before use. Observe the load at all times during
operation.

CAUTION! This product is for lifting

transmission systems and dierentials ONLY.

DO NOT use this product to suspend equipment
for prolonged periods.

1. Raise the vehicle to an appropriate height and

secure it on suitable supports (not supplied).

2. Move the jack into position beneath the vehicle.

3. Loosen the saddle tilt adjustment screws (6) and

open the strap using the ratchet (4); see 6.2
Loosening the Strap.

socket (2) clockwise to extend the lifting arm (3) until
the saddle (5) contacts the transmission system.

Important: Allow the saddle to tilt as appropriate to

seat itself rmly beneath the load.

5. Firmly tighten the saddle tilt adjustment screws to

secure the saddle in place.

6. Ensure that the load’s centre of gravity is positioned

centrally on the saddle, then carefully extend the
lifting arm a little further to transfer the weight of the
load from the vehicle to the jack.

7. Detach the transmission system from the vehicle,

ensuring that movement of the load is not
obstructed in any way.

8. Check that the saddle is securely and comfortably

holding the load and does not show signs of stress.

9. Pass the strap over the load and secure it tightly in

place using the ratchet; see 6.1 Tightening the
Strap.

10. Ensure that no one is present beneath the load and

that the load can be lowered without obstruction,
then slowly and carefully operate the drive socket
anticlockwise to lower the load to its lowest position.
