FAQs

Can I use this jack on soft ground like grass?

No. Never use the hydraulic jack on soft ground. Only operate on a hard, level surface to prevent the jack from tipping or sinking.

Does the jack come with a carry case?

No, this model is a heavy-duty shop tool designed for garage use and does not include a carry case.

How often should I check the hydraulic oil?

Check the oil level periodically, especially if you notice the jack struggling to reach maximum height. Only use high-quality hydraulic jack oil.

Is it safe to leave the car on the jack for long periods?

Absolutely not. The jack is for lifting only. Always support the vehicle with certified jack stands before crawling underneath.

What is the maximum height this jack can reach?

The maximum lifting height for this model is 535mm.

Can I use this for heavy trucks?

This jack is rated for 3 tonnes. Ensure the vehicle weight does not exceed this capacity, and verify the weight distribution of the vehicle before lifting.

Troubleshooting

The jack feels 'spongy' or won't reach full height

There is likely air trapped in the hydraulic system. Open the release valve, remove the oil filler plug, and pump the handle rapidly 10-15 times to bleed the air, then replace the plug.

The handle rises by itself during lifting

This is usually caused by air in the system or a worn check valve. Bleed the system as instructed in the maintenance section.

The jack fails to hold the load

The release valve may not be fully closed or there is debris in the valve seat. Ensure the handle is turned firmly to the closed position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rapid lift dual-piston mechanism saves time and physical effort
  • Versatile height range of 98mm to 535mm accommodates a wide range of vehicles
  • Heavy-gauge steel construction provides excellent stability and longevity
  • Rubber pad protects vehicle chassis from damage during operation
  • Smooth descent control improves operator confidence

Cons

  • High-strength steel construction results in a heavy unit that is difficult to carry long distances
  • Requires periodic maintenance of the hydraulic fluid level to ensure peak performance
  • The low-profile design is specialized and may not be necessary for high-clearance off-road vehicles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before initial use, ensure the jack is placed on a flat, level, and solid surface. It is recommended to perform a 'purge' of the hydraulic system by opening the release valve and pumping the handle several times to remove trapped air from the cylinder.

Compatibility: This jack is compatible with most standard vehicle chassis. Always identify the manufacturer-recommended lifting points before engaging the lift. Never use the jack on asphalt or soft surfaces, as it may sink under load.

Care: Regularly inspect the jack for hydraulic fluid leaks around the seals. Keep the ram clean and free of debris. When storing, lower the jack completely to release pressure from the internal seals and prevent corrosion on the piston rod.
