The Importance of Planned
Maintenance
A planned maintenance (PM) program of regular,
routine inspections and lubrication is important for
long life and trouble-free operation of your lift truck.
Make and keep records of your inspections. Use
these records to help establish the correct PM inter-
vals for your application and to indicate maintenance
required to prevent major problems from occurring
during operation.
PM Intervals
Time intervals on the following charts and elsewhere
in this Section relate to truck operating hours as
recorded on the hometer, and ate based on experi-
ence CLARK has found to be convenient and suit-
able under normal operation. The operating condition
classifications are:
Normal Operation: Eight-hour material handling,
mostly in buikiings or in clean, open air on clean
paved surfaces.
Severe Operation: Prolonged operating hours or
constantusage.
Extreme Operation:
Jn sandy or dusty locations, such as cement
plants,lumbermills,andcoaldustorstonecrush-
ing sites.
H&h-temperature locations, such as steel mills
and foundries.
Sudden temperature changes, such as constant
trips from buildings into the open air, or in re-
frigeration plants.
If the lift truck is used in severe or extreme operating
conditions, the maintenance intervals shouldbe short-
ened accordingly.
NOTICE
Siucethe operating environment of lift
trucksvarieswidely,theabovedescrip-
tions are highly generalized and should
be applied as actual conditions dictate.
“*Air restriction indicator may determine interval.

Introduction
PM Procedures
Visual Inspection
Daily checks and periodic maintenance should be
performed according to the following procedures.
PM Report Form
First, perform a visual inspection of the lift truck and
its components. Walk around the truck and take note
of any obvious damage andmaintenance problems.
A planned maintenance program of regular, routine
inspections and lubrication is important for long life
and trouble-free operation of your lift truck. Make
and keep records of your inspections. Use these
records to help establish the correct PM intervals for
your application and to indicate maintenance re-
quired to prevent major problems from occuning
during operation.
As an aid in performing and documenting your PM
inspections, Clark has prepared a “Gas, LPG or
Diesel Planned Maintenance Report” form. Copies
of this form may be obtained from your authorized
Clark dealer. We recommend that you use this form
as a checklist and to make a record of your inspec-
tion and truck condition. Please note the special
codingsystemforindicatingtheimportanceofneeded
repairs and/or adjustments.
The periodic maintenance procedures outlined in
thismanualateintendedtobeusedwiththePM
report form. They are arranged in groupings of main-
tenance work that are done in a logical and efficient
sequence.
Decals, Fasteners, and Leaks
Check for loose fasteners and fittings.
Check to be sure all capacity, safety, and warning
plates and decals are attached and legible.
NOTICE
Do not operate a lift truck with dam-
aged or missing decals and name-
plates. Replace them immediately.
They contain important iuformatio~~
When you have finished the PM inspections, be sure
to give a copy of the report to the designated author-
ity or the person responsible for lift truck mainte-
nance.
Inspect the truck before and after starting engine for
any signs of extemal leakage: fuel, engine oil or
coolant, transmission fluid, etc.
Precautions
/\
! CAUTION
Do not make repairs or adjustments
unless authorized to do so.
Check for hydraulic oil leaks and loose fittings. DO
NOT USE BARE HANDS TO CHECK. Oil may
be hot or under pressure.
A ! CAUTION
Disconnect the battery ground cable (-) from the
engine or frame before working on electrical com-
ponents. Always wear safety glasses. Wear a safety
(hard) hat in industrial plants and in special areas
where protection is necessary or required Remove
all jewehy (watch rings, bracelets, etc.) before work-
ing on the truck
HYDRAULIC FLUID PREssuRE.
Do not use your hands to check for
hydraulic leakage. Fluid under pres-
surecaupenetrateyourskinandcause
serious injury.

