A Message to Lift Truck Operators
Lift trucks are specialized machines with unique operating characteristics,
designed to perform a specic job. Their function and operation is not like
a car or ordinary truck. They require specic instructions and rules for safe
operation and maintenance.
The safe operation of lift trucks is a primary importance to CLARK. Our
experience with lift truck accidents has shown that when accidents occur
and people are injured or killed, the most common causes are:
• Improperly trained operator
• Inexperienced operator, unfamiliar with lift truck operation
• Basic lift truck safety rules NOT followed
• Lift truck NOT maintained to a safe operating condition
For these reasons, CLARK wants you to know how to safely operate and
properly maintain your lift truck.
This manual is designed to assist you in operating your lift truck safely. This
manual shows and describe correct safety inspections and important general
safety rules and hazards of lift truck operation. It shows and explains the
special components and features of your specic truck and it's functions.
The correct operating procedures are shown and explained. Illustrations and
important safety messages are included to provide a clear understanding.
A specic section detailing the proper maintenance and correct lubrication
is included for the lift truck mechanic.
The operator’s manual is not a training manual. It is a guide to help trained
and authorized operators safely operate their lift truck by emphasizing and
illustrating the correct procedures. This manual cannot cover every possible
situation that could result in an accident. You must be aware of possible
hazards in your specic work areas and make sure to correct or avoid them.
It is important that you know and understand the information in this manual
and that you understand and follow your company's safety rules. Make sure
that your lift truck is maintained in a safe, properly working condition. Do not
operate a damaged or malfunctioning truck. Practice safe operation every
time you use your lift truck.
v
Let's join together to set high standards in safety!
Remember, that before you begin operation of this lift truck, to make sure
you understand all correct driving procedures. It is your responsibility to
operate your lift truck safely and eciently.
Be aware that the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
and state law requires that operators be trained and certied in the safe
operation of lift trucks. It is an OSHA requirement that an inspection of the
lift truck be performed prior to every shift. If you have not been trained (or
need recertication training) for operating or inspecting your lift truck, notify
your supervisor.
CLARK lift trucks are designed and built to handle hard work, but not abuse
from the operator. They are built to be dependable, but are only as safe and
ecient as the operator(s) and person(s) responsible for maintaining them.
Do not make any repairs to this truck unless you have been trained and
authorized to perform safe lift truck repair procedures. For any repair,
maintenance, or any other service work concerning your lift truck, please
contact your CLARK dealer.
Only use CLARK original spare parts to guarantee trouble free functionality
and optimum economy of your truck.

Introduction
Foreword
CLARK welcomes you to the growing group of professionals who own,
operate, and maintain CLARK lift trucks. We take pride in the long tradition
of quality products and superior value the CLARK name represents. This
manual familiarizes you with safety, operation, and maintenance informa-
tion concerning your new lift truck. It has been specially prepared to help
you use and maintain your CLARK lift truck in a safe and correct manner.
Your CLARK lift truck has been designed and built to be as safe and e-
cient as today’s technology can make it. As manufactured, it meets all the
applicable mandatory requirements of ANSI B56.1 Safety Standard for
Powered Industrial Trucks. Each truck is also furnished with equipment
to help you operate safely. For example, load back rest, parking brake and
horn are all standard equipment.
Safe and productive operation of a lift truck requires both skill and knowl-
edge on the part of the operator. The operator must know, understand, and
practice the safety rules and safe driving and load handling techniques
described in this manual. To develop the skills required, the operator must
become familiar with the construction and features of the lift truck and how
they function. The operator must understand its capabilities and limitations,
and see that it is maintained to a safe condition.
Routine Servicing and Maintenance
Regular maintenance and care of your lift truck is not only important for
economy and utilization reasons; it is essential for your safety. A faulty lift
truck is a potential source of danger to the operator, and to other personnel
working near it. As with all quality equipment, keep your lift truck in optimal
operating condition by following the recommended schedule of maintenance.
vii
Operator Daily Inspection — Safety and Operating
Checks
A lift truck should always be examined by the operator, before driving, to
make sure it is safe to operate. The importance of this procedure is described
in this manual with a brief illustrated review and later with more detailed
instructions. Your CLARK dealer can supply you with copies of a helpful
Drivers Daily Checklist.
Planned Maintenance
In addition to the Daily Operator Inspection, CLARK recommends that a
Planned Maintenance (PM) and safety inspection program be performed by
a trained and authorized mechanic on a regular basis. This PM will provide
an opportunity to make a thorough inspection of the safety and operating
condition of your lift truck. Necessary adjustments and repairs can be done
during the PM, which will increase the life of components and reduce un-
scheduled downtime (increased productivity) and increase safety. The PM
can be scheduled to meet your particular application and lift truck usage.
The procedure for a periodic planned maintenance program covers inspec-
tions, operational checks, cleaning, lubrication, and minor adjustments. These
are all outlined in this manual. Your CLARK dealer is prepared to help you
with a Planned Maintenance program by oering trained service personnel
who know your lift truck and can keep it operating safely and eciently.
