SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. NEVER exceed the safe working load of 400 kg, and only use the
motorcycle lift for its intended purpose.
2. NEVER use the lift if it has been subjected to an abnormal load or shock. It
should be removed from service immediately and fully inspected by
qualified personnel, and passed as serviceable, before being used again.
3. NEVER rely upon the hydraulic ram to support the saddle when loaded.
Always use the locking bar to hold the saddle in one of the positions
provided.
4. ALWAYS use the lift on a solid, flat, level surface.
5. ALWAYS screw down the stabilisers before putting the saddle under load.
NOTE: The castors are not designed to take the weight of the motorcycle,
but are used merely to move the lift quickly and easily around the
workshop. On no account must you raise a loaded platform
unless the stabilisers are screwed down, and NEVER use the lift to
transport a load.
6. ALWAYS use appropriate safety equipment, such as protective footwear,
when using this lift.
7. ALWAYS inspect the lift before use to ensure it is in good condition, and
replace any damaged or worn parts.
8. ALWAYS use spare parts supplied by Clarke International. Using non-
standard parts could be extremely dangerous.
9. ENSURE the operator is trained in both operational and safety aspects.
10. NEVER leave this lift unattended whilst there is a load on it.
11. NEVER allow children or bystanders anywhere near this lift whilst it is in use.

RAISING THE LOAD

satisfactorily supported, screw
down the two stabilisers,
• This removes any load from the

bar is engaged with the notches
on the base,
6. Press the release pedal gently,
allowing the saddle to lower until
the load is taken by the locking
bar.

straps (supplied) before you

TO SUPPORT THE LOAD.
WARNING: ENSURE THE MOTORCYCLE IS FULLY STABILISED BEFORE

MAINTENANCE
BEFORE EACH USE
Visually inspect the lift for distortion of parts, cracked welds, damaged wheels
or castors, oil leakage from the ram, or any other sign of damage. Should any
of these be found, do not use the lift, 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 illegible, have it replaced. Contact your Clarke
dealer.
WARNING: TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN LOWERING. YOU ONLY NEED TO
PRESS THE RELEASE PEDAL VERY LIGHTLY. TOO HEAVY A TOUCH WILL
RESULT IN THE LOAD DESCENDING TOO RAPIDLY WHICH COULD BE
HAZARDOUS
