Parts List & Operating Instructions
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and damage to equipment,
•
Read, understand, and follow all instructions, including the ANSI B30.1 safety code for jacks.
•
If the operator cannot read English, operating instructions and safety precautions must
be read and discussed in the operator's native language.
– Si el operador no puede leer inglés, las instrucciones de operación y las precauciones de
seguridad deberán leerse y comentarse en el idioma nativo del operador.
– Si l'utilisateur ne peut lire l'anglais, les instructions et les consignes de sécurité doivent
lui être expliquées dans sa langue maternelle.
•
Wear eye protection that meets the requirements of ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA.
•
Inspect the jack before each use; do not use the jack if it's damaged, altered, or in poor
condition.
•
Before using the jack for the first time, perform the setup procedure outlined below to
correctly set the lowering and raising speed of the jack.
•
A load must never exceed the rated lifting capacity of the jack.
•
Only use the jack on a hard, level surface.
•
Never move the jack with a load any higher off the ground than necessary. Slowly and carefully move the
jack around corners because the load could tip.
•
Do not modify the jack or use adapters unless approved or supplied by OTC.
•
Lower the jack slowly and carefully while watching the position of the load.
•
Use only approved hydraulic fluid (Chevron AW Hydraulic Oil MV or equivalent). The use of alcohol,
hydraulic brake fluid, or automatic transmission fluid (ATF) could damage seals and result in jack failure.
This guide cannot cover every situation, so always do the job with safety first.
WARNING: The raising and lowering speeds of the
metering valves must be adjusted correctly before using the
jack the first time. If the valves are not adjusted correctly, the
jack could drop down too quickly under load, and personal
injury and/or equipment damage could occur as a result of the
loss of load.
Before using the transmission jack for the first time:
1. Close both metering valves (raising and lowering) by turning
them clockwise (CW).
2. Attach the air supply.
3. Set the lift speed by fully depressing the UP pedal and SLOWLY
turning the raising air metering valve counterclockwise (CCW)
until a comfortable speed is reached. Tighten the locking nut
behind the valve screw by turning it clockwise (CW) until tight.
4. To set the lowering speed, it is necessary to place a load on the
jack.
5. Fully depress the DOWN pedal and SLOWLY turn the lowering
metering valve counterclockwise (CCW) until a comfortable speed
is reached. Tighten the locking nut behind the valve screw by
turning it clockwise (CW) until tight.
