How do I properly position the Clarke 7621820 CTJ2QLP garage jack under my vehicle?

How often should I perform maintenance on my Clarke 7621820 CTJ2QLP garage jack?

Regular maintenance should be performed every 6 months or after significant use. This includes checking hydraulic oil levels, inspecting for leaks, and lubricating moving parts.

Always use jack stands for support after lifting the vehicle. Never work under a vehicle supported solely by a jack, and ensure the vehicle is on stable ground before lifting.
