SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. ALWAYS work in accordance with the instruction handbook;

2. NEVER exceed the maximum safe working load of 680 kg, and only use the
motorcycle lift for its intended purpose.

3. NEVER use the lift if it has been subjected to an abnormal load or shock. It
should be removed from service immediately and fully inspected by
qualified personnel, and passed as serviceable, before being used again.

4. NEVER rely upon the hydraulic ram to support the saddle when loaded.
Always use the locking bar to hold the saddle in one of the positions
provided.

5. ALWAYS use the lift on a solid, flat, level surface.

6. ALWAYS screw down the stabilisers before putting the saddle under load.

NOTE: The castors are not designed to take the weight of the motorcycle,

but are used merely to move the lift quickly and easily around the
workshop. On no account must you raise a loaded platform
unless the stabilisers are screwed down, and NEVER use the lift to
transport a load.

7. ALWAYS use appropriate safety equipment, such as protective footwear,
when using this lift.

8. ALWAYS inspect the lift before use to ensure it is in good condition, and
replace any damaged or worn parts.

9. ALWAYS use spare parts supplied by Clarke International. Using non-
standard parts could be extremely dangerous.

10. ENSURE the operator is trained in both operational and safety aspects.

11. NEVER leave this lift unattended whilst there is a load on it.

allowing the saddle to lower until
the load is taken by the locking
bar.

load until it is secured using the

begin work.
