Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift

Ensure the release valve is fully closed. Check the hydraulic fluid level and top up if low. Inspect for any visible leaks.

Jack lowers slowly or unevenly

Check the release valve for proper sealing; ensure it is not partially open. Inspect the hydraulic system for leaks. Bleed the hydraulic system if necessary.

Difficulty moving the jack

Ensure the area is clear of obstructions. Check that the heavy-duty wheels and castors are clean and free to rotate. Lubricate the wheel bearings if needed.
