How to Use this Manual
ix
The first Section of the manual is devoted to a review, with
illustrations and brief messages, of general safety rules and the
major operating hazards you can encounter while operating a lift
truck. Next, you will find descriptions of the components of your
specific lift truck model and how the instruments, gauges, and
controls operate. Then, you will find a discussion of safe and efficient
operating procedures, followed by instructions on how to tow a
disabled lift truck. The later sections of the manual are devoted to
maintenance and truck specifications.
Take time to carefully read the “Operator Compartment and
Controls” section. By acquiring a good basic understanding of your
truck's features, and how they function, you are better prepared to
operate it both efficiently and safely.
In “Planned Maintenance and Lubrication,” you will find essential
information for correct servicing and periodic maintenance of your
truck, including charts with recommended maintenance intervals and
component capacities. Carefully follow these instructions and
procedures.
Each major Section has its own table of contents, so that you can
find the various topics more easily. If you cannot find a topic in the
table of contents, check the index at the back of the manual.
We urge you to first carefully read the manual from cover to cover.
Take time to read and understand the information on general safety
rules and operating hazards. Acquaint yourself with the various
procedures in this manual. Understand how all gauges, indicator
lights, and controls function. Please contact your authorized CLARK
dealer for the answers to any questions you may have about your lift
truck’s features, operation, or manuals.
Operate your lift truck safely; careful driving is your responsibility.
Drive defensively and think about the safety of people who are
working nearby. Know your truck’s capabilities and limitations. Follow
all instructions in this manual, including all IMPORTANT, CAUTION,
WARNING, and DANGER messages to avoid damage to your lift
truck or the possibility of any harm to yourself or others.
This manual is intended to be a permanently attached part of your lift
truck. Keep it on the truck as a ready reference for anyone who may
drive or service it. If the truck you operate is not equipped with a
manual, ask your supervisor to obtain one and have it attached to the
truck. And, remember, your CLARK dealer is pleased to answer any
questions about the operation and maintenance of your lift truck and
will provide you with additional information should you require it.
