• Use of this product is limited to removal, installation,
and transportation in the lowered position, of
transmissions, transfer cases, and transaxles.
• Slowly and carefully move the jack around corners
because the load could tip. Stay clear of a lifted load.

hydraulic brake fluid, or transmission oil could
damage seals and result in jack failure.
