Preventative Maintenance - K-Tool KTI63502 Guide Du Propriétaire

INSPECTION AND SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Visual inspection should be made before each use of the transmission jack, checking for leaking hydraulic fluid and damaged,
loose or missing parts. Each jack must be inspected by a manufacturer's repair facility immediately if accidentally subjected to an
abnormal load or shock. Any jack which appears to be damaged in any way, found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally MUST
BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs are made by a manufacturer's authorized repair facility. It is recommended that
an annual in s pec t ion of the jack be made by a manufacturer's authorized repair facility and that any defective parts, decals or warning
labels be replaced with manufacturer's specified parts. A list of authorized repair facilities is available from the manufacturer.
Refer to parts breakdown on page 5 and 6:
1. Before using jack for the first time, some assembly is required. Place hydraulic unit in upright position and bolt legs (#39) to
base (#9) using 4 hex bolts (#44), 4 spring washers (#45), and 4 flat washers (#46).
2. Assemble each caster (#40) to leg (#39) using 4 hex bolts (#41), 4 washers (#42), and 4 nuts (#43).
3. Install saddle assembly (#47) on piston (#16) and secure with hex bolt (#48).
4. Attach 4 fingers (#S-4) to saddle (#S-2) using 4 bolts (#S-3), 4 washers (#S-6), and 4 wingnuts (#S-5).
5. NOTE: All four caster wheels may not simultaneously come in contact with the floor due to uneven floors or tolerances in mating
jack parts. This will be corrected when jack is in place and load has been applied.
6. Sometimes air can get trapped in the hydraulic system due to shipping and/or handling. An air-trapped system is identified by a
limited effective pump stroke during operation, a spongy feel to the pump or failure to extend the ram to maximum height.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO PURGE AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
a. Close the release valve knob (#17) by turning it in a clockwise direction until tight. Now turn the knob counterclockwise three
full revolutions.
b. Activate the foot pump pedal (#34) approximately 15 times.
c. Close the release valve knob (#17) and pump the ram to maximum extension.
d. Repeat steps "a" through "c" until all the air is purged from the system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Lift the vehicle to the desired work height and support the vehicle in accordance with the lift manufacturer's recommended
support procedure and all the instructions and warnings in this manual.
2. Use an under hoist stand rated greater than the weight of the engine to support the engine before unbolting the transmission from
the engine or bolting the transmission to the engine.
3. Position the transmission jack directly under the transmission. Depress the foot pedal up and down in order to raise the saddle to
a height very close to the center of balance point of the transmission oil pan but do not touch the transmission.
4. Adjust the fingers (#S-4) on the saddle so that the bent up section of the fingers will fit in the mounting flange around the
perimeter of the transmission oil pan. Once the fingers are properly positioned, tighten the wing nuts that secure the fingers to
the saddle. Slowly and gently pump the jack so the connection is made, and then secure the transmission to the jack's saddle
with the safety chain (#S-1) provided. Sometimes it is necessary to turn the fore and aft knobs, 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.
5. Make sure the safety chain (#S-1) is very tight when securing the transmission to the saddle and before raising or lowering the
transmission.
6. Remove the transmission from the engine according to instructions in the vehicle service manual.
7. Once the transmission has been disconnected from the engine, very slowly turn the release knob in a counterclockwise direction
to make sure the jack's saddle and transmission do not hang up on any under-car components, wiring, fuel lines, etc. Continue
to lower the jack all the way down.
8. When installing a transmission, follow the above instructions but in the applicable order and according to the vehicle
manufacturer's installation procedure.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to
potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury or death.
1. Always store the transmission jack in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors,
abrasive dust, or any other harmful elements. The jack must be cleaned of water, snow, sand, grit, oil, grease or other foreign
matter before using.
