! WARNING
• Read, understand, and follow all printed material provided with and on this product before use.
• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Use only on hard, level surfaces.
• Adequately support the vehicle before starting repairs.
• If loaded jack must be moved, make certain that load is secured by appropriate means, is stable, is in
the lowest possible position, is moved over a smooth, hard level surface and that the lifting platform
is level.
• Use of this product is limited to removal, installation, and transportation of automotive and light
truck transmissions, transfer cases and transaxles.
• Use only adapters / accessories provided by the manufacturer of this transmission jack.
• Use only adapters / accessories whose rated capacity is greater than the rated capacity of this jack.
• Ensure the center of gravity is center loaded on the saddle.
• Never use this device as a work/repair station. Transfer the load immediately to a suitable work station.
• No alteration shall be made to this product.
• Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
! WARNING
To avoid crushing and related injuries:
• Never work on, under or around a load supported only by hydraulic jack.
• Be alert and sober when using this product. Do not operate under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
OPERATION
Follow the instruction for removal and installation of transmission, transfer case or transaxle according to the vehicle
manufacturer's service manual.
Raise saddle assembly:
1. Close release valve by turning release valve knob clockwise firmly.
2. Insert handle into handle sleeve, then pump handle until the load is contacted.
3. Secure load with provided chains.
Ensure center gravity of load is centered on the saddle and load is stable before moving jack. An off-center
!
transmission could cause the jack to tip or flip over .
Lower saddle:
! Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. Slowly open the release valve! The more you
turn the knob counter-clockwise, the faster the load will come down. Maintain control of the rate of speed at
which the load lowers at all times!
1. Secure load to the jack with provided chain.
2. Slowly, gently turn the release valve knob counter-clockwise, never more than 1/2 full turn until the load is completely
lowered.
3. Immediately transfer the load to an appropriate work station.
4. After removing load from the jack, ensure that saddle is fully lowered to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.
!
Never use this jack as a workstation!

MAINTENANCE
Important: Use only premium grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake
fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and
the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. Premium hydraulic jack oil or equivalent recommended.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove oil filler plug.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall oil filler plug.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil filler plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
Note. Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Set jack in its level position. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil filler hole. Reinstall
oil filler plug.
4. Perform Bleeding/Venting Trapped Air procedure.
Lubrication
A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that
casters and pump assemblies move freely.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily
cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom Possible Causes
Jack will not lift load
• Release valve not tightly closed
• Load is too heavy
Jack will lift, but not maintain • Release valve not tightly closed
pressure • Hydraulic unit malfunction
Jack will not lower after unloading • Reservoir overfilled
• Linkage binding
Poor lift performance • Fluid level low
• Air trapped in system
Jack will not lift to full extension • Fluid level low
Corrective Action
• Ensure release valve tightly closed
• Consider higher capacity jack
• Ensure release valve tightly closed
• Discontinue use, contact Omega
Tech. Service
• Ensure load is removed, then drain
fluid to proper level
• Clean and lubricate moving parts
