TRANSMISSION JACK
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
1. Verify that the product and application are compatible;
if in doubt, call OEMTOOLS
™
at 1-866-458-2472.
2. Before using this product, read the operator’s manual
completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with
the product and its components, and recognize the
hazards associated with its use.
3. Wear appropriate safety gear during use, including heavy-
duty work gloves and ANSI-approved safety goggles.
4. Ensure that the jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the
unloaded jack throughout the lifting range before
putting into service to ensure the pump operates
smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts.
5. DO NOT exceed the weight capacity of the jack. Make
sure weight is evenly distributed. Be aware of dynamic
loading! Sudden load movement may briefly create
excess load causing product failure. Exceeding the
maximum capacity for this product is dangerous and
can lead to serious injury or property damage.
6. Never use this device as a work/repair station. Transfer
the load immediately to a suitable work station.
7. Always evaluate your task before using this jack.
This jack is designed to support a transmission
or a differential as individual components. Use as
intended only.
8. Assemblies such as differential with axle, or
transmission with bell housing, can be bulky and
difficult to balance. Lifting or supporting such
assemblies, even within weight limit, can create an
off-balance situation, causing jack to tip over and MAY
lead to serious personal injury or property damage.
9. The load should be evenly distributed on the jack,
and should not extend beyond the area of the caster
wheelbase. Always use the chain to secure the load. If
extra support is required, safety straps (not included)
can also be used to secure the work piece.
10. Use only on a hard, level and flat surface capable
of bearing the combined weight of the Transmission
Jack, the load being lifted, the operator and any
tools being used.
11. If the loaded jack must be moved, make certain
that the load is secured by appropriate means, is
stable, is in the lowest possible position, is moved
over a smooth, hard level surface and that the lifting
platform is level.
12. If you are working and the load becomes off-balance
and/or the jack begins to tip over, DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO CATCH OR LIFT THE LOAD WHEN FALLING.
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT! In this
event, clear the area as quickly and safely as possible
in order to avoid injury from the falling load, including
getting hit with flying fragments.
