AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ Drop Speed Adjustment Jared Fenton
Difficulty Level 1 Difficulty scale: Adding air to your tires is level one Rebuilding a 911 Motor is level ten
The AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ is quite simply, the best floor jack we have ever used. It features a low profile for fitting under lowered cars, a range of operation from 3.5" all the way to 29" and also a convenient foot pump that raises the jack quickly. What most people don't realize is that you can also adjust the speed at which the jack lowers when you turn the release handle.
The drop speed on the lift is easily adjusted. Put the jack handle all the way down and look inside the mechanism where it meets the jack. You'll see a small 8mm adjusting nut inside (See Figure 1). Put a 8mm deep socket on the nut and turn it counter clockwise to decrease the drop rate. You'll have to play around with it a bit to get it exactly where you want it, but a half-turn is a good starting point (See Figure 2).
