You seem to be contradicted by:
"My car has been up on the quickjack for 9+ months now. No jackstands, no issues. The hydraulics are not even in the same area. Disconnected for months. Just on the locks like any life should be. No lift system depends on the hydraulics to stay up."
As far as ignorance, then why were the warnings put into the instructions? I didn't really buy the quickjack to work on it, worry about it if I left my car on it overnight, or get a new item and have to wrench on it and replace parts before even using it. I'm sorry if relating my experience has offended you but I'm only telling the truth and was looking to see if others had similar experiences. Just maybe I'm more particular when working on or under a 3000lb car. You know when critiquing a product you should be allowed to express negatives as well as positives. If not then this thread would be worthless to others

Nothing was contradicted and your reading comprehension is extremely poor, I am sorry to say. Both Unreal and I said the exact same thing. Which is that the safety bars are used to support the car, and NOT THE HYDRAULICS, once the car is in position on the jack in the air. I think I am soon going to add you to ignore, as you are either being intentionally obtuse or are simply incapable of understanding basic words and how a jacking system like Quickjack works. The only thing that is clear is that you should not own any kind of jack or lift and that your initial issues were obviously user error.

You should not be allowed to spread misinformation and lies about a good product. If it was a valid complaint, all good. You are just making **** up.

I regularly check the air pressure in the air cylinders on my Quickjack before use. To make it easy for myself, I set the regulator on my air line to 50 psi and just let the cylinder have it, no need to fill, check with gauge, lose a little, etc. Just fill them before using and forget about them.
My car has been in the air on the first level for weeks, no issues...power unit disconnected and put away, weight of the car on the safety bars. It could sit there for 100 years I'm sure. I just pulled the heads on my Z06 and it was soooo nice to be able to easily slide under the car to loosen the exhaust and a couple other things. Even on first, lower lift level I could easily get under there, love this lift

Mine has been on the safety bars, for past 14 months, with the pump/etc in a different garage not even close by.

I also got mine from Home Depot a few weeks ago, used it yesterday for the first time to do my DRM shock install. I love this thing, makes lifting this car a breeze! highly recommend!
