Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift or lifts slowly

Check the hydraulic fluid level. If low, top up. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Check for any air in the hydraulic system by opening and closing the valve slowly a few times.

Jack lowers unevenly or drifts down

Ensure the release valve is fully tightened. Inspect the seals for leaks. If the problem persists, the hydraulic system may require servicing.

Handle is stiff or difficult to operate

Lubricate the handle pivot points and the control rod. Ensure the control rod is properly aligned with the locking mechanism.

Jack makes unusual noises during operation

This could indicate air in the hydraulic system or low fluid. Check fluid levels and perform a bleed procedure if necessary.
