SETUP
PlEASE REFER TO THE EXPlODED VIEW DRAWINg IN THIS
MANUAl IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY PARTS.
1 . Before using jack for the first time, some assembly is required . Place
hydraulic unit in upright position and bolt legs to base using (4)
Index #7-6 hex bolts and (4) index #7-7 lock washers .
2 . Assemble each caster to leg using (4) index #7-3 hex bolts, (4) index
#7-4 washers, and (4) index #7-5 nuts .
3 . Attach fingers to saddle using (4) index # 1-3 bolts, (4) index #1-6

IMPORTANT! bEFORE USINg...
Open reservoir vent screw index #2-32 that is located on the reservoir
and below the product label by turning the screw counterclockwise two
(2) full turns . NOTE: JACK WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY UNLESS THE
VENT SCREW IS OPENED . If the jack has been used without first
opening the reservoir vent screw or the jack has been handled or
shipped in different positions, air may be trapped in the hydraulic
system . An air trapped system is identified by insufficient incremental
pump strokes and failure to extend the telescopic rams to maximum
height .
TO PURgE AIR FROM THE HYDRAUlIC SYSTEM
1 . Make sure the reservoir vent screw index #2-32 is opened two
(2) full turns .
2 . Open the release valve knob index #3-1 two (2) full turns .
3 . Depress the release valve pedal index #6-11 while simultaneously
operating the foot pump pedal index #4-1 fifteen (15) times .
4 . Remove your feet from the pedals and close the release valve
knob index # 3-1 .
5 . Pump the jack up . If the condition seems better, repeat steps

all rams to their collapsed position . Tighten the release valve
knob index # 3-1 . Insert an allen wrench in the allen socket set
screw index #2-2 located in the side of the secondary hexagonal
cylinder nut . Slightly turn the allen wrench in a counterclockwise
direction while lightly depressing the pump pedal index #4-1 .
Continue to depress the pump pedal until the hydraulic fluid that

OPERATINg INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards . Obey all instructions to
avoid possible injury or death .
1 . Lift the vehicle to the desired work height and support the vehicle in
accordance with the lift manufacturer's recommended support
procedure and all the instructions and warnings in this manual .
2 . Use an under hoist stand rated greater than the weight of the
engine to support the engine before unbolting the transmission
from the engine or bolting the transmission to the engine .
3 . Position the transmission jack directly under the transmission .
Depress the large foot pedal up and down in order to raise the
saddle to a height very close to the center of balance point of the
transmission oil pan but do not touch the transmission .
4 . Adjust the #1-4 fingers on the saddle so that the bent up section of
the fingers will fit in the mounting flange around the perimeter of
the transmission oil pan . Once the fingers are properly positioned
tighten the wing nuts that secure the fingers to the saddle . Slowly
and gently pump the jack so the connection is made and then
secure the transmission to the jack's saddle with the safety chain
provided . Sometimes it is necessary to turn the fore and aft and side
to side tilt knobs so the saddle is in the proper alignment with the
transmission pan before securing the load to the saddle .
5 . Make sure the safety chain is very tight when securing the
transmission to the saddle and before raising or lowering the
transmission .
6 . Remove the transmission from the engine according to instructions
in the vehicle service manual .
7 . Once the transmission has been disconnected from the engine, very
slowly depress the release pedal to make sure the jack's saddle
and transmission do not hang up on any under car components,
