UNPACKING & ASSEMBLING
Unpacking
Place cartons in a clear, open area such as a garage floor. Remove components
and Lay them out neatly on the work surface. Make sure all nuts, bolts,
washers, and pins are properly identified and placed safely until needed.
- Ensure all packaging materials are disposed of as per your Local council guide Lines.
Assembling the Transmission Stand
- Assembly the Swivel Castors (9) on the Support Legs (8) using lock washers and nuts provided. Tighten using a suitable wrench (not supplied).
- Assemble the Support Legs (8) (with the castors) to the Hydraulic Cylinder’s (6) base, and slightly secure with the hex bolts and lock washers provided.
- Then position the Transmission Jack on a hard level surface. Using an 8mm Hex Key (Not Supplied) tighten the hex bolts while all four castors are contacting the floor.
- Once the Transmission Jack is fully assembled, the Saddle (1 I can be placed onto the Hydraulic Ram (2) shaft.
OPERATION
Testing Operation
- Briefly test the Transmission Jack operation as follows BEFORE using to lift any load.
- Turning the Release Valve (3) counterclockwise allows the jack to be lowered. Once the Release Valve (3) is released, it will automatically return to the raising position.
- To raise the Transmission Jack, pump the Foot Pedal (7) a few times to raise the jack about halfway. If the Hydraulic Ram (2) does not begin to rise after a few pumps, check to make sure the Release Valve (3) is firmly closed.
- With the Transmission, Jack raised, turn the Release Valve (3) slowly counterclockwise to lower the Transmission Jack. A normal hissing sound may be heard as the Transmission Jack lowers and pressure in Hydraulic Cylinder (6) is released.
Preparing Work Area
Caution: Before using the Transmission Jack, it is important to prepare the
work area properly. Follow this procedure each time the Transmission Jack is
used to help prevent property damage and or serious injury.
- Thoroughly inspect the Transmission Jack for damage or wear before each use. Briefly test operation of unloaded jack before using to lift any load. If the Transmission Jack is damaged or is malfunctioning DO NOT LIFT ANY LOAD until the problem is corrected.
- Consult vehicle owner’s manual for safety precautions, Transmission weight, and location of support areas on transmission. The Working Load Limit of the Transmission Jack is 500 kg. NEVER EXCEED WORKING LOAD LIMIT OF TRANSMISSION JACK
- Clear children and others from the work area before commencing work. Another adult should be nearby for extra safety and assistance but must be clear of the vehicle as it is worked on.
- Clear obstructions from the work area. Working in tight or cluttered work areas is dangerous.
- Be sure the Transmission Jack and vehicle are on the solid, level ground such as a paved or concrete driveway or garage floor so the Transmission Jack is free to roll. Uneven or sloped surfaces create hazardous working conditions and dangerously impeded the function of the Transmission Jack.
- Plan location of Transmission Jack beneath the vehicle, making sure Transmission Jack will be contacting only the transmission area of the vehicle. Consult vehicle owner’s manual for recommended areas.\
Operation
Lifting a transmission, gearbox, or differential using the Transmission Jack
can be dangerous. This Transmission Jack is designed and intended for use by
properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not familiar with
the proper and\ safe operation of a Transmission Jack, do not use until proper
training and knowledge have been obtained.
- With the lifting arm completely lowered, roll the Transmission Jack into position beneath the Transmission of the vehicle.
- Slowly pump the Foot Pedal (7) until Saddle (1) just begins to contact the support area on the underside of transmission.
- Inspect position of Transmission Jacks Saddle (1 I making sure it is centered and properly supporting the transmission.
- Pump Foot Pedal (7) again until Saddle (1 I is firm against the transmission.
- Ensure transmission is securely attached to the Saddle (1 ), the load may slip or fall if not securely restrained.
- Unbolt the transmission from a vehicle
- Slowly turn Release Valve (3) counterclockwise to slowly and smoothly lower transmission. Excessive speed or jerky motion can cause the transmission to slip leading to property damage or personal injury.
Working on Vehicle
Any transmission is supported by a jack creates a potentially hazardous
working environment. Never place any part of your body beneath a transmission
supported by a jack. Be careful of forces applied to transmission such as
torque on a nut or bolt these forces could cause the transmission to become
unstable on transmission saddle
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
(Refer to Product Specifications for Maintenance QR code)
Lubricating
Moving parts on the Transmission Jack should be lubricated occasionally with a
light machine oil to maintain efficient operation. Apply oil to joints on lift
arm hinges, pushrods, handle base, castors, front wheels, and adjusting
screws, wipe away excess oil with a soft cloth.
Maintaining Oil Level
Important Note: When adding or replacing oil, always use Kincrome K12400
Hydraulic Jack Oil. Avoid mixing types of oil. DO NOT use Brake Fluid,
Alcohol, Glycerin, Detergent, Motor Oil or Dirty Oil, improper fluid can cause
serious internal damage to Hydraulic cylinders (6).
Adding Oil:
With Hydraulic Ram (2) fully lowered & Transmission Jack on level ground,
remove Purge Cap (4). Oil should be visible at the filler hole and should be
level with the bottom of the filler hole. If it is not, more oil will need to
be added. Add oil until it is level with the fille whole. The oil should be
level with the hole with a small amount dribbling out. Replace the purge Cap
(4) and wipe away any excess oil.
Replacing Oil:
For better performance & longevity, replace the oil once a year. To drain oil,
open Purge Cap (4) and loosen the Release Valve (3) by turning
counterclockwise. BE VERY CAREFUL not to permit dirt or foreign matter to get
into the system. Tilt the jack until all old oil has drained out, refill with
Kincrome Hydraulic Jack Oil (K12400) and reinstall the Purge Cap (4) and wipe
away any spilled fluid. Prime jack before lifting a load.
Priming/Purging Jack
If the Transmission Jack is not lifting as intended or hydraulic fluid
replacements has just been completed then the
Transmission Jack needs to be primed/bleed to ensure no air is in the
hydraulic system. Remove the Purge Cap (4), undo the Release Valve (3) and
allow the Saddle (1) to lower to the lowest position. Pump the Foot Pedal (7)
at least ten times (X10) to force air from the system. Wipe away any spilled
oil and reinstall the Purge Cap (4), tighten the Release Valve (3), and test
the unit.
Cleaning
The Transmission Jack should be wiped clean with a soft cloth only. Do not use
gasoline, kerosene, or other such solvents or any abrasive cleanser as
cleaning agents and solvents will cause deterioration of the hydraulic seals.
Storage
Before storage, twist Release Valve (3) counterclockwise to release pressure
in Hydraulic Cylinder (6). Store jack level, in a
clean environment, preferably indoors, in a dry area to protect jack from
moisture.
Repairing Jack
There are no user-serviceable parts except as outlined above. Only trained,
licensed and certified repair personnel
should attempt any repairs or replacement parts. Any modifications to the
Transmission Jack, except those performed by the manufacturer, or their
designee, will void all warranties both written and implied.
