Safety Precautions
WARNING: To help prevent personal injury and/or equipment damage,
• Study, understand, and follow all safety precautions and operating instructions
before using this transmission jack. If the operator cannot read these instructions,
operating instructions and safety precautions must be read and discussed in the
operator’s native language.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1, CE EN166, AS/NZS 1337, and OSHA
standards.
• Only qualied operators may install, operate, adjust, maintain, clean, inspect, or
transport this transmission jack.
• A load must never exceed the rated lifting capacity of the jack.
• Do not lift or support the vehicle with this jack. Place support stands under the
vehicle before starting repairs.
• Only use the jack on a hard, level surface.
• Center the load on the jack saddle. Off center loads can damage the seals in the
hydraulic cylinder and cause jack failure.
• Never move the jack with a load any higher off the ground than necessary. Slowly
and carefully move the jack around corners because the load could tip. Stay clear
of a lifted load.
• Lower the jack slowly and carefully while watching the position of the load.
• Do not use this transmission jack for anything other than its intended purpose.
• No alteration shall be made to this product.
• Inspect the condition of the transmission jack before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, or
in poor condition.
• Do not use adapters with this jack unless supplied by OTC.
• Use only anti-wear hydraulic jack oil with a 215 SUS viscosity rating at 37.78° C (100° F). The use of
alcohol, hydraulic brake uid, or transmission oil could damage seals and result in jack failure.
This guide cannot cover every situation, so always do the job with safety rst.
Setup Instructions
1. Remove the transmission jack from the pallet, and attach the casters using the hex nuts provided.
2. Remove the hex nuts holding the head assembly plate, and replace them with the wing nuts provided.
3. Remove the shipping oil plug, and replace it with the vented oil plug provided.
4. The transmission jack is shipped with hydraulic oil in the cylinder reservoir. Before using the jack for the
rst time, press the release pedal to open the release valve, and operate the foot pump eight full strokes
to distribute the oil.
Operating Instructions
1. Follow the vehicle's recommended service procedure for removal of the component.
2. Position the jack under the vehicle.
3. Raise the jack by operating the foot pump until the saddle touches the component.
4. Adjust the support brackets to t the component.
5. Use the tilt crank to align the saddle with the component.
6. Finish raising the jack to the component. Secure the strap assembly around the component.

Maintenance
1. Use only anti-wear hydraulic jack oil. The use of alcohol, hydraulic brake uid, or transmission oil could
damage the seals in the cylinder and result in jack failure.
2. Check the oil level periodically:
a. Lower the jack to its lowest position.
b. Remove the ller plug.
c. Add hydraulic oil (215 SUS viscosity at 37.78° C [100° F]) until the oil level is within 50.8 mm (2 inches) to
63.5 mm (2.5 inches) of the ller hole opening.
d. Install the ller plug.
3. Lubricate the foot pump pivot points as needed with SAE 30 motor oil to prevent premature wear.
4. Keep the jack clean and well lubricated to prevent foreign matter from entering the hydraulic system.
Bleeding Air from the Jack
1. Lower the jack to its lowest position.
2. Remove the reservoir ller plug. Add hydraulic oil (215 SUS viscosity at 37.78° C [100° F]) until the oil level
is within 50.8 mm (2 inches) to 63.5 mm (2.5 inches) of the ller hole opening.
3. Remove the foot pedal and piston assembly by removing the button head screws.
4. Fill the foot pedal piston bore and rod internal spring cavity with hydraulic oil.
5. Plug the rod internal spring cavity, and quickly install the rod into the rod bore. Note: This must be done
quickly to ensure the cavities are lled with oil and not air.
6. Using the button head screws, reattach the foot pedal assembly.
7. Pump the foot pedal to extend the cylinder to a full stroke, and then retract. Repeat this two or three times.
8. Check the hydraulic oil level and add more if needed.
Inspection and Maintenance
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury,
• Only qualied personnel shall perform inspections to this transmission jack.
•Before each use, an approved inspector must inspect the transmission jack for bends, cracks,
dents, elongated holes, or missing hardware. If damage is found, discontinue use.
