OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
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. Depress the large foot pedal up and down in order to raise the
saddle to a height very close to the center of balance point of the transmission oil pan but do not touch the transmission.
4.
Adjust the fingers (#2) on the saddle so that the bent up section of the fingers will fit in the mounting flange around the perimeter
of the transmission oil pan. Slowly and gently pump the jack so the connection is made and then secure the transmission to the
jack's saddle with the safety chain (#28) provided. Sometimes it is necessary to turn the fore and aft knobs and side to side tilt
knobs so the saddle is in the proper alignment with the transmission pan before securing the load to the saddle.
5.
Make sure the safety chain is very tight when securing the transmission to the saddle and before raising or lowering the
transmission.
6.
Remove the transmission from the engine according to instructions in the vehicle service manual.
7.
Once the transmission has been disconnected from the engine, very slowly depress the release pedal to make sure the jack's
saddle and transmission do not hang up on any undercar components, wiring, fuel lines, etc. Continue to lower the jack all the
way down.
8.
When installing a transmission, follow the above instructions but in the applicable order and according to the vehicle
manufacturer's installation procedure.
IMPORTANT! The release foot pedal (#R42) is designed for ordinary lowering of load. The release knob (#R50) is used for slow
9.
controlled lowering of load. Do not use both release mechanisms (#R42 and #R50) at the same time.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1.
Regularly lubricate all moving parts, paying close attention to the tilt screws and related linkages.
2.
It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires
immediate repair which must be preformed by qualified hydraulic repair personnel. In order to prevent seal damage, use hydraulic
jack oil, SAE 30 hydraulic oil, or Shell Oil 22.
The proper fluid level is approximately 1" below the level of the air vent screw (#R23) with both rams lowered. Over filling will cause
fluid to leak from the screw when the load is lowered.
