• When you observe oil exiting the cylinder without
bubbles, the air has been removed.
• Tighten the hex socket bleed screw using a
hexagon wrench to close and create a tight seal. DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
2. REMOVING PACKING OIL FROM AIR CHARGE
CYLINDERS.
• Using a pump or air compressor, inflate each air
bottle cylinder to 50-PSI.
• Use a valve tool or blunt-nose tool to depress the
valve core plunger to release any accumulated
packing oil from the air charge cylinders. WARNING:
Lay a towel or cloth over the inflation valve during
this process to prevent oil mist from contaminating
the immediate area and/or or to prevent oil mist from
entering eyes. See image below.
• Repeat steps until air charge cylinders are
completely drained of packing oil.
• Place contaminated materials in disposable
containers and dispose of in a manner consistent
with applicable regulations.
STEP 12
Operation and Use
There are two methods of using the QuickJack when
raising vehicles; INSIDE OUT and OUTSIDE IN.
• INSIDE OUT: In this method, the QuickJack frames
are positioned directly adjacent each other while the
vehicle rolls over into position. Quick Frame Handles are
typically required. See below.
Quick Frame Handles are easily installed by simply lifting
the jack frames and placing the end channel underneath
the frame tubes as shown below.
• OUTSIDE IN: In this method, the QuickJack frames
are positioned wide enough for vehicle entry. Quick
Frame Handles are typically not required. DO NOT
drive over hydraulic hose. See below.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before loading, both jack frames must be fully
lowered and working area cleared of any obstruction
before vehicle is brought into position. DO NOT drive on
or ride vehicles over jack frames at any time.
1. Position four Rubber Lift Blocks in the receiver trays as
shown below.
GET FAMILIAR WITH OPERATOR CONTROLS BY
RUNNING THE JACKS THROUGH A FEW CYCLES
BEFORE LOADING VEHICLE ON QUICKJACK.
DURING PRESTART TESTING WITH NO LOAD,
THE JACK FRAMES MAY NOT RAISE AND
LOWER EVENLY. THIS IS NORMAL. DURING
PRESTART TESTING WITH NO LOAD, DO NOT
RAISE FRAMES TO FULL HEIGHT, RAISE
MIDWAY ONLY.

18
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not attempt to lift any load on the upper frame rail. Use
Rubber Lift Blocks only. Rubber Lift Blocks must only be
placed in the receiver trays.
2. With vehicle in ready position, place each jack frame
under the vehicle making sure to position the Rubber
Lift Blocks at the factory recommended jacking points.
Ensure vehicle is positioned with the center-of-balance

Always lift a vehicle according to the manufacturers
recommended lifting points. Typical vehicle jacking points
are illustrated below.
TO RAISE JACK FRAMES
1. Before raising vehicle, be sure all personnel are clear
of the surrounding area.
IF THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE LIFT POINTS ARE NOT
IDENTIFIED OR IF THE VEHICLE HAS ADDITIONAL
OR UNIQUELY POSITIONED PAYLOAD, HAVE A
QUALIFIED PERSON CALCULATE THE VEHICLE
CENTER OF GRAVITY OR HAVE THE VEHICLE
CENTER OF GRAVITY DETERMINED AT A VEHICLE
SCALE.
MAKE SURE VEHICLE IS NEITHER FRONT NOR
REAR HEAVY AND SELECT THE PROPER
CONFIGURATION FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE LIFTED
AS SHOWN BELOW. CENTER OF BALANCE SHOULD
BE MIDWAY BETWEEN RUBBER LIFTING BLOCKS
AND CENTERED OVER THE JACK FRAMES.

2. Pay careful attention to overhead clearances - stand
clear at all times.
3. Operate the UP control until each jack platform makes
contact with vehicle undercarriage. Check contact points.
If required, slightly position Rubber Lift Blocks as needed.
4. When ready, raise vehicle keeping the UP button
continuously depressed until tires clear the oor and the
jack frames are at least 12” off the ground or the rst
safety lock position has been reached.
5. Continue to raise to desired height only if vehicle is
secure on lift. Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers, and all
parts of body away from moving parts. Keep feet clear of
jack when lowering. Avoid pinch points.
6. Operate the UP control until each jack platform
reaches either the low locking position or high locking
position.
7. Raise vehicle to desired locking position, then ensure
both safety lock bars (#1) are fully engaged in their
respective receiver (#2) before nearing elevated vehicle.
STAY ALERT. Use common sense and watch what you
are doing. Remember, SAFETY FIRST.
TO LOWER JACK FRAMES
1. Ensure that load is rmly positioned and secured on
jack frames.
2. Operate the UP control until safety lock bars are clear.
3. Raise and stow the safety lock bars.
4. Stand clear of vehicle and jack frames.
5. Operate the DOWN control until both the jack frames
are lowered completely to the oor.
6. Using the utility handles, remove the jack frames from
underneath the vehicle.
7. DO NOT drive or ride vehicles over jack frames at any
time.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before removing vehicle, both jack frames must be fully
lowered and working area cleared of any obstruction
before vehicle is brought into position. DO NOT drive on
or ride vehicles over jack frames at any time.
