SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.
This jack is for lifting ONLY..DO NOT move a load using the jack as a dolly
2.
Always inspect the jack before use. Ensure that all parts are in good condition and
operating smoothly, the wheels are sound and that no cracks or distortion is apparent.
If in doubt
do not use
. Have the parts replaced or consult your CLARKE dealer.
3.
Ensure the jack is on a firm solid base, and that there is no likelihood of it slipping when
under load.
4.
Ensure the load is taken by the
FULL
saddle and that the point of lift on the load, is of
sufficient strength to support the full load adequately.
5.
Always ensure that the load is stabilised or supported in such a way that it will not shift
during lifting or lowering operations.
6.
Always use supports to stabilise the load once lifted.
NEVER
work on or under a load
unless it is fully and adequately supported.
NEVER
rely upon the jack to hold the load
in position.
7.
Never push a load off the jack.
8.
Ensure that all personnel are well clear of a load being raised, or lowered.
9.
NEVER exceed the rated load for the jack (see ‘Specifications’).
10. Do not use if an oil leak is apparent...Consult your Clarke dealer.
ASSEMBLY
Unscrew the bolt, at the rear of the jack handle housing, sufficient for the handle to be
inserted. Ensure the square drive on the end of the handle, engages fully with the square
spigot within the housing, before retightening the securing bolt
Attach the foot pedal using the fixtures supplied.
OPERATION
RAISING A LOAD
Ensure the load is chocked and stable and on firm level ground, before manoeuvring the
jack so that the saddle is directly beneath the lifting point. Consult the vehicle handbook to
determine the correct lifting points.
Turn the knob, at the top of the handle, fully clockwise and pump the handle, or
alternatively, pump the pedal, to raise the saddle, As it meets the lifting point, check to
ensure it is in full contact and there is no obstacle to prevent a clean lift, before proceeding
to pump the handle further to raise the load. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES attempt to move
the load whilst supported by the jack.
Place axle stands or suitable supports beneath the vehicle, before VERY GENTLY turning the
knob anticlockwise. This action will open the release valve to lower the load on to the stands.
DO NOT jerk the handle...ensure it lowers under complete control on to the axle stands which
must be correctly positioned and take the weight evenly.
IMPORTANT:
The foot pedal is used to quickly bring the saddle to the lifting point, NOT to raise a load.
LOWERING A LOAD
First jack up the load in order to clear the axle stands or supports, then, when the supports
