SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. ALWAYS inspect the jack before use. Ensure that all parts are in good condition and
operating smoothly, the wheels are sound and that no cracks or distortion is apparent.
If in doubt do not use. Have the parts replaced or consult your CLARKE dealer.
2. ALWAYS ensure the jack is on a firm solid base, and that there is no likelihood of it slipping
when under load.
3. ALWAYS ensure 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.
4. ALWAYS ensure that the load is stabilised or supported in such a way that it will not shift
during lifting or lowering 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. ALWAYS ensure that all personnel are well clear of a load being raised, or lowered.
7. NEVER push a load off the jack.
8. NEVER exceed the rated load for the jack (see ‘Specifications’).
9. NEVER use if an oil leak is apparent...Consult your Clarke dealer.
10. NEVER attempt to disassemble the jack. Consult you CLARKE dealer if problems arise
11. NEVER move a load using the jack as a dolly. This jack is for lifting ONLY..
ASSEMBLY
For transit and packaging purposes, you will
note that the Arm - ‘A’ in illustration opposite,
is held down by a retaining wire, shown at ‘B’.
To remove the wire, press down on the Arm
sufficiently for the wire to be removed.
Carefully allow the Arm to reassert.
Attach the two halves of the handle, ensuring
the spring pin in the top half, locates correctly
in the hole in the bottom half .
Insert the end of the handle into the Arm so
that the square hole in the handle engages
with the square shaft in the Arm, (it may be necessary to unscrew the setscrew - shown
at ‘C’, in order to do so).
With the handle firmly in place, screw in the setscrew so that it is finger tight, then unscrew
by one half a turn....the handle should rotate smoothly.
OPERATION
RAISING A LOAD
Ensure the load is chocked and stable and 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 correct lifting points.
Turn the handle, fully clockwise and pump the handle to raise the saddle, As it meets the
lifting point, check to ensure it is in full contact and there is no obstacle to prevent a clean
lift, before proceeding to pump the handle further to raise the load. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES attempt to move the load whilst supported by the jack.
Place axle stands or suitable supports beneath the vehicle, before VERY GENTLY turning the
handle anticlockwise. This action will open the release valve to lower the load on to the
stands. DO NOT jerk the handle...ensure it lowers under complete control on to the axle
stands which must be correctly positioned and take the weight evenly.
LOWERING A LOAD
First jack up the load in order to clear the axle stands or supports, then, when the supports
have been removed, check to ensure that there are no obstacles that could prevent the
load from lowering without hindrance, and that all personnel are well away from the site.
VERY GENTLY turn the handle anticlockwise and the load will lower. DO NOT jerk the
handle....lower the load under complete control....DO NOT allow it to lower too quickly as
this could damage the pump seals
MAINTENANCE
Daily.
Inspect for distortion of components, and security of all nuts and bolts. If in doubt, do not use.
Have damaged parts repaired or replaced. If necessary, consult your CLARKE dealer.
Monthly
Oil all joints, linkages, and front roller hubs with machine oil.
NOTE: Lubrication and cleanliness is important as dirt, rust etc. can cause a jerky action
which could damage internal components.
Every 6 months
Carry out a thorough inspection for serviceability of components and check for oil leaks.
Only a very slight oil seepage is permissible. If a leak is evident, take the jack out of service,
and consult your CLARKE dealer.
Storage
Store in a dry place where it cannot be attacked by the elements with the ram 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 International Service Dept..
There are no user serviceable parts within this equipment except for those listed overleaf.
Should the Jack not operate properly, consult your Clarke Dealer, or Clarke Service
