Before attempting to use the unit, please read this instruction booklet thoroughly, and follow all directions carefully, paying particular attention to the safety precautions. By doing so, you will ensure the safe operation of the unit, and the safety of yourself and others around you. You can then look forward to long and reliable service from your CLARKE Bottle Jack. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Always inspect the jack before use. Ensure that all parts are in good condition and operating smoothly, and that no cracks or distortion is apparent. If in doubt do not use. 2. Ensure the jack is on a firm solid base, and that there is no likelihood of it slipping when under load. 3. Ensure the load is taken by the FULL lifting head and that the point of lift on the load, is of sufficient strength to support the full load adequately. 4. Always ensure that the load is stabilised or supported in such a way that it will not shift during lowering or lifting operations. 5. 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. 6. Never push a load off the jack. 7. Ensure that all personnel are well clear of a load being raised, or lowered. 8. NEVER exceed the rated load for the jack. 9. Do not use if an oil leak is apparent...Consult your Clarke dealer. 10. Whenever more than one jack is used, in unison, they must all be of the same rating, and be raised at the same speed, to prevent any possibility of the load slipping. TO RAISE A LOAD Ensure the load is chocked and stable and on firm level ground, before manoeuvring the jack so that is directly beneath the lifting point. DO NOT rely upon the vehicle handbrake alone to prevent vehicle movement. Ensure the jack is on solid level ground, if not, place a suitable piece of solid wood, of sufficient size to provide adequate support, beneath the jack. Locate the slotted end of the jack handle on to the pegs of the release valve (B, fig.1) and turn fully clockwise to close the valve. If necessary, screw out the head of the ram (A, fig.1), until it contacts the lifting point, then locate the handle into its housing (C, fig.1), and pump the handle so that the jack and lifting point are in full contact. Before proceeding further, make one final check to ensure that • the jack is completely vertical and stable • there are no obstacles to the lift • all personnel are well away from the site When satisfied, continue to pump the handle and lift the load to your desired height. Fig.1 TO LOWER A LOAD With the supports removed, check to ensure that there are no personnel in the immediate vicinity before removing the handle from its housing, and replacing it again over the pegs on the release valve (B, fig,1) IMPORTANT! VERY SLOWLY turn the handle anticlockwise to open the release valve, and allow the jack to lower the load, UNDER COMPLETE CONTROL.. NEVER, under any circumstances, jerk the valve open MAINTENANCE Inspect for Hydraulic leaks, and security of the lifting head. Keep all parts of the jack well lubricated to prevent any possibility of corrosion. Store the jack in a dry place where it cannot be attacked by the elements. Store 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 Service dept..
