personnel in the immediate vicinity before removing the handle from its
housing, and engaging it with the release valve.
2. Very slowly turn the handle counterclockwise to open the release valve,
and let the jack lower the load, under complete control. Do not open the
valve suddenly.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt to repair the jack.
INSPECTION
1. Always examine the jack before use, to ensure that all parts are correctly
located and secure. Check for hydraulic leaks, signs of damage or worn
parts.
Do not use the jack unless it is perfectly serviceable.
• A slight dampness on the ram is normal, but where leakage is found,
the ram seals must be renewed by your CLARKE Spares Department.
2. The jack must be fully inspected annually:
• Check for cracks and deformation of components.
• Check operation and top up the oil level. (see below).
• Remove rust or corrosion and repaint to prevent corrosion.
3. After use, store the jack with the ram in its lowest position. This not only
releases the pressure in the hydraulic ram, but also prevents any possibility
of corrosion to the ram.
4. Do not leave the jack in the open, exposed to the weather. Keep under
cover. If stored for long periods, examine before use, clean, and re-oil. For
servicing, speak to your CLARKE dealer or CLARKE Service department.
TOPPING UP THE OIL
It can be necessary from time to time to top up the hydraulic oil level as
follows.
1. Turn the release valve counterclockwise and let the ram retract to its lowest
position.
• It can be necessary to apply force to the saddle for lowering without
any weight on the jack.
2. With the jack in the level position, remove the filler plug and stand upright.
• The oil should be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole.
3. If below this, top up.
