FUEL TANK SADDLE ADAPTER SETUP
Refer to parts breakdown on page 5:
1. Install the arm assemblies (#13) in the base assembly (#12) as shown in the exploded view drawing on page 5. Secure them in
place by screwing in the locking knobs (#11) as shown in the drawing.
2. Install the height adjustment tubes (#15) in the arm assemblies (#13) and secure them to the arm assemblies at the desired height
with the detent pins (#14).
3. The support pad assemblies (#16) have two mounting locations which enable the pads to be located in towards the center of the
adapter or further away from the center of the adapter depending on the fuel tank size and configuration. Secure the support
pad assemblies (#16) to the top holes of the height adjustment tubes (#15) with the detent pins (#14).
4. Feed the ground screw (#7) through the flat washer (#4), the electrical connector ends of both ground wires (#2), and through hex
nut (#5), and tighten the ground screw (#7) in the base assembly (#12). It may be necessary to tighten the nut (#5) up against the
electrical connectors to ensure the connectors are not loose.
INSTALLING THE FUEL TANK SADDLE ADAPTER ON UNDERHOIST TRANSMISSION JACKS
This saddle adapter is designed to fit on three types of transmission jack saddles:
TYPE 1
Some transmission jacks are equipped with the popular ratchet ad-
justment arms in their saddles: See figure 1. The center of the saddle
adapter has two rectangular shaped holes to accept two of the ratchet
arms, and the opposite ratchet arms will fit against the perimeter edge
of the center portion of the saddle adapter. Center the saddle adapter on
the jack's saddle and tighten the jack's ratchet arms against the adapter.
The lock rod (#6) can be fed through the holes at the top of two of the
ratchet arms and secured with the flat (#4) washers and wing nuts (#3) as
shown in figure 1. This secures the saddle adapter to the jack's saddle.
TYPE 2
Some transmission jacks are equipped with flat saddles with arms that
can be temporarily removed. See Figure 2. The saddle adapter can be
placed on the top of the jack's flat saddle and centered in a position
where the oval holes in the saddle adapter align with two hole locations
in the jack's saddle. The two hole locations should be directly across
from each other so the jack's saddle and saddle adapter can be secured
together with the two carriage bolts (#8), flat washers (#17) and wing
nuts (#18) provided. If the provided hardware will not work, use grade
5 hardware or the metric equivalent to secure the two plates together.
TYPE 3
Some jacks will have to have their stock saddles removed and replaced
with the adapter plate (#10) included with the saddle adapter. The
adapter plate (#10) is secured to the jack's ram by tightening the screw
(#9) at the base of the adapter plate (#10). See Figure 3. Follow the
assembly instructions for TYPE 2 jacks to secure the saddle adapter
to the adapter plate.
