Troubleshooting
Jack fails to lift or lifts slowly
Check the hydraulic fluid level. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Inspect for any leaks or damage to the hydraulic system.
Jack lowers unexpectedly
Ensure the release valve is fully tightened. Check for any obstructions or damage that might prevent it from holding pressure. Do not use if it continues to lower.
Handle is difficult to operate
Check that the two-piece handle is correctly assembled and locked. Ensure the jack is not overloaded. Clean any debris from the pumping mechanism.
Jack is unstable
Ensure the jack is on a completely level and solid surface. Check that the wheels are free to move and not obstructed. Verify the vehicle is positioned correctly on the saddle.
