FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of the Dunlop Scissor Jack?

The Dunlop Scissor Jack has a maximum lifting capacity of 1500 kilograms.

What is the minimum and maximum lifting height?

The minimum lifting height is 26cm, and the maximum lifting height is 38cm.

What material is the jack made of?

Is this jack suitable for all types of vehicles?

It is suitable for vehicles weighing up to 1500kg. Always confirm your vehicle's weight and consult your owner's manual for appropriate jacking points.

How should I store the scissor jack?

Store the jack in a dry place. It is recommended to lower it completely and store it in its original packaging or a protective bag to prevent rust and damage.

Do I need a jack stand in addition to this jack?

For safety, especially when working under a vehicle for extended periods, it is strongly recommended to use a separate jack stand to support the vehicle once it has been lifted.

How do I maintain the jack for longevity?

Clean the jack after use and periodically lubricate the screw mechanism with grease. Inspect for any signs of damage before each use.

Troubleshooting

Jack is difficult to turn or feels stiff.

Ensure the jack is on a level surface and correctly positioned under the jacking point. Clean any debris from the screw mechanism and apply a light lubricant. Check that the vehicle's weight is not exceeding the jack's capacity.

Jack does not lift the vehicle.

Verify that the handle is inserted correctly and being turned in the right direction (usually clockwise). Confirm the jacking point is engaged properly and the vehicle's weight is within the 1500kg limit. Ensure the jack itself is not damaged.

Jack seems unstable during operation.

Immediately stop lifting. Ensure the jack is on a completely flat and solid surface. Check that the vehicle's weight is distributed evenly. Re-evaluate the jack's position relative to the jacking point for optimal stability. Consider using a wheel chock for added safety.
