QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 16 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J3 — Oct. 2019
Selecting a Site
Keep the following in mind when selecting a site for your QuickJack:
• Enough space. Make sure there is adequate space for the QuickJack and the Vehicles you will
be raising.
• Radial Shift. When you raise your QuickJack with a Vehicle on it, the geometry of the Frames
moves the Vehicle up at a slight angle, towards the sticker end of the QuickJack; refer to the
graphic in Unpacking. Radial shift is always towards the sticker end of the QuickJack, no matter
which way the Vehicle is facing.
Radial shift can be anywhere from 11 to 15 inches, depending on QuickJack model.
Make sure to account for radial shift when choosing where to set up and use your QuickJack.
• No overhead obstructions. Make sure your site is free of overhead obstructions such as
heaters, building supports, electrical lines, low-hanging lights, and so on. We recommend leaving
at least three feet above the top of the Vehicle when raised on the QuickJack.
• Level floor. Inspect the floor and check for defective concrete or asphalt. Make sure the floor is
dry, level, and has a minimum compressive strength of 500 psi.
• Power in the right place. You will need to have a power source for your Power Unit. If you are
using 110 or 220/240 VAC power, the Power Unit must be close enough to the power source for
the cord to reach.
If you are using a 12 VDC power source, the Power Unit must be close enough to the power
source for your connection method to reach. For example, if you are powering your 12 VDC Power
Unit with a Vehicle Battery, the Power Unit must be within reach of the Jumper Cables attached to
the Vehicle’s Battery.
⚠ WARNING Do not set up or use a QuickJack on a surface with 3° of slope or more, as this
could lead to personal injury or death if a raised Vehicle were to fall off the
QuickJack. The greater the slope, the more likely the Vehicle will become
unbalanced and fall off the QuickJack, which could damage the Vehicle and injure
anyone in the area.
