A Message to CLARK Lift Truck Operators iii
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. However, it
cannot cover every possible situation that may result in an accident.
You must watch for hazards in your work areas and avoid or correct
them. It is important that you know and understand the information in
this manual and that you know and follow your company safety rules!
Be sure that your equipment is maintained in a safe condition. Do not
operate a damaged or malfunctioning truck. Practice safe operation
every time you use your lift truck. Let's join together to set high
standards in safety.
Remember, before you start operating this lift truck, be sure you
understand all driving procedures. It is your responsibility, and it is
important to you and your family, to operate your lift truck safely and
efficiently. Be aware that the Federal Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA) and state laws require that operators be completely
trained in the safe operation of lift trucks; it is also an OSHA
requirement that a machine inspection be performed before every
shift. If you think you need training in operating or inspecting your lift
truck, ask your supervisor.
CLARK lift trucks are built to take hard work, but not abuse. They are
built to be dependable, but they are only as safe and efficient as the
operator and the persons responsible for maintaining them. Do not
make any repairs to this truck unless you have been trained in safe
lift truck repair procedures and are authorized by your employer.

Introduction vii
Operator Daily Inspection — Safety and Operating Checks
A lift truck should always be examined by the operator, before
driving, to be sure it is safe to operate. The importance of this
procedure is emphasized in this manual with a brief illustrated review
and later with more detailed instructions. CLARK dealers can supply
copies of a helpful “Drivers Daily Checklist.”
Planned Maintenance
In addition to the daily operator inspection, CLARK recommends
that a planned maintenance and safety inspection program (PM) be
performed by a trained and authorized mechanic on a regular basis.
The 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 unscheduled downtime
and increase safety. The PM can be scheduled to meet your
particular application and lift truck usage.
The procedures for a periodic planned maintenance program that
covers inspections, operational checks, cleaning, lubrication, and
minor adjustments are outlined in this manual. Your CLARK dealer is
prepared to help you with a Planned Maintenance Program by
trained service personnel who know your lift truck and can keep it
operating safely and efficiently.
Modification of the truck prohibited
Unauthorized modification of the truck is not permitted, and, in case
that a problem has occurred due to a modification without permis-
sion, the warranty service shall not be provided.
For instance, the modifications which may void the warranty include
those that may negatively affect the performance, durability and
safety of the truck due to addition of unauthorized electrical devices
(lamp, black box, electrical instrument, communication equipment,
etc.), braking system, steering system, vision improvement system
and detachable attachment device that were not mounted when the
equipment was shipped out of the factory.
