have been removed, check to ensure that there are no obstacles that could prevent the
load from lowering without hindrance, and that all personnel are well away from the site.
VERY GENTLY turn the Knob anticlockwise and the load will lower. DO NOT jerk the
handle....lower the load under complete control....DO NOT allow it to lower too quickly as
this could damage the pump seals
MAINTENANCE
Daily
.
Inspect for distortion of components, and security of all nuts and bolts. If in doubt, do not use.
Have damaged parts repaired or replaced. If necessary, consult your CLARKE dealer.
Monthly
1.
Oil all joints, linkages, the pump roller and front wheel hubs.
2.
Apply grease to the caster bearings.
NOTE: Lubrication and cleanliness is important as dirt, rust etc can cause a jerky action which
could damage internal components.
Every 6 months
Carry out a thorough inspection for serviceability of components and check for oil leaks.
Only a very
slight
oil seepage is permissible. If a leak is evident, take the jack out of service,
and consult your CLARKE dealer.
Annually
Check the ram oil level as follows:
1.
Ensure the ram is fully retracted by turning the Knob fully anticlockwise.
2.
Remove the cover plate, located at the base of the handle housing, to gain access the
ram, then remove the ram filler plug.
3.
Lift the jack so that it is vertical, resting on its front wheels and check the oil level. It should
be level with the bottom of the oil filler hole.
If necessary, top up with CLARKE HYDRAULIC OIL ONLY. (See your CLARKE dealer.
Quote Part No. 3050830 for 1 litre bottle 3050835 for 5 litres.)
4.
Replace filler plug and purge system of air.....see below.
Storage
Store in a dry place where it cannot be attacked by the elements with the ram in its fully
retracted position. If stored for long periods, inspect at least twice a year, clean and re-oil.
For servicing, contact your CLARKE dealer, or CLARKE International Service Dep’t.
SYSTEM AIR PURGE
1.
Turn handle ONE full turn anticlockwise and pump handle EIGHT full strokes.
2.
Turn handle clockwise FULLY, and pump handle to maximum height...then continue to
pump 5 or 6 times to remove trapped air.
3.
Turn handle anticlockwise and allow arm to lower and ram to fully retract.
4.
Turn handle clockwise FULLY, and pump handle to maximum height to test pump action.
NOTE: It may be necessary to perform the above action more than once to ensure that air is
totally evacuated.
