1. Place the Transmission Jack on a clear area on the floor.
WARNING:
ALWAYS EVALUATE YOUR TASK BEFORE USING THIS JACK. This jack is
designed to support a transmission or a differential as individual components.
Assemblies such as a differential with axle, or a transmission with bell housing, can be
bulky and difficult to balance on the jack’s platform or cradle.
LIFTING OR SUPPORTING SUCH ASSEMBLIES, EVEN WITHIN THE WEIGHT LIMIT,
CAN CREATE AN OFF-BALANCE SITUATION, CAUSING THE JACK TO TIP OVER
AND LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The load should be evenly distributed on the jack, and should not extend beyond the
area of the castor wheelbase. Always use safety straps or chains to secure the load.
If you are working and the load becomes off-balance and/or the jack begins to tip over,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CATCH OR LIFT WHEN FALLING. SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY CAN BE SUFFERED! In this event, clear the area as quickly and safely as
possible in order to avoid injury from the falling load, including getting hit with flying
fragments.
IF IN DOUBT ABOUT THE SAFETY OF YOUR PROJECT, WE ADVISE YOU TO HAVE
THE WORK DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL FAMILIAR WITH APPLICABLE SAFE
PRACTICES.
