QuickJack Portable Car Jack 24 P/N 5900959 — Rev. H — May 2018
Filling the Power Unit Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir
The Power Unit’s Fluid Reservoir must be filled with Hydraulic Fluid or Automatic Transmission Fluid
before you begin operation of the QuickJack.
When you receive it, the Fluid Reservoir is empty. The Power Unit will not work correctly
until it is filled with approved fluids.
⚠ CAUTION If you use the QuickJack without fluid in the reservoir, you could damage the
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 will drop 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.
QuickJack recommends having a couple of rags nearby in case any fluid leaks.
To fill the Fluid Reservoir:
1. Remove the Reservoir Cap (if it has a Breather Valve they both come off together) and put it down
in a non-contaminated area (you do not want anything in the Fluid Reservoir except clean fluid).
2. Fill the Fluid Reservoir with approximately 2.1 quarts / 2 liters of approved fluids (see above).
Make sure the funnel used to fill the reservoir is clean; if there are contaminants on it, they could
get into the Fluid Reservoir.
3. Replace the Reservoir Cap and hand tighten it firmly.
