RELEASE PEDAL
W/O LOAD
RELEASE PEDAL
WITH LOAD
Operating Instructions
Preparing the Vehicle for Transmission Removal or Installation
The entire vehicle must be lifted and supported (use under-hoist stands) high enough above the floor
so there is space for the jack with transmission to clear the vehicle.
IMPORTANT:
It is important to know the center weight balance of the transmission. The transmission saddle should
support the center balance of transmission weight. Consult the vehicle manufacturer for information on the transmission.
Lowering the Load
There are two release pedals located beneath the pump pedal. The smaller pedal at the left is for rapid release when the
jack is not loaded. The bigger pedal, at the lower right and painted yellow, is for slow release when the jack is loaded.
To lower the jack, simply depress the desired pedal slowly. The saddle stops lowering when the operator removes foot
from the release pedal.
1. DO NOT use the jack beyond its rated capacity or for
purposes other than what were intended.
2. The jack and load may be lowered by depressing the
release pedal with your foot. Be careful not to fully
depress the release pedal when the jack is under load.
Always use the proper release pedal for
lowering the jack. Using the small pedal
incorrectly when the jack is loaded may result in equipment
and/or property damage and/or personal or fatal injury.
1. Be sure vehicle is appropriately supported before starting repairs.
This jack IS NOT a load supporting device.
2.
DO NOT OVERLOAD.
Overloading can cause damage, failure of the jack, and/or personal or fatal injury.
3.
Use only on hard level surfaces capable of sustaining the load.
4. Always use the load restraint belt, corner support bracket, and attachments to stabilize and firmly secure the
load to the saddle. Insure that the load restraint belt is tight and properly positioned to effectively harness the
load.
NEVER USE THIS JACK WITHOUT A LOAD RESTRAINT BELT THAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
THE TRANSMISSION.
5. Prior to transporting the load, insure that the jack is adjusted so the saddle is in the lowest horizontal position
possible, and the load is centrally located on the saddle.
6.
DO NOT modify this equipment or remove load restraint belt.
7. It is your responsibility to keep all warning labels and instruction literature legible and intact. Replacement labels
and literature are available from the factory.
8. Failure to heed these warnings may result in equipment and/or property damage and/or personal or fatal injury.
