What is the lifting height range?

The minimum saddle height is 150mm, and the maximum lifting height is 650mm.

Can I use this jack for light passenger cars?

The Rocket Lift is a mechanism that rapidly brings the lifting arm into contact with the jacking point in just a few strokes, significantly speeding up the initial phase of lifting.

What maintenance is required for this jack?

Regular cleaning, checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting the rubber pad, and lubricating moving parts are essential. Refer to the product manual for detailed maintenance schedules.

Troubleshooting

Jack fails to lift or lifts very slowly.

Check air pressure if using air operation. Ensure the air coupling is secure. Verify hydraulic fluid level is adequate. Inspect for any visible leaks. If operating manually, ensure the pump mechanism is functioning correctly.

Jack lowers unintentionally.

Ensure the safety release valve is fully closed. Check for any obstructions preventing the valve from sealing properly. Inspect seals for wear or damage. If the issue persists, do not use the jack and seek professional service.

Difficulty positioning the jack under the vehicle.

Utilize the long reach feature to maneuver the saddle closer to the jacking point. Ensure the path to the jacking point is clear of obstructions. The large diameter saddle aids in easier alignment.

Damage to vehicle underside.

Always ensure the rubber jack pad is correctly positioned between the jack saddle and the vehicle's jacking point. Use only manufacturer-approved jacking points on the vehicle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
