MAINTENANCE
Before each use
Visually inspect the lift for distortion of parts, cracked welds, damaged wheels or
castors, excessive oil leak from ram, or any other sign of damage. Should any of
these be apparent, remove the Jack from service, and have it inspected and
repaired by a qualified technician before putting back into use. If necessary,
consult your Clarke dealer.
If the Warning label becomes worn or illegible, have it replaced. Contact your
Clarke dealer.
Monthly
Lubricate the threads of the Table Travel screw and Table Tilt screw with a light
grease.
Every 6 Months
Check the oil level in the hydraulic ram as follows:
1.
Turn the Pressure Valve knob anticlockwise and allow the table to lower
completely.
2.
Unscew and remove the Vent Plug (A, Fig.1).
3.
If necessary, fill to just below the bottom of the Vent Plug orifice using Clarke
Hydraulic oil (see your Clarke dealer), then replace the Vent Plug.
3.
When completely satisfied, tighten all nuts and bolts securely, then pump the
Lever (C, Fig.1) slightly, to take the weight of the transmission.
IMPORTANT: Immediately the transmision begins to lift....stop pumping.
4.
As a safety measure, wrap the chain around the transmission, securing it as
tightly as possible
and importantly, in the manner specified in the vehicles manual.
It is now safe to commence work.
To Lower the Load
With all necessary components disconnected,
VERY SLOWLY and GENTLY
turn the
Pressure Valve (B, Fig.1) anticlockwise to lower the load, checking constantly for
the possibility of snagging.
IMPORTANT: Until the load is clear, the lowering process should be carried out inch by inch,
by opening and closing the Pressure Valve.
Once the load is lowered, (as low as possible), use the handle provided to hook
into the hole on the side of the base (J, Fig.2), and pull the jack away from the
vehicle. DO NOT pull on the load to do this.
To replace rthe transmission, reverse this procedure
