2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATION
the 800GTA Telescopic Transmission Jack has been manufactured to a high specification and is equipped with telescopic two-stage hydraulic
ram for greater range, precise load control and rapid lift. A foot operated pump system for raising and lowering allows you to use both hands to
position the saddle under the gearbox. It is equipped with a wide base and with swivel ball bearing caster wheels, for stability and
manoeuvrability.
The saddle tilts 12Oleft, 12Oright and 40+Oforward and backward for precise alignment.

DANGER! DO NOT use on tarmacadam, or any other soft surface as jack may sink or topple. Serious personal or fatal injury may result.
Use jack in a suitable working area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure there is adequate lighting.
Before use ensure the gearbox weight and size does not exceed the capacity of the jack.
Ensure the vehicle is raised and stabilised at the correct height before attempting to move the jack under the vehicle.
Keep all unauthorised persons away from the jack during lifting, lowering and when transporting the gearbox on the saddle.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Remove ill fitting cloths. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery, and contain and/or tie back long hair.
pWARNING! Ensure load is placed level and centrally on jack saddle and load is fixed in place before attempting to lift, lower, or transport.
Lowering speed will vary according to the weight of the load and the release valve setting.
pWARNING! Always use load restraint chains, corner support bracket, and attachments to
stabilise and secure the load to saddle.
Ensure the chain is tight and correctly positioned to effectively harness the load.
Always transport the jack with the saddle fully down in lowest position.
Diligence is required in ensuring that you continually monitor the operation until completed.
If jack emits any abnormal sounds during use, STOP! and contact your local service agent.

800GTA - 0016 - (1) - 150799
IMPORTANT: BEFORE FIRST USING JACK PURGE AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT.
Before using the jack for the first time, purge the hydraulic circuit in order to eliminate any air that may have
accumulated in the system during transit, as follows:
1. Remove transit screw (fig.1.016) and replace with attached air bleed screw (017).Retain transit screw
for future use.
2. With ram fully retracted depress and hold down release pedal (020), then pump foot pedal (002) for
about 20 strokes (assistance will be required).
3. If jack does not operate correctly after this then raise ram as far as possible and loosen bleed screw (053)
in top cylinder nut. Push ram down, to expel any air, until oil appears from bleed screw. Tighten screw.
5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1. SADDLE TILT MECHANISM.
Adjusting the pitch and tilt of saddle will assist you to support and transport the transmission safely.
The saddle (fig.2. A) may be tilted left or right 12Oby turning knob B and forward or backward 40+Oby
turning C.
The saddle brackets D can be adjusted, on slotted holes, to give a saddle width from 225 to 330mm.
pWARNING! Ensure you prepare vehicle correctly before attempting to use the transmission jack.
p p
p
WARNING! Before use ensure you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
5.2. TO POSITION JACK BENEATH LOAD.
Before use ensure the transmission weight and size does not exceed the capacity of the jack.
5.2.1. Ensure the vehicle from which the gearbox is to be removed is correctly positioned, raised and locked on appropriate lift system.
5.2.2. Ensure there are no other persons around or under the vehicle.
5.2.3. Ensure saddle is in the lowest position and use handle (014) to move and centrally position jack beneath gearbox.
5.2.4. Check the release pedal is fully closed, and pump foot pedal to raise saddle to the load.
5.2.5. When the saddle is just beneath transmission re-adjust alignment if necessary to centralise saddle.
5.2.6. Position so that the load weight will be equally distributed on saddle, and adjust pitch and tilt controls (fig.2) to suit gearbox.
5.2.7. Position, adjust and tighten corner support brackets and secure load.
pWARNING! Never put transmission on the saddle by lowering the vehicle. Always raise jack to transmission.

5.3. LOWERING THE LOAD.
p p
p
WARNING! Ensue the load is central and stable on the jack saddle before attempting to lower.
SLOWLY depress the release pedal (fig.1. 020) to GENTLY lower the saddle to minimum height before attempting to transport the load.
QIMPORTANT: Speed of lowering is controlled by amount you depress the pedal. The more the pedal is depressed the more rapid the
saddle descent. Ensure the descent is slow and controlled to avoid the risk of sudden dropping.
5.4. TRANSPORTING THE LOAD.
p p
p
WARNING! Ensure you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
5.4.1. Ensure the jack saddle is fully lowered, then secure the load by placing the support chains over the load, pull taut and engage with
hook on opposite side of the saddle. Tighten wing nut.
5.4.2. Transport the load over level and solid surface, preferably concrete, and ensure the floor is swept clean.
5.4.3. Be diligent in continually monitoring the load in transit. Keep all other persons at a safe distance.

5.5. RE-INSTALLING A TRANSMISSION.
To transport, reposition beneath a vehicle, and raise a load up, reverse the procedures outlined above.
6. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair.
6.1. When the jack is not in use, the saddle must be in the lowest position to minimise ram and piston corrosion.
6.2. Lubricate moving parts with acid free oil, and grease the tilt mechanism. Wipe excessive oil and grease off and keep jack clean.
6.3. Check hydraulic oil regularly with the saddle in the lowest position.
a) Remove air bleed screw (fig.1.017) and add oil via screw hole.
b)The hydraulic oil should be changed once a year. Contact your authorised dealer for information.
p p
p
WARNING! Use only good quality jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL. DO NOT use brake fluid as this will melt seals.
6.4. Before each use check for any visible damage to welds and ensure components are not damaged, broken, cracked, bent, malfunctioning,
distorted, worn, loose, leaking, dirty, noisy or missing (see Section 4). If any suspect item is found remove jack from service and take
necessary action to remedy the problem.
DO NOT use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock. Inspect and take appropriate action.
6.5. Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
