SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Only trained persons should operate this lifting equipment.
2. ALWAYS ensure that sufficient light is provided and that the work area is
kept clear of unrelated items.
3. ALWAYS inspect the jack before use. Make sure that all parts are in good
condition and operating smoothly and that no cracks or distortion is
apparent. If in doubt do not use. Have the damaged parts replaced or
consult your CLARKE dealer.
4. The jack must be maintained and repaired by suitably qualified persons.
5. DO NOT make any modifications to this jack or adjust any valves.
6. DO NOT use the jack if an oil leak is apparent. Consult your CLARKE dealer.
7. DO NOT try to lift more than the 3 Tonne rated load for the jack.
8. This jack is for lifting only; do not move a load using the jack as a dolly.
9. DO NOT use to lift people and that no-one is in the vehicle during lifting.
10. Make sure that the jack is on a firm level base and there is no possibility of
it slipping when under load.
11. Only use the jack on solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid
tarmacadam as the jack could sink in.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. NEVER push a load off the jack.
15. Ensure that all personnel are well clear of a load being raised or lowered.
16. Consult the vehicle handbook to determine the correct lifting points.
17. It is necessary that the operator watch both the jack and the load during
operation.
18. Check the condition of the labels regularly and replace if required.

BEFORE USE
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the retaining clip by
pressing the yoke downwards and
pulling the clip away.
• The yoke can now hinge up
and down freely.
2. Insert the jack handle into the
handle socket.
• The handle will engage with
the jack control valve at the
base of the yoke.
3. Tighten the retaining bolt if
required to retain the handle in
the jack.
4. Add the upper handle by sliding it
onto the lower handle until the
spring loaded pin clips into place.
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 times to purge air from the system.
3. Turn the control handle clockwise and test the jack. If efficiency is still poor,
check the oil level as described under Maintenance on p7.
The jack is now ready to use.
