Will this jack work on my car or truck?

If your vehicle weighs under 3 tons (most sedans, coupes, and light trucks do), this jack handles it. Check your owner's manual for curb weight to be sure. Always use jack stands as backup — never work under a car supported only by a jack.

Do I need a jack pad or can I put it directly on my car?

Use a rubber pad or wood block under the jack saddle to protect your rocker panel and prevent slipping. Bare metal on bare metal will damage paint and won't grip right.

What if the pump leaks or stops working?

Hydraulic jacks can lose pressure over time or develop slow leaks. Keep a bottle jack repair kit handy or contact support with your purchase date for options. Storage in a dry space extends the life of the seals.
