SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• 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 warranty.
• Operate the jack in a suitable, well lit work area.
• Keep the work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated items.
• Use the jack on level and solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid
soft/unmade ground as the jack may sink in.
• Ensure the vehicle handbrake is engaged, the engine/motor is
switched off and the transmission is in 1st or reverse gear. (or park for
automatics)
• Ensure a minimum distance of 0.5 m between vehicle and static
objects such as doors, walls, etc, to allow for the vehicle tilting.
• Only place the jack under those lifting points recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer (see vehicle handbook).
• Check the lifting point is rigid and centred on the jack saddle.
• Ensure there are no passengers in the vehicle.
• Place chocks under the wheels of the vehicle.
• Ensure all non-essential persons keep a safe distance whilst the jack
is in use.
• Use suitable capacity axle stands under the vehicle before
proceeding with any task.
• Ensure there are no personnel or obstructions under the vehicle
before lowering.
•Use the jack for lifting only, NOT for supporting the vehicle.
• Take care not to trap fingers in the moving parts of the jack.
•Do not operate the jack if damaged.
•Do not work under the vehicle until axle stands have been correctly
positioned.
•Do not allow personnel to operate the jack unless they have read
these safety precautions.
•Do not use the jack for purposes other than that for which it is
designed.

any visible damage to welds, saddle, frame and all parts including
pins and other fasteners. If any suspect item is found remove jack
from service and take necessary action to remedy the problem.
• Do not use the jack if believed to have been subjected to abnormal
