SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Failure to follow these Setup Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
1. Refer to the exploded view drawing on page 5 to identify jack components.
2. Place the hydraulic power unit in an upright position. Secure the legs (#2-4) to the cylinder (Item #1-1A) with the bolts (Item #2-5), washers (#2-6)
and nuts (#1-29). Do not tighten. Install the set screw (#1-85) at the bottom of each leg receiver so the legs are firmly seated in the receivers.
3. Secure swivel casters (#2-1 and #2-7) to leg caster brackets as shown in the exploded view drawing on page 5.
4. Tighten the hardware that secures the legs (#2-4) to the cylinder (#1-1A).
5. Place the saddle assembly (RS1000SA) on the stud protruding from the top of the hydraulic unit assembly, (RS1000AHUA). Align the hole in the saddle
with the hole in the stud and secure with the bolt (#3-26) and nut (#3-27).
6. Sometimes air gets trapped in the second stage hydraulic system during shipping and/or handling. Evidence of an air bound system is a spongy feeling
during the pump operation, or the ram will not rise to maximum extension, or the ram will not rise proportionate to a full incremental pump stroke.
PURGING AIR FROM THE SECONDARY STAGE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM:
a. Turn the release valve knob in a clockwise rotation until it stops. Now turn the knob in a counterclockwise
direction two full rotations.
b. Tilt the entire jack on two caster wheels with the pump handle pointing down as shown in the accompanying
silhouette. At the same time, operate the pump handle until the loose feel of the pump is met with some resistance.
c. Turn the release valve knob in a clockwise rotation until it stops and at the same time continue pumping the handle
while lifting the jack to its upright position.
d. Pump the jack to maximum extension. Repeat steps "a" through "c" until all air is purged from the system.
7. The primary stage of the power unit is air activated. The air activated portion will also give the user many years of trouble free operation if the shop air
system is properly maintained. The shop air system must have an air regulator adjusted to the proper pressure. The system must be free from dirt and
moisture. Do not drop disconnected air lines on dirty shop floor or dirty environment and then reconnect to the jack. Contaminants in the air system
can cause the air valve to malfunction and the air cylinder to score. Contaminants and/or water found in the air cylinder voids the warranty.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Failure to follow these Operating Instructions may result in serious injury or death, and/or property damage.
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 marked "UP" to raise the jack to maximum first stage height. Pump
the handle on the hydraulic second stage 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. IMPORTANT: When applying a load to the jack's saddle, the jack's air stage ram should be either lowered all the way
down or extended all the way up and in its pressurized locked position. If a load is applied to the jack's saddle when the first stage air ram is
only partially raised, the jack's ram may drop suddenly.
4. Adjust the ratchet arms on the saddle so that the bent up section of the arms will fit in the mounting flange around the perimeter of the transmission
oil pan. Slowly and gently pump the jack so the connection is made and then secure the transmission to the jack's saddle with the tie down strap provided.
Sometimes it is necessary to turn the fore and aft and also the 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 tie down strap is very tight when securing the transmission to the saddle and before raising or lowering the transmission. After the
transmission is secured to the jack's saddle, remove the under hoist stand.
6. Remove the transmission from the engine according to instructions in the vehicle service manual.
