Pod Symbols and Functions
Functions
1. General function
The instrument pod consists of indicator lights, an hour meter, a
circuit board and attached gauges. The pod provides the
operator with important information about truck conditions and
can 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
Transmission fluid temperature is excessive or engine oil
pressure is low. Before shutting down the truck, the instrument
pod sounds alarm for 20-30 seconds and flashes indicator lights.
After shutdown, the truck may be restarted, but if the fault
condition persists, the truck will shut down again.
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 to the 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.
4. Anti-drive and parking brake reminder function
When parking brake is engaged, the truck cannot be driven even
when the directional switch is closed. A parking brake alarm
shall be activated if key switch is turned to the OFF position
and the parking brake is not applied. Applying the park brake will
reset the alarm.
