3. Make sure that the saddle is in full contact with the lifting point and that
there is nothing that will prevent a clean lift.
4. Put axle stands below the support points on the vehicle.
5. Make sure that the axle stand is centred below the support point and are
stable before full weight of the vehicle is taken on it.
6. Make sure that the axle stands are in good condition and that they can
hold the load.
7. Ensure that the axle stands cannot move when supporting the load.
8. Make sure to lower slowly and in a controlled manner on to the axle stands.
LOWERING THE JACK
1. Lift the vehicle to remove the weight from axle stands or other supports.
2. Remove the axle stands or other supports from below the vehicle.
3. VERY SLOWLY and CAREFULLY, turn the release valve anticlockwise - as you
do so the jack will lower. To stop it lowering turn the release valve clockwise
again.
NOTE:
This operation must be done very slowly and in full control. DO
NOT let the load lower suddenly as this could damage internal
components.
4. Remove the jack from below the vehicle.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL CARE
1. When the jack is not in use, keep fully lowered and the release valve
closed.
2. Keep the jack clean and occasionally apply lubricating oil to all pivot
points, front wheels & rear castors.
3. Periodically check the oil level.
4. Check the pump piston and piston rod periodically for signs of corrosion.
Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.
In the event of damage or broken components, replacements are available
from Clarke Parts & Service.
CHECKING/TOPPING UP THE OIL LEVEL
If the jack has been stored for long periods, check for oil leaks before use. If
necessary, check the oil level as follows:
