I've had the same problem. Do you have the "V" shaped metal lever on
the jack's locking nut? I mean, the one that _should_ automatically
switch the hydraulics of the jack from "up" to "down"?

If it's not precisely adjusted on the nut, and/or it doesn't bear the
correct angle in the metal V braces, it won't work as intended.

You probably need to adjust it, or to shorten one of the braces, or to
remove it and install a very simple circular knob.
