QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 29 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J3 — Oct. 2019
Filling the Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir on the Power Unit
The Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir must be filled with Hydraulic Fluid or Automatic Transmission Fluid
before you begin operation of the QuickJack.
When you receive it, the Fluid Reservoir is empty. The Power Unit will not work correctly
until it is filled with approved fluids.
⚠ CAUTION If you use the QuickJack without fluid in the reservoir, you could damage the
Power Unit.
Approved fluids are any general purpose ISO-32, ISO-46, or ISO-68 Hydraulic Fluid, approved
Automatic Transmission Fluids such as Dexron III, Dexron VI, Mercon V, Mercon LV, or any synthetic
multi-vehicle Automatic Transmission Fluid.
The fluid level should be approximately .5 inch (12 mm) below the Fill Hole when the QuickJack is fully
lowered. Note that the fluid level drops some after you start using the QuickJack; this is because some
fluid stays in the Hydraulic Hoses. If you notice that the fluid level has dropped more than a little, you
should fill it back up to half an inch below the Fill Hole (with the Frames on the ground).
Important: Do not completely fill the Fluid Reservoir while there is fluid in the hoses. If you do, the
reservoir could overflow when the fluid in the hoses returns (when you lower the
QuickJack Frames).
QuickJack recommends having a couple of rags nearby in case any fluid leaks.
To fill the Fluid Reservoir:
1. Remove the Reservoir Cap (if it has a Breather Valve they both come off together) from the Fill Hole
and put it down in a non-contaminated area.
2. Fill the Fluid Reservoir with approximately 2.1 quarts / 2 liters of approved fluids (see above).
You want the fluid level about .5 inch (12 mm) below the Fill Hole with the QuickJack Frames
lowered.
Make sure the Funnel is clean; if there are contaminants on it, they could get into the Fluid
Reservoir.
3. Replace the Reservoir Cap in the Fill Hole and hand tighten it firmly.
