Before use
Inspection
• Inspect the jack carefully before each use.
Ensure the jack is not damaged, excessively
worn, or missing parts.
• Do not use the jack unless it is properly lubri-
cated.
• Using a jack that is not in good clean working
condition or properly lubricated may cause
serious injury.
• Inspect the work area before each use. Make
sure it is free and clear of any potential
hazards.
Operation
Prior to first use
• After assembly, leave the jack to stand for one
hour to allow the oil to settle before purging
the system.
• 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 complete-
ly the first time and a second purge will be
required.
• Purge the hydraulic circuit to eliminate any air
in the system by turning the air vent coun-
ter 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).
Raising the jack
Warning: 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.
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.
• Pump the foot pedal until saddle reaches
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.
• Slowly and carefully turn the release handle
to the right to lower the load to its lowest
possible position.
Note: Carefully center load on the saddle. Ensure
the load’s center of gravity is centered on the
saddle and the setup is stable and secure.
Note: Before lowering load check to ensure all
tools and personnel are clear and it is safe to
lower the load.
Note: The speed of lowering is controlled by the
release handle. The more the valve is opened the
more rapidly the jack descends. Ensure the decent
is slow and controlled.
Warning: Dangerous dynamic shock loads are
created by quick opening and closing the release
handle when the load is being lowered. The result-
ing overload may cause hydraulic system failure
which could cause property damage and/or severe
personal injury.
Lowering the jack
• If necessary, carefully and slowly move the
jack.
• Transfer load immediately to appropriate
support device for service or repair.
• Note: The oil filler screw must be closed at all
times whilst operating the transmission jack.

Maintenance and lubrication
• When not in use, store the jack in a dry location
with saddle in lowest position.
• Periodically check the piston rod 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
assure that castors, foot pedal and pump
assemblies move freely. Periodically lubricate
the pivot points, axles and hinges with a light
lubricating oil as needed.
• With jack in its lowest position, remove the air
vent screw (19) to check the hydraulic oil level.
If it is not adequate, add high quality hydraulic
jack oil as necessary. Insert and tighten the air
vent screw. Then purge away air from hydraulic
system.
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, replace the complete hydraulic
oil at least once a year. With jack in its lowest
position, remove the air vent screw, lay the
jack on its side and drain the oil into a suitable
container.
Note: Ensure that no dirt gets into the system.
• Set the jack in its level upright position, fill with
approved hydraulic jack oil. Then replace the air
vent screw and purge away air from hydraulic
system.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance
with local regulations.
• When equipment efficiency drops, purge away
air from hydraulic system.
• It is recommended that an annual inspection
be done by qualified technicians.
