QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 39 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J3 — Oct. 2019
Raising the QuickJack Frames
QuickJack Frames have two locking positions, called First Locking Position and Top Locking Position.
When you raise the QuickJack Frames, always engage (lock) the Frames on either the First Locking
Position or the Top Locking Position, or lower them back down to the ground.
⚠ WARNING Do not raise a Vehicle unless the QuickJack Frames are properly positioned under
the Vehicle, the Frames are as close to parallel as possible, all personnel are a
sufficient distance away from the Vehicle, both Lock Bars are on the outside, there
is open space on all sides and above the Vehicle, and the operator is paying
attention (the operator must maintain visual contact with the Vehicle and the
surrounding area while raising or lowering the QuickJack Frames).
To raise a Vehicle:
1. Position the Lift Blocks, Pinch-Weld Blocks, or SUV and Light Truck Adapters in the Receiver
Trays.
Note: You can stack one Medium Lift Block on one Tall Lift Block, but
not more than that
.
Do not stack Lift Blocks on Pinch-Weld Blocks or SUV and Light Truck Adapters.
⚠ CAUTION Do not raise any load on the Frames alone;
always
use Lift Blocks, Pinch-Weld
Blocks, or the SUV and Light Truck Adapters in the Receiver Trays.
2. Move the QuickJack Frames to the appropriate locations, based on positioning method.
3. Drive the Vehicle over the Frames if you are using the Inside out method.
Only raise your QuickJack with a Vehicle on it.
4. Move the QuickJack Frames to the correct locations under the Vehicle based on the factory-
recommended Lifting Points.
⚠ WARNING If you do not know the factory-recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are
raising, consult Vehicle Lifting Points for Frame-Engaging Lift and 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 (these documents are available on the
ALI website). If the Vehicle has an additional or uniquely positioned payload, have
a qualified person calculate the Vehicle center of gravity or have the Vehicle center
of gravity determined at a Vehicle scale.
5. Adjust the Lift Blocks in the Receiver Trays so that they are directly underneath the factory-
recommended Lifting Points for the Vehicle you are raising.
6. Check both Lock Bars; raise them up and let them drop.
Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown. Left side shows Lock Bar moving freely in
Lock Channel, right side shows Lock Bar stuck up in air, which
must
be corrected.
