6. Avoid moving parts on the jack. Keep fingers, hands, and arms away from moving  
parts of the jack at all times.  
7. Secure load. Secure the load with a safety chain before lowering or moving.  
8. Use jack on hard surfaces only. The jack is designed for use only on hard, level  
surfaces capable of sustaining the load. Using the jack on a soft surface can result in  
jack instability and possible loss of load.  
9. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let  
them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.  
10. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit  
rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.  
11. Do not force tool. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was  
intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool  
capacity.  
12. Use the right tool for the job. The use of this jack is limited to the removal,  
installation, and transportation (in the lowered position), of transmissions and  
differentials.  
13. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in  
moving parts. Protective, electrically nonconductive clothes and nonskid footwear are  
recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.  
14. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles.  
Wear a full face shield if you are producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI  
approved dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical  
dusts and mists.  
15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or  
across running machines.  
16. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer  
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool  
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician.  
The handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.  
17. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches  
are removed from the tool or machine work surface before plugging it in.  
18. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool  
when you are tired.  
19. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged  
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its  
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts  
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part  
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do  
not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.

20. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical  
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories  
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor Freight  
Tools.  
21. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning  
labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while  
taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.  
22. Comply with safety warnings. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may  
cause loss of load, damage or failure of the jack, or personal injury and property  
damage.  
Unpacking  
When unpacking, check to make sure the following parts are included. If any parts are  
missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover of this  
manual. If any part of the machine is missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at  
the number on the front cover as soon as possible.  
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 OFYOUR PROJECT, WE ADVISE YOU TO HAVE  
THE WORK DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL FAMILIAR WITH APPLICABLE SAFE  
PRACTICES.  
Assembly  
Before installing the angle brackets (#30), claws (#27), and chain (#26) to the base panel  
(#24), refer to parts breakdown illustration on the last page. Verify all necessary parts for  
assembly are in the parts bag.

2. Place the angle brackets (#30) on each side of the base panel (#24) as shown below.  
3. Insert the bolts (#30A) up through the bottom of the base panel (#24), and then the  
washers and nuts onto the bolts as they protrude through the angle brackets (#30).  
Adjust to desired width then tighten nuts thoroughly.

4. Mount each claw (#27) on the inside of the angle brackets (#30) using bolts (#48), nuts  
(#49), and washers, as shown in the illustrations. Nuts and washers should be on the  
inside. Adjust distance to desired cradle width for the transmission, then tighten.  
5. Insert the key ( #28 - where chain is temporarily attached) into the upper claw (#27)  
hole from the outside.  
6. Place the washer and nut on the other end of the key (inside claw) and tighten.  
7. Bolt the chain (#26) to the outside of the diagonally opposite claw (top hole).  
8. Remove the plastic cap on the Air Valve (#9) before operating the jack. Failure to do so  
may cause improper jack operation.  
Operation  
1. Turn the Pressure Valve Knob (#6) counterclockwise to open, lowering tranmission  
saddle. Turn Pressure Valve Knob clockwise to close.  
2. With the vehicle properly secured and raised to the correct height to remove the

Maintenance  
The hydraulic cylinder assembly contains hydraulic fluid that must be kept approximately  
80% full at all times for proper operation. To check the level and refill, follow these steps.  
Note: The hydraulic cylinder has a capacity of 8.4 ounces of hydraulic fluid.  
Adding Hydraulic Fluid  
1. Turn the Pressure Valve Knob (#6) counterclockwise to allow saddle to lower  
completely.  
2. Remove the Air Valve (#9) by unscrewing. (Keep screw in a safe place)  
3. Visually inspect the inside of the air valve opening. The hydraulic fluid must be 80% of  
the capacity of the hydraulic cylinder.  
4. Fill with clean hydraulic fluid only.  
5. Replace Air Valve.  
Bleeding Air from the Hydraulic System  
1. Place jack in a clear floor area.  
2. Turn the Pressure Valve Knob (#6) counterclockwise to allow saddle to lower  
completely and release pressure.  
3. Unscrew Air Valve (#9) 1/2 turn counterclockwise.  
4. Hold the saddle down while moving the Pump Handle (#11) up and down several  
times.  
5. Tighten the Air Valve.  
Seal Replacement  
0-rings and seals can be purchased if you need to have your jack serviced. Take the jack to  
a qualified mechanic along with the 0-rings and seals. The Transmission Jack cannot be  
user serviced.
