Troubleshooting
Jack fails to lift
Check the hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the foot pedal is operating correctly and that the weight load does not exceed the 500kg capacity.
Jack lowers too quickly
Inspect the hydraulic seals for leaks. If leaks are present, professional servicing may be required.
Castors are stiff or do not turn freely
Clean debris from around the castor housings and wheels. Check for any obstructions or damage to the castor mechanism.
