Operation
Read ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Removing a Transmission
1. Once the vehicle is raised and secured on a lift, clear
the area underneath the vehicle of people and tools.
2. Roll the Jack under the transmission.
3. Engage a 1/2" Drive Ratchet or Breaker Bar
(neither one included) in the square Socket
in the Screw Rod. Rotate the Screw Rod
clockwise. Raise the Jack until the Saddle nearly
contacts the underside of the transmission.
4. Position the Jack directly under the center of gravity
of the transmission. Assure a good contact between
the Saddle and the transmission. The transmission
must be properly supported and balanced when
removed from the vehicle and resting on the Jack.
5. Loosen the Wing Nuts. Rotate the Screw Rod
clockwise and raise the Jack further until the
Saddle presses slightly against the transmission.
6. To secure the transmission to the Saddle
pass the Ratchet Tie-Down over the
top of the transmission and secure it.
See
Ratchet Tie-Down Operation
below.
7. Check that the Ratchet Tie-Down is tight and
the transmission is secure on the Saddle.
Tighten the Wing Nuts and raise the Jack until
the transmission’s weight is supported by it.
8. Remove bolts and fittings attaching the
transmission to the vehicle, as recommended
by the vehicle’s repair instructions.
9. Turn the Screw Rod counterclockwise slowly and
lower transmission slightly. Recheck that the
transmission is secure and firmly strapped to the
Saddle. Make any necessary adjustments.
10. When it is safe, lower the transmission fully
by turning the Screw Rod counterclockwise.
For safety, two people should be working
together to perform these operations.
11. Stabilize the transmission on the Jack and
roll the Jack from under the vehicle to the
repair work location. Have an assistant help
to lower and move the transmission.
Ratchet Tie-Down Operation
The Ratchet Tie-Down secures the transmission to
the Jack to prevent the transmission from falling.
Securing the Ratchet Tie-Down:
To secure the
transmission to the Jack, first pass the Strap over the
top of the transmission. The Strap must not twist or
press on any part of the transmission that might be
damaged, such as the speedometer cable fitting.
1. Pass the free end of the Strap through the
Ratchet Tie-Down behind the Reel, then
through the Slot in the Reel.
See Figure C.
Figure C: Ratchet Tie-Down Use
2. Tighten the Strap by pressing the Ratchet Handle
down repeatedly. Check that the Strap and Ratchet
Tie-Down are securely fastened before continuing.

Removing the Ratchet Tie-Down:
When
preparing to remove the Ratchet Tie-Down,
have an assistant stabilize the transmission
on the Jack to prevent it from falling.
4. To remove the Strap, pull release tab A away from
