ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE
1. FEATURES
This Telescopic Transmission Lifter is designed for lifting car and light truck transmissions. It uses a manually operated
hydraulic system with smooth hydraulic lift and descent. The height adjustability of this telescoping transmission jack makes
it great for any transmission installation or removal. Features high speed lift foot pedal and hand operated precision release
incorporating overload safety valve. Large diameter wheels for easy manoeuvrability.
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. Attach the two leg brackets to the base of the hydraulic unit using the bolts and washers provided.
2. Now attach the castor wheels to the leg brackets using the nuts and washers supplied.
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.
Bleeding Instructions:
1. ALWAYS loosen the Bung/Breather on side of hydraulic ram body before use.
2. Remove the Filler Bung/Breather and if required, refill with *32 Grade Hydraulic until the oil
is lapping the bottom of the filler hole then replace the Filler Bung/Breather and open the
Breather air vent screw.
3. With the pump pedal in the raised position turn the release valve knob anticlockwise one
complete turn (Lock Open).
4. Depress the lifting pedal 10 – 12 times.
5. Release the locked release valve knob by turning it clockwise and check performance.
6. This procedure will have circulated the oil through the release and pressure circuits
simultaneously bleeding the pump mechanism.
7. If necessary, repeat the process steps 2 to 4.
At this point both the Pump and Lift Ram should be free of air and the Jack ready for operation
If the pump still feels spongy or load is slow to raise, seek the services of a qualified Hydraulic repairer.
*The TradeQuip range of transmission lifts use grade 32 Grade Hydraulic Oil for the correct operation and compatibility with the
seals used in their construction.

4. OPERATION
Prior to use remove the Solid Plug and replace with the Air Vent Valve.
NOTE: Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommended procedures for removing the load as outlined in the vehicle service
manual or repair guide.
1. Move the Telescopic Transmission Lifter into position.
2. Turn the release valve knob clockwise fully to close the pressure valve.
3. The release valve knob is spring loaded and should automatically return to the closed position but it should always be
checked prior to use.
4. Move the foot pedal up and down to raise the lifting cradle to the desired height.
5. Secure the transmission in the cradle and detach from the vehicle.
6. Turn the release valve knob counter-clockwise slowly to lower the load.
7. Reverse this procedure when mounting the transmission.
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. 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 cradle fully lowered and the
release valve closed.
7. MAINTENANCE
Monthly maintenance is recommended. If this transmission lifter is in constant use, drain and refill with good quality hydraulic
jack oil once a year. The level of oil should be maintained to minimum of 6mm below the filler screw. Top up with quality
hydraulic jack oil eg. ISOVG32. DO NOT use brake/trans fluid or engine oil. Lubricate the wheel axles and all pivot points with
engine oil or similar lubricant every month.
Important: Use only quality grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine
oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerine. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the transmission lifter and the
potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. We recommend VG32 HYDRAULIC JACK OIL or equivalent.
Important: Dirt is the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic units. Keep the transmission lifter clean and well lubricated
to prevent foreign matter from entering the system. If the transmission lifter has been exposed to rain, snow, sand, or grit it
must be cleaned before it is stored or used.
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 and axles will help to prevent rust and ensure that castors, foot pedals and
pump assemblies move freely. Periodically lubricate the pivot points and axles with a light lubricating oil as needed.
• It is recommended that an annual inspection be conducted by a qualified technician.

Periodic maintenance is essential for the efficient operation of Manual Transmission lifts.
Pivots and pins around the hydraulic lift pump should be lubricated with a Light Bearing Grease or 30/40W
Machine Oil to ensure long life and prevent premature wear.
Wheels and Castors should be lubricated with a Light Bearing Grease or 30/40W Machine Oil to ensure
long life and prevent premature wear.
8. SERVICE & REPAIR
Any transmission lifter found damaged in any way, or found to be worn or operates abnormally should be removed from
service until repaired by an authorised service agent. Owners and / or operators should be aware that repair of this product
may require specialised equipment and knowledge. Only authorised parts, labels, decals shall be used on this equipment.
Annual inspection of the jack is recommended and can be made by an authorised repair facility to ensure that your equipment
is in optimum condition and that the equipment has the correct decals and safety labels specified by the manufacturer.
