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 jack directly under the transmission. Pump the handle, and the adapter will start to rise. Raise the adapter to a height
very close to the center of balance point of the transmission, but do not touch the transmission.
3. Loosen the bolts that secure the saddle angles to the saddle and the bolts that secure the fingers to the saddle angles. The
saddle angles and fingers can be adjusted in and out to help position the transmission on the saddle. Now gently raise the
adapter so it supports the transmission. Make a final adjustment of the angles and fingers and tighten all hardware. Fore and aft
saddle tilt adjustment may be necessary to properly fit the angle of the transmission on the adapter.
4. The chain should be pulled over the center of balance portion of the transmission and secured on the chain hook. Rotate the wing
nut to take up the slack in the chain and secure the transmission 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 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 adapter before installing, and follow the vehicle manufacturer's installation
instructions.
