What should you do if the jack starts making unusual noises?

If the jack begins making unusual noises, the appropriate response is to inspect it for potential issues immediately. Unusual noises can indicate underlying problems that, if left unaddressed, may lead to malfunction or failure, potentially resulting in accidents or injuries. It’s crucial to take immediate action to understand the source of the noise, which might be due to mechanical wear, misalignment, lack of lubrication, or internal damage. Addressing these issues promptly helps ensure the jack remains safe to use and operates effectively, aligning with the best practices for maintenance and safety in your work environment. Ignoring the noises or continuing to use the jack without inspection can lead to further complications, increasing risks and safety hazards.
