Pod Symbols and Functions
Functions
1. General function
The instrument pod consists of indicator lights, an hour meter, a
circuit board and attached gauges. Provides the operator with
important information about truck condition and shut down the
truck in the event that certain critical conditions are present.
2. Engine shutdown function
The instrument pod circuit board receives signals from sensors
in various locations and shuts down the truck when coolant
temperature(30 seconds alarm), transaxle fluid temperature are
excessive or engine oil pressure is low. Before shutting down
the truck, the instrument pod sounds alarm for 5 seconds and
flashes indicator lights. After shutdown, the truck may be
restarted, but if the fault condition persists, the truck is shut
down again.
Seat switch application (optional)
The instrument pod shuts down the running truck without
warning when the operator leaves the seat over 3 seconds with
the FWD/REV switch is engaged. Directional switch must open
and key switch must always be turned OFF, to restart engine.
When directional switch is open and parking brake is not
engaged, if the operator leaves a seat, after 3 seconds, the
instrument pod will sound buzzer, and then honk horn.
Setting the parking brake shall reset the alarm.(The engine is
not shut down.)
3. Neutral start function and Anti-restart function
Neutral start function
The instrument pod will not allow the starter to be engaged if
directional switches are closed or key has been in start position
once. Key switch must always be turned OFF to restart engine.
Anti-restart function
When engine is already running, the start motor does not rotate
although the key switch is turned start position.
IMPORTANT
For safety reasons, every CLARK forklift truck is fitted
with a neutral start switch. The purpose of this is to pre-
vent the engine from being started while the transmission
is in gear. Thus the engine may only start when the direc-
tion control lever is in the neutral position.
