1. FEATURES
The TradeQuip "Made for the Trade" 1,000kg Transmission Lifter is designed for transmission installation and removal. It
features a universal mounting cradle that provides a wide fore and aft tilt range and a manually operated hydraulic system
with smooth hydraulic lift and descent. The hydraulic system also includes a bypass system to prevent over extension and
accidental overloading. The sturdy and stable design offers safety and security when removing and installing large and heavy
transmissions.
This 2-stage telescopic transmission lifter offers a wide range of versatility that will to help increase workshop productivity.
Designed to accommodate both large and small transmissions, this handy piece of equipment is ideal for use with 4WD and
light truck transmissions. The wide base is enhanced by the additional strut arms and heavy-duty steel swivel castors for easy
maneuvering throughout the workshop under load.
2. ASSEMBLY
Unpack the product and check contents with the exploded drawing and the parts list. Should there be any damaged or missing
parts, contact your place of purchase immediately.
1. Put two leg assemblies (9) upside down, attach them together using bolts (10), washers (5), lock washers (6) and nuts (4).
Then turnover to normal upright position, fit the four castors (7) to the legs using washers (3), lock washers (2) and nuts
(8).
2. Put the jack main body onto the centre of the legs and tighten using washers (3), lock washers (2) and bolts (1).
3. Attach the mounting brackets (18) to the jack’s main body using bolts (18), washers (6), lock washers (5) and nuts (4).
4. Attach the side supports (12) to the mounting bracket and leg assembly using bolt (11), washers (5) and nuts (4).
5. Screw the saddle kit (19) onto the top of the piston rod, then assemble the adaptor as per the exploded drawing.
3. BEFORE USE
Prior to use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged, loose,
or missing parts.
1. Following assembly and before first use leave the jack for one hour to allow the oil to settle before purging the system.
2. Loosen the air vent screw (16)
3. Bleed the hydraulic system to eliminate any air in the system by pushing down the foot operated release pedal (13) and
pumping the foot operated lift pedal (14) 15-20 times.
4. Test the jack without load by raising it to full height and then lowering the jack. Open the release valve by pushing the
release foot pedal (13) down gently to control the rate of descent.
4. OPERATION
1. Always loosen the air vent screw (16) before use.
2. Roll the transmission lifter into position and pump the lift foot pedal (14) until the transmission adaptor reaches the
desired height.
NOTE: Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended procedures for removing the load as outlined in the vehicle service
manual or repair guide.
3. Carefully centre the load on the saddle. Ensure the load's centre of gravity is centred on the saddle and the transmission
is stable and secure. Use the chains to secure the load.
NOTE: Before lowering the load check to ensure all tools and personnel are clear and it is safe to lower the load.
4. SLOWLY and CAREFULLY push the release foot pedal (13) to lower the load to its lowest position.
NOTE: The speed of lowering is controlled by pressure on the release valve. 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 valve when the load
is being lowered. The resulting overload may cause hydraulic system failure which could cause property damage
and/or severe personal injury.
5. Once the load is lowered, CAREFULLY and SLOWLY move the transmission lifter.
6. Transfer load immediately to appropriate support device for service or repair.
7. When work is complete, lower the saddle to its lowest position and tighten the air vent screw.

5. INSPECTION
• Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and
damaged, loose, or missing parts.
• The transmission lifter shall be maintained in accordance with the maintenance instructions. No alterations or
modifications shall be made to this transmission lifter.
• Inspections shall be performed in accordance with this owner’s manual.
• The transmission lifter must be inspected immediately if it is believed to have been subjected to abnormal load or shock.
• Owners and /or operators should be aware that repair of this product may require specialised equipment and knowledge
(refer to maintenance section).
6. STORAGE
This transmission lifter should always be stored in a dry location on a level surface with the saddle fully lowered and the air
vent valve closed.
7. MAINTENANCE
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Non-authorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate
the warranty.
1. The hydraulic system is closed and will normally require no maintenance.
2. The mechanical parts of the transmission lifter, such as the pedal and release should be occasionally lubricated with heavy
oil or grease.
3. Protect the transmission lifter cylinder from dirt or grit, when in the raised position. If it becomes dirty, wipe off with a
clean cloth.
4. Maintain and store the transmission lifter in a protected environment. Do not expose to rain or excess moisture.
5. Clean the transmission lifter with clean water and a damp cloth. Do not use a pressure washer near the seal, piston or
valves. Lubricate following cleaning.
6. If the transmission lifter allows a load to slowly lower on its own, you may have insufficient lifter oil or worn/damaged
seals.
• Check oil level. If the oil level is OK, contact an authorised repair facility.
• Damaged seals may be caused by overloading, or exposure to harmful condition or inappropriate use of a pressure
washer.
Note: If the transmission lifter can be pumped up to its highest position, it indicates that there is enough oil. If the lifter
fades from this position, it indicates that the problem is likely the seals.
7. To check the oil level, be sure the lifter is in its lowest position. Remove the oil filler plug. The oil level should be at the
bottom of the filler plug hole. You can visually see the oil, or test with your finger. If the oil level is low, add good quality
hydraulic lifter oil ISO VG32.
