QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 8 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J3 — Oct. 2019
Components
QuickJack components include:
• Two QuickJack Frames. The Frames, working together, raise and lower Vehicles.
The two Frames are
not interchangeable. The Lock Bars, described below, must be on the
outside when you orient the Frames.
Your QuickJack has a left Frame and a right Frame. If you put your QuickJack Frames next to each
other with both Lock Bars on the outside and the end with the sticker away from you, then the
Frame on the left is the “left” Frame and the Frame on the right is the “right” Frame.
These are the orientations noted on the boxes the QuickJack Frames are shipped in and they are
also shown in the drawing in Unpacking.
• Eight rubber Lift Blocks. Four are medium height (2 inches) and four are tall (3 inches high).
The Lift Blocks can be placed in different locations in the Receiver Trays, allowing you to hit the
factory-recommended Lifting Points on a wide variety of Vehicles. Always use Lift Blocks; do not
raise a Vehicle on just the QuickJack Frames.
Note: You can stack one medium and one tall block together, but not more than that.
If you have a Vehicle with a unibody/pinch-weld frame, QuickJack recommends ordering optional
Pinch-Weld Blocks, available on the QuickJack website. If you have an SUV or truck, there
is an SUV and Light Truck Adapter available for these Vehicles, also on the QuickJack website.
• One Power Unit (includes Pendant Control). Provides power to the QuickJack Frames. There
are four Power Units available: 110 VAC, 220/240 VAC, 12 VDC, and CE-approved 12 VDC. Note
that the Hydraulic Fluid reservoir of your Power Unit is shipped
without Hydraulic Fluid; you must
fill it with approved fluid
before using your QuickJack.
• Two Short Hydraulic Hoses. Connect on one end to the Hydraulic Cylinder on each Frame
and on the other end to one of the Long Hydraulic Hoses. Note that the Short Hydraulic Hoses
must be routed under the bottom of the Frame, never over the Frame.
• Two Long Hydraulic Hoses. Connect on one end to the Power Unit and on the other end to
one of the Short Hydraulic Hoses.
Tip To move your QuickJack components: disconnect the Long Hydraulic Hoses either
at the Power Unit or at the Short Hydraulic Hoses. This is easier than trying to move
the QuickJack with all components connected.
• Assembly Kit. Holds components used during setup. Refer to QuickJack Assembly Kit for
a list of all components in the Assembly Kit.
• Two Frame Positioning Handles. Used to easily move the QuickJack Frames, usually to
position the Frames under the Vehicle’s factory-recommended Lifting Points.
• Lock Bars. The two Lock Bars, one on each QuickJack Frame, hold the Frames in position when
they are raised—at either the First Locking Position or the Top Locking Position.
Only leave the QuickJack either fully lowered or engaged on one of the two locking positions.
Before using the QuickJack, check to make sure both Lock Bars are moving freely and are in their
tracks. If the Lock Bars get stuck in an up position or they come out of their tracks, the QuickJack
will not work correctly, which is a safety hazard.
