QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 21 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J3 — Oct. 2019
Preparing the Short Hydraulic Hoses
Your QuickJack comes with two Short Hydraulic Hoses:
• Female end. Attach directly to the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting on the Hydraulic Cylinder. You do not
need to add a fitting to this end of the Short Hydraulic Hose.
• Male end. Install a male Quick-Connect Fitting to the male end.
To set up and connect the Short Hydraulic Hoses:
1. Locate both Short Hydraulic Hoses and remove their protective caps.
2. Wrap the threaded fitting on the male end of each Short Hydraulic Hose with Thread Seal Tape.
Only one end of a Short Hydraulic Hose has a male threaded fitting; the other end has a female
fitting that attaches directly to the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting on the Hydraulic Cylinder.
To use Thread Seal Tape: determine what direction you will be turning the Fitting, wrap the
threads with Thread Seal Tape two or three times in the same direction, then attach the Fitting.
The following drawing shows how to apply Thread Seal Tape.
The drawing above show the Fitting being turned clockwise to attach it, so you would also attach
the Thread Seal Tape clockwise.
Important: Always wrap Thread Seal Tape in the same direction as you will be attaching the
Fitting.
If you apply Thread Seal Tape in the wrong direction, it is much more likely to come off as you
attach the Fitting, possibly getting into the Hydraulic Fluid and blocking fluid flow.
