✔ENSURE that the jack is properly maintained, and lubricated at all times, and that no
rust or other forms of corrosion is allowed to weaken any part of it.
✔ENSURE the operator is skilled and trained in both operation and safety aspects.

UNPACKING AND PREPARATION FOR USE
The jack comes fully assembled. It is necessary only to remove the travel plug,
fitted to the Ram, and replace it with the Vent Plug provided. Fig. 1 shows the Vent
Plug fitted at ‘A’.
OPERATION Ref: Figs. 1 & 2
1. Move the jack into position beneath the transmission, then turn the Pressure
Valve Knob (B) fully clockwise.
2. Pump the lever (C) to raise the Table Assembly until it lightly touches the
transmission.
Make all adjustments necessary using the Table Tilt Screw (F), Claws (G), Table
Travel Screw (E), and Angle Brackets (H) , so that the transmission is adequately
and fully supported, and IMPORTANTLY, in the same plane as that when
installed in the vehicle.

MAINTENANCE
Before each use
Visually inspect the lift for distortion of parts, cracked welds, damaged wheels or
castors, excessive oil leak from ram, or any other sign of damage. Should any of
these be apparent, remove the Jack from service, and have it inspected and
repaired by a qualified technician before putting back into use. If necessary,
consult your Clarke dealer.
If the Warning label becomes worn or illegible, have it replaced. Contact your
Clarke dealer.
Monthly
Lubricate the threads of the Table Travel screw and Table Tilt screw with a light
grease.
Every 6 Months
Check the oil level in the hydraulic ram as follows:
1. Turn the Pressure Valve knob anticlockwise and allow the table to lower
completely.
2. Unscew and remove the Vent Plug (A, Fig.1).
3. If necessary, fill to just below the bottom of the Vent Plug orifice using Clarke
Hydraulic oil (see your Clarke dealer), then replace the Vent Plug.
3. When completely satisfied, tighten all nuts and bolts securely, then pump the
Lever (C, Fig.1) slightly, to take the weight of the transmission.
IMPORTANT: Immediately the transmision begins to lift....stop pumping.
4. As a safety measure, wrap the chain around the transmission, securing it as
tightly as possible and importantly, in the manner specified in the vehicles manual.
It is now safe to commence work.
To Lower the Load
With all necessary components disconnected, VERY SLOWLY and GENTLY turn the
Pressure Valve (B, Fig.1) anticlockwise to lower the load, checking constantly for
the possibility of snagging.
IMPORTANT: Until the load is clear, the lowering process should be carried out inch by inch,
by opening and closing the Pressure Valve.
Once the load is lowered, (as low as possible), use the handle provided to hook
into the hole on the side of the base (J, Fig.2), and pull the jack away from the
vehicle. DO NOT pull on the load to do this.
To replace rthe transmission, reverse this procedure
