PREPARATION Assembly (ref. Figure ) Tools required: wrench, 6mm Allen wrench, 8mm hex socket & torque wrench.. Major components included with this jack: a. Hydraulic unit Assembly; b. Saddle Assembly; c. Two base half pieces with hardware. 2. Attach either one of the two base halves to the base of the hydraulic unit, then secure using 8mm bolts and washers provided. Apply the same procedure to the other base half. Use torque wrench to tighten to 30 lb ft. Do not overtighten. 3. Place the socket of the saddle assembly onto the ram piston. Tighten set screw on the socket using 6mm Allen wrench. Before Use. Before using this product, read the operator's manual completely and familiarize yourself thoroughly with the product, its components and recognize the hazards associated with its use. 2. Verify that the product and application are compatible. 3. Press the release valve pedal to ensure that saddle is fully lowered. Remove shipping screw and replace with provided vent screw (shipping screw is located above the oil filler screw). 4. For air option model 400, pour a teaspoon of good quality, air tool lubricant into the air supply inlet of the lift control valve. Connect to air supply and operate for 3 seconds to evenly distribute lubricant. NOTICE: The Model 400 is equipped with a /4 NPT air coupler. If installing a different air coupler, use thread tape or compound on all air connections. To ensure dependable operation, install an inline air dryer and oiler. 5. Ensure that jack rolls freely. Raise and lower the unloaded jack throughout the lifting range before putting into service to ensure the pump operates smoothly. Replace worn or damaged parts and assemblies with Omega authorized replacement parts only.

PREPARATION (cont.) Venting trapped air procedure. Lower saddle to fully lowered position. 2. Unscrew upper set screw shown at right, (3 mm). Do not fully remove, loosen only enough for air to escape. 3. While screw is loose, pump jack slowly, forcing trapped air past set screw. Continue pumping until oil begins to exit vent hole. 4. Tighten vent set screw. 5. Pump to maximum saddle height, pump pedal should not continue to pump with ease when max height is reached. 6. While lowering saddle, re-release vent screw checking for oil to exit, not air. 7. Tighten vent screw. 8. If problems persist, repeat steps until all air is vented. OPERATION Follow the instruction for removal and installation of transmission, transfer case or transaxle in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's service manual. Raising saddle: Pump foot pedal or press air pump pedal (Model 400) until saddle reaches desired position. Secure load with provided chains. NOTICE: Do not attempt to operate jack by air and by foot pump simultaneously.!! WARNING: Ensure load center of gravity is centered on saddle and is stabilized before moving jack. An offcenter transmission could cause jack to tip or flip over. WARNING: Do not use this jack as a workstation. Lowering saddle:! WARNING: Clear all tools and personnel before lowering load. Engage release valve pedal slowly. Maintain control of load at all times. Apply downward pressure to the release valve pedal slowly and carefully. MAINTENANCE NOTICE: Use only good quality hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of fluid and NEVER use brake fluid, turbine oil, transmission fluid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper fluid can cause premature failure of the jack and the potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. Premium hydraulic jack oil is recommended. Changing oil NOTICE: For best performance and longest life, replace the complete fluid supply at least once per year.. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil filler screw. 2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the fluid into a suitable container. 4
NOTICE: Dispose of hydraulic fluid in accordance with local environmental regulations. 3. Set jack in its level position. Fill reservoir with 2-/2 quarts of premium hydraulic jack oil. Reinstall oil filler screw. 4. Perform Venting trapped air procedure (page 4). Lubrication. A periodic coating of light lubricating oil to pivot points, axles and hinges will help to prevent rust and assure that casters and pump assemblies move freely. 2. For air operated models 400: When used on a daily basis, air pump model should be internally lubricated before each use. Use only good quality air tool lubricant. If no in-line oiler is used, pour a teaspoon of air tool oil into the air supply inlet. Operate the jack using the air feature to fully distribute the oil. Cleaning Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily cloth. NOTICE: Do not use sandpaper or abrasive material on pump piston or ram surfaces. Storage When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Possible Causes Corrective Action Jack will not lift load Load is too heavy Consider higher capacity jack Jack will lift, but not maintain pressure Jack will not lower after unloading Poor lift performance Hydraulic unit malfunction Reservoir overfilled Fluid level low Hydraulic unit malfunction Discontinue use, Contact Omega Tech. Service Ensure load is removed, then drain fluid to proper level Ensure proper fluid level Discontinue use, Contact Omega Tech. Service Jack will not lift to full extension Fluid level low Ensure proper fluid level 5
