5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand and apply the safety instructions and warnings before use. Failure to
heed these instructions may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
1. Roll the transmission jack into position and pump the foot pedal (60) until saddle (21) reaches desired height.
NOTE: Follow vehicle manufacturer's recommended procedures for removing the load as outlined in vehicle
service manual or repair guide.
2. Carefully center load on the saddle. Ensure the load's center of gravity is centered on the saddle and the setup is
stable and secure.
NOTE: Before lowering load check to ensure all tools and personnel are clear and it is safe to lower the load.
3. SLOWLY and CAREFULLY turn the release handle (02) to the right to lower the load to its lowest possible
position.
NOTE: The speed of lowering is controlled by the release handle. The more the valve
rapidly the jack descends. Ensure the decent is slow and controlled.
WARNING: Dangerous dynamic shock loads are created by quick opening and closing the release handle when the
load is being lowered. The resulting overload may cause hydraulic system failure which could cause property damage
and/or severe personal injury.
4. If necessary, CAREFULLY and SLOWLY move the jack.
5. Transfer load immediately to appropriate support device for service or repair.
6. MAINTENANCE
1. When not in use, store the jack in a dry location with saddle in lowest position.
2. Periodically check the piston rod for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
Warning: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
3. A coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that castors,
foot pedal and pump assemblies move freely. Periodically lubricate the pivot points, axles and hinges with a
light lubricating oil as needed
4. With jack in its lowest position, remove the air vent screw (19) to check the hydraulic oil level. If it is not
adequate, add high quality hydraulic jack oil (we recommend #32) until it's up to the same level of the hole.
Insert and tighten the air vent screw. Then purge away air from hydraulic system as described in 4.2.
Warning: DO NOT use brake fluid or any other improper fluid and avoid mixing different types of oil when
adding hydraulic oil.
5. To ensure best performance and longer equipment life, replace the complete hydraulic oil at least once a year.
With jack in its lowest position, remove the air vent screw (19), lay the jack on its side and drain the oil into a
suitable container. Ensure that no dirt gets into the system. Set the jack in its level upright position, fill with
approved hydraulic jack oil (we recommend #32) until it's up to the same level of the hole (Usually 800ML
hydraulic oil is enough). Then replace the air vent screw (19) and purge away air from hydraulic system as
described in 4.2.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.
6. When equipment efficiency drops, purge away air from hydraulic system as described in 4.2.
7. It is recommended that an annual inspection be done by qualified technicians.
