Troubleshooting

Check if the valve is closed properly. Ensure the jack is bled correctly. Verify that the vehicle's weight does not exceed the jack's capacity. Check for any oil leaks. If the jack is new, bleed out the air before use.
Jack lifts slowly or loses height.
Bleed the jack following the steps in the setup section. Check for oil leaks. Ensure the oil level is sufficient. Inspect for any damage to the seals.
Jack is hard to pump.
Check for any obstructions in the pump mechanism. Lubricate the moving parts. If the problem persists, the jack might need professional servicing.
