OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Lift the vehicle to the desired work height and support the vehicle in accordance with the lift
manufacturer's recommended support procedure and all the instructions and warnings in this manual.
2.
Use an under hoist stand rated greater than the weight of the engine to support the engine before
unbolting the transmission from the engine or bolting the transmission to the engine.
3.
Position the transmission jack directly under the transmission. The transmission jack's saddle can be
raised to a desired height by pumping the foot pedal (R43.)
4.
Pump the jack's saddle to a height very close to the center of balance of the transmission but do not
come in contact with the transmission. The saddle has 4 arms that are in an "L " shape. The arms can
be used on the short or long portions of the "L." Loosen the bolts to telescope the arms out as far as
needed to cradle the transmission. Once adjusted tighten the bolts using the wing nuts provided. Using
the foot pump pedal slowly pump the pedal until the saddle supports the transmission. Sometimes it is
necessary to turn the fore and aft adjustment handle and/or the side to side adjustment handle so the
saddle is in proper alignment with the transmission.
5.
Make sure the safety chain is very tight when securing the transmission to the saddle and before
removing the under hoist stand that has been supporting the engine.
6.
IMPORTANT: There are two methods for lowering the jack's saddle. The foot release should only be
depressed to lower the saddle quickly without any weight on the saddle. Fine and slow control of
lowering the load should be done with turning the release valve handle in a counterclockwise rotation.
The more the handle is rotated in a counterclockwise rotation the faster the loaded saddle will descend.
7.
Once the transmission has been removed from the engine very slowly turn the release handle in a
counterclockwise rotation.
8.
When installing a transmission follow the above instructions but in the applicable order and according to
the manufacturer's installation procedures.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

1.
When not in use store the jack in a dry location with the saddle in the lowest position.
2.
Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather,
corrosive vapors, or any other harmful elements.
oil, grease, or other foreign matter before using.
3.
Lubricate moving parts excluding the telescopic rams monthly with a general purpose grease.
4.
To keep the labels clean and readable use a mild soap solution.
5.
To ensure best performance and longer equipment life it is recommended to replace the hydraulic oil
once per year. With jack in the lowest position remove the air vent screw (R33) and lay the jack on its
side. Drain the oil into a suitable container making sure no dirt or debris gets into the system. Set the
jack in its upright position and fill with approved hydraulic jack oil. Replace the air vent screw (R33)
and purge away air from hydraulic system as described in the ASSEMBLY section.
6.
Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you are a qualified hydraulic repair technician that
is familiar with this equipment. Repairs must be done by an authorized repair center.
7.
IMPORTANT: To prevent seal damage and jack failure never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or
transmission oil in the jack. Use hydraulic oil only.
The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit,
