and transaxles. This telescopic style transmission jack is
for use under an overhead lift or in a garage pit.

TRANSMISSION JACK
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
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 during use, including heavy-
duty work gloves and ANSI-approved safety goggles.
4. Ensure that the jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the
unloaded 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 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 jack.
This jack is designed to support a transmission
or a differential as individual components. Use as
intended only.
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 jack to tip over and MAY
lead to serious personal injury or property damage.
9. The load should be evenly distributed on the jack,
and should not extend beyond the area of the caster
wheelbase. Always use the chain 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 on 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 the loaded 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 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, jack operation,
loose components, free rotation and pivoting of saddle
adjustment components. If a problem occurs, have the
problem corrected before further use.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
DO NOT USE A DAMAGED OR
MALFUNCTIONING JACK
14. Make sure the casters are blocked before use.
15. The Transmission Jack is not designed to lift or lower
a vehicle.
16. If in doubt about the safety of your project, we advise
you to have the work done by a professional familiar
with applicable safety practices.
ASSEMBLY
1. Attach both Legs to Support Post using (2) M10 x 100
mm Bolts, (4) M10 Washers and M10 x 1.5 mm Lock
Nuts, inserting Bolts through upper holes in Legs and
through Support Post, making sure lower holes in Legs
align with lower holes in Support Post. Do not fully tighten.
2. Install (4) M10 x 25 mm Bolts, (8) M10 Washers, and (4)
M10 x 1.5 mm Lock Nuts through lower holes in each
Leg. DO NOT fully tighten.
3. Lay assembly on its side and attach (4) Casters using
(4) M12 Lock Nuts. Securely tighten.
4. Stand unit up. Ensure Support Post is perpendicular to
the Legs, and then fully tighten all 6 Leg Bolts and Nuts.
5. Attach Ram to Support Post using (4) M12x30 mm
Bolts, (8) M12 Washers and (4) M12 Lock Nuts.
6. Attach Transmission Adapter to Ram and tighten
Clamp Bolt. DO NOT overtighten.
7. Attach Slides, Safety Blocks and Chains and adjust
as necessary.
OPERATION
1. Follow the instruction for removal and installation of
transmission, transfer case or transaxle according to
the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual.
2. Prior to initial use, jack up the Saddle and, using
the Release Knob, attempt to lower it. Doing so will
familiarize the user with the control functions and jack.
3. Once the vehicle is safely and properly secured,
position the Transmission Jack underneath the vehicle.
4. Pump the Handle to raise the jack to contact and
bear transmission weight. After making contact with
the transmission, make sure it is centered within the
brackets on the Saddle Plate. Use Adjustment Knobs
to position the Saddle Base.
5. After contact, lift the jack slightly to transfer the weight
of the transmission from the vehicle chassis to the
Transmission Jack.
6. Remove transmission fasteners, freeing it from the
vehicle. Make sure there is nothing to restrict the
movement of the transmission.
7. Back transmission away to free from engine.
8. Check the Saddle, making sure it is securely holding
and aligned with the transmission and not showing
any signs of stress. Carefully lower transmission and
Saddle by turning the Release Knob.
9. Secure the Chain tightly over the transmission and
safely move the Transmission Jack.
10. After removal, lower the jack to the lowest possible point.
WARNING: The jack is designed to lift loads only for
short periods of time. DO NOT use to suspend a load for
more than 30 minutes at a time.
11. To re-mount the transmission, reverse this procedure.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil.
Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake
fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin.
Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and
the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load.
ADDING OIL
1. With saddle fully lowered, set jack in its upright, level
position. Remove oil filler plug.
2. Fill until oil is level with the oil filler hole, reinstall oil
filler plug.
CHANGING OIL
For best performance and longest life, replace the
complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil filler plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.

or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.
NOTE: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on
these surfaces!
STORAGE
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.
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.
