2. Position the transmission jack directly under the transmission. Turn the release valve knob all the way in a clockwise direction
until it stops. Pump the handle, and the saddle assembly will start to rise. Raise the saddle to a height very close to the center of
balance point of the transmission, but do not touch the transmission.
3. Loosen the four bolts that secure the four fingers to the saddle. The fingers can be adjusted in and out to help position the
transmission on the saddle. Now gently raise the saddle so it supports the transmission. Adjust the four fingers in position against
the transmission, and tighten the bolts that secure the fingers to the saddle. Fore and aft saddle tilt adjustments are sometimes
necessary to properly position the transmission on the saddle. Side to side tilt positioning may be necessary for the same reason
and can be accomplished by activating the side to side tilt knob.

direction to make sure the jack's saddle and transmission do not hang up on any under vehicle components, wiring, fuel lines, etc.
Continue to lower the jack all the way down.
