Can this jack be stored on it's side without leakage? I have a perfect place for it in my travel trailer, but I don't want to risk leaking fluid...

Yes you can store on side. If it leaks there is something wrong with the product.

I would think so, but just in case, I would put it in a large freezer zip-lock bag. Actually, I would do that anyway even if it was standing up.

Well I use this battery in a kayak to power the fish finder and I unload my kayak when I am done for the day and before I put it back on the trailer. I guess you could leave it in the boat if it is strapped down so it won't bounce around. It is a sealed battery so nothing can leak out if it is on it's side

If your concern is leakage, you have nothing to worry about. I have mine in my kayak and through that in the back of my truck all the time and drive with no issues.

I use mine in the back of my pickup camper, in hilly terrain, rough roads, etc. Then down to the boat for a weekend on the water, absolutely no leakage!

Yes as long as the gasket is in place and you completely screw it tight, it will not leak! I've turned my upside down many times or it has fallen and nothing leaked out.

Absolutely! Do it all the time. There is a hole at the bottom where the jack is.

short answer, YES!!! only weakness in this jack is that if the vehicle, falls off the jack it will very likely bust the jack by twisting it scissors and bass. Happened to me and busted it beyond repair. I did buy another one, because it really is handy to have around. Am just more careful now.

although mine is stored on its feet/wheels, i see no reason a person couldn't stand it on it's wheel end with proper blocking. if it leaks you have a seal problem

Yes, it is a good idea to use it no matter where you store it. It is a lubricant for the pump.

yup. it will leak down but i've left mine in the gun for as long as a week with very little leakage. i agree with fstedd, best to use it all in one session.

I just watch the video one replier sent you. In the video it looks like it uses the wrong end of the handle tube in the jack or it is not the same as mine. The part with the foam on the handle is the one to in insert into the jack. The foam is to prevent damage to the vehicle if it was to come into contact. Not sure what he is doing. LOL I have know way of sending you a pic on here or I would. sorry.

My opinion is that the plug is not sealed and won't resist very much moisture. The rotating piece of the plug is not so tight against the outside part.I would be surprised if it is UL listed for that type of use but don't know for certain.

Haven't tried liquids, but it has a good seal and if you don't tempt fate by storing it on its side, I don't think you will have leaks.

We store our vertical compressor in ours on the outside of our shop. It is water tight. If your application is storing this on the inside of a structure you should have no problem.

I have had it on it side and it has never leaked. But upside down I would not trust

No sir. The handle can be flat to the ground and sometimes it's easier to get it to release when it's parallel I the ground. The jack works great we're at a 10 bay service garage and my guys tried to throw away a perfectly good jack (just old) to get another one of these!

This jack is designed to go into the triangle hole in the tongue of the trailer. If you don't have this hole you need to get the welder out or get a side mount jack. Which they probably cost more.
