5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. The vehicle to be lifted should never exceed the rated capacity of the jack.
2. The maximum stroke of the jack indicated on the label should never be exceeded.
3. The jack should be supported on a solid, level and horizontal surface which is well illuminated
and free of obstructions. Never stand the jack on a surface which may sink.
4. Ensure that there are no persons inside the vehicle to be lifted. Switch off the engine and
apply the brake. Ensure the vehicle or element to be lifted against any type of sliding. Use
chocks if appropriate (1). Do not enter the vehicle or start the engine whilst it is supported on
the jack or appropriate stands. The jack is a lifting device only and should never be used to
move the vehicle.
5. During raising and lowering of the load, all precautions should be taken to avoid movement of
the vehicle load. Traffic may cause the raised vehicle to rock during roadside use of the jack.
6. The jack should be positioned so as to avoid the need for the user to introduce any part of
his/her body underneath the vehicle. Never work under a raised vehicle without supporting it
with axle stands (5) or other appropriate methods. Never position any part of your body near
the movable elements of the jack.
7. It is necessary for the operator to be able to observe the lifting device and the load during all
movements. In the presence of dangerous conditions, such as movement of the vehicle, etc,
the lifting process must be interrupted.
8. Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions underneath the vehicle prior to lowering.
9. As an additional safety measure against overload, the jack is fitted with an overload valve set
at the factory and which should not be adjusted under any circumstances. If the capacity of
the jack is exceeded, the overload valve will stop the lifting operation.
Caution:
• Use only on a firm, level surface, concrete is preferred.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of this jack.
• This is a lifting device only ... do not work under the vehicle without proper support devices,
such as axle stands.
• Make sure that the lifting point is stable and correctly centred on the jack saddle.
• Familiarize yourself thoroughly with this manual before operating to prevent damage to the
jack, property, or personal injury.

9.1 SADDLE TILT MECHANISM.
Adjusting the pitch and tilt of the saddle will assist in safely supporting and transporting the
gearbox. The saddle base may be tilted forwards and backwards, left or right by turning
saddle tilt controls .
Warning: Ensure that the vehicle is prepared correctly before attempting to use the Transmission
Jack. ALWAYS REFER TO THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURE.
9.2 POSITIONING THE JACK BENEATH LOAD.
Before use, check to ensure that the transmission's weight and size do not exceed the capacities
of the jack.
1. Ensure that the vehicle from which the transmission is to be removed is correctly positioned,
raised and locked on an appropriate lift system.
2. Ensure that there are no other persons around or under the vehicle.
3. Ensure saddle is in it's lowest position, and use the handle to transport and centralise the jack
beneath the vehicle's transmission.
4. Close the jack release valve by turning the knob clockwise.
5. Pump the jack handle up and down repeatedly to raise the saddle.
6. When the saddle base is just beneath the transmission, re-adjust the alignment if necessary,
to centralise the saddle base.
7. Adjust the saddle tilt controls if required for final positioning of the saddle base.
8. Position and attach the safety chains correctly for further security.
9. Raise the saddle further to support the transmission. Remove the transmission from the
vehicle - Refer to vehicle manufacture.
10. Ensure that the load is secure before proceeding to lower it.
9.3 LOWERING THE LOAD
Warning: Ensure the load is central and stable on the jack saddle before attempting to lower the
load. SLOWLY turn the release valve knob is anti-clockwise to GENTLY lower the saddle to
the minimum height before attempting to transport the load.
Important: Speed of lowering is controlled by the release valve. The further 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 very dangerous.
