What to do if my Snap-On Jack will not lift or sustain the rated load?

  Stephen ClarkAug 3, 2025
  If your Snap-On Jack isn't lifting or sustaining its rated load, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the release valve is completely tightened by rotating the handle clockwise until it stops. Then, try pumping the jack. If that doesn't work, air might be trapped in the hydraulic system; follow step 3 on page 6 of this manual to remove the trapped air. Also, ensure that you are using the proper rated capacity jack for the application, as the load may exceed the jack's capacity. If the check ball valve is not seating properly, call Tech Service.

Why won't my Snap-On Jack lift to full height?

  Dalton JohnstonAug 13, 2025
  If your Snap-On Jack isn't lifting to its full height, it could be due to a couple of reasons. Air might be trapped in the hydraulic system; in this case, follow step 3 on page 6 to remove the trapped air. Alternatively, there might not be enough hydraulic fluid in the reservoir. To resolve this, remove the reservoir fill plug and ensure the fluid level is equal to the top of the internal cylinder when the lift arm is lowered all the way. See page 9.

What to do if Snap-On Jack will not lower all the way down without a load?

  Tyler CummingsAug 22, 2025
  If your Snap-On Jack won't lower completely without a load, it could be due to a few reasons. It's possible there's too much fluid in the reservoir. To fix this, remove the reservoir fill plug and make sure the fluid level aligns with the top of the internal cylinder when the lift arm is fully lowered. See page 9. Remove any excess fluid if it's above the internal cylinder. Another potential issue is a mechanical restriction within the chassis assembly; follow step 1 under the WEEKLY Maintenance section of this manual. See page 8. If there is a bent or deformed chassis component, call Tech Service.
