QuickJack™ Portable Car Jack 46 P/N 5900959 — Rev. J3 — Oct. 2019
The following procedure applies only to the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit; none of the other
QuickJack Power Units can be used with a Vehicle Battery.
⚠ WARNING QuickJack recommends wearing safety glasses and removing all jewelry before
connecting the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit to a Vehicle Battery. If metal touches
in the wrong place, it could cause a short circuit that results in an exploded battery,
ruined Vehicle computer, burned fingers, and/or battery acid burns.
The following procedure assumes one of the Jumper Cable cables is red, the other black.
To connect the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit to a Vehicle Battery:
1. Move the QuickJack Frames to the desired location, find an appropriate location for the 12 VDC
QuickJack Power Unit, and then connect the two using the Hydraulic Hoses.
2. Drive the Vehicle whose Battery you want to use to a suitable location near the 12 VDC QuickJack
Power Unit.
The Jumper Cables need to be able to reach from the Vehicle Battery to the 12 VDC QuickJack
Power Unit.
3. Attach one end of the
red Jumper Cable to the Positive terminal on the Vehicle Battery, the
other end to the Positive terminal on the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit.
See the drawing on the previous page.
⚠ WARNING Make sure to connect Positive to Positive and Negative to Negative. If you
connect Positive to Negative, you will almost certainly cause damage to the
electrical system of the Vehicle, including the battery. You could also damage the
12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit, cause an electrical fire, or cause an explosion.
4. Attach one end of the black Jumper Cable to the Negative terminal on the Vehicle Battery, the
other end to the Negative terminal on the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit.
5. Turn on the Vehicle’s engine.
BendPak recommends running the Vehicle’s engine while you use the QuickJack, so you do not
drain the Battery.
6. Use the QuickJack.
7. When you are done using the QuickJack, reverse the process: turn off the Vehicle’s engine,
remove the Jumper Cables from the Vehicle Battery and the 12 VDC QuickJack Power Unit, and
finally pack up the QuickJack Frames.
Additional Operating Information
Keep the following in mind when operating your QuickJack:
• Use it only on a hard, flat surface. Your QuickJack is portable; if you move it to a new location,
make sure the new location has a hard, flat surface.
• Check the weight of a Vehicle before attempting to raise it. Do not guess. Never exceed the rated
load capacity of your QuickJack.
• Always use Lift Blocks. Do not raise a load on the QuickJack Frames alone.
• Lift Blocks must be used in the Receiver Trays only. The provided Lift Blocks are
not designed for
use with pinch-weld frames. If you have a Vehicle with a pinch-weld frame, QuickJack
recommends ordering optional Pinch-Weld Blocks, available on the QuickJack website.
