THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the
exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and operation
of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualied in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use. Examples of
hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other
than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• Inspect before each use. Do not use jack if damaged, altered, modied, in poor condition, or has loose or missing hardware or
components. Take corrective action before using the jack.
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity.
• Use only on a hard, level, clean and dry surface capable of supporting the load.
• This jack was designed for lifting transmissions only.
• Do not attempt any work until vehicle is supported by jack stands and any tires touching the ground are chocked.
• Use this jack only with adapters and load restraints provided. Use of this jack is limited to the removal, installation, and transportation (in
the lowered position) of transmissions and transfer cases.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Do not lift or support the vehicle with this jack.
• Secure the load to the jack. Only attachments and/or adapters supplied by the manufacturer shall be used.
• Always lower the jack slowly and carefully.
• Make sure the ground, work area, and clearance under the vehicle are free from obstructions or any hindrances that would prevent easy
maneuverability of the jack and transmission under the vehicle.
• This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands thoroughly after handling.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT AVOIDING HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
Failure to read this manual completely and thoroughly, failure to understand its OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY WARNINGS,
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS and comply with them, and failure to comply with the METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS could
cause accidents resulting in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the SETUP INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
PLEASE REFER TO THE EXPLODED VIEW DRAWING IN THIS MANUAL IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1. Refer to the exploded view drawing on page 5 to identify jack components.
2. The #3-7 and 3-13 brackets must be installed in the #3-8 saddle plate with the #3-6 bolts, #3-9 washers and #3-10 wing nuts as shown in
the exploded view drawing.
3. The #3-4 chains must be attached to the #3-7 brackets as shown in the exploded view drawing and secured to the brackets with
the #3-1 bolts, #3-2 washers, #3-3 lock washers and #3-5 nuts provided.
4. Assemble the #3-16 chain hooks to the #3-15 adaptor bolts with the #3-14 wing nuts as shown in the drawing.
5. Secure the #3-15 adaptor bolts to the two remaining #3-13 brackets using the #3-12 washers and #3-11 nuts.
6. Air may get trapped in the hydraulic system during freight and handling.
PURGING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
a. Rotate the knob at the top of the hydraulic block in a clockwise direction until tight.
Now turn it in a counterclockwise direction two full turns.
b. Activate the hand pump #1-45 about 15 times.
c. Rotate the knob at the top of the hydraulic block in a clockwise direction until tight.
d. Activate the hand pump until the lift arm is raised to maximum height. You should experience a full pump stroke with each
incremental pump.
e. If it does not feel your are getting a full incremental pump stroke at anytime during the pumping operation, repeat steps "a" through
"d" until all air is purged from the system.
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. Lift the vehicle to the desired work height, and support the vehicle in accordance with the lift manufacturer's recommended lifting
and support procedures.
2. Position the transmission jack directly under the transmission. Turn the release valve knob all the way in a clockwise direction
until it stops. Pump the handle, and the saddle assembly will start to rise. Raise the saddle to a height very close to the center of
balance point of the transmission, but do not touch the transmission.
3. Loosen the four bolts that secure the four brackets to the saddle. The brackets can be adjusted in and out to help position the
transmission on the saddle. Now gently raise the saddle so it supports the transmission. Adjust the four brackets in position
against the transmission, and tighten the wing nuts that secure the brackets to the saddle. Fore and aft saddle tilt adjustments are
sometimes necessary to properly position the transmission on the saddle. Side to side tilt positioning may be necessary for the
same reason and can be accomplished by activating the side to side tilt knob.
4. The chains should be pulled over the center of balance portion of the transmission and secured on the chain hooks. Rotate the
#3-14 wing nuts to take up the slack in the chain and secure the transmission to the saddle.
5. Remove the transmission from the engine according to instructions in the vehicle service manual.
6. Once the transmission has been disconnected from the engine, very slowly turn the jack's release knob in a counterclockwise
direction to make sure the jack's sa ddle and transmission do not hang up on any undertruck components, wiring, fuel lines, etc.
Continue to lower the jack all the way down.
7. Remember to secure the transmission to the saddle before installing, and follow the vehicle manufacturer's installation instructions.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any
other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand or grit before using.
2. The jack must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to all
zerk grease ttings, caster wheels, elevator arm, handle base pivot bolts, release mechanism and all other bearing surfaces.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE (CONT.)
3. It should not be necessary to rell or top off the reservoir with hydraulic uid unless there is an external leak. An external leak requires
immediate repair which must be performed in a dirt-free environment by qualied hydraulic repair personnel who are familiar with
this equipment.
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent seal damage and jack failure, never use alcohol, hydraulic brake uid or transmission oil in the jack. Use
NAPA hydraulic Jack Oil #765-1541.
4. Every jack owner is responsible for keeping the jack labels clean and readable. Use a mild soap solution to wash external surfaces of the
jack but not any moving hydraulic components. Contact NAPA for a replacement label if your jack's label is unreadable.
5. Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use the jack if any component is cracked, broken, bent, shows sign of damage or leaks hydraulic
uid. Do not use the jack if it has loose or missing hardware or components, or is modied in any way. Take corrective action before using
the jack again.
6. Do not attempt to make any hydraulic repairs unless you are a qualied hydraulic repair person that is familiar with this equipment. Repairs
must be performed by an authorized service center.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM ACTION
1. Unit will not lift load. Purge air from hydraulic system by following procedure
