GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
1. ALWAYS read and ensure you fully understand the following precautions
and the hazards associated with this product. Do not allow anyone who
has not read these instructions to use the jack.
2. Only use this jack for its intended purpose.
3. NEVER carry out any modifications to this product. If experiencing difficulty
of any kind consult your local dealer.
WORK AREA
1. NEVER use the jack on sloping surfaces, only on level ground. The jack
may move away slightly as soon as the tyre leaves the ground.
2. DO NOT start the vehicle engine with the jack in use.
3. This jack is for lifting only. Do not move a load using the jack as a dolly.
4. Ensure the load is taken by the full saddle and that the point of lift on the
vehicle is stong enough to support the full weight adequately.
5. Never allow children or bystanders in the area while the jack is in use.
6. NEVER work underneath a vehicle supported only by this jack. If working
under a vehicle, always use stands designed for the purpose.
7. Ensure the jack is on a firm solid base and that there is no likelihood of it
slipping when under load.
8. Ensure that all personnel are well clear of a load being raised or lowered.
SERVICING & REPAIRS
1. Check the jack for damage before use and do not use if damaged. If in
doubt, DO NOT use. Consult your local Clarke dealer.
2. ALWAYS use spare parts supplied by Clarke International. Using non-
standard parts could be extremely dangerous.
3. Ensure that the jack is properly maintained at all times and that no
corrosion or other damage is allowed to weaken any part of it.
4. When necessary, have your jack serviced or repaired by a qualified
technician using identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the jack is maintained.
5. NEVER use the jack if it has been subjected to excess load (over 2000 kg).
The jack should be removed from service immediately and fully inspected
by qualified personnel and passed as serviceable before further use.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the retaining clip , by
pressing the handle mounting
downwards and releasing the clip
from the base of the jack and
from the handle opening.
2. Undo the thumbscrew until the
lower handle can be inserted fully
into the handle socket.
• The handle has a groove which
should engage with the thumb
screw once it is re-tightened.
3. Re-tighten the thumb screw to
secure the lower handle.
4. Add the upper handle by pushing
it onto the lower handle until the
ball and socket of the handle
sections snap together.
OPERATION
Before use, visually inspect the jack for oil leaks or any other sign of damage.
Should any be apparent, have the jack inspected and repaired by a
qualified technician before use.
Ensure the vehicle to be raised is chocked and standing on firm, level ground
before manoeuvring the jack so that the saddle is directly beneath the lifting
point. Consult the vehicle handbook to determine the suitable lifting points.
USING THE JACK
1. Turn the handle fully clockwise to close the release valve, and pump the
handle to raise the saddle until it reaches the vehicle lifting point.
2. Ensure that the saddle is directly below the lifting point and there are no
obstructions to prevent a clean lift. Keep all personnel at a safe distance
before continuing to pump the handle to raise the vehicle.
NOTE: The jack may move slightly during operation. It is important
therefore, that the floor is clean and completely free from debris.

3. Position axle stands directly beneath suitable supporting points under the
vehicle, before very gently twisting the handle anticlockwise.
• This will open the release valve to lower the vehicle onto the stands. To
stop it lowering, turn the handle clockwise again. Always avoid a rapid
descent by turning the handle slowly.
4. Carefully lower the vehicle onto the axle stand, checking constantly,
preferably with an assistant, that the vehicles supporting point rests snugly
and cleanly on the axle stand, and that the stand is stable before all the
weight is taken.
NOTE: Ensure this operation is carried out under complete control. Do
not allow the load to drop suddenly as this could damage
internal components.
5. Completely remove the jack from the vehicle.
WARNING! NEVER WORK ON THE VEHICLE WHEN SUPPORTED ONLY BY A
JACK. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PRACTICE. THE VEHICLE MUST BE
SUPPORTED ON AXLE STANDS, OR SUITABLE SUPPORTS, BENEATH THE
JACKING/SUPPORT POINTS RECOMMENDED BY THE VEHICLE
MANUFACTURER. THERE SHOULD BE NO LOAD ON THE JACK.
MAINTENANCE
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
If the jack has been stored for long periods, check for oil leaks before use. If
necessary, check the oil level as follows:
1. Ensure the jack is fully lowered by turning the handle fully anticlockwise.
2. Remove the oil filler plug on the top of the ram assembly (item 32 on page
9). A broad-bladed screwdriver is required.
• The oil should be almost level with the bottom of the oil filler hole.
• Oil can be topped up using Clarke Hydraulic Oil:
Part No. 3050830 for 1 litre.
OIL REPLACEMENT
1. With the jack lowered, remove the filler plug as above. Tilt the jack onto its
side and drain the old oil into a container.
2. Return the jack upright and re-fill with hydraulic oil up to the lower rim of
the filler hole.
3. Purge any air from the system as described on the following page.
Replace the filler plug.
4. Dispose of old oil appropriately and be sure to wipe up any spillage.

PURGING AIR FROM THE SYSTEM
If air bubbles become trapped inside the hydraulic system, the efficiency of
the jack will be reduced and it may not fully support the vehicla weight. Any
air can be purged from the system as follows.
1. Turn the handle 1.5 turns counter-clockwise to allow oil to circulate freely
around the system. Remove the filler plug.
2. Pump the handle several times to purge air from the system.
3. Replace the filler plug, then turn the handle clockwise and test the jack. If
efficiency is still low, check the oil level as on page 5.
GENERAL CARE
1. Periodically lubricate the hinges, front roller and rear castors with a light oil.
2. Store in a dry location with the arm in its lowest position.
3. In the event of damage or broken components, replacements are
available from Clarke Parts & Service.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
One of the most damaging sources of environmental pollution is oil
products. Never throw away used hydraulic oil with domestic refuse or
flush it down a sink or drain. Collect all the hydraulic oil in a leak proof
container and take it to your local waste disposal site.
If disposing of this product or any damaged components, do not dispose of
with general waste. This product contains valuable raw materials and should
be taken to your local civic amenity site for recycling of metal products.
