FAQs

What is the maximum lifting height of this jack?

The maximum lifting height is 525mm.

What is the minimum height this jack can reach?

The minimum height is 140mm.

Can this jack be used on all vehicles?

It is suitable for vehicles with a gross weight up to 3 tonnes and that have appropriate jacking points. Always confirm with your vehicle's manual.

How often should I check the hydraulic fluid?

It's recommended to check the hydraulic fluid level periodically, especially if you notice a decrease in lifting performance, and top up as needed with the correct fluid type.

Does the jack come with a safety stand?

This product is a trolley jack and does not include safety stands. It is crucial to use separate, rated safety stands for any maintenance performed under a lifted vehicle.

How do I store the jack?

Store the jack in a dry, protected area to prevent corrosion. Ensure it is positioned stably to avoid accidental movement.

Troubleshooting

Jack will not lift

Ensure the release valve is fully closed (turned clockwise). Check the hydraulic fluid level and add if low. Inspect for any leaks in the hydraulic system.

Jack lowers slowly or uncontrollably

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

Jack is unstable

Ensure the jack is on a completely flat, level, and solid surface. Do not use on uneven ground, gravel, or slopes. Verify the vehicle is properly secured with additional safety stands.

Handle is difficult to operate

Check for obstructions or damage to the handle mechanism. Ensure the release valve is fully open when lowering. Lubricate moving parts if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before first use, ensure the jack is on a flat, stable, and level surface. Check that the hydraulic fluid level is adequate (refer to manual if included). Test the lifting and lowering mechanisms without load to ensure smooth operation.

Compatibility: This jack is compatible with most vehicles that have a standard jacking point and a gross vehicle weight not exceeding 3 tonnes (3000 kg). Always consult your vehicle's owner manual to confirm the correct jacking points and weight limits.
