5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Before use ensure you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
WARNING! Ensure you prepare vehicle correctly before attempting to use the Transmission Jack.
5.1.
POSITIONING JACK BENEATh lOAD.
Before use ensure the transmission weight and size do not exceed the capacity of the jack.
5.1.1. Ensure the vehicle from which the gearbox is to be removed is correctly positioned, raised and locked
on an appropriate lift system.
5.1.2. Ensure there are no other persons around or under the vehicle.
5.1.3. Ensure saddle is in lowest position and use handle to transport and centrally position jack beneath
vehicle transmission.
5.1.4. Hold the handles to steady the jack, operate the foot pedal and the saddle will rise (fig 3).
5.1.5. When saddle is just beneath the transmission re-adjust alignment if necessary to centralise the saddle.
5.2.
lOWERING ThE lOAD.
WARNING! Ensure the load is central and stable on the jack saddle and load is fixed in place
before attempting to lift, lower, or transport. SlOWlY turn the release valve knob anti-clockwise
(fig 4) to GENTLy lower saddle to the lowest height before attempting to transport the load.
IMPORTANT: The unit is fitted with a dead man release valve. The quicker the valve knob is turned
the more rapid the jack's descent. Ensure the jack's descent is slow and controlled to avoid the risk of
sudden dropping which could be dangerous. The valve will automatically return to the closed position
when the valve knob is released.

5.4.1.
To transport, reposition beneath a vehicle, and raise a load, reverse the procedures outlined above.
6. MAINTENANCE
