PREPARATION

Assembly (refer to Figure 1)
Tools required: 1/4″ allen key, 3/8″ hex socket & torque wrench.

1. Three major parts should be included in the package:
   (a) Hydraulic unit Assembly;
   (b) Saddle Assembly;
   (c) 2 pieces of base half with hardware.

2. Attach
   casters to the base halves. Attach either one of the two base halves to the base of the hydraulic unit, then secure using bolts (1/2″Dx3.5″L) and washers provided. Apply the same procedure to the other base half. Use torque wrench to tighten to 30 lb.ft. Do not overtighten.

3. Attach the brackets to hydraulic unit, then attach one end of the support bar to base halft and the other end to the bracket. Secure with bolts and nuts provided. Repeat for all other three support bars.

4. Slide the handle to hydraulic unit from top, then secure with bolts and nuts provided.

5. Install the saddle brackets to the saddle. Place the socket of the saddle assembly onto the ram piston. Tighten set screw on the socket.

Before Use

1. Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Omega Technical Service 888-332-6419.

2. Before using this product, read the operator’s manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use.

3. Press the release valve pedal, ensure that saddle is fully lowered.

4. With saddle fully lowered and release valve closed, pump the operating handle. If lift arm responds immediately, jack is ready for use. If jack does not respond, follow the Bleeding/Venting instructions.

5. For air option model 42001, pour a teaspoon of good quality, air tool lubricant into the air supply inlet of the lift control valve. Connect to air supply and operate for 3 seconds to evenly distribute lubricant.
   Note: This unit is equipped with the popular 1/4” NPT air coupler. When installing a different air coupler of your choice, ensure that thread tape or compound is used when servicing connections. To ensure dependable, trouble free operation an inline air dryer and oiler is recommended.

6. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded jack throughout the lifting range before putting into service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Omega authorized replacement parts only.

Bleeding / Venting Trapped Air of a Service Jack
With the release valve in the OPEN position (3b.) and with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil filler plug. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Reinstall the oil filler plug.

WARNING

• Read, understand, and follow all printed material provided with and on this product before use.
• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Use only on hard, level surfaces.
• Adequately support the vehicle before starting repairs.
• If loaded jack must be moved, make certain that load is secured by appropriate means, is stable, is in the lowest possible position, is moved over a smooth, hard level surface and that the lifting platform is level.
• Use of this product is limited to removal, installation, and transportation of automotive and light truck transmissions, transfer cases and transaxles.
• Use only adapters / accessories provided by the manufacturer of this transmission jack.
• Use only adapters / accessories whose rated capacity is greater than the rated capacity of this jack.
• Ensure the center of gravity is center loaded on the saddle.
• Never use this device as a work/repair station. Transfer the load immediately to a suitable work station.
• No alteration shall be made to this product.
• Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING
To avoid crushing and related injuries:

• Never work on, under or around a load supported only by hydraulic jack.
• Be alert and sober when using this product. Do not operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

OPERATION

Follow the instruction for removal and installation of transmission, transfer case or transaxle according to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual.

Raise saddle assembly:
Pump foot pedal or press air pump pedal (Model 42001) until saddle reaches desired position. Secure load with provided chains.
Note: DO NOT OPERATE BY AIR AND BY FOOT PUMPING AT THE SAME TIME.
Ensure center gravity of load is centered on the saddle and load is stable before moving jack. An off-center transmission could cause the jack to tip or flip over .

Lower saddle:
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. Slowly engage release valve pedal!
Maintain control of the rate of speed at which the load lowers at all times!
Slowly, gently apply downward pressure to the release valve pedal.
Never use this jack as a workstation!

MAINTENANCE

Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. Premium hydraulic jack oil or equivalent recommended.

Adding oil

1. With saddle fully lowered, set jack in its upright, level position. Remove oil filler plug.
2. Fill until oil is level with the oil filler plug hole, reinstall oil filler plug.

Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.

1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil filler plug.

2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container.
   Note. Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local regulations.

3. Set jack in its level position. Fill until oil is level with the oil filler plug hole, reinstall oil filler plug.

Lubrication

1. A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that casters and pump assemblies move freely.
2. For air option models 42001: When used on a daily basis, air pump model should be internally lubricated before each use. Use only good quality air tool lubricant. If no inline oiler is used, pour a teaspoon of air tool oil into the inlet of the air supply inlet. Simply operate the jack using the air feature in order to fully distribute the oil.

Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth.
Note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!

Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Consider higher capacity jack
Jack will lift, but not maintain pressure| • Release valve not tightly closed
• Hydraulic unit malfunction| • Ensure release valve tightly closed
• Discontinue use, Contact Omega Tech. Service
