Preventative Maintenance - Evercraft 776-4003 Mode D'emploi

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Secure the #22 fingers to the #21 saddle with the #24 bolts and #23 washers provided.
2. Secure the #28 end chain link to the #21 saddle with the #25 bolt, #26 washer and #27 nut as shown in the exploded view drawing.
3. Insert the #34 handle in the pump handle receiver of the #32 hydraulic assembly.
4. Air may get trapped in the hydraulic system during shipping and/or handling. An air trapped system prevents the lift arm from raising high enough through
each incremental pump stroke, or the pump operation feels spongy, or the lift arm cannot be raised to maximum height. Follow the procedure below to purge
air out of the hydraulic system:
a. Turn the #33 release valve clockwise until it stops. Now turn the release valve counterclockwise two complete revolutions.
b. Pump the handle approximately 15 times. Turn the #33 release valve in a clockwise direction until it stops.
c. Pump the jack until the lift arm is raised to maximum height.
d. If the condition persists, repeat steps a) through c) until all air is removed.
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 lifting and support procedures.
2. Position the transmission jack directly under the transmission. Turn the (#33) release valve knob all the way in a clockwise direction until it stops. Pump the handle
(#34), and the saddle assembly will start to rise. Raise the saddle to a height very close to the center of balance point of the transmission, but do not touch the
transmission.
3. Loosen the four bolts that secure the four fingers to the saddle. The fingers can be adjusted in and out to help position the transmission on the saddle. Now
gently raise the saddle so it supports the transmission. Adjust the four fingers in position against the transmission, and tighten the bolts that secure the
fingers to the saddle. Fore and aft saddle tilt adjustments are sometimes necessary to properly position the transmission on the saddle. Side to side tilt
positioning may be necessary for the same reason and can be accomplished by activating the side to side tilt knob.
4. The chain should be pulled over the center of balance portion of the transmission and pulled on the chain hook tightly so the transmission is secured to
the saddle.
5. Remove the transmission from the engine according to instructions in the vehicle service manual.
6. Once the transmission has been disconnected from the engine, very slowly turn the jack's (#33) release knob in a counterclockwise direction to make sure
the jack's saddle and transmission do not hang up on any under vehicle components, wiring, fuel lines, etc. Continue to lower the jack all the way down.
7. Remember to secure the transmission to the saddle before installing, and follow the vehicle manufacturer's installation instructions.

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 or grit 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 zerk grease fittings,
caster wheels, elevator arm, release mechanism and all other bearing surfaces. Jacks found to be defective due to 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 qualified hydraulic repair personnel who are familiar with this equipment.
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil in the jack. Use NAPA Hydraulic Jack Oil #765-1541.
4. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the jack but not any moving
hydraulic components. Contact Balkamp for a replacement label if your jack's label is unreadable.
5. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage or leaks hydraulic fluid. Do not use the
jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modified in any way. Take corrective action before using the jack again.
NOTE: Disassembly of this tool by other than an authorized service center will void the war ran ty on this tool.
