Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. ALWAYS inspect the jack before use. In spect for distortion of the column and locking pins and the security of all parts. Check all parts are in good condition and operating smoothly and that no cracks or distortion is apparent. If in doubt DO NOT use. 2. If any part of jack fails to work properly, stop use and have it repaired or replaced. NEVER attempt to repair jack while it is under load. 3. DO NOT use the jack for any purpose other than for which it is designed. 4. Ensure the jack is on a firm solid base and that there is no likelihood of it slipping or sinking when under load. 5. Ensure the load is taken by the FULL lifti ng nose and that the point of lift on the load is of sufficient strength to support the full load adequately. 6. ALWAYS ensure that the load is stabilis ed or supported in such a way that it will not shift during lowering or lifting. Always lock and/or stabilise the load to be lifted. The jack will not act as a load stabiliser. 7. ALWAYS use supports to stabilise the load once lifted. DO NOT rely upon the jack to hold the load in position. 8. NEVER push a load off the jack. 9. All persons shall be clear of load be ing raised, lowered or pulled. NEVER work under a raised load without using additional supports such as axle stands. As an extra precaution insert a M12 steel bolt (not included) through the hole in the beam immediately below the lifting mechanism to act as a safety pin. Ensure there are no persons or obstructions beneath a load before lowering. 10. Ensure there is a working gap between a vehicle being lifted and any adjacent wall or object. 11. Ensure the vehicle handbrake is securely on and/or an automatic vehicle transmission is in the park position before lifting. 12. Take care not to trap fingers within the moving parts. 13. ALWAYS keep a firm grip on the handle and support beam. 14. When using the jack to pull or drag a load, be aware that the load may suddenly ‘give’, eg. pulling a tree stump etc. Take appropriate precautions. 15. NEVER exceed the rated load of the jack as given in the specifications. WARNING/If you exceed rated capacity, the shear pin will break and the handle will drop.

DO NOT use additional bars/tubes in conjunction with the handle to provide extra leverage. Use hand power only. 17. NEVER carry the jack by the handle as the column may drop and cause harm to persons or property. 18. ALWAYS ensure that the lifting head climbing pin is located and locked in a hole in the steel beam before releasing the pumping handle otherwise the lifting head will automatically lower, causing the handle to move up and down rapidly presenting a risk of serious injury. 19. The jack must have a minimum load of 50kg (110Ibs) to activate the lowering step by step otherwise lifting head will drop.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW RAISING A LOAD WARNING: BEFORE LIFTING ENSURE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ARE READ AND UNDERSTOOD. 1. Before lifting assess the correct jacking point for the load. If the load is a vehicle, consult the vehicle manufacturer's handbook for the correct lifting point. 2. Pull the direction latch upwards (fig.1) until it clicks into place. Ensure it is locked in position with the indent of the latch firmly engaged with the notch on the reversing switch. Ensure that the foot of the jack is placed on a stable, strong base capable of supporting the jack and the load.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com The foot of the jack should be immediately below the chosen lifting point so that the lifting action is vertical. DO NOT attempt a lift with the jack at an angle. 3. Raise the lifting toe to the jacking poin t on the load. The lifting head can be raised manually into position. You will hear the mechanism clicking as you do this. 4. Place the lifting toe under the object to be lifted. You can pull the lifting head up to the point of lift (or strain) without pumping the handle. 5. Hold the column (2) steady. Unclip the handle (4) by pulling it downwards and pump it up and down with a full stroke to bring the lifting toe into contact with the jacking point. Check that the toe is fully under the load and lifting at the right point. 6. When you are sure that the jack and load are stable commence lifting by pulling the handle down a full stroke. As the handle is pulled down you will hear the climbing pin click into place as it locates in the next hole in the column. At this point, relax the handle allowing the pin to take the load. Raise the handle to the top of its stroke to take a fresh purchase and pump the handle down again. Pressure will be felt on the downward stroke. ALWAYS keep a firm grip on the handle. No extension of any sort should be applied to the handle to gain extra leverage. 7. When the desired lifting height has been achieved, raise the handle towards the column and clip it in the vertical position. 8. Place a M12 steel bolt (not supplied) through the hole immediately below the lifting mechanism to act as a safety pin. 9. Put the handle in uprigh t position before tripping the reversing latch to lower the load. WARNING: THE JACK IS FOR LIFTING OR PULLING AND MUST NOT BE USED TO CONTINUOUSLY SUPPORT A LOAD. PLACE AXLE STANDS OR OTHER APPROPRIATE SUPPORTS BENEATH A VEHICLE/LOAD. LOWERING A LOAD WARNING: THE JACK MUST BE LOADED WITH A MINIMUM OF 50KG (110LBS) TO LOWER STEP BY STEP OTHERWISE THE LIFTING TOE WILL DROP RAPIDLY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE COLUMN WHEN THE DIRECTION LATCH IS MOVED TO THE LOWERING POSITION. 1. Jack the load up slight ly, remove the safety pin if fitted and any previously placed supports. Place the handle in the fully upright position.

Trip the reversing latch so that it is in the down position with the indentation on the latch disengaged from the notch on the reversing switch (see fig.2). Keeping a firm grip on the handle, commence lowering by pumping the handle steadily up and down. When lowering, you will feel resistance on the upward (or backward) stroke of the handle. CAUTION: DO NOT RELEASE THE HANDLE UNTIL THE CLIMBING PIN HAS LOCKED INTO PLACE. IF THE CLIMBING PIN IS NOT LOCKED INTO PLACE AND THE HANDLE IS RELEASED, THE LIFTING HEAD WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOWER CAUSING THE HANDLE TO MOVE UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY, PRESENTING A RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. PULLING, TENSIONING AND POSITIONING WARNING: DO NOT PLACE AN EXCESSIVE STRAIN ON THE LOAD, EQUIPMENT OR SUPPORTS WHEN USING THE JACK FOR PULLING OR TENSIONING. The jack may be used for a variety of other purposes such as tensioning fences (See fig.3), pulling out tree stumps (See fig.4) and positioning of heavy items such as machinery. In all cases, such operations should begin with a risk assessment exercise including consideration of the following points. When the jack is used for pulling or tensioning there will be a tendency for the pulling force to move the column away from the line of pull unless the far end is restrained or fixed using suitable chains, bolts, ropes etc. Any fixing/restraining items used must be sufficiently robust for the pulling force that will be applied to them. Where other structures are used to stabilise the column the operator must be certain that these structures are sufficiently strong to resist the force applied to them otherwise damage may occur to the structure resulting in a sudden and dangerous loss of tension.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com When repositioning heavy items such as machinery, consideration should be given to how the load will move once it is set in motion and sufficient precautions taken to restrain the item from moving too far or in an unpredictable way. Similar caution needs to be exercised when choosing attachment/pushing/pulling points on machinery. These points must be sufficiently strong to resist the forces applied to them. It is the responsibility of the owner of the equipment to assess the safety requirements for every new usage of the equipment and to take sufficient safety precautions. MAINTENANCE Keep the moving parts clean and free from debris especially if used in a dirty environment eg for tree stump removals. Keep all parts of the jack gently lubricated to prevent any possibility of corrosion If stored for long periods. Store in a dry, childproof location where it cannot be damaged by the elements.
