SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Read 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. 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 load

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 load is chocked and the handbrake applied before lifting.

16. NEVER work on or under a load unless it is fully and adequately supported.

17. NEVER rely upon the jack to hold the load in position.

18. NEVER push a load 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 within the moving parts.

21. Use only as a lifting device, DO NOT use as a dolly to move a load.
