Assembling the Saddle Assembly
WARNING! Failure to assemble the gearbox support correctly may result in serious damage and/or personal injury.
Unpack the product and check contents against the contents list.
Should there be any damaged or missing parts
1. The main support plate (1) already comes assembled (Fig 7).
2. Align the adjuster screw so that it passes through the bracket on the main support plate (1) and screws into the bracket on the
support plate (2) (Fig 8). Continue to screw the adjuster screw (3) all the way through the support plate bracket until it complete-
ly protrudes from the other side. Fit a flat washer over the end of the adjuster screw and continue to turn the adjuster screw
until the flat washer makes contact with the inside face of the opposite bracket and the end of the adjuster screw is protruding
through. Place a flat washer over the protruding end of the adjuster screw at the outside face of the bracket and tighten the
supplied bolt, to lock it into position (Fig 9).
3. Lift the main support plate and allign and feed over the hydraulic lifting arm (Fig 10) and lock into position with the
supplied bolt (Fig 11).
4. Mount the sliding brackets to the top side of the main support plate using the supplied bolts nut and washers (Fig 12), ensure the
open ends of the sliding brackets are facing each other (Fig 13).
5. Attach the 4 mounting brackets by feeding the supplied bolts through the holes on the brackets and sliding brackets (Fig 14).
Ensure all raised corners of the brackets are facing outwards (Fig 15).
6. Assemble the two chain fixings to the mounting brackets (Fig 16) with the supplied nuts, ensure there is one chain fixing on
either side of the transmission jack, once assembled, feed the chain hook through the chain fixing and lock into position with the
butterfly clip (Fig 17).
7. Lock the chain loops into the remaining ounting brackets and lock into position with the supplied washers and nuts (Fig 18).
8. Feed one chain through the chain loop assembly and lock into position (Fig 19).
9. Hook the free end of the chain over the chain hook. Your transmission jack is now ready for use (Fig 20).

OPERATION
Before first using jack carry out the following preparation:
a) Check oil level - Open release valve with handle Pressure Relief Handle (5) 1-1/2 counter-clockwise and press down on
saddle (1) to ensure piston is fully down, then remove oil filler plug (10). Oil should be level with bottom of filler hole.
Adjust level as necessary and replace oil filler plug (10).
b) Bleed system - refer to the above “Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air”.
c) Lubricate - Oil the pivots of the manual pump mechanism and the screw thread of the saddle (1) post. Put two or three
drops of air tool oil into the inlet of the air inlet (7). Connect to air supply and operate for three seconds to distribute
lubricant.
(d) Air supply - An in-line filter is recommended.
Bleeding / Venting Trapped Air
Note: Before first use, the hydraulic ram may need to be purged. Some air may intrude in the hydraulic system due to movement
during shipping. Air bubbles can become trapped inside the hydraulic system, thereby reducing the efficiency of the Jack.
Purge air from the system if efficiency drops.
1. Turn the Pressure Relief Handle (5) 1-1/2 turns counter-clockwise.
2. Remove the Oil Filler Plug (10) on the side of the Jack Reservoir.
3. Rapidly pump the Foot Pedal assembly (7) ten times to purge air from the hydraulic system.
4. Turn the Pressure Relief Handle (5) clockwise until tight.
5. Top off Jack Reservoir with a Kincrome hydraulic jack oil (K12400) and re-install the oil filler plug (10)
Removing the Gearbox
1. Removing Gearbox. Loosen all gearbox fixing bolts leaving them finger tight.
2. Raise the gearbox support close to the gearbox and adjust the angle of the support plate using the adjusting screws.
3. Position the sliding brackets and the chain mount brackets to best support and locate the transmission, ensuring that all nuts
and bolts are tightened.
4. Feed the chains (II) over the top of the gearbox and attach to the chain hooks leaving as little slack in the chains as Possible.
Fully tighten the chains using the adjusters on the chain hooks.
5. Remove all gearbox fixings. Disconnect drive shaft. Ensure that the gearbox is stable on the support. Detach gearbox and lower
away from underside of vehicle.
6. Refitting Gearbox. Secure the repaired/new gearbox to the support plate using the chains. Ensure that the sliding brackets and
the chain mount brackets are in a position to best support the transmission and all the nuts are fully tightened.
7. Raise the gearbox into the required position underneath the vehicle and make fine adjustments to the positioning using the
adjuster screws.
8. When the gearbox is in position and properly aligned with its fixing holes, insert all bolts finger tight before progressively
tightening them to the correct specified torque settings. (See vehicle service manual).
9. Remove chains from gearbox and lower support away from underside of vehicle.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of the regular operation of the tool.
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for:
a) loose hardware or housing,
b) misalignment or binding of moving parts,
c) cracked or broken parts, and
d) any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
2. Quarterly (every 3 months) –
Tool Disassembly, Cleaning, and Inspection: Have the internal mechanism cleaned, inspected, and lubricated by a qualified
technician.
3. Periodically check the hydraulic fittings for leaks. Repair if any leak is detected.
4. Periodically lubricate all moving points of the Jack.
5. The Hydraulic Ram should be kept clean, free of dirt and water, and protected from corrosion.
