Troubleshooting

Jack does not lift or lifts slowly

Check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if low. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Bleed the hydraulic system if necessary following the manufacturer's manual.

Jack lowers unevenly or drifts down

Inspect the release valve for leaks or damage. Ensure the jack is on a level surface. Check for internal hydraulic leaks and contact customer support if the issue persists.

Handle is difficult to pump

Verify that the release valve is fully closed. Ensure the hydraulic system is not overfilled. Check for any obstructions in the pump mechanism.

Saddle does not engage the vehicle quickly

Confirm the quick lift function is engaged correctly. Ensure there is no excessive pressure built up in the system before attempting to engage the saddle.
