OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Prepare the fuel tank for removal according to the appropriate vehicle service manual instructions and procedure. Drain the fuel
tank into a grounded storage container.
2. Pump the jack up so the fuel tank saddle adapter is close but not touching the vehicle's fuel tank. Attach the alligator clamp at the
end of one ground wire to the transmission jack. Attach the alligator clamp at the end of the other ground wire to the lift that is
supporting the vehicle. IMPORTANT: PROPER GROUNDING IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE ALLIGATOR CLAMPS AFFIXED TO
NON-PAINTED OR NON-COATED PARTS. THE LIFT SUPPORTING THE VEHICLE MUST ALSO BE GROUNDED TO THE EARTH.
3. Adjust the saddle adapter's arm assemblies, height adjustment tubes and support pad assemblies to fit the fuel tank
configuration, and then center and balance the tank on the saddle adapter.
4. Raise the jack so the saddle adapter makes contact with the fuel tank, and make final adjustments. Make sure the locking knobs
are tight and detent pins are inserted completely through their corresponding tubes.
5. Secure the fuel tank to the saddle adapter by wrapping the two tie-down straps completely around the tank and saddle. Insert the
tie-down straps through their buckles and pull them tight.
6. Make sure the tank is free to be lowered all the way down and there are not obstructions. The jack must be lowered all the way
before the tank can be transported.
