• Adjust the pitch and tilt of the saddle to support the transmission unit.
• The cradle can be tilted forwards, backwards, and side-to-side by operating the screw rod (6) or turning the cradle on the jack saddle.
• Always position the angle brackets and plates to best support the transmission and ensure all nuts and bolts are retightened.
