered position. Lock-out power and bleed off air pressure before servicing.
Page 21 ⚠ WARNING Do not exceed 50 psi (3.4 bar) with the QuickJack Frames fully lowered. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the Pneumatic Spring on the remaining Frame. Tip The Hydraulic Cylinder Seals may become dry and stiff during transit, allowing air to leak from the top of the cylinder around the piston rod.
Page 22 For safety purposes, maintaining adequate clearances around and above the Frames is required. Based on the length of the included Hydraulic Hoses, the Power Unit can be 10 to 12 ft. (3 to 3.5m) away from the QuickJack Frames and out of the way of the Vehicles being worked on. Note : Some Power Units come with a carrier and handle, and some with just a handle.
Page 23 Hydraulic Hoses. If the fluid level drops significantly, simply fill the reservoir back up to half an inch below the Fill Port (with the QuickJack frames on the ground). Do not completely fill the Fluid Reservoir while there is fluid in the hoses. This could...
Page 24: Connect The Power Unit To A Power Source
Connect the Power Unit to a Power Source The Power Unit must be located near an appropriate power source. Refer to the manufacturer’s data tag on your QuickJack to confirm the Power Unit’s Voltage/Current requirements for your specific unit before connecting to electrical power.
Page 25 C14 Power Inlet Connector. Due to the wide variety of 220 VAC plug configurations a mating Power Cord is not included with the QuickJack. You must purchase a cord with a mating plug/receptacle configured to operate in your locality. A Type D plug is illustrated below as an example.
Page 26: Quick-Connect Fittings
Applying lubricant to the fittings enhances their ability to form a tight and reliable seal, reducing the risk of leakage and providing smoother engagement and disengagement. QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack P/N 5900263 — Rev. C2 —February 2025...

Page 28 Lift to operate erratically. It may cause one frame to rise faster than the other and may result in noises, shaking, or jerking while raising and lowering. This does not damage the QuickJack or the Hydraulic Cylinders, but it is not the normal smooth operation you should experience.
Page 29 Bleed the QuickJack’s Hydraulic Cylinders Position the two QuickJack Frames next to each other on the ground as shown below, with the Bleed Screws facing up. Connect both long hydraulic hoses between the power unit and the short hydraulic hoses at the frames using the quick connects.
Page 30 The fluid level should be about 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) below the fill port on the Power Unit. Clean any Hydraulic Fluid that may have spilled and dispose of it properly. QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack P/N 5900263 — Rev. C2 —February 2025...
Page 31: Test The Quickjack
Make a visual check of all components to confirm that they are in good working order prior to raising a Vehicle. Perform this important step every time you use your QuickJack. Check the Quick- Connect Fittings for wear, damage, or leaking, and do not raise a Vehicle if they are damaged or worn—they must be replaced.
Page 32 (2.75 to 3.4 bar). Do not exceed 50 psi (3.4 bar). If air is leaking from the top of the Cylinder, refer Troubleshooting Put a Vehicle in place to be lifted. Do not drive over the QuickJack frames and never raise your QuickJack without the weight of a Vehicle.
Page 33 If the Vehicle is not stable, lower it to the ground and check the positioning of the Lift Blocks in the Receiver Trays. If everything appears to be working normally, lower the QuickJack Frames back down to the ground. To lower the vehicle: press the Up button for a couple of seconds, until the Lock Bars move past the Lock Blocks, then press Down until the Lock Bars lower past the Lock Blocks.
Page 34: Operation
Check the area. Check the area around the QuickJack for obstructions; anything that might impact the raising or lowering of the Vehicle. Do not forget to check above the QuickJack. If you find an obstruction, move it out of the way. Do not allow unauthorized people, children, or animals near the QuickJack while it is being used.
Page 35: About Lift Blocks
• Check the Vehicle. Never exceed the QuickJack’s weight rating. Do not allow people inside a Vehicle that is being raised. Make sure the Vehicle is not overbalanced on either end. Only the factory-recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle should be used.
Page 36: Special Quickjack Warnings
• Do not try to raise a load at no net rise. The QuickJack cannot raise a full load from a completely flat starting position, as shown below. The QuickJack requires some space between the ground and the Vehicle to build up enough pressure to raise the load.
Page 37: Positioning The Lift Blocks And Frames
This image above 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 refer to Troubleshooting, visit quickjack.com/support, or send email to...
Page 38 Move the QuickJack Frames to the appropriate locations, based on positioning method. When using the Inside out method, drive the Vehicle above the Frames. Move the QuickJack Frames to the correct locations under the Vehicle based on the factory- recommended Lifting Points.
Page 39: Raising The Quickjack Frames
Drive the Vehicle over the Frames if the Inside out method is being used. Only raise the QuickJack with a Vehicle on it. Move the QuickJack Frames to the correct locations under the Vehicle based on the factory- recommended Lifting Points.
