QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 26 P/N 5900263 — Rev. B1 — September 2021
Find a Location for the Power Unit
Based on the combined length of the included Hydraulic Hoses, the Power Unit can be about 10 to
12 feet away
from your QuickJack Frames and out of the way of the Vehicles you will be working
on.
Note: Some Power Units come with a carrier and handle, some with just a handle. They work the
same.
⚠ CAUTION Do not drive vehicles on the Hydraulic Hoses; this damages the hoses, making it
more likely that they will leak.
⚠ WARNING Risk of explosion . The QuickJack Power Unit has arcing or sparking parts that
should not be exposed to flammable vapors. The Power Unit should be located at
least 460 mm (18 inches) above the floor.
Installing the Hydraulic Fittings on the Power Unit
Before you can connect your Power Unit to the Long Hydraulic Hose, you first need to install Quick-
Connect Fittings to the Hydraulic Ports on the Power Unit.
Tip QuickJack recommends installing the bottom Power Unit Quick-Connect Fitting first,
then the top one. It is difficult to access the bottom Fitting if you install the top Fitting
first.
You usually only have to install these Fittings once. To move your QuickJack later, just disconnect the
Power Unit from the Long Hydraulic Hoses using the Quick-Connect Fittings.
To connect Power Unit Quick-Connect Fittings to Power Unit Hydraulic Ports:
1. On the Power Unit, remove the plastic Shipping Plugs from the two Hydraulic Ports on the front.
2. Take a Quick-Connect Fitting (5550413) from the Parts Bag, insert the ORB end into one of the
two Hydraulic Ports on the front of the Power Unit; do the same for the second Quick-Connect
Fitting on the Power Unit.
NOTICE The ORB end can be hand-tightened in place. Use a wrench for an additional
half of a turn to ensure snugness, if needed.
Do not use Thread Sealant on the O-ring threads.
