SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT

Before using your Load Leveller, it is in your own interest to read and comply with
the following safety rules.

• NEVER exceed the safe working load capacity which is 500kg.

• NEVER stand or work beneath a suspended load.

• Do not allow the load to swing or drop suddenly whilst moving or lowering.

• Use only slings or chains with a capacity equal to, or greater than that of the

load leveller.

• If the load capacity decal becomes worn or illegible, contact Clarke

International Spares Division for a replacement.

• Ensure the operator is skilled, and trained in both operation and safety

aspects.

• Inspect the Load Leveller before use to ensure it is in good condition. Replace

any damaged or worn parts.

• When replacing parts, only use those supplied by Clarke International as per

the parts lists on page 6.

WARNING

Failure to comply with these rules and precautions may result in loss of load,

damage to, or failure of, the equipment, or even personal injury.

Ensure that the Leveller is properly maintained and lubricated AT ALL TIMES, and

that no rust or other forms of corrosion is allowed to weaken any part.

PREPARATION FOR USE

1. Refering to the Parts List and Diagram, insert the large screw (2) through the
hole at one end of the main body (1), threading it through the Sliding Block
and out through the hole in the opposite end of the body.

2. Fit the Spacer (3) on to the end of the threaded screw, followed by the Crank
Arm (4) and secure in place using the nut (5).

3. Attach the Handle (6) to the other end of the crank arm using the nut (8) and
bolt (7).

4. Thread the Hooks (9) throught he holes in the base of the main body, and
ensure the washers (11) are in place before screwing on the nuts (10).

It is recommended that before use, you apply grease to the threaded screw
and to the main member of the body, in order to allow the sliding block to
move smoothly.

The chains (12) may be used to connect the Leveller to a lifting sling or directly to
the lifting points. Ensure ONLY those lifting points recommended by the
manufacturer are used. Consult the vehicle handbook.

OPERATION

Raising a Load Squarely.

With the leveller attached to the load via the
recommended lifting points, and, if this is an
engine, ensuring that all necessary
components are disconnected, i.e. exhaust,
speedo cable, electrical connections etc.,
very slowly take the weight. As the load begins
to lift it may rise at one end only. Turn the crank
handle of the Leveller so that the Sliding Block
moves AWAY from that end.

Continue to raise the load a little at a time
whilst moving the sliding block away from the
raised end until the load rises squarely.

If there is a degree of twist, this may be taken up by screwing the nuts (10), to
lengthen or shorten the hooks as appropriate, but ALWAYS ensure that the FULL
thickness of the nut (10) is in contact with the threaded end of the hook.

If this method is insufficient to compensate for the degree of twist or slew, you
should adjust the chain length on one or more of the lifting points.

Raising a Load at an Angle

In some cases, it may be necessary to raise the load at an angle. In this instance,
move the sliding block towards the end that needs to be higher. Gently raise the
load,turning the crank handle as required to achieve the required degree of tilt.

MAINTENANCE

Before Use

Always inspect the Leveller before use for visible signs of damage, worn or missing
parts.

NOTE:
If the Leveller is subjected to any abnormal load or shock, it should be removed from
service immediately and inspected by a local service agent or Clarke International Service
Division.

Periodically

a) check the main beam for cracks and distortion.

b) lubricate the Sliding Block and Screw with grease.

c) inspect the chains and hooks for damage or distortion. If any is apparent...have

them replaced.
