SADDLE TILT MECHANISM.
Adjusting the pitch and tilt of saddle will assist you to safely support and transport the gearbox.
The saddle (fig.1 c) may be tilted forward 30°, backward 15° by turning handle (A) and moved to the
left or right by turning handle (B).
NOTE: If the tilt or the travel controls do not turn easily, insert ratchet wrench into hole in control
handle and rotate accordingly (fig.1.D).

WARNING! Ensure you prepare vehicle correctly before attempting to use the Transmission Jack.
4.2.
POSITIONING JACK BENEATH LOAD.
Before use ensure the transmission weight and size does not exceed the capacity of the jack.
4.2.1. Ensure the vehicle from which the gearbox is to be removed is correctly positioned, raised and locked on appropriate lift system.
4.2.2. Ensure there are no other persons around or under the vehicle.
4.2.3. Ensure saddle is in lowest position and use handle to transport and centrally position jack beneath vehicles transmission.
