QuickJack Portable Car Jack 30 P/N 5900959 — Rev. H — May 2018
Positioning the Lift Blocks and Frames
⚠ WARNING Always position the two QuickJack Frames as close to parallel as the Lifting Points
of the Vehicle allow; load stability can be compromised if they are too far away from
parallel. Do not drive a Vehicle on the QuickJack Frames; this damages the Frames.
Never lift a Vehicle on the QuickJack Frames;
always use Lift Blocks.
There are two methods for positioning your QuickJack Frames:
• Outside in: Drive the Vehicle to the desired location, position the QuickJack Frames
outside the
Vehicle on different sides and between the wheels. If the distance between the wheels is not long
enough to accommodate the length of the QuickJack Frames, turn the Frames and push one end
under the Vehicle first, then the other end. Quick Frame Handles are typically not required. Make
sure
not to drive on the QuickJack’s Hydraulic Hoses. Slide each Frame to the desired location
under the Vehicle when ready.
Make sure the Lock Bar is on the outside .
• Inside out: Position the QuickJack Frames next to each other, drive the Vehicle over the Frames,
then use your Quick Frame Handles to pull each Frame to the desired location under the Vehicle
based on the factory-recommended Lifting Points. Make sure
not to drive on the QuickJack’s
Hydraulic Hoses.
Make sure the Lock Bar is on the outside .
⚠ CAUTION Before positioning the QuickJack Frames, make sure they are both fully lowered
and that your working area is clear of obstructions. Also make sure the Vehicle you
will be lifting is neither rear or front heavy, which throws off its balance.
To position the QuickJack Frames:
1. Determine the desired method for positioning your QuickJack Frames.
2. Position the Lift Blocks, Pinch-Weld Blocks, or SUV and Light Truck Adapters in the Receiver
Trays.
⚠ CAUTION Do not lift any load on the Frames alone; always use Lift Blocks, Pinch-Weld
Blocks, or the SUV and Light Truck Adapters in the Receiver Trays.
3. Move the QuickJack Frames to the appropriate locations, based on the positioning method you
are using.
4. If you are using the Inside out method, drive the Vehicle over the Frames.
5. Move the QuickJack Frames to the correct locations under the Vehicle based on the factory-
recommended Lifting Points.
⚠ WARNING If you do not know the factory-recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are
lifting, consult Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame-Engaging Lifts, available on the ALI
website (autolift.org/ali-store/) if you don’t already have a copy. If the Vehicle
has an additional or uniquely positioned payload, have a qualified person calculate
the Vehicle center of gravity or have the Vehicle center of gravity determined at a
Vehicle scale.
6. Adjust the Lift Blocks in the Receiver Trays so that they directly underneath the factory-
recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are lifting.
The QuickJack Frames and Lift Blocks are now positioned correctly for raising a Vehicle.
Refer to Raising the Frames for complete raising instructions.
