QuickJack Portable Car Jack 27 P/N 5900959 — Rev. H — May 2018
Test of Proper Setup
Make sure all components are in good working order prior to lifting a Vehicle. Check the Quick-
Connect Fittings for wear or damage; do not raise a load if the Quick-Connect Fittings are damaged or
worn—you must replace them.
Important:
Do not raise the QuickJack Frames above the First Locking Position
with no load
. The QuickJack Frames are designed to support the weight of a
Vehicle; they can get stuck at full height with no load.
To raise a Vehicle to test for proper setup:
1. Place the QuickJack Frames in the desired location with
both Lock Bars on the outside .
2. Position the Lift Blocks in the Receiver Trays for the Vehicle being lifted. Be sure to use the factory-
recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle.
3. Check for tension on the Lock Bar. The Lock Bar must be able to move freely; the Lock Bar nut
must not be overtightened.
4. Make sure the Power Unit has been set up correctly and is connected to a power source.
The Power Unit reservoir must have 2.1 quarts/2 liters of approved fluid. Use Dexron III, Dexron VI,
Mercon V, Mercon LV or comparable.
The fluid level should be approximately .5 inch (12 mm) below the fill hole.
5. Check the air pressure in the Air Cylinders. Both should register from 40 to 50 PSI.
Do
not exceed 50 PSI/3.4 BAR.
6. Test the Power Unit by pressing Up on the Pendant Control for a few seconds.
If the QuickJack Frames do not move, refer to Troubleshooting.
If the Frames go up and the motor appears to be operating properly, continue to press Up to raise
the Frames to just past the
First Locking Position , then press Down for a second or two. The
Lock Bar will lock at the First Locking Position and the Frames will stop moving.
Do not go up to the Top Locking Position with no Vehicle . You may accidentally go up
to full height, and may thus have a problem lowering your Frames from full height with no load.
The two QuickJack Frames may not raise and lower together if there is no load. This is normal
behavior. Refer to Operation for more information about raising and lowering Frames.
7. Check all hose connections for leaks.
If the motor gets hot or sounds irregular, stop and check all electrical connections.
8. If everything appears to be working normally, lower the QuickJack Frames down to the ground
(press Up for a second or two so that the Lock Bar is past the Lock Block, then press Down until
the Frames lower past the Lock Block).
9. Raise and lower the Frames a couple of times to make sure everything is working correctly and to
give you a feel for raising and lowering the QuickJack Frames.
Wait for one minute between raising/lowering cycles.
If you note any irregularities, do not use your QuickJack. Instead, refer to Troubleshooting,
contact your distributor, or call QuickJack at [phone] or [phone].
