Assembly
The angles and chains are pre-assembled on the angle bar.
Install the angle bar assembly onto the saddle plate.
model MTJF1000 (see Fig 2):
Tools required: 16mm wrench.
1. Remove the M10 nuts & lock washers (A) from the of angle
bar.
2.
Place the angle bar to on slot of the saddle plate (B)
, adjust
to desired position then tighten the nut & lock washer (A).
3. Repeat for the other angle bar.

Before Use
1.
Verify that the product and application are compatible, if in doubt call Matco Tools Technical Service (866) BUY-
TOOL.
2. 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.
3. To familiarize yourself with basic operation, locate and turn the release valve knob (see Fig 1):
a. Clockwise until rm resistance is felt to further turning. This is the ‘CLOSed’ release valve position used to
raise the saddle plate.
b. Counter-clockwise, but no more than 1/2 a turn from the closed position. This is the ‘OPen’ release valve
position used to lower the saddle plate.
4. With saddle fully lowered, remove the oil ller plug. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized
air which may be trapped within the reservoir. Check oil level. Proper oil level will vary from just covering the ram
cylinder to 3/16” above it as seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall the oil ller plug.
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 Matco Tools
authorized replacement parts only.
Bleeding / venting Trapped Air
With the release valve in the OPEN position (3b.) and with saddle fully lowered, locate and remove the oil ller
plug. Pump 6 to 8 full strokes. This will help release any pressurized air which may be trapped within the reservoir.
Reinstall the oil ller plug.
Paint contains lead!
DO NOT sand or grind painted surface!

OPeRATIOn
Follow the instruction for removal and installation of transmission, transfer case or transaxle according to the vehicle
manufacturer's service manual.
Raise saddle assembly:
1. Close release valve by turning release valve knob clockwise rmly.
2. Insert handle into handle sleeve, then pump handle until the load is contacted.
3. Secure load with provided chains.
Ensure center gravity of load is centered on the saddle and load is stable before moving jack. An off-center
transmission could cause the jack to tip or ip over.
Lower saddle:
Be sure all tools and personnel are clear before
lowering load. Slowly open the release valve! The more
you turn the knob counter-clockwise, the faster the load will come down. Maintain control of the rate of
speed at which the load lowers at all times!
1. Secure load to the jack with provided chain.
2. Slowly, gently turn the release valve knob counter-clockwise, never more than 1/2 a turn until the load is completely
lowered.
3. Immediately transfer the load to an appropriate work station.
4. After removing load from the jack, ensure that saddle is fully lowered to reduce ram exposure to rust and
contamination.
Never use this jack as a workstation!
To avoid crushing and related injuries:
•
never work on, under or around a load supported only by hydraulic jack.
• Be alert and sober when using this product. Do not operate under the
inuence of drugs or alcohol.

MAInTenAnCe
Important: Use only good grade hydraulic jack oil. Avoid mixing different types of uid and NEVER use brake uid,
turbine oil, transmission uid, motor oil or glycerin. Improper uid can cause premature failure of the jack and the
potential for sudden and immediate loss of load. Mobil DTE 13M or equivalent recommended.
Adding oil
1. With saddle fully lowered set jack in its upright, level position. Locate and remove oil ller plug.
2. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall oil ller plug.
Changing oil
For best performance and longest life, replace the complete uid supply at least once per year.
1. With saddle fully lowered, remove oil ller plug.
2. Lay the jack on its side and drain the uid into a suitable container.
note. Dispose of hydraulic uid in accordance with local regulations.
3. Set jack in its level position. Fill with oil until ~3/16" above the inner cylinder as seen from the oil ller hole. Reinstall
oil ller plug
.
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.
Cleaning
Periodically check the pump piston and ram for signs of rust or corrosion. Clean as needed and wipe with an oily
cloth.
note: Never use sandpaper or abrasive material on these surfaces!
Storage
When not in use, store the jack with saddle fully lowered.
