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 knob #1-21 all the way in a clockwise direction until it
stops. Pump the handle #1-45, and the saddle #3-8 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 #3-6 that secure the four fingers #3-7 and #3-13 to the saddle #3-8. The fingers #3-7 and #3-13 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 #3-6 that secure the fingers to the saddle. Fore
and aft saddle tilt adjustments and side to side adjustments are necessary to properly position the transmission on the saddle.
These adjustments can be made by rotating the two knobs #18.
4. The chain #3-4 should be pulled over the center of balance portion of the transmission and secured on the chain hooks #3-16.
Rotate the wing nuts #3-14 to take up the slack in the chain #3-4 and secure the transmission to the saddle #3-8.
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 #1-21 in a
counterclockwise direction to make sure the jack's saddle #3-8 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, 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 zerk grease fittings, caster wheels, elevator arm, handle base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other
bearing surfaces.
