I followed the instructions and this thing isn't going up. I have the handle turned all the way to the right to lock the release valve or whatever and this POS just sits there I'm hoping this doesn't turn into an Amir turny-clicky incident but wtf it won't werk.

 

anybody?

 

I'd check to see if there is oil in the valve. You might have gotten one that was returned, otherwise just go and exchange it if you just bought it.

 

If you've turned the handle both ways and there's no movement then it's probably time to return. There is some sort of bleeder or check valve, but I cannot remember what do to with it. I'd just exchange it at Sears -- they're pretty good with returns/exchanges.

 

fawkin A.....ugh ok time to go and return it. As always gents, thanks for the help.

 

What's that little silver thing on the back between the back two wheels? you're not supposed to pull the handle out and put it on that silver thing to turn it are you?

na, I'm sure you would know that if that was the case.

 

Some hydro jacks come without oil...check it first

 

ugh hmmm doesn't mention adding oil. I thought something along that line and re examined the manual but nothing....

 

how much did that run you?

 

everytime i buy a jack it does that... i have no idea how to fix it i just fiddle with it till it works

twice ive bought a jack that does that back to the store and found the salesman could get it to work right on first try....

makes me feel dumb.

glad im not the only one

 

i have the same one.... you need to take the handle and put it in that silver thing thats right by that red thingy. Then turn it all the way to the right till it cant go anymore. Then try to jack it up.....

I suck at explaining things

 

lol... well im sure he knows that.

i figured that was just basic knowledge...

 

ugh.....let's hope i can get it to work this morning before I have to go back to the store.

 

$30 i think.

 

i wish someone knew why jacks do this...

it has to be common...

ive bought maybe 4-5 floor jacks in life and at least 3 had this problem when i bought them

 

You mean that "TURNEY-CLICKY" thing? :P

"na, I'm sure you would know that if that was the case"

 

Ok i'm a retard. As I suspected..... Not being very mechnically inclined I managed to look like a moron. The release valve wasn't labled all that well . Ugh..... If my dad were around he would've smacked me upside my head Unlike myself he was very technically adept. OH well so now i go on attempting to change the oil.....let's hope i don't fawk it up

 

Sorry,.... but,....

 

yuk it up

 

can i take ur dad's place?

 

the embarrasment at the store is enough! I know next time. I had to teach myself all of this. My dad passed away when i was little so i think i'm doing ok.....not where'd i'd like to be but getting there....much of it because of this board! thanks again....

 

I knew there was some sort of release valve thingy.

Oh well. I'm sure we've all done equally things.
