Default QuickJack Question/Problem

Got the car up today and while lowering it onto the stands one of the hoses popped off. With the pressure in the line I can't reattach the line. I've tried Up/Dn but I'm thinking there's a pressure switch that won't let in move.

Any suggestions??

Hold the down switch several seconds after the lifts have fully collapsed or the safety rods have taken the full weight of the vehicle. This should relieve the pressure in lines.

Tried up down with no luck. Got the floor jacks out and lifted it odd the QJ, all good!

Hey Jeff. I have a set of QJ as well. Just a tip. Always twist the coupler sleeve after you put them on so the little locating ball does not line up so the coupler sleeve and coupler can not pop off.

Unscrew the fitting and let some fluid out.
