QuickJack 5000TL - Testing Procedures

QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 33 P/N 5900263 — Rev. B6 —September 2023
Final Checklist Before Test and Operation
Verify the following has been completed before testing your QuickJack:
• Review the Setup Checklist to verify all steps up to this point are complete.
• Verify the Power Unit is supplied power from the power source.
• Check the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir; it must be full of approved Hydraulic Fluid or automatic
transmission fluid (within ½ in. / 12 mm below the fill port on the Power Unit). You can damage
the motor by running it without enough fluid.
• Check the Hydraulic System for leaks. Verify all Hydraulic Hose connections, Hydraulic Fittings,
and Auxiliary Port Plugs on the Frames and Power Unit are sealed and secure.
• Make sure both Lock Bars are moving freely in their tracks; verify there are no obstructions in the
tracks.
Test the QuickJack
Make a visual check of all components to verify they are in good working order prior to raising a
Vehicle; do this every time you use your QuickJack. Check the Quick-Connect Fittings for wear,
damage, or leaking. Do not raise a Vehicle if the Quick-Connect Fittings are damaged or worn—you
must replace them. Read and understand this entire test procedure before beginning.
⚠ CAUTION Only raise the QuickJack Frames with a Vehicle on them. The QuickJack
Frames are engineered and designed to support the weight of a Vehicle; they can
occasionally get stuck at full height if there is no Vehicle on them.
⚠ WARNING When raising or lowering a QuickJack, pay attention! A common safety
issue is lack of Operator attention; for example, do not look at your smartphone
while raising or lowering the QuickJack. It is your responsibility to pay attention; if
you do not, you could damage the QuickJack or the Vehicle on it and/or injure
people near it.
See Raising the QuickJack Frames for detailed information about raising the QuickJack Frames.
To test your QuickJack:
1. Place the QuickJack Frames in the desired location under the test vehicle with both QuickJack
Lock Bars on the outside.
2. Check both Lock Bars.
The Lock Bars must be able to move freely along the bottom of their Channels; they must not stay
up in the air when you raise the Frames (if they do, the most likely problem is that the Lock Bar Bolt
is over-tightened).
3. Verify all Hydraulic Hoses are connected.
4. Verify the Power Unit has been set up correctly and is connected to a power source.
The fluid level should be approximately .5 inch / 12 mm below the fill port.
Important: If the Hydraulic Fluid reservoir does not have enough fluid, the QuickJack may
begin to rise but will slow and then stop when the reservoir is out of fluid. To correct
this, lower the QuickJack Frames down to the ground and then add additional fluid
to the reservoir. Fill it to approximately .5 inch (12 mm) below the fill opening.
