QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 35 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J3 — Oct. 2019
Operation
This section describes how to operate your QuickJack.
This manual must delivered to the owner/user/employer and be kept near the QuickJack.
QuickJack recommends using Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame-Engaging Lifts for proper positioning of
Vehicles on your QuickJack. It shows the factory-recommended Lifting Points for a wide variety of
Vehicles. It is available on the ALI website.
QuickJack also recommends SAE Standard J2184, Vehicle Lift Points for Service Garage Lifting, as a
resource to assist you in the proper positioning of a Vehicle for raising.
⚠ WARNING Make sure to properly position each Vehicle on its Lifting Points. Improper
positioning of a Vehicle could lead to it being unstable and potentially falling off the
QuickJack. This could damage the Vehicle, damage the QuickJack, and potentially
injure anyone nearby.
Safety
Before you raise or lower a Vehicle using your QuickJack:
• Check the QuickJack. Check the QuickJack Frames for any missing, heavily worn, or
damaged parts. Make sure the Lift Blocks are in their Receiver Trays. Do not operate the
QuickJack if you find any issues; instead, stop using it, then visit quickjack.com/support, email
support@quickjack.com, or call (888) 262-3880.
• Check the area. Check the area around the QuickJack for obstructions; anything that might
impact the raising or lowering of the Vehicle. Do not forget to check
above
the QuickJack. If you
find an obstruction, move it out of the way. Do not allow unauthorized people, children, or animals
near the QuickJack while it is being used.
• Check the operators. Make sure everyone who is going to operate the QuickJack has been
trained in its use, has read the labels on the unit, is not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and
has read the manual.
⚠ WARNING
When raising or lowering a QuickJack, the Operator must pay
attention!
A common safety issue is lack of attention; for example, Operators
must
not
be looking at a smartphone.
• Check for safety. Make sure everyone who is going to be walking near the QuickJack is aware
of its presence and takes appropriate safety measures.
When raising a Vehicle, always
leave the QuickJack engaged on a locking position
. When lowering the QuickJack, do
not leave it until it is on the ground.
Do not work under an elevated Vehicle unless properly rated Vehicle Jack Stands are in place
under the factory-recommended Lifting Points.
⚠ 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.
• Check the Vehicle. Never exceed the QuickJack’s weight rating. Do not allow people inside a
Vehicle you are raising. Make sure the Vehicle is not overbalanced on either end. You must use the
factory-recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle. Never raise just one side, one corner, or one
end of a Vehicle.
