consult your CLARKE dealer.
4. Make sure that the jack is on a firm level base, and there is no possibility of
it slipping when under load.
5. Make sure the load is taken by the full saddle and that the point of lift on
the load, is strong enough to support the load adequately.
6. DO NOT work under the raised vehicle until it is supported by suitable
means e.g. axle stands, NEVER rely on the jack to support the vehicle by
itself.
7. NEVER push a load off the jack.

FIRST TIME OPERATION & PURGING AIR FROM THE
SYSTEM
If air bubbles become trapped inside the hydraulic system during shipping or
transport, the efficiency of the jack will be reduced and the jack will feel
spongy.
1. Turn the control handle counter-clockwise, relieving the pressure inside the
jack.
2. Pump the handle several strokes to purge air from the system.
3. Turn the control handle clockwise and pump to raise the jack to its full
height. Pump the handle again several full strokes.
4. Test the jack and if efficiency is still low, repeat the above procedure with
the oil filler plug loosened. Check the oil level as described under
Maintenance section on page7.
5. The jack is now ready to use.

OPERATION
Before use, inspect the jack for oil leaks or any other sign of damage. Should
any be apparent, have the jack repaired by a qualified technician.
WARNING: NEVER WORK ON THE VEHICLE WHEN SUPPORTED ONLY BY A
JACK. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
ON AXLE STANDS OR SUITABLE SUPPORTS, BENEATH THE CORRECT
JACKING/SUPPORT POINTS.
1. Ensure the vehicle to be raised is stable and on firm level ground with the
wheels chocked.
2. To ensure safe lifting, position the jack at a 90
under the appropriate jacking point.
• Consult the vehicle handbook to determine suitable jacking points.
3. Twist the handle clockwise until it stops to close the control valve.
4. Pump the handle to raise the saddle is in contact with the jacking point.
5. Make sure that the saddle is in full contact with the lifting point and that
there is nothing that will prevent a clean lift. Keep all personnel at a safe
distance before lifting the vehicle.
6. Continue pumping the handle until the vehicle is at the required height.
• CAUTION: Observe the vehicle carefully during the lifting operation.
The jack should move in the direction of the vehicle during lifting.
Should this not be the case, there is a strong possibility that the
vehicle will slide off the jack.
7. Position axle stands directly beneath suitable supporting points on the
vehicle and very gently twist the handle anti-clockwise.
o
angle to the vehicle and
8. This will open the control valve to lower the load onto the stands.
• Make sure that the axle stands are in good condition and that they
can hold the load.
9. Ensure that the axle stands cannot move when supporting the load. Use
suitable wheel chocks to stop the vehicle from moving.
NOTE: The jack may move slightly during operation. It is important
therefore, that the floor is clean and completely free from debris.
10. To stop it lowering at any point, turn the handle clockwise again. Always
avoid a rapid descent by turning the handle slowly.
11. Carefully lower the vehicle onto the axle stand, checking constantly,
preferably with an assistant, that the vehicles jacking point rests snugly and
6
cleanly on the axle stand, and that the stand is stable before the weight is
taken.
NOTE: Ensure this operation is carried out under complete control. DO
NOT allow the load to drop suddenly as this could damage
internal parts.
12. Completely remove the jack from the vehicle.
