WARNING:
Vehicle must be properly and adequately supported before commencing work with this Transmission Lifter.
INTENDED USE:
Designed for the removal, installation and transportation (in the lowered
position) of passenger vehicle transmissions that areraised by an in-ground or
above-ground lift.
ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE
FEATURES
This TradeQuip “Made for the Trade” 500kg Transmission Lifter is designed for
passenger Car transmissions. Features a universal mounting cradle that
provides a 2 way tilt range and a manually operated hydraulic system with
smooth hydraulic lift and descent. The hydraulic system also includes a bypass
system to prevent over extension and accidental overloading. The sturdy and
stable design offers safety and security when removing and installing large
and heavy transmissions.
ASSEMBLY
Unpack the product and check contentswith the exploded drawing and the partslist. Should there be any damaged ormissing parts, contact your place of purchase immediately.
- Locate the two leg assemblies. Assemble them to each other, and to the base of the cylinder set using the Bolts, Spring Washers and Nuts provided. Tighten all fasteners securely.
- Locate the four swivel castor assemblies, four Nuts and four Spring Washers. Attach a castor to each of the legs in the leg sets using a Spring Washer and Nut. Tighten securely.
- Locate the saddle set. Position the saddle on top of the ram. Install nut to secure the saddle in place. Tighten securely.
- Locate the two handles. Position the handles around the reservoir. Secure in place with the four Bolts, Spring Washers and Nuts provided. Tighten securely.
BEFORE USE
- Ensure Breather Valve is open before use.
- Prior to use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged, loose, or missing parts.
- Bleed Hydraulic Transmission Lifter:
- Please note this process requires two people to safely bleed these Transmission Lifters!
- Remove the Filler Bung/Breather and if required, refill with *32 Grade Hydraulic until the oil islapping the bottom of the filler hole then replace the Filler Bung/Breather and open the Breather air vent screw.
- Begin with the Pump Pedal in the raised position. Pump the lift rams to full extension.
- At full extension resistance will be felt at the pedal and the pedal travel will stall, remove your foot from the pump pedal.
- With the Pump Pedal in the raised position, depress the Release pedal and wedge open with a suitable wedge, taking care to be clear of the lowering Lift Ram.
- With the Release Pedal wedged open, begin to pump the Pump Pedal approximately 10 times then remove the wedge from the Release Pedal.
- This will circulate the oil through the release and pressure circuits simultaneously bleeding thepump mechanism.
- If necessary, repeat the process steps 2 to 5. At this point both the Pump and Lift Ram should be free of air and the Jack ready for operation. If the pump still feels spongy or load is slow to raise, seek the services of a qualified Hydraulic repairer.
*The TradeQuip range of transmission lifts use grade 32 Grade Hydraulic Oil for the correct operation and compatibility with the seals used in their construction.
OPERATION
Warning: Vehicle must be properly and adequately supported before commencing work with this telescopic transmission lifter.
- The telescopic transmission lifter may easily be moved by gripping the ring handle and rolling it on its castors. Locate the transmission lifter under the transmission. Repeatedly press the pump pedal with your foot to raise the ram until the saddle set almost contacts the underside of the transmission. Adjust the position of the transmission lifter so that it is centred directly under the centre of gravity of the transmission.
- It is important for your safety to make a good contact point between the saddle set and the transmission. This will assure that the transmission is properly supported and balanced once removed from the vehicle and resting on the transmission lifter. Using the grips, adjust the angle of the saddle so that it is best aligned with the transmission. Press the pump pedal again until the saddle contacts and will support the weight of the transmission.
- The positions of the chains and hook screws can be adjusted using the wing nuts & bolts. Secure the transmission to thes addle by passing the chains over the top of the transmission and securing them to the hook screws. Tighten the chains by tightening the wing nuts. Double check that the transmission is safely and securely attached to the saddle set.
- Remove the bolts and fittings attaching the transmission to the vehicle and separate the transmission, as recommended by the vehicle service manual.
- Lower the transmission slightly by briefly pressing the pedal release. Recheck the transmission to ensure that it is securely and safely attached to the saddle. Make any necessary adjustments. When it is safe to do so, lower the transmission all the way by depressing the pedal release.
- Using the handle, and stabilising the transmission on the transmission lifter, roll the transmission out from under the vehicle to the work location where it will be repaired. It is ideal to have assistance when you lower and move the transmission.
Warning: The use of this transmission lifter is limited to the removal, installation, and transportation in the lowest position of transmissions and differentials. It is not designed to store transmissions or other parts. No transmission or other part should be left on the transmission lifter for an extended period of time.
INSPECTION
Prior to each use conduct a visual inspection checking for abnormal
conditions, such as cracked welds, leaks, and damaged, loose, or missing
parts.
STORAGE
This transmission lifter should always be stored with the lift ram fully
retracted in a dry location on a level surface.
MAINTENANCE
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Non-authorised
parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
-
The hydraulic system is closed and will normally require no maintenance.
-
Themechanical parts ofthe transmission lifter,such asthepedal and release should be occasionally lubricated with heavy oil or grease.
-
Protect the transmission lifter cylinder from dirt or grit, when in the raised position. If it becomes dirty, wipe off with a clean cloth.
-
Maintain and store the transmission lifter in a protected environment. Do not expose to rain or excess moisture.
-
Clean the transmission lifter with clean water and a damp cloth. Do not use a pressure washer near the seal, piston or valves. Lubricate following cleaning.
-
If the transmission lifter allows a load to slowly lower on its own, you may have insufficient lifter oil or worn/damaged seals.
- Check oil level. If the oil level is OK, contact an authorised repair facility.
- Damaged seals may be caused by overloading, or exposure to harmful condition or inappropriate use of a pressure washer.
Note: If the transmission lifter can be pumped up to its highest position, it indicates that there is enough oil. If the lifter fades from this position, it indicates that the problem is likely the seals.
-
To check the oil level, be sure the lifter is in its lowest position. Remove the oil filler plug. The oil level should be at the bottom of the filler plug hole. You can visually see the oil, or test with your finger. If the oil level is low, add good quality hydraulic lifter oil ISO VG32.
Important: Dirt is the greatest single cause of failure in hydraulic units. Keep the transmission lifter clean and well lubricated to prevent foreign matter from entering the system.-
Pivots and pins in all manual pump and release mechanisms [marked X] should be lubricated with a Light Bearing Grease or 30/40W Machine Oil to ensure long life and prevent premature wear.
-
Wheel axles and Castor ball races should be lubricated with a Light Bearing Grease or 30/40W Machine Oil to ensure long life and prevent premature wear.
-
Cradle Pins, Pivots and Threaded Adjustor Rods [marked X] should be lubricated with a Light Bearing Grease or 30/40W Machine Oil to ensure long life and prevent premature wear.
-
Pedal Type Release Mechanisms should be lubricated with a light bearing grease or 30W/40W Machine Oil.
-
* If the transmission lifter has been exposed to rain, snow, sand, or grit it must be cleaned before it is stored or used.
* Periodically check the piston rod for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth. WARNING: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces.

Any Transmission Lifter found damaged in any way or found to be worn or
operates abnormally it should be removed from service until repaired by an
authorised service agent. Owners and / or operators should be aware that
repair of this product may require specialised equipment and knowledge. Only
