INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE hydraulic pump, ram & hose. This
manual covers the ram and hose which can be used in conjunction with
components from the 10 Tonne body repair kits type CS10BRK/CS10SBRK.
Body repair kits are designed for bending chassis frames and vehicle body
panels. In most cases, the equipment will only return the vehicle body parts
to approximately their original position. Additional work will be required to
complete the repair. The hydraulic ram and hose must be connected to the
pump unit and suitable accessories. It requires a solid immovable base,
directly in line with the damaged area.
Before attempting to use the product, please read this manual thoroughly
and follow the instructions carefully. In doing so you will ensure the safety of
yourself and that of others around you, and you can look forward to your
purchase giving you long and satisfactory service.
SPECIFICATIONS
Please note that the details and specifications contained herein, are correct at the
time of going to print. However, CLARKE International reserve the right to change
specifications at any time without prior notice.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Keep children and bystanders away while working. Distractions can cause
you to lose control and bystanders should be kept at a safe distance from
the working area especially when work is in progress.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when using
this equipment. Do not operate this equipment when you are tired, ill or
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
2. Do not over-reach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the equipment in unexpected situations.
3. Concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be
aware that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity.
4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery which may get
caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair. For best footing, wear rubber soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil,
scrap wood, etc.
5. Before working on a vehicle with this repair kit, ensure the vehicle is well
supported and completely stable.
6. Remember that during body repair, there is always the possibility of a
fixture slipping or a body part failing, which could cause the vehicle to jolt
suddenly. If the vehicle is not adequately supported, it could fall with
possibly serious consequences.
7. Never use an additional extension handle to operate the pump.
8. Never modify this equipment in any way.
9. Check the equipment for damage before use. Any damaged part should
be discarded and replaced. Check for alignment of parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the operation. Any
damage should be properly repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO
NOT use. Consult your local Clarke dealer.
10. Store out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
these instructions to use this product.

ASSEMBLY
When assembling the Hydraulic Ram, Pump unit and attachments, unscrew
and retain the plastic end plugs on the connections for future use. Ensure the
hydraulic hose is tightly screwed to the connection.
1. Screw the Pump Handle into the socket in the pump unit.
2. Connect the pump to the ram using the hose.
3. Fit a Flat Base to the static end of the ram using a male connector.
Connect other attachments to the moving end of the ram as required.
• Various combinations of extension tubes and attachments can be
assembled as shown, according to the distance between the work
surface and the supporting frame.
For full insructions including the use of the various attachment available, refer
to the manual supplied with the CS10BRK/CS10SBRK Body Repair Kits.

OPERATION
Assemble the components including a flat base and as many extension tubes
as required.
NOTE THAT WHEN ADDING FURTHER EXTENSION TUBES, THE MAXIMUM
RATED LOAD IS REDUCED. (SEE WARNING LABEL)
1. Connect the Hydraulic Ram or Hydraulic Spreader to the connecting hose
using the screw-on hose connector. Use the male connector to join the
ram to your selected attachment or any extension tube.
2. To operate the Hydraulic Pump, position it on a stable, level surface close
to the damaged area. Close the Release Valve by turning it clockwise
and pump the handle to create pressure.
3. Turn the Release Valve counter-clockwise to release the pressure.
• The pump may be positioned horizontally or vertically. When using the
Hydraulic Ram in a vertical position, always keep the hose end facing
downward.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE RAM BEYOND ITS CAPACITY. ENSURE THE
BEARING POINT IS STABLE AND PROPERLY CENTRED ABOVE THE RAM.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE ATTACHED COMPONENTS BEYOND THEIR RATED
CAPACITIES AS STATED IN THE SPECIFICATION.
Always apply the load slowly to be sure that everything is secure. Take care
that the load is always in line with the ram.
USING THE RAM
1. Determine in which direction the target area needs to be pushed.
2. Remove any obstructions that are in the way and could be damaged.
3. Connect a Flat Base to the stationary side of the Hydraulic Ram and
connect the appropriate attachment to the working end of the Ram.
Note: When repairing larger body panel dents such as a dented door,
wing or quarter panel, the correct pushing attachment will be the Rubber
Head.
4. Position the Hydraulic Ram so that the flat base is resting against a frame
member opposite the damaged area. It must be in line with the direction
in which the damaged area needs to be pushed and have enough
support that only the damaged area will be displaced by the ram
pressure.
• Use soft pads or wooden supports where necessary to protect the body.

5. Aim the pushing end towards the damaged area and slowly apply
pressure with the pump.
6. Once contact is established at each end, keep as well clear as practical
and slowly apply pressure to the damaged area until the desired
correction has been made.
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CONTACT AREAS AND TIGHT
SPACES IN CASE THE COMPONENTS SHOULD SLIP AND CAUSE INJURY.
7. When the damaged area has been bent to the desired position, slowly
turn the release valve on the pump unit in a counterclockwise direction to
release hydraulic pressure before removing the Ram.

FAULT FINDING
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
If disposing of old oil or any damaged components, do not dispose of them
with general waste. Any escaping oil should be captured with some
absorbent material which should then be disposed of appropriately. This
product and its packaging contain valuable raw materials and should be
taken to your local civic amenity site for recycling.

MAINTENANCE
If the pump has been stored for long
periods, check the oil level before use.
Stand the pump on a level surface
and remove the breather valve on the
oil reservoir. If necessary, top up via
the breather valve which is then
screwed on finger tight.
Note: Only unscrew this when the
system is not under pressure.
The oil level should be near the
bottom of the opening. If required, oil can be topped top using Clarke
Hydraulic Oil. (part no. 3050830 for 1 litre).
After extensive use, the hydraulic oil should be replaced to ensure longer
equipment life. Do not overfill, or the piston rod will be unable to move freely.
Replace the breather valve after re-filling. The required oil volume is 500 ml +
5ml.
STORAGE
After use, screw the valve cover on to
the pump to keep the connection
clear of dust and dirt and cover the
hydraulic hose end with the plastic
cap.
When not in use, the pump should be
stored with the release valve open.
Store all the equipment in its case in a
clean, dry environment protected
from the weather.
