TRANSMISSION JACK
OPERATION
Please bleed the Transmission Jack according to
the bleeding instructions before you start using the
Transmission Jack.
1. Follow the instructions for removal and installation of
transmission, transfer case or transaxle according to
the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual.
2. Prior to initial use, jack up the saddle and, using
the release valve, attempt to lower it. This will help
you become familiar with the control functions and
Transmission Jack.
3. Once the vehicle is safely and properly secured,
position the Transmission Jack underneath the vehicle.
4. Raise the Transmission Jack by operating the foot
pump until the saddle reaches the component. After
making contact with the transmission, make sure it is
centered within the brackets on the saddle plate. Use
adjustment knobs to position the saddle base.
5. Lift the Transmission Jack slightly to transfer the weight
of the transmission from the vehicle chassis to the
Transmission Jack. Secure the chain assembly around
the component.
6. Remove transmission fasteners, freeing it from the
vehicle. Make sure there is nothing to restrict the
movement of the transmission.
7. Back transmission away to free from engine.
8. Check the saddle, making sure it is securely holding
and aligned with the transmission and not showing any
signs of stress. Carefully lower transmission and saddle
by depressing the release valve. Always lower the
saddle slowly.
9. Once the transmission has been disconnected from
the engine, very slowly operate the release pedal.
Make sure the Transmission Jack’s saddle and
transmission do not hang up on any under vehicle
components, wiring, fuel lines, etc. Continue to lower
the Transmission Jack all the way down.
10. After removal, lower the Transmission Jack to the lowest
possible point before attempting to move the jack.
WARNING
: The Transmission Jack is designed to
lift loads only for short periods of time. DO NOT use to
suspend a load for more than 30 minutes at a time.
11. To re-mount the transmission, reverse this procedure.
MAINTENANCE
BLEEDING
If the jack is not able to raise the load or raises very
slowly, follow these instructions:
1. Turn the Vent Screw (#26) counterclockwise to make it
open.
2. Use Allen wrench to open the following screw on the
foot pedal. (See Figure 1)
3. Operate the Pump Pedal (#38) until the hydraulic fluid
escapes from the screw hole and there are no air
bubbles.
4. Tighten the screw.
5. Test to see if the telescopic rams are working smoothly
or not.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 4 if the condition has not been
fully corrected.
If the jack’s telescopic rams do not raise or lower
smoothly, follow these instructions:
1. Turn the Vent Screw (#26) counterclockwise to make it
open.
2. Press the Pump Pedal (#38) until both rams are at
maximum extension.
3. Use an Allen wrench to turn the screw in the primary
cylinder nut counterclockwise 1/2 turn. (See Figure 2)
4. Press the Pump Pedal (#38) two or three times until the
hydraulic fluid escapes from the screw hole and there
are no air bubbles.
5. Tighten the screw.
6. Test to see if the telescopic rams are working smoothly
or not.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 4 if the condition has not been
fully corrected.

ADDING OIL
With saddle fully lowered, set Transmission Jack in its
upright, level position. Remove oil filler plug. Fill until oil is
level with the oil filler hole; re-install oil filler plug.
IMPORTANT
: Use only good grade hydraulic
Transmission Jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid
and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid,
motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature
failure of the Transmission Jack and the potential for
sudden and immediate loss of load.
CHANGING OIL
For best performance and longest life, replace the
complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil filler plug.
2. Lay the Transmission Jack on its side and drain the
fluid into a suitable container.
NOTE
: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with
local regulations.
3. Set Transmission Jack in its level position. Fill until oil is
level with the oil filler hole, re-install oil filler plug.
