PREPARATION
Assembly (refer to Figure 1)
Tools required: M16 & M18 wrench.
1. Four major parts should be included in the package:
(a) Hydraulic unit; (b) Upright Post; (c) Saddle Assembly; (d) 2 pieces of base half with hardware.
2. Attach the base halves to the upright post, then secure using threaded pins, washers and M12 nuts.
3. Attach the casters onto the base halves using M12 nuts and washers.
4. Place hydraulic unit on top of the upright post and secure with M10x25 bolts and washers.
5. Attach saddle assembly above the ram of hydraulic unit and secure using pin and spring pin provided.
6. Attach all four bracket supports onto saddle plate with bolts and wing nuts.
7. Attach saddle brackets to bracket support with provided nuts.
8. Finally, attach chains with bolts, washers, and nuts to saddle bracket.
Before Use
1. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Technical Service [phone].
2. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the
product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.
3. With ram plunger fully retracted, remove the oil ller plug. Insert the handle into the handle sleeve, then pump 6
to 8 strokes. This will help release any pressurized air, which may be trapped within the reservoir. Ensure the oil
level is just below the oil ller hole. Reinstall the oil ller plug.
4. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, turn the release valve lever:
a. Clockwise until rm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘CLOSED’ release valve position used to
raise the ram/saddle.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 2 turns from the closed position. This is the ‘OPEN’ release valve position
used to lower the ram/saddle.
5. Ensure that 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 and assemblies with authorized
replacement parts only.

OPERATION
Follow the instruction for removal and installation of transmission, transfer case or transaxle according to the vehicle
manufacturer's service manual.
Raise saddle assembly:
1. Close release valve by turning the release valve level clockwise until rm. Pump handle until saddle reaches
desired height.
2. Secure the load using the provided chains.
Ensure center gravity of load is centered on the saddle and load is stable before moving jack. An o-center
transmission could cause the jack to tip or ip over .
Lower saddle assembly:
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. Slowly engage release valve!
Maintain control of the rate of speed at which the load lowers at all times!
Open release valve by turning lever counter-clockwise, but never more than 2 full turns. Control the rate of descent
at all times. The more you open the release valve, the faster the load descends.
Never use this jack as a work station!

TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing di󰀨erent types of uid and NEVER use brake uid,
turbine oil, transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid 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 ller plug.
2. Fill until oil is level with the oil ller hole, reinstall oil ller plug.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete uid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil ller plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the uid into a suitable container.
Note. Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Set jack in its level position. Fill until oil is level with the oil ller hole, reinstall oil ller plug.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust 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.
