PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ATD Tools hydraulic transmission jacks are designed to be used as an aid in the removal and installation of automotive and light truck transmissions, transfer cases and transaxles. They are intended for use under an overhead lift or in a garage pit. This jack meets or exceeds ASME-PALD standards. Ensure the air source can dedicate 7.8 CFM 90-175 psi. To ensure dependable, trouble free operation an inline air dryer and oiler is recommended.

CAUTION: READ CAREFULLY BEFORE UNPACKING PRODUCT.

WARNING

• Study, understand, and follow all printed materials provided with/on this product before use.
• Do not exceed rated capacity use only on hard, level surfaces capable of supporting rated capacity loads.
• Use of this jack is limited to the removal, installation and transportation of transmissions, transfer cases and transaxles. Do not use a transmission jack to tilt or support a vehicle.
• Ensure the center gravity of load is centered on the saddle.
• Do not exceed 10′ tilt angle of the saddle assembly in all directions.
• Adequately support the vehicle before starting repairs
• Use only chains and slings provided.
• If loaded jack must be moved, make sure that the load is secured, stable and in lowest position.
• This is a lifting and lowering device only.
• Transfer load immediately to appropriate support device for service or repair.
• No alterations shall be made to this product
• Failure to heed these markings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
  

Note: Vent Screw and Oil Filler Screw are located on the upper portion of the reservoir.

ASSEMBLY

Refer to Figure 1 & 2

1. Three major parts should be included in package: (a) Hydraulic unit with pumping mechanism (with air motor equipped) (b) Saddle assembly (c)2 pieces of base half with bolts and washers
2. Attach one of the base halves to the base of the hydraulic unit, then secure using bolts and washers provided. Then apply the same procedure to the other base half. Do not tighten until step 4.
3. Assemble swivel casters to the leg caster brackets
4. Now tighten the bolts from the base halves to the hydraulic unit. Use torque wrench to tighten to 30 ft.-lbs.
5. Install the saddle assembly onto the cylinder arm.
6. The hydraulic power unit is equipped with two reservoir fill screws. The closed filler screw is installed in the reservoir at the factory so the jack will not leak during shipment.

BEFORE USE

1. Inspect jack before each use. Do not use if bent, broken or cracked components are noted. Ensure that casters move freely. Check for and tighten any loose assemblies.
2. Verify that the product and the application are compatible.
3. With ram fully lowered, remove oil filler screw to bleed air in the reservoir.
4. Ensure oil level is just below the rim of the oil filler screw hole. Reinstall the oil filler screw.
5. Pour teaspoon of good quality air tool lubricant into the air supply inlet (See Figure 2). Connect to air supply and operate for 3 seconds to evenly distribute lubricant.
6. Your ATD-7434A is fitted to accept the popular 1/4″ NPT air nipple. When installing air nipple, ensure thread sealing compound is used on connections. Be careful not to allow compound to enter the air supply inlet orifice. Application of thread tape is acceptable, but ensure that is it not applied beyond the first machine thread.

Raise Saddle:
Caution! Do not operate your AlD-(434A jack by pumping the lift pedal and pressing the air pump pedal at the same time.

1. Pump foot pedal or press air pump pedal until the saddle reaches the desired position.
2. Follow vehicle manufacturer’s recommended procedures for removing the load as outlined in vehicle service manual or repair guide.
3. Secure load with provided chains.
4. Ensure load’s center of gravity is centered on the saddle and load is stable before moving jack.

Lower Saddle:
Caution! Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. Slowly, gently apply downward pressure to the release valve pedal.

OPERATION

When disassembling the transmission, position the transmission jack under the transmission. Depress the foot pedal to raise the saddle to a height close to the center of the balance point of the transmission oil pan but do not touch the trans- mission. Adjust the ratchet arms on the saddle so that the angled section of the arms will fit in the mounting flange around the perimeter of the transmission oil pan. Slowly pump the jack to raise the saddle to fully connect the transmission. Secure the transmission to the jack’s saddle with the safety chains provided. If necessary, turn the fore and aft and side to side tilt knobs so the saddle is in the proper alignment with the transmission pan before securing the load to the saddle.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the tie down strap is very tight when securing the transmission to the saddle and before raising or lowering the transmission. Remove the transmission from the engine according to the instructions in the vehicle service manual. Once the transmission has been disassembled from the engine, very slowly depress the release pedal to lower the transmission all the way down.

IMPORTANT: Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before lowering load. Slowly depress release valve pedal. When installing a trans- mission, refer to the above instructions and the vehicle manufacturer’s installation manual.

WARNING
To avoid crushing and related injuries NEVER work on, under or around a load supported only by a jack. Immediately transfer the load to an appropriate work station.

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. We recommend Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent.
Periodically check for leaks at air connections. Replace connections as needed.

Adding oil:

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

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

1. With saddle fully lowered, set jack in its upright, level position. Remove the oil filler screw.

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

3. Set jack in its level, upright position and fill with oil until just below the rim of the filler hole.

4. Reinstall the oil filler screw.

Lubrication:

1. A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that wheels, casters and pump assemblies move freely.
2. When used on a daily basis, the ATD-7434A 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 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

Purging air from the hydraulic system:
Air can accumulate within a hydraulic system during shipment or after prolonged use This entrapped air causes the jack to respond slowly or feel “spongy.” Use the steps below to bleed the system.

1. Pump the jack to the highest point where the first and the second piston rams are both at maximum height.
2. Get the help of another person to keep the release pedal depressed, and activate the foot pedal about 20 times.
3. Let go of the release pedal; the air in the oil system should be bled successfully.

To bleed the air in the second cylinder:

1. Locate the air bleeder screw at the top nut, which is on the top of the first piston rod.
2. Pump the jack to its maximum height. Use an Allen socket wrench to loosen the air bleeder screw for no more than two 360 turns. Push the saddle assembly downward to force the air in the cylinder out until nothing but oil drains out of the bleeder hole.
3. Tighten the bleeder screw and double check. It may be necessary to repeat the above steps several times.

Storage: When not in use, store the jack with saddle in lowest position and air supply disconnected.
