Find a Location for the Power Unit
Your Power Unit must be located near the QuickJack Frames.
Note: Some Power Units come with a carrier and handle, some with just a handle. They work the
same.
Based on the combined length of the Short and Long Hydraulic Hoses, your Power Unit should be
about 10 to 12 feet away from your QuickJack Frames and out of the way of the Vehicles you will be
driving on to and off of the QuickJack.
Important: 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 front of 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. Get a Power Unit Quick-Connect Fitting from the QuickJack Assembly Kit, insert the O-ring side
into one of the two hydraulic ports on the front of the Power Unit, then tighten to 11 to 12 lbf-ft /
14 to 16 N-m.
QuickJack recommends connecting the bottom hydraulic port first, then the top one.
Do not use Thread Seal Tape on the O-ring threads.
3. Repeat Step 2 for the second Quick-Connect Fitting on the Power Unit.
