Troubleshooting
Jack fails to lift or lifts slowly
Check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if low. Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Inspect for any leaks in the hydraulic system. The unit may need to be 'bled' of air; consult the user manual for the correct procedure.
Jack lowers unexpectedly
Verify that the release valve is fully closed. Inspect the hydraulic seals for damage or leaks. Do not exceed the 1.5-tonne weight limit.
Handle feels loose or difficult to operate
Ensure the handle is securely attached to the jack mechanism. Lubricate the handle pivot points and the control knob mechanism.
Control knob is stiff or hard to turn
Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the control knob shaft and mechanism. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing its rotation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: Keep the jack clean and dry when not in use. Periodically check hydraulic fluid levels and top up if necessary (refer to the user manual for specific fluid type and procedure). Lubricate moving parts as recommended. Ensure the rubber contact pad is free from debris to prevent vehicle damage. Store the jack in a dry location, ideally protected from the elements.
