QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 22 P/N 5900263 — Rev. B1 — September 2021
Liquid Thread Sealant or Thread Seal Tape?
We have found that much QuickJack criticism or warranty-related incidences were caused by
Hydraulic Fluid contamination, with evidence of Thread Seal Tape particles inside the Power Unit
components and the Reservoir.
In an attempt to prevent this contamination, we have begun using a Liquid Thread Sealant in lieu of
Thread Seal Tape. If you want to use Thread Seal Tape over Liquid Thread Sealant, by all means, use
what you are most familiar with. However, you
must carefully read and use the following instructions.
Important Notes:
• Thread Seal Tape
must wrap Clockwise around the threads for it to work properly. Some
customers incorrectly wrap it backward, resulting in the Tape unwinding as the Fitting is being
tightened.
• Use only 2-3 turns of Thread Seal Tape.
Never allow Thread Seal Tape to overlap the
end of the NPT Fitting threads
; the overlapping Tape will separate during tightening and
enter the Hydraulic System and contaminate the Power Unit components and the Reservoir,
resulting in equipment malfunction.
• As a general rule, Fittings with tapered threads should
not be assembled to a specific torque, as
the amount of torque varies with thread quality, Port and Fitting materials, sealant used, and other
factors.
• When installing the QuickJack Hose Fittings, hand-tighten the Fittings together, then 2-3 turns after
using a Wrench. Once done,
make sure to check all Hydraulic Hoses and Fitting
connections
before raising a Vehicle .
