OPERATION
A. Raising the column
Turn the Handle (35) fully clockwise, thereby closing the pump valve,
and pump the foot lever (13) to reach the desired height.
Ensure the centre of gravity of the load is completely centred about the
cradle before the full load is taken, and secure the load with chains.
B. Lowering the column
With the load fully secured, turn the Handle (35) VERY SLOWLY
anticlockwise, and the column will lower.
NOTE:
The more the Handle is turned, the greater will be the rate of descent.
Be extremely careful when lowering heavy loads.
MAINTENANCE
1. Always visually inspect the jack before use, to ensure that all parts are correctly locate
and secure. Check for hydraulic leaks, signs of damage or worn parts and check the
wheels and castors for serviceability.
Do not use the jack unless it is perfectly serviceable.
2. A slight dampness on the ram is normal, but where leakage is apparent, the ram seals
must be renewed.
3. The jack should be fully inspected annually.
a. Check for cracks and deformation of components.
b. Check wheels and castors to ensure they move freely without undue wear to their
bores, and that the wheels are not cracked or damaged in any way.
c. Check the hydraulic ram operation and check oil level. (see below).
d. Remove completely, any rust or corrosion and repaint to prevent further corrosion.
e. Ensure that all decals and warning notices are in place and perfectly legible.
5. It may be necessary from time to time to top up the Hydraulic ram oil level. Proceed
asfollows.
a. Lower the ram to its lowest position, and remove the vent plug (37).
b. Using an oil can, slowly top up the oil until it begins to overflow. When the excess oil
has completely drained off, replace the vent plug.
NOTE: Top up using Clarke hydraulic oil (part number 3050830).
We recommend that the hydraulic oil is changed after every 100 hours of operation.
6. After use, wherever possible, store the jack with the ram in its lowest position. This not
only relieves the hydraulic ram, but also prevents any possibility of corrosion to the ram.
7. Do not leave the jack in the open, exposed to the elements. Keep under cover.
8. If the jack is transported in the horizontal position, the vent plug should be replaced
with the transit plug.
9. DO NOT remove the Pump Pressure Relief Valve, or attempt to adjust the pump set-
tings.
