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 this 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.
4. ALWAYS use appropriate safety equipment, such as protective footwear,
when using this jack.
WORK AREA
1. DO NOT use the jack on inclined surfaces. It must only be used on level
ground. The jack may move away as soon as it lifts the tyre from the
ground surface.
2. DO NOT overload the jack beyond the load rating (680 kg per jack).
3. DO NOT start the vehicle engine with the jacks in use. The jacks are only
designed for hand manoeuvring vehicles.
4. DO NOT use the jack to lift tyres wider than 300mm (12 inches).
5. DO NOT attempt to push the jack over obstacles when supporting a
vehicle. It is only designed to be used on level and reasonably smooth
surfaces.
6. Never allow children or bystanders in the area while the jack is in use.
7. Always engage the castor wheel brakes if the jack is left unattended while
supporting a vehicle. This product is not intended to support the vehicle
permanently, only for moving.
8. NEVER work underneath a vehicle supported only by this product. If
working under a vehicle, always use stands designed for the purpose.
SERVICING & REPAIRS
1. Check the jack for damage before use and DO NOT use if damaged. Any
damage should be properly repaired or the defective part replaced. If in
doubt, DO NOT use. Consult your local 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.

OPERATION
Before use, visually inspect the jack for distortion of parts, cracked welds,
damaged castors, oil leaks, or any other sign of damage. Should any of these
be apparent, have the jack inspected and repaired by a qualified
technician before putting back into use.
1. With the jack on the floor, hold
the operating pedal down to
release the pedal locking
hook.
2. Pull out the locking pin from
the frame.
3. Open the release valve by
turning the thumb-wheel
counter-clockwise.
4. Expand the jack beams apart
by hand, enough to position
around the vehicle tyre.
5. Close the beams together until
both rollers are in contact with the tyre tread.
6. Replace the locking pin into the most suitable locating hole.
7. Close the release valve by turning the thumbwheel clockwise until tight.
• The jack may now be used.
• Ensure the jack is parallel to the sidewall of the tyre. Leave
clearance between the tyre wall and the jack frame.
8. To lift the tyre, pump the operating pedal, depressing with smooth, even
strokes of the foot. Continue until the tyre is lifted from the ground no more
than one inch.
9. Always use the brakes, on each of the front swivelling castors, to prevent
the vehicle moving unintentionally once supported clear of the ground.
10. Repeat the process with the other tyres and jacks (if purchased). Use two
jacks to move the front or back of the vehicle. Use four jacks for complete
mobility.
11. To lower the jack, open the release valve by turning the thumb-wheel
slowly counter-clockwise. The beams of the jack should move apart under
the weight of the vehicle and the jack may be removed when the rollers
are no longer bearing any weight.
