QuickJack Trouble ?
I know a lot of you have QuickJacks. I've used mine only twice since I bought it and it worked great. I go to use it on my C3 this morning and one side lifts but the other doesn't. I switched hydraulic lines and it follows the line so it is a problem with the pump. The fluid is topped off and everything looks okay.
I called the company but they are closed today. I really wanted to get some work done on the car so trying here to see if anyone has any ideas. I don't want to start taking the pump apart and void the warranty.

https://help.quickjack.com/support/s...e-pump-Priming the pump pushes hydraulic fluid into the system. On rare occasions, there may not be enough hydraulic fluid in the system for the pump to produce force. Priming the pump usually resolves this issue.
Note: If your power unit does not have a relief valve, you cannot prime it.
To prime the pump:
The pump should now have enough hydraulic fluid to operate normally.
Note: If your power unit does not have a relief valve, you cannot prime it.
To prime the pump:
- On the power unit, remove the relief valve, then place a rag over the cavity and hold it there.
- Press Up on the pendant control for a few seconds (until you feel pressure on the rag).
- Reinstall the relief valve.
