INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing this Clarke Bottle Jack.
Beforeattemptingtousetheunit, please readthisinstruction booklet thoroughly,andfollow
all directions carefully, paying particular attention to the safety precautions. By doing so,
you will ensure the safe operation of the unit, and the safety of yourself and others around
you. You can then look forward to long and reliable service from your CLARKE Bottle Jack.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Always inspect the jack before use. Ensure that all parts are in good condition and
operating smoothly, and that no cracks or distortion is apparent. If in doubt do not use.
2. Ensure the jack is on a firm solid base, and that there is no likelihood of it slipping when
under load.
3. Ensure the load is taken by the FULL lifting head and that the point of lift on the load, is
of sufficient strength to support the full load adequately.
4. Always ensure that the load is stabilised or supported in such a way that it will not shift
during lowering or lifting operations.
5. Always use supports to stabilise the load once lifted. NEVER work on or under a load
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.
9. Do not use if an oil leak is apparent...Consult your Clarke dealer.
10. Whenever morethanonejack is used, in unison,theymust all be of thesamerating,and
be raised at the same speed, to prevent any possibility of the load slipping.
TO RAISE A LOAD
Ensure the load is chocked and stable and on firm level ground, before manoeuvring the
jack so that is directly beneath the lifting point. DO NOT rely upon the vehicle handbrake
alone to prevent vehicle movement.
Ensure the jack is on solid level ground, if not, place a suitable
piece of solid wood, of sufficient size to provide adequate
support, beneath the jack.
Locate the slotted end of the jack handle on to the pegs of the
release valve (B, fig.1) and turn fully clockwise to close the valve.
If necessary, screw out the head of the ram (A, fig.1), until it
contacts the lifting point, then locate the handle into its housing
(C, fig.1), and pump the handle so that the jack and lifting point
are in full contact. Before proceeding further, make one final
check to ensure that
• the jack is completely vertical and stable
• there are no obstacles to the lift
• all personnel are well away from the site
When satisfied, continue to pump the handle and lift the load to
your desired height.
Fig.1

TO LOWER A LOAD
With the supports removed, check to ensure that there are no personnel in the immediate
vicinity before removing the handle from its housing, and replacing it again over the pegs
on the release valve (B, fig,1)
IMPORTANT! VERY SLOWLY turn the handle anticlockwise to open the release valve, and
allow the jack to lower the load, UNDER COMPLETE CONTROL.. NEVER, under any
circumstances, jerk the valve open
MAINTENANCE
Inspect for Hydraulic leaks, and security of the lifting head. Keep all parts of the jack well
lubricated to prevent any possibility of corrosion. Store the jack in a dry place where it
cannot be attacked by the elements. Store in its fully retracted position.
If stored for long periods, inspect at least twice a year; clean, and re-oil. For servicing,
contact your CLARKE dealer, or CLARKE Service dept..
