Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the equipment. Check for:
• loose hardware,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• visibly leaking hydraulic fluid,
• cracked or broken parts, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. Before each use and after the inspection,
thoroughly test the Jack for proper
operation prior to its actual use.
If the Jack appears not to be working properly,
follow Bleeding instructions on page 3.
3. Periodically, inject grease into the Zerk fitting on
the main platform of the Transmission Jack.
Troubleshooting
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Use caution when troubleshooting malfunctioning jack.
Stay clear of supported load. Completely resolve all problems before use.
If solutions presented in Troubleshooting guide do not solve the problem, have a qualified technician
inspect and repair jack before use. After jack is repaired: Test it carefully without a load by raising and
lowering it fully, checking for proper operation, BEFORE RETURNING JACK TO OPERATION.

with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included) until
the oil just begins to run out of the Oil Fill Hole.
