INTRODUCTION

Manufactured to exacting standards, strong construction for durability and suitable for general workshop applications. Spring loaded dead man’s safety release control reduces the risk of inadvertent lowering. 2-Way hydraulic unit ensures that the saddle lowers at a controlled speed at all times, even without load. Extra-large castors allow for increased maneuverability. Hydraulic units are larger than the economy models for improved performance and durability. Can be fi tted with optional Adjustable Gearbox Support – check specifi cation in the table.

ASSEMBLY

Refer to the attached Parts List
Unpack the product and check the contents. Should there be any damaged or missing parts contact your supplier immediately? Assemble wheels as in fig.1, for both sides of the jack base. Screw legs to the base of the stand and check that the stand is at a right angle to a horizontal plane, then tighten the leg screws. Place the saddle on the end of the hydraulic ram. Remove the transportation oil plug and replace it with the operating plug (identified by a hole in the plug head fig.2).

PRE-USE CHECKLIST

IMPORTANT:
Before EACH use, check jack is in sound working order, use the following list to form a habitual pre-check procedure. Check unit for the following: Damage, Distortion, Leaning, Worn or missing components. The following must also be checked:

• 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.

POSITIONING JACK BENEATH LOAD.
Before use ensures the transmission weight and size does not exceed the capacity of the jack.

• Ensure the vehicle from which the gearbox is to be removed is correctly positioned, handbrake applied and raised to allow the transmission jack to be positioned correctly.
• Ensure there are no other persons around or under the vehicle.
• Ensure saddle is in its lowest position and use handle to transport and centrally position jack beneath vehicle transmission.
• Pump the jack foot peddle and the saddle will rise (fi g.3).
• When the saddle is just beneath the transmission re-adjust alignment if necessary to centralize the saddle.

LOWERING THE LOAD

WARNING!
Ensue 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 minimum height before attempting to transport 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 knob is released.

TRANSPORTING THE LOAD

WARNING!
Ensure you have read, understood and apply Section 1 safety instructions.

• Ensure the jack saddle is fully lowered and load is fixed in place before attempting to lift, lower, or transport.
• Transport the load over level and solid ground, preferably concrete, and ensure the fl oor is swept clean beforehand.
• Be diligent in continually monitoring the load in transit. Keep all other persons at a safe distance.
• DANGER! DO NOT use on tarmacadam, or any soft surface as jack may sink or topple. Serious personal or fatal injury may result.
• DANGER! If jack tips or leans STOP WHAT YOUR ARE DOING. MOVE QUICKLY TO A SAFE DISTANCE. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD OR STEADY JACK.
• NOTE: This jack may be used with appropriate adaptors in order to handle such components as rear axle units and transfer cases that are within the weight limitations of the jack.

RE-INSTALLING A GEARBOX
To transport, reposition beneath a vehicle, and raise a load up, reverse the procedures outlined above.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT:
Only fully qualified personnel should attempt maintenance or repair. When the jack is not in use, the saddle must be in the lowest position to minimise ram and piston corrosion. Keep the jack clean and wipe off any oil or grease. Lubricate all moving parts with acid free oil. The oil cylinder is a sealed unit and must not be accessed. For service contact your authorised stockist.

WARNING!
Only a good quality Jack oil, such as SEALEY HYDRAULIC JACK OIL must be used, DO NOT use brake fluid. Before each use, follow the pre-check list to ensure components are in good working order. If any suspect item is found remove jack from service and take necessary action to remedy the problem. DO NOT use the jack if you believe it has been subjected to an abnormal load or shock. If in doubt contact your local service agent. Periodically check the pump piston and piston rod for signs of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
