Working Pawl Spring (Parent)

The pawl spring in a GoJak’s pedal assembly plays a critical role in ensuring the consistent engagement and return of the pawl during the lifting process. This small yet essential component maintains tension and positioning for reliable jack operation.

What Happens if the Pawl Spring Fails?

• The pawl may not engage properly, causing the lift to slip.

• You might experience inconsistent or jerky pedal movement.

• The vehicle could lower unexpectedly due to loss of locking force.

• Look for tension loss: If the spring feels weak or stretched, it may need replacement.

• Check for rust or dirt: Corrosion can restrict movement; clean and lightly lubricate as needed.

• Ensure proper alignment: The spring should be seated securely without bending or slipping out of place.
