Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack Specification

The Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack is designed to facilitate the safe and efficient removal and installation of transmissions and transaxles in a variety of vehicles. This robust piece of equipment features a hydraulic lifting mechanism capable of supporting a maximum load capacity of 800kg, ensuring it can handle a wide range of transmission sizes and weights. The jack's lifting range extends from a minimum height of 140mm to a maximum height of 725mm, providing ample clearance and adaptability for different vehicular configurations.

Constructed from high-grade steel, the Sealey 800TTJ ensures durability and longevity under frequent use in automotive workshops. It is equipped with a 360-degree rotating handle that allows precise control and ease of maneuverability, making it easier to position the transmission during installation or removal. The jack also features a saddle with adjustable brackets and safety chains, offering secure and flexible support for the transmission, thus reducing the risk of slippage or accidental dislodgement during operation.

The unit's base is fitted with four durable swivel castors, enhancing mobility and stability, and allowing technicians to move the jack smoothly into place. Its compact design ensures that it can be easily stored when not in use, optimizing space within a workshop environment. Safety is further enhanced by an integrated safety overload valve, which prevents the jack from being used beyond its rated capacity, thereby ensuring safe operation at all times. The Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack is an essential tool for professional mechanics, combining functionality, safety, and convenience in transmission handling tasks.

Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack F.A.Q.

How do I properly position the Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack under a vehicle?

To properly position the 800TTJ Transmission Jack, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and stabilized. Align the jack centrally under the transmission, adjusting the saddle to fit securely against the transmission's pan or support points. Use the tilt and height adjustments for precise placement.

What are the safety precautions when using the Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack?

Always use jack stands to support the vehicle after it's lifted. Confirm that the transmission is balanced on the jack saddle and secured with the provided safety chains. Wear appropriate safety gear and keep the work area clear of bystanders.

How can I troubleshoot if the Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack fails to lift?

Check the hydraulic fluid level and ensure there are no leaks. Inspect for air trapped in the hydraulic system; if present, bleed the system. Verify that the release valve is fully closed before attempting to lift.

What maintenance steps should I follow to ensure the longevity of my Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack?

Regularly inspect the jack for any signs of wear or damage. Lubricate moving parts and joints periodically. Check hydraulic fluid levels and replace the fluid annually to maintain optimal performance. Store the jack in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust.

How do I adjust the tilt mechanism on the Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack?

Use the tilt handle or knobs located on the side of the jack to adjust the angle of the saddle. This allows for finer positioning of the transmission during removal or installation. Ensure adjustments are gradual to maintain stability.

What should I do if the transmission jack lowers too quickly?

Check the release valve to ensure it is not overly loose or damaged. Gradually open the valve to control the lowering speed. If the issue persists, inspect the hydraulic system for potential leaks or air pockets.

Can the Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack be used for other lifting tasks?

The 800TTJ is specifically designed for transmission lifting. While it may technically support other tasks, it is not recommended due to safety concerns and the risk of improper load distribution. Always use tools designed for specific tasks.

How do I bleed air from the hydraulic system of the Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack?

To bleed air, fully open the release valve and pump the handle several times without any load on the jack. Close the valve and test by lifting a small load. Repeat if the jack continues to operate below capacity.

What weight capacity does the Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack support?

The Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack is designed to support up to 800kg. Ensure the weight of the transmission does not exceed this limit to maintain safety and prevent damage to the jack.

How often should I replace the hydraulic fluid in the Sealey 800TTJ Transmission Jack?

It is recommended to replace the hydraulic fluid every 12 months or after extensive use. Always use the manufacturer-recommended fluid type and check for any contaminants during replacement.
