MAINTENANCE
PURGING AIR FROM THE SYSTEM
If air bubbles become trapped inside the hydraulic system, the efficiency of
the jack will be reduced. Air can be purged from the system as follows.
1. Turn the control valve release
knob counter-clockwise, relieving
the pressure within the jack, then
remove the cover plate & oil filler
plug.
•
A broad-bladed screwdriver is
required for the plug.
2. Pump the handle several times to
purge air from the system.
3. Replace the oil filler plug, then turn
the control valve release knob clockwise and test the jack. If efficiency is
still low, check the oil level as below.
CHECKING 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:
1. Ensure the jack is fully lowered by turning the control valve release knob
fully anticlockwise.
2. Remove the cover plate and the oil filler plug.
•
The oil should be almost level with the bottom of the oil filler hole.
•
Oil can be topped up using Clarke Hydraulic Oil (p/no 3050830 for 1 litre).
3. Purge any air from the system and replace the oil filler plug.
4. Dispose of old oil appropriately and be sure to wipe up any spillage.
GENERAL CARE
1. Periodically lubricate the hinges, front wheels & rear castors with light oil.
Should the arm become stiff, apply a shot of grease to the nipple on the
top of the lifting arm.
2. Store in a dry location.
3. In the event of damage or broken components, replacements are
available from Clarke Parts & Service.
