      If your Craftsman Automobile Accessories jack is bleeding off after lifting, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, make sure that the release valve is completely and tightly closed. If the issue persists, it might indicate a hydraulic unit malfunction, in which case you should replace the power unit assembly.

      If you're experiencing poor lift performance with your Craftsman Automobile Accessories jack, start by checking the fluid level and ensuring it's at the proper level. Also, there might be air trapped in the system. To resolve this, with the ram fully retracted, open the release valve and remove the oil filler screw, then pump the handle several times to expel any trapped air. Finally, re-install the oil filler screw.

      If your Craftsman Automobile Accessories jack won't lower after unloading, it might be because the oil reservoir is overfilled. Try draining the fluid to the proper level. Another potential cause is binding linkages; in this case, clean and lubricate the moving parts.
