OPERATION
Warning:
Vehicle must be properly and adequately supported before commencing work with this telescopic
transmission lifter.
1.
The telescopic transmission lifter may easily be moved by gripping the ring handle and rolling it on its castors. Locate the
transmission lifter under the transmission. Repeatedly press the pump pedal with your foot to raise the ram until the
saddle set almost contacts the underside of the transmission. Adjust the position of the transmission lifter so that it is
centred directly under the centre of gravity of the transmission.
2.
It is important for your safety to make a good contact point between the saddle set and the transmission. This will assure
that the transmission is properly supported and balanced once removed from the vehicle and resting on the transmission
lifter. Using the grips, adjust the angle of the saddle so that it is best aligned with the transmission. Press the pump pedal
again until the saddle contacts and will support the weight of the transmission.
3.
The positions of the chains and hook screws can be adjusted using the wing nuts & bolts. Secure the transmission to the
saddle by passing the chains over the top of the transmission and securing them to the hook screws. Tighten the chains
by tightening the wing nuts. Double check that the transmission is safely and securely attached to the saddle set.
4.
Remove the bolts and fittings attaching the transmission to the vehicle and separate the transmission, as recommended
by the vehicle service manual.
5.
Lower the transmission slightly by briefly pressing the pedal release. Recheck the transmission to ensure that it is securely
and safely attached to the saddle. Make any necessary adjustments. When it is safe to do so, lower the transmission all
the way by depressing the pedal release.
6.
Using the handle, and stabilising the transmission on the transmission lifter, roll the transmission out from under the
vehicle to the work location where it will be repaired. It is ideal to have assistance when you lower and move the
transmission.
Warning:
The use of this transmission lifter is limited to the removal, installation, and transportation in the lowest
position of transmissions and differentials. It is not designed to store transmissions or other parts. No transmission
or other part should be left on the transmission lifter for an extended period of time.
5.
INSPECTION
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged,
loose, or missing parts.
6.
STORAGE
This transmission lifter should always be stored in a dry location on a level surface.
7.
MAINTENANCE
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate
the warranty.
1.
The hydraulic system is closed and will normally require no maintenance.
2.
The mechanical parts of the transmission lifter, such as the pedal and release should be occasionally lubricated with heavy
oil or grease.
3.
Protect the transmission lifter cylinder from dirt or grit, when in the raised position. If it becomes dirty, wipe off with a
clean cloth.
4.
Maintain and store the transmission lifter in a protected environment. Do not expose to rain or excess moisture.
5.
Clean the transmission lifter with clean water and a damp cloth. Do not use a pressure washer near the seal, piston or
valves. Lubricate following cleaning.
6.
If the transmission lifter allows a load to slowly lower on its own, you may have insufficient lifter oil or worn/damaged
seals.
•
Check oil level. If the oil level is OK, contact an authorised repair facility.
•
Damaged seals may be caused by overloading, or exposure to harmful condition or inappropriate use of a pressure
washer.
Note:
If the transmission lifter
can be pumped up to its highest position, it indicates that there is enough oil. If the lifter
fades from this position, it indicates that the problem is likely the seals.
7.
To check the oil level, be sure the lifter is in its lowest position. Remove the oil filler plug. The oil level should be at the
bottom of the filler plug hole. You can visually see the oil, or test with your finger. If the oil level is low, add good quality
hydraulic lifter oil ISO VG32. Do not use brake fluid as brake fluid will damage the seals.
