SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. This jack is for lifting only, do not move a load using the jack as a dolly
2. Always inspect the jack before use. Make sure that all parts are in good
condition and operating smoothly, and that no cracks or distortion is
apparent. If in doubt do not use. Have the parts replaced or consult your
CLARKE dealer.
3. Make sure that the jack is on a firm solid base, and there is no possibility of it
slipping when under load.
4. Make sure 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.
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 (See “Specifications” on
page 2.).
9. Do not use if an oil leak is apparent. Consult your Clarke dealer.

OPERATION
NOTE: Where included, the carrying handle should be attached by
clipping it over the two large nuts at the main arm pivot. see
photograph on the front cover.
Ensure the load is chocked and stable and on firm level ground
1. Position the jack so that the saddle is directly beneath the lifting point and
that there are no obstacles to prevent a clean lift, also, make sure that all
personnel are well away from the area, before raising the vehicle.
• Consult the vehicle handbook to determine the correct lifting points.
USING THE TROLLEY JACK
1.
Release Valve
Place the operating lever over the
release valve and turn it fully
clockwise to close the valve.
2.
Jacking Port
Place the operating lever in the
jacking port and pump the
operating lever so that the saddle
rises to the lifting point.
• Raise the vehicle to the
required level.
3. Place axle stands directly
beneath suitable support points,
4. Place the operating lever over the release valve and VERY carefully turn
the handle anti-clockwise to lower the load on to the axle stands.
• Ensure the axle stands are centred about the support point and
perfectly stable before full 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. Remove the jack from the vehicle.
NOTE: The jack will move slightly during operation. It is important
therefore that the immediate vicinity is clean and completely
free from debris.

MAINTENANCE
BEFORE USE.
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.
EVERY 6 MONTHS
1. Oil all joints, linkages and front wheel hubs.
2. Apply grease to the caster bearings.
NOTE: Lubrication and cleanliness is important as dirt, rust etc can
cause a jerky action which could damage internal components.
ANNUALLY

oil leaks. Only a very slight oil seepage is permissible. If a leak is evident, do not
use jack and consult your CLARKE dealer.
