Before use
Inspection
• Inspect the jack carefully before each use.
Ensure the jack is not damaged, excessively
worn, or missing parts.
• Do not use the jack unless it is properly lubri-
cated.
• Using a jack that is not in good clean working
condition or properly lubricated may cause
serious injury.
• Inspect the work area before each use. Make
sure it is free and clear of any potential
hazards.
Operation
Prior to first use
• After assembly, leave the jack to stand for one
hour to allow the oil to settle before purging
the system.
• Note: Failure to allow sufficient time for the oil
to settle could result in air remaining in the oil.
In this event, the jack will not purge complete-
ly the first time and a second purge will be
required.
• Purge the hydraulic circuit to eliminate any air
in the system by turning the air vent coun-
ter clockwise by one turn, turn and hold the
release valve handle to the right and then
pumping the foot pedal 15 to 20 times.
• Retighten the air vent screw and release the
handle.
• Test the jack, with no load, by raising it to full
height and then lowering it (see below).
Raising the jack
Warning:
Never load a weight greater than that
which the transmission jack was designed for (0.5
Ton), overloading can lead to personal injury or
damage to the jack.
Before using the transmission jack, have a visual
inspection to make sure there are no oil leaks or
damage etc.
• Roll the transmission jack into position.
• Pump the foot pedal until saddle reaches
desired height.
• Carefully centre the load on the saddle; ensure
the centre of gravity of the load is centred on
the saddle and the setup is stable and secure.
• Slowly and carefully turn the release handle
to the right to lower the load to its lowest
possible position.
Note:
Carefully center load on the saddle. Ensure
the load’s center of gravity is centered on the
saddle and the setup is stable and secure.
Note:
Before lowering load check to ensure all
tools and personnel are clear and it is safe to
lower the load.
Note:
The speed of lowering is controlled by the
release handle. The more the valve is opened the
more rapidly the jack descends. Ensure the decent
is slow and controlled.
Warning:
Dangerous dynamic shock loads are
created by quick opening and closing the release
handle when the load is being lowered. The result-
ing overload may cause hydraulic system failure
which could cause property damage and/or severe
personal injury.
Lowering the jack
• If necessary, carefully and slowly move the
jack.
• Transfer load immediately to appropriate
support device for service or repair.
• Note:
The oil filler screw must be closed at all
times whilst operating the transmission jack.
