SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. This jack is for lifting only, do not move a load using the jack as a dolly.

2. Always inspect the jack before use. Make sure that all parts are in good

condition and operating smoothly, and that no cracks or distortion is apparent.

If in doubt do not use. Have the parts replaced or consult your CLARKE dealer.

3. Make sure that the jack is on a firm solid base, and there is no possibility of it

slipping when under load.

4. Make sure the load is taken by the full saddle and that the point of lift on the

load, is of sufficient strength to support the full load adequately.

5. Always use axle stands to stabilise the load once lifted. NEVER work on or under

aload unless it is fully and adequately supported. NEVER rely upon the jack to

hold the load in position.

6. Never push a load off the jack.

7. Ensure that all personnel are well clear of a load being raised, or lowered.

8. NEVER exceed the rated load for the jack (See “Specifications” on page 3.).

9. Do not use if an oil leak is apparent. Consult your Clarke dealer.

10. Consult the vehicle handbook to determine the correct lifting points.

oil available from your local dealer.

LUBRICATE INTERNAL COMPONENTS

1. Open the release knob.

2. Pump the handle several strokes to ensure proper internal lubrication.

BLEED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

During transportation, the jack may become "air-bound" causing spongy ram

action.

TO BLEED THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM -

1. Close the release valve by turning

release knob clockwise.

2. Remove the cover as shown.

3. Remove the transport plug.

4. Pump the handle to raise the jack

up to full height,

5. Install the air vent plug (supplied).

6. Replace the cover.

OPERATION

POSITIONING

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

1. Release the handle lock as shown on the right.

2. Turn the release knob counterclockwise, to lower

the lifting ram

3. Position the jack so that the saddle is directly

beneath the lifting point and that there are no

obstacles to prevent a clean lift, also, make sure

that all personnel are well away from the area,

before raising the vehicle.

TO LIFT

1. Close the release valve by turning the release

knob clockwise firmly.

2. Operate the jack by pumping the jack handle or foot pedal

• Make sure that the saddle is in full contact with the lifting point and that

there are no obstacles to prevent a clean lift.

3. Place axle stands beneath the vehicle.

• Ensure the axle stands are centred about the support point and

perfectly stable before full weight is taken.

• Ensure that the axle stands are in good condition and fully capable of

supporting the load.

• Ensure that the axle stands cannot move when supporting the load.

• DO NOT jerk the handle, ensure it lowers slowly and under complete

control on to the axle stands which must be correctly positioned and

take the weight evenly.

TO LOWER

1. Lift the vehicle slightly to remove the weight from any supports,

2. Remove any supports from beneath the vehicle.

3. Open the release valve by SLOWLY turning the release knob counterclockwise.

NOTE: Ensure this operation is carried out under complete control. DO NOT

allow the load to drop suddenly as this could damage internal

components.

4. Remove the jack from beneath the vehicle.

NOTE: The jack may move slightly during operation. It is important therefore

that the immediate vicinity is clean and completely free from debris.

MAINTENANCE

1. When the jack is not in use, keep the ram completely retracted and the release

valve closed.

2. Keep the jack clean and apply lubricating oil to all pivoting sections every

three months, or more often when it is used in a dusty work environment.

3. Frequently check oil level. For procedure See “Before use” on page 5..

4. Check the pump piston and piston rod periodically for signs of rust or corrosion.

Clean exposed area with clean oiled cloth.

5. Change the oil once a year, see below.

STORAGE

Store in a dry place, with the ram fully retracted. If stored for long periods,

inspect at least once a year, clean and re-oil. For servicing, contact your

CLARKE dealer, or CLARKE International Service Department.

2. Lift off the cover as shown.

3. Remove the air vent plug.
