DUAL STAGE TRANSMISSION JACK
Detach gearbox and lower away from underside of vehicle.
7.
Refitting Gearbox. Secure the repaired/new gearbox to the support plate using the chains. Ensure that the sliding brackets
and the chain mount brackets are in a position to best support the transmission and all the nuts are fully tightened.
8.
Raise the gearbox into the required position underneath the vehicle and make fine adjustments to the positioning using the
adjuster screws.
9.
When the gearbox is in position and properly aligned with its fixing holes, insert all bolts finger tight before progressively
tightening them to the correct specified torque settings (See vehicle service manual).
10. Remove the safety chains (10) from gearbox and lower support away from underside of vehicle.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
Maintenance
Monthly maintenance is recommended. Lubrication is critical to transmission jacks as they support heavy loads. Any restriction due
to dirt, rust, etc, can cause either slow movement or cause extremely rapid jerks damaging the internal components. The following
steps are designed to keep the transmission lifter well maintained and operational.
Important: Dirt is the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic units. Keep the transmission lifter clean and well lubricated to
prevent foreign matter from entering the system.
If the transmission lifter has been exposed to rain, snow, sand, or grit it must be cleaned before it is stored or used.
Important: Use only K12400 Kincrome hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine
oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerine.
Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the transmission lifter and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.
Periodically check the telescopic tubes for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
WARNING: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces.
A coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points will help to prevent rust and ensure that castors, foot pedals and pump assemblies
move freely.
If efficiency drops, purge air from hydraulic system. Refer to the Purging section on pg. 5 for instructions.
With the transmission jack in the lowest position remove the air vent screw (14) to check the hydraulic oil level. If it is not adequate,
add Kincrome K12400 hydraulic jack oil as necessary.
Insert and tighten the air vent screw. Leave the transmission jack for one hour to allow the oil to settle before purging the system.
To ensure best performance and longer equipment life replace the complete hydraulic oil annually.
With the transmission jack in its lowest position remove the air vent screw (13), lay the transmission lifter on its side and drain the
oil into a suitable container.
Ensure that no dirt gets into the system.
Set the transmission lifter in its level upright position, fill with K12400 Kincrome hydraulic jack oil.
Replace the air vent screw and purge away air from hydraulic system as described in Purging section.
It is recommended that an annual inspection be conducted by a qualified technician.
Storage
This transmission jack should always be stored in a dry location on a level surface with the saddle fully lowered and the air vent
valve closed.
