SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Read this instruction manual before use.
2. Only trained persons should operate this lifting equipment.
3. ALWAYS ensure that sufficient light is provided and that the work area is
kept clear of unrelated items.
4. 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.
5. The jack must be maintained and repaired by suitably qualified persons.
6. DO NOT make any modifications to this jack or adjust any valves.
7. DO NOT use the jack if an oil leak is apparent. Consult your CLARKE dealer.
8. DO NOT use to lift people and ensure that no-one is in the vehicle during
lifting.
9. NEVER exceed the rated load for the jack See “Specifications” on page 2.
Overloading can cause the jack to fail, resulting in personal injury.
10. Make sure that the jack is on a hard, level surface, and there is no possibility
of it slipping when under load.
11. Only use the jack on solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmac as
the jack could sink in.
12. Make sure the load is taken by the full saddle and that the lifting point on
the vehicle is of sufficient strength to support the weight.
13. ALWAYS use axle stands to stabilise the load once lifted.
14. Consult the vehicle handbook to determine the correct lifting points.
15. Ensure the vehicle is chocked and the handbrake applied before lifting.
16. NEVER work on or under a vehicle unless it is fully and adequately
supported.
17. NEVER rely upon the jack to hold the vehicle in position.
18. NEVER push a vehicle off the jack.
19. Ensure that all personnel are well clear of a load being raised or lowered.
20. Take care not to trap fingers in the moving parts.
21. Use only as a lifting device; do not use as a dolly to move a load.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Unpack the components and
remove packing materials. Check
that no damage has occurred during
transit and immediately advise the
CLARKE dealer where you purchased
the product of any deficiency.
1. Connect the two halves of the
handle together and clip
together with the spring-loaded
ball.
2. Fit the adaptor into the socket if
an SUV is the vehicle to be lifted.
3. Add the saddle either to the lifting
arm or to the top of the adaptor
as required.
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.
1. Ensure the vehicle to be raised is stable and on firm level ground with the
wheels chocked.
2. Position the jack so that the saddle is directly beneath the lifting point. In
the case of high riding SUVs, insert the adaptor between the jack and the
saddle, seating both items in the socket provided.
• Consult the vehicle handbook to determine suitable lifting points.
3. Engage the end of the handle with the jack control valve. Twist the handle
clockwise to close the control valve.
WARNING: NEVER WORK ON THE VEHICLE WHEN SUPPORTED ONLY BY A
JACK WHICH IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS PRACTICE. THE VEHICLE MUST BE
SUPPORTED ON AXLE STANDS OR SUITABLE SUPPORTS, BENEATH THE
CORRECT JACKING/SUPPORT POINTS.
5
4. Insert the handle into the quick lift
operating arm on the side of the
jack. Depress fully down to quickly
raise the arm to the height
needed for a high riding SUV.
5. Next, insert the handle into the
yoke and pump the handle to
raise the saddle until it reaches
the jacking point.
6. Take care that no obstruction
prevents a clean lift. Keep all personnel at a safe distance before lifting the
vehicle.
NOTE: The jack may move slightly during operation. It is important
therefore, that the floor is free from debris.
7. Position axle stands directly beneath suitable supporting points under the
vehicle
8. Very gently twist the handle anticlockwise to open the control valve and
lower the vehicle onto the axle stands. ALWAYS avoid a rapid descent by
turning the handle slowly.
9. To stop it lowering at any point, turn the handle clockwise again.
10. Carefully lower the vehicle onto the axle stand, checking constantly,
preferably with an assistant, that the vehicles jacking point rests snugly and
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 or the vehicle.
11. Completely remove the jack from the vehicle.
12. Store the handle in the socket on the side of the jack.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL CARE
1. Periodically lubricate the hinges, front wheels & rear castors with light oil.
2. In the event of damage or broken components, replacements are
available from CLARKE Parts & Service.

PURGING AIR FROM THE SYSTEM
If air bubbles become trapped inside
the hydraulic components, the
efficiency of the jack will be
reduced. If the air cannot be
dispersed just by pumping the handle
with the valve open, it can be
purged from the system as follows.
1. Turn the control valve counter-
clockwise, relieving the pressure
within the jack, then prise off the
cover plate & unscrew the filler
plug.
• A broad-bladed screwdriver is required for the plug.
2. Pump the handle several times to purge air from the system.
3. Replace the oil filler plug, then turn the control valve clockwise and test the
jack. If efficiency is still low, check the oil level as below.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
If the jack has been stored for long periods, check for oil leaks before use. If
necessary, check the oil level as follows:
1. Ensure the jack is fully lowered by turning the control valve anticlockwise.
2. Remove the cover plate and the oil filler plug.
• The oil should be almost level with the bottom of the oil filler hole.
• It can be topped up using CLARKE Hydraulic Oil (p/no 3050830 for 1L).
3. Purge any air from the system and replace the oil filler plug.
4. Dispose of any old/spilled oil appropriately and wipe up any spillage.
STORAGE
1. Store in a dry place with the ram fully lowered. For servicing, contact your
CLARKE dealer or CLARKE International Service Department.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
One of the most damaging sources of environmental pollution is oil products.
NEVER throw away used hydraulic oil with domestic refuse or flush it down a
sink or drain. Collect any hydraulic oil in a leak proof container and take it to
your local waste disposal site.
If disposing of this product or any damaged components, DO NOT dispose of
with general waste. This product contains valuable raw materials and should
be taken to your local civic amenity site for recycling of metal products.
