Troubleshooting
Jack is difficult to operate
Ensure the lifting area is clear of obstructions. Check for debris in the ratchet mechanism and clean if necessary. Lubricate moving parts.
Jack does not hold the load
Verify the load is properly seated on the jack's lifting surface. Ensure the ratchet mechanism is fully engaged and in good condition. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity.
Rust or corrosion on the jack
Clean the affected areas with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light coat of oil to protect the metal. Store in a dry environment.
The jack feels unstable
Ensure the jack is placed on a completely flat, solid, and stable surface. Avoid soft ground or uneven terrain. Distribute the load evenly.
