SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is adequate lighting.
DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the transmission jack, as this may be dangerous
and will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING! Do not allow untrained persons to operate the transmission jack and do
not operate the transmission when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Do not attempt to lift a load greater than that which the jack was designed: The
maximum load capacity is 0.5 ton.
DO NOT use this transmission jack as a vehicle lifting device or as a vehicle support.
INSPECT THE JACK BEFORE EACH USE: DO NOT use with bent, broken, cracked, leaking
or other damaged parts; If any suspect parts are noted or the jack has been subject-
ed to a shock load, have the jack checked by a suitably qualified person before re-
suming operation.
NEVER move this jack with a load any higher off ground than necessary and move it
slowly and carefully.
NEVER stand on the transmission jack, or use it as a ‘ladder’.
Transfer the load immediately to appropriate support device for service or repair.
Always wear the appropriate safety equipment, such as CE approved safety glasses,
during operation.
Keep proper balance and footing, do not overreach and wear non-slip footwear.
Ensure the load is properly and adequately supported before starting repairs.
Centre the load on the saddle and be sure the setup is stable and secure.
Danger: Never lift a load greater than that which the transmission jack
was designed (0.5 Ton), overloading can lead to personal injury or
damage to the jack or load.
Caution: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-

TROUBLESHOOTING
9
Before using the transmission jack have a visual inspection to make sure there are no
oil leaks or damage etc.
Roll the transmission jack into position.
Ensure that the oil filler / air release screw is fully closed.
Pump the foot pedal to the desired height.
Carefully centre the load on the saddle; Ensure the centre of gravity of the load is
centred on the saddle and the setup is stable and secure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Danger: Never load a weight greater than that which the transmission
jack was designed for (0.5 Ton), overloading can lead to personal injury
or damage to the jack.
PRIOR TO FIRST USE
After assembly, leave the jack to stand for one hour to allow the oil to settle before
purging the system.
Purge the hydraulic circuit to eliminate any air in the system by turning the air vent
counter clockwise by one turn, turn and hold the release valve handle to the right and
then pumping the foot pedal 15 to 20 times.
Retighten the air vent screw and release the handle.
Test the jack, with no load, by raising it to full height and then lowering it (see below).
Note: Failure to allow sufficient time for the oil to settle could result in air
remaining in the oil. In this event, the jack will not purge completely the
first time and a second purge will be required.
RAISING / LOWERING THE JACK
Warning! Ensure that you read, understand and apply all safety instruc-
tions and warnings before use. Failure to heed these instructions may
result in property damage and/or personal injury.
Note: Before lowering the load check to ensure all tools and personnel
are clear and it is safe to lower the load.

10
Note: The oil filler screw must be closed at all times whilst operating the
transmission jack.
MAINTENANCE
SLOWLY and CAREFULLY turn the release valve handle to the right to lower the
load to its lowest possible position.
Note: The speed of descent is controlled by the release valve handle;
The more the valve is opened the more rapidly the jack descends. En-
sure the decent is slow and controlled.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Warning! Dangerous dynamic shock loads are created by opening and clos-
ing the release valve handle too quickly when the load is being lowered. The
resulting overload may cause hydraulic system failure which could cause prop-
erty damage and/or severe personal injury.
If necessary, CAREFULLY and SLOWLY move the jack.
Transfer the load immediately to appropriate support device for service or re-
pair.
Periodically check the piston for signs of rust or corrosion; Clean exposed areas with a
clean oiled cloth.
Warning: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
A coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent
rust and ensure that castors, foot pedal and pump assemblies move freely. Periodi-
cally lubricate the pivot points, axles and hinges with a light lubricating oil as needed.
With the jack in its lowest position, remove the air vent screw to check the hydraulic oil
level. If it is not adequate, add high quality hydraulic jack oil as necessary. Refit and
tighten the air vent screw. Then purge air from hydraulic system as described in “PRIOR
TO FIRST USE” on page 9.
11
MAINTENANCE….cont
Warning: Do Not use brake fluid or any other improper fluid and avoid
mixing different types of oil when adding hydraulic oil.
To ensure best performance and longer equipment life, completely replace the hy-
draulic oil at least once a year.
With the jack in its lowest position:
Remove the oil filler / air vent screw and, lay the jack on its side.
Drain the oil into a suitable container.
Note: Ensure that no dirt gets into the system.
Set the jack in its level upright position and fill with approved hydraulic jack oil.
Then replace the air vent screw and purge away air from hydraulic system as
described in “PRIOR TO FIRST USE” on page 9.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations.
When equipment efficiency drops, purge air from hydraulic system as described in
“PRIOR TO FIRST USE” on page 9.
It is recommended that an annual inspection be done by qualified technicians.
When not in use, store the jack in a dry location with saddle in lowest position.
