QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 47 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J3 — Oct. 2019
• If you purchased the SUV and Light Truck Adapter Kit, the square pieces go rubber-down in the
Receiver Trays on the QuickJack Frames. You can then put the round stackable adapter in the
hole on the top of the square piece either by itself or combined with the extension.
•
Visually inspect your QuickJack before each use . Do not use it if you find any damage or
severe wear.
• Do not rock the Vehicle while it is raised or remove heavy items that could cause excessive weight
shift.
• The QuickJack uses a parallelogram lifting system. As the Frames rise, both the mechanical forces
of the jack and pressure of the hydraulic system are reduced significantly as the parallel arms
elevate through the rise motion.
• When the parallel lifting arms are elevated (the angles increase), hydraulic system pressure is
reduced and mechanical load on the structure is minimized.
• Raising the QuickJack to the Top Locking Position and engaging it there is the most secure
method of support.
• When the parallel lifting arms are almost horizontal with the floor, both mechanical loading and
hydraulic system pressures reach maximum loading.
• Stopping the QuickJack prior to reaching the First Locking Position makes it difficult for the
hydraulic system to maintain equal pressure and properly support the load, as the parallel lifting
arms are almost horizontal with the ground.
• Do not stop raising the QuickJack Frames until you have passed the First Locking Position.
• Never leave a raised load unless your QuickJack Frames are engaged on a locking position. If you
do not want to engage them on a locking position, lower the raised load back down to the ground.
Hydraulic System Warnings
⚠ WARNING Failure to observe these precautions can result in serious personal injury, including,
in rare cases, death.
• All Hydraulic Hose connections must be correctly fastened together before using your QuickJack
or applying pressure.
• Do not attempt to connect or disconnect Hydraulic Hoses while equipment is loaded or while the
Hydraulic System is under pressure.
• Keep the Quick-Connect Fittings clean and free from debris.
• Use every precaution to guard against dirt entering the Hydraulic System.
• Use caution when using Thread Seal Tape while installing hydraulic fittings.
If using Thread Seal Tape, trim loose ends to prevent tape from entering the Hydraulic System.
Make sure no Thread Seal Tape or thread sealant enters the Hydraulic System. Thread Seal Tape
or thread sealant in the Hydraulic Fluid will impair fluid flow, possibly causing a system malfunction.
• Keep bare hands away from Hydraulic Fluid; always wear gloves when handling Hydraulic
Cylinders and Hydraulic Hoses.
• When dealing with Hydraulic Fluid, observe the safety instructions from the manufacturer.
• Use protective equipment (safety goggles, protective gloves, suitable working clothes, safety
boots, and so on) when dealing with the Hydraulic System.
• If Hydraulic Fluid comes into contact with the eyes, gets into the bloodstream, or is swallowed,
seek immediate medical attention.