el!!mK
OverheadGuard
Forks
Be sure that the driver’s overhead guard and any
other safety devices are in place, undamaged
and attached securely.
Inspectthe load forks for cracks, breaks, bending
and wear. The fork top surface should be level and
even with each other. The height difference be-
tween both fork tips should be no more that l/16
inch per foot of fork length.
Check the overhead guard for damage. Be sure that
it is properly positioned and all mounting fasteners
are in place and tight.
Carriageand Upright
Inspect the welds on the carriage and upright for
cracks. Report any cracks noted immediately. Be
sum that the mounting fasteners are in place and
tight.
Inspect the upright assembly: rails, carriage rollers,
lift chains, and lift and tilt cylinders. Look for
obvious wear and maintenance problems, damaged
or missing parts. Check for any loose parts or
fittings. Check for leaks, any damaged or loose
rollers and rail wear (metal flaking). Carefully check
the lift chains for wear, rust and corrosion, cracked
or broken links, stretching, etc. Check that the hft
and carriage chains are cornxtly adjusted to have
equal tension. Check that the lift chain anchor fas-
teners and locking means are in place and tight
Besureallsafetyguardsandchainretainersamin
place and not damaged. Jnspect the carriage stops
and cylinder retainer bolts. Check all welded con-
nections.
Jnspect all lift line hydraulic connections for leaks.
Check the lift cylinder rods for wear marks, grooves
and scratches. Check the cylinder seals for leaks.
A
WARNING
If the fork blade at the heel is worn
down by more than 10 percent, the
load capacity is reduced and the fork
must be replaced.
Inspecttheforksfortwistsandbends. Puta2”thick
metal block, at least 4” wide by 24” long on the
blade of the fork with the 4” surface against the
blade. Put a 24” carpenter’s square on the top of the
block and against the shank. Check the fork 20”
above the blade to make sure it is not bent more than
1” maximum.
If the fork blades ate obviously bent or damaged,
they mustbetepairedorreplacedbefore the track is
put into operation.
Inspect the fork locking pins for damage. Reinsert
them and note whether they fit properly.

Introduction
Wheels and Tires
Check the condition of the drive and steer wheels
and tires. Remove objects that ate embedded in the
tread. Inspect the tires for excessive wear or breaks
or “chunking out”.
Check all wheel lug nuts or bolts to be sure none are
loose or missing. Have missing bolts or lug nuts
replaced and tightened to correct torque before
opemting truck (See ‘Torque Specifications” in
Group 40.)
A
WARNING
Check tire pressure from a position
facing the tread of the tire, not the side.
Use a long handled gauge to keep your
body away from the side. If tires are
low, do not add air. Check with a
mechanic. The tire may require re-
moval and repair. Incorrect (low) tire
pressure can reduce stability of your
lift truck. See Group 40, Section 2,
T@ecification,” for proper inflation

Brake and Inching Pedal Freeplay

mately 0.31 inch (8mm). Adjust fieeplay as de-
scribed in Group 23, if necessary.
checkinchingpedalfreeplayaswiththebrakepedal,
and adjust if necessary.
Functional Tests
Besurethat:
l Parking brake is applied.
l Directional control is in ‘W’ (neutral).
Test the horn, lights and all other safety equipment
and accessories. Be sure they are properly mounted
and working correctly.
Press the horn button to check horn function. If the
horn or any other part does not operate, report the
faihu-e and have it repaired before the truck is put in
operation.
Now prepare to start the truck so that you can test
gauges, accelerator service and parking brakes, all
hydraulic controls, directional controls, and steering
system. All controls must operate freely and return
to neutral properly.
Starting System
A 3position starter switch is standard equipment.
Check the operation of the
neutral start switch by plac-
ing direction control lever in
forwardorreverseandturning
key switch to START posi-
tion. Starter must not engage
until dim&ion control lever is
movedtoNEUTRALposition.
As you start the engine, check the instrument panel.
The oil pressure gauge and ammeter should register
when the key reaches the on position. The other
gauges should register as the engine cranks over.
To start engine, rotate the key clockwise. Release to
“run” position when engine starts. The “anti-
