This is the safety alert symbol used for the SETUP INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
Refer to parts breakdown on page 5:
1. Secure the #2 legs to the #1 post with the #9 hex bolts, #4 washers and #10 hex nuts as shown in the drawing.
2. Secure the #6 swivel casters to the legs with the #7 hex bolts, #5 washers and #8 lock washers as shown in the drawing.
3. S ecure the #3 hydraulic jack to the top of the #1 post using the #11 hex bolts, #16 washers and #12 hex nuts as shown in the drawing.
4. S lip the #15 head assembly on to the ram of the #3 hydraulic jack and align the holes in the jack's ram with the hole in the #15 head
assembly.
Secure the head to the ram with the #13 bolt provided.
5. I nstall the #14 fingers to the #15 head assembly using the #17 hex bolts, #18 washers and #19 hex nuts as shown in the drawing.
6. Secure one end link of the #21 chain to the #15 head assembly with #22 hex bolt, #24 washer and #23 hex nut as shown in the
drawing.
7. Secure the #20 hook assembly to the #15 head assembly with the washer and nut provided and as shown in the drawing.
8. Sometimes air gets trapped in the jack during shipping and/or handling. Evidence of an air bound jack is when the pump stroke feels
spongy and the jack with not pump full incremental pump strokes
PURGING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
A. O pen the release valve by turning it two full rotations counterclockwise from its closed position.
B. P ump the jack 15 full incremental pump strokes without load applied to the jack.
C. Close the release valve by turning it clockwise until it stops.
D. R epeat steps "A." through "D." until air is purged from system.
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. Pump the jack handle 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 on the head 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 chain provided. Sometimes it is necessary to turn the fore and aft and side to side tilt knobs so the head is in the
proper alignment with the transmission pan before securing the load to the head.
5. Make sure the chain is very tight when securing the transmission to the head 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 turn the release valve in a counterclockwise direction.
Make sure the jack's head and transmission do not hang up on any under car components, wiring, fuel lines, etc. Continue to lower
the load 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.
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. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive
dust, or any other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign matter
before using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to
all fittings, caster wheels, tilt screws but no hydraulic compontents. Worn parts resulting from inadequate or no lubrication are not
eligible for warranty consideration.
3. It should not be necessary to refill or top off the reservoir with hydraulic fluid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires
immediate repair which must be performed in a dirt-free environment by an authorized service center.
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid or transmission oil in the jack. Use
