RELEASE PEDAL
W/O LOAD
RELEASE PEDAL
WITH LOAD
Operating Instructions
Preparing the Vehicle for Transmission Removal or Installation
The entire vehicle must be lifted and supported (use under-hoist stands) high enough above the floor
so there is space for the jack with transmission to clear the vehicle.
IMPORTANT: It is important to know the center weight balance of the transmission. The transmission saddle should
support the center balance of transmission weight. Consult the vehicle manufacturer for information on the transmission.
Lowering the Load
There are two release pedals located beneath the pump pedal. The smaller pedal at the left is for rapid release when the
jack is not loaded. The bigger pedal, at the lower right and painted yellow, is for slow release when the jack is loaded.
To lower the jack, simply depress the desired pedal slowly. The saddle stops lowering when the operator removes foot
from the release pedal.
1. DO NOT use the jack beyond its rated capacity or for
purposes other than what were intended.
2. The jack and load may be lowered by depressing the
release pedal with your foot. Be careful not to fully
depress the release pedal when the jack is under load.
Always use the proper release pedal for
lowering the jack. Using the small pedal
incorrectly when the jack is loaded may result in equipment
and/or property damage and/or personal or fatal injury.
1. Be sure vehicle is appropriately supported before starting repairs. This jack IS NOT a load supporting device.
2. DO NOT OVERLOAD. Overloading can cause damage, failure of the jack, and/or personal or fatal injury.
3. Use only on hard level surfaces capable of sustaining the load.
4. Always use the load restraint belt, corner support bracket, and attachments to stabilize and firmly secure the
load to the saddle. Insure that the load restraint belt is tight and properly positioned to effectively harness the
load. NEVER USE THIS JACK WITHOUT A LOAD RESTRAINT BELT THAT IS STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
THE TRANSMISSION.
5. Prior to transporting the load, insure that the jack is adjusted so the saddle is in the lowest horizontal position
possible, and the load is centrally located on the saddle.
6. DO NOT modify this equipment or remove load restraint belt.
7. It is your responsibility to keep all warning labels and instruction literature legible and intact. Replacement labels
and literature are available from the factory.
8. Failure to heed these warnings may result in equipment and/or property damage and/or personal or fatal injury.

Raising the Load
1. Make sure the load to be raised is positioned properly and securely
attached to the saddle assembly with the restraint system provided.
2. Pump pedal to raise saddle to contact load. Position jack so weight of
load will be equally distributed on saddle, and adjust pitch and tilt controls
as necessary. Position corner support brackets and secure load with load
restraint belt. Make sure the load to be raised is positioned properly and
securely attached to the saddle with the restraint system provided.
Always use the load restraint belt, corner support brackets,
and attachments to stabilize and firmly secure the load to the
saddle. The belt should be used as follows: Hang the open end of the belt through
the two "U" shaped slots beneath the saddle plate. Place the belt over the load, pull
tight and engage into the buckle at the other end of the belt. Tighten the strapping and
lock the buckle.
Removing the Transmission
1. Consult the vehicle manufacturer's instructions regarding transmission removal.
2. Place the jack so the saddle assembly will lift the center balance of the transmission weight. Pump the jack up until
the saddle is close to the transmission oil pan.
3. Once the saddle is centered and positioned near the transmission oil pan, adjust the saddle base and corner support
brackets (adapters) so the flange of the transmission pan will rest on the top edge of the adapters. The adapters must
then be secured to the saddle by tightening the hex bolts. Now gently raise the saddle so the adapters are supporting
the transmission pan flanges.
4. Use the load restraint belt, corner support brackets, and attachments to stabilize and firmly secure the load to the
saddle.
5. Use the saddle plate tilt knobs, forward/backward or side-to-side tilting, to adjust the load to a proper position for
transmission removal or for alignment with the engine.
Installing the Transmission
1. After removal of the transmission it is recommended
to keep the transmission jack saddle adjustment the
same. This will help in installing the transmission into
its proper position.
2. Proceed with the installation of the transmission in
accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Maintenance Instructions
1. Lube the jack regularly. A medium weight lubricating
grease should be used on all external moving parts, such
as bearing surface, pivot points, tilt screws, etc.
2. Regularly check oil level. With the saddle fully lowered,
remove oil plug and check oil level. Fill if necessary.
3. If jack fails to operate, check oil level and/or bleed unit
before seeking service.
4. DO NOT use this jack as a wash rack when washing or
steam cleaning transmissions.
