PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Jack is designed to be used as an aid
in the removal and installation of automotive and light
truck transmissions, transfer cases and transaxles. This
telescopic style Transmission Jack is for use under an
overhead lift or in a garage pit.
NEVER use for any purpose other than those uses
outlined above!
1. Verify that the product and application are compatible;
if in doubt, call OEMTOOLS at 1-866-458-2472.
2. Before using this product, read the operator’s manual
completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with
the product and its components, and recognize the
hazards associated with its use.
3. Wear appropriate safety gear (including heavy duty
work gloves and ANSI-approved safety goggles) during
use.
4. Ensure the Transmission Jack rolls freely. Raise and
lower the unloaded Transmission Jack throughout the
lifting range before putting into service to ensure the
pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged
parts.
5. DO NOT exceed the weight capacity of the
Transmission Jack. Make sure weight is evenly
distributed. Be aware of dynamic loading! Sudden load
movement may briefly
create excess load causing
product failure. Exceeding the maximum capacity for
this product is dangerous and can lead to serious injury
or property damage.
6. Never use this device as a work/repair station. Transfer
the load immediately to a suitable work station.
7. Always evaluate your task before using this product.
This Transmission Jack is designed to support a
transmission or a differential as individual components.
Use only as intended.
8. Assemblies such as differential with axle, or
transmission with bell housing, can be bulky and
difficult to balance. Lifting or supporting such
assemblies, even within weight limit, can create an
off-balance situation, causing the Transmission Jack
to tip over and MAY lead to serious personal injury or
property damage.
9. The load should be evenly distributed on the
Transmission Jack, and should not extend beyond the
area of the caster wheelbase. Always use the chains
provided to secure the load. If extra support is required,
safety straps (not included) can also be used to secure
the work piece.
10. Use only a hard, level and flat surface capable of
bearing the combined weight of the Transmission Jack,
the load being lifted, the operator and any tools being
used.
11. If loaded Transmission Jack must be moved, make
certain that the load is secured by appropriate means,
is stable, is in the lowest possible position, is moved
over a smooth, hard level surface, and that the lifting
platform is level.
12. If you are working and the load becomes off-balance
and/or the Transmission Jack begins to tip over,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CATCH OR LIFT THE LOAD
WHEN FALLING. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT! In this event, clear the area as quickly and
safely as possible in order to avoid injury from the
falling load, including getting hit with flying fragments.
13. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the
Transmission Jack. Check for oil leaks, Transmission
Jack operation, loose components, free rotation
and pivoting of saddle adjustment components. If a
problem occurs, have the problem corrected before
further use.
