SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the jack.

2. Do not allow personnel to operate the jack unless they have read these

safety precautions.

3. Ensure that the jack is in good working order. Have any damaged parts

repaired or replaced immediately. Use genuine Clarke parts only. The use

of unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the

guarantee.

4. Do not operate the jack if damaged.

5. Use the jack in a suitable, well lit work area.

6. Keep the work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated items.

7. Use the jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid soft/

unmade ground as the jack may sink in.

8. Ensure the vehicle is securely and rigidly supported.

9. Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack is in

use.

10. Ensure there are no personnel or obstructions under the vehicle before

lowering.

11. Do not stand or work under the load until it secured by suitable means.

12. Ensure when lifting, that the jack and all parts of the load can be clearly

seen.

13. Never climb on, or attempt to ride on the jack.

14. Take care not to trap fingers in the moving parts of the jack.

15. Lower the load as much as possible before moving the jack. Do not

transport loads in an elevated position.

16. Ensure that you can see the saddle and jacking point throughout the

jacking operation in case there is any relative movement.

17. Never tamper with the product or modify it in any way, as this could prove

to be dangerous and will invalidate the guarantee. Only use the product

for the purpose for which it is intended.

18. Use appropriate safety equipment, such as protective footwear, when

using this jack.

19. When replacing parts, use only those supplied by Clarke International.

20. Ensure that the jack is properly maintained and lubricated at all times, and

that no corrosion is allowed to weaken it.

21. If the jack has been subjected to an abnormal load or shock, it should be

removed from service immediately and fully inspected by qualified

personnel, and passed as serviceable, before being used again.

22. When not in use, store the jack, fully lowered, in a safe, dry, childproof area.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS ensure that the centre of gravity of the load, is centred

about the head section, before taking the full weight.

LIFTING OPERATIONS AND LIFTING EQUIPMENT REGULATIONS 1998

This jack, depending on use, may fall within the scope of LOLER. It is the

owner’s responsibility to determine whether or not it does and, if so, to comply

with any applicable requirements in LOLER, for having the jack thoroughly

examined.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

1. Take care to ensure that if hydraulic oil is spilt that it is cleaned away using

sand, or treated with absorbent granules designed for the purpose.

2. Always make every effort to contain any spillage and prevent ingress into

the local water course.

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY

Unpack the components on a clean flat area of hard standing, and ensure

that all parts are present according to the packing list, as follows:

Visually inspect all components to ensure that no damage was suffered in

transit. Any deficiencies should be reported to your CLARKE dealer

immediately.

IMPORTANT: Due to the weight of the components, we recommend that you

get assistance during assembly.

ASSEMBLY

As supplied, the ram is extended from the cylinder body with the end of the

ram loose., i.e. not connected to the framework. The correct method of

assembly is as follows:

1. Lay the jack on its side, then pull the legs together, in a scissor action, to

allow access to the fixing point for the ram end. The cylinder will pivot on its

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or [email protected]

mounting, sufficient to allow the ram to be located at ‘D’, Fig. 1. The

securing bolt may then be tightened.

2. Stand the jack upright and fit the handle as follows:

3. Unscrew the bolt, on the side of the jack handle housing, sufficient for the

grooved end of the handle to be inserted fully, and for the drive, in the end

of the handle, to engage with the tapered square end of the valve

operating connecting rod.

4. Retighten the bolt fully to secure the handle.

5. Attach the handle extension and secure with the bolt provided.

TO RAISE A LOAD

1. Ensure the load is chocked and stable, and on firm level ground, before

manoeuvring the jack so that the groove in the nose or the top of the

cylinder, whichever is to be used, is directly beneath the lifting point.

2. Turn the handle fully clockwise, then pump the handle to raise the jack, so

that contact is made with the lifting point.

3. Make one final check to ensure that there are no obstacles to the lift, and

that all personnel are well clear before continuing to pump the handle and

lift the load.

4. NEVER allow any individual to get beneath the load until it is firmly chocked

or supported on axle stands or similar supports.

TO LOWER THE LOAD

1. With the axle stands/supports removed, check to ensure that there are no

personnel in the immediate vicinity before VERY SLOWLY turning the lifting

handle anticlockwise and allowing the jack to lower the load.

WARNING: BEFORE LIFTING, ENSURE THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE

STRICTLY FOLLOWED. NO RESPONSIBILITY CAN BE ACCEPTED FOR

INCORRECT USE OF THE JACK

WARNING: PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCISSOR ACTION OF THE JACK WILL

CAUSE THE JACK TO MOVE SLIGHTLY AS IT IS RAISED AND LOWERED. IT IS

MOST IMPORTANT THAT THIS MOVEMENT IS NOT RESTRICTED IN ANY WAY.

ENSURE THE GROUND IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE JACK IS FREE

FROM DEBRIS.

MAINTENANCE

1. Always visually inspect the jack before use, to ensure that all parts are

correctly located and secure.

2. Check for cracks, deformation or other signs of damage or worn parts and

check the castors for damage. Do not use the jack unless it is perfectly

serviceable.

3. Remove any rust or corrosion and repaint for protection.

4. Ensure that decals and warning notices are in place and legible.

5. Do not leave the jack in the open, exposed to the weather.

6. Inspect for distortion of the column and locking pins, and security of all nuts

corrosion.
