Why won't my Performance Tool Jack lift to full height?

  Your Performance Tool Jack might not be lifting to its full height due to several reasons. It could be that the power unit is low on fluid. To fix this, with the jack on a level surface and in the down position, remove the filler plug and add clean hydraulic jack fluid until it reaches the filler level. Another possibility is that the power unit is air bound. To resolve this, open the release valve a minimum of 2 full turns and pump the handle a minimum of 20 full strokes to purge the air from the system. Also, the valve may not be closing completely. To seat the valves: close the release valve, with the jack in the fully lowered position, manually raise the lifting arm as high as possible, then open the release valve and allow the jack to descend to the lowered position.

What to do if the Performance Tool Jack pump feels spongy under load?

  If the pump on your Performance Tool Jack feels spongy under load, it could be due to a few issues. First, the power unit might be low on fluid. To correct this, with the jack on a level surface and in the down position, remove the filler plug and add clean hydraulic jack fluid to the level of the filler. Second, the power unit could be air bound. You can fix this by opening the release valve a minimum of 2 full turns and pumping the handle a minimum of 20 full strokes to purge any air from the system. Finally, the valve may not be closing completely. Try seating the valves by closing the release valve, manually raising the lifting arm as high as possible with the jack in the fully lowered position, and then opening the release valve to let the jack descend.
