  3. FOREWORD Clark Equipment Company welcomes you to the growing group of professional people who own, operate and maintain Clark lift trucks. This manual will familiarize you with service maintenance and overhaul information about your new truck. It has been especially prepared to help you maintain your Clark lift truck in an efficient and safe operating condition. Regular, correct maintenance and care of your lift truck is not only important for full and efficient truck life; 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. The importance of maintaining your lift truck in a safe operating condition by servicing it regularly and, when necessary, repairing it promptly cannot be emphasized too strongly. To assist you in keeping your lift truck in good operating condition, this manual includes an outline of planned maintenance (PM) procedures that are considered essential to the life and safe performance of your truck. Brief procedures for inspections, operational checks, cleaning, lubrication, and adjustments are included for your reference. 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 program provides the opportunity to make thorough inspections and checks on the safe condition of your truck. Necessary adjustments and repairs can be done during the PM, which will increase the life of components and reduce unscheduled downtime. The need for major adjustments, repairs, or replacements is found and corrections made as required; not after failure has occurred.

  4. HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL This manual is intended to be used by persons who are trained and authorized to do lift truck maintenance. The recommended procedures for routine servicing and adjustments as well as for removal and overhaul of major components of the truck are outlined. It is written to show and describe the adjustment, removal, disassembly, inspection, repair, and assembly steps that are normally required to service these components. The detailed procedures are arranged in sequence by numbered GROUP and Section. The GROUP numbers are the same as the component group in the Master Parts Book. Each GROUP has its own Table of Contents, so that you can find the various topics within more easily. If you cannot find a topic in the Table of Contents, check the Index at the back of the manual. Component specifications, information notes and safety messages are included at the proper step of each procedure. To be better prepared to do the necessary service work, please take time to read the entire procedure, including any special instructions, before doing any work. Specifications of selected truck components are included at the back of the manual for easy reference. Also refer to the Operator’s Manual, located on the truck, for additional information and instructions on the operation and maintenance of your truck. If you have need for more information on the care and repair of your truck, please contact your authorized Clark dealer.

Watch upright assembly as it rises. All movements of upright, fork carriage, and lift chains must be even and smooth, without binding or jerking motion. Watch for chain wobble or looseness; chains should have equal tension and move smoothly without noticeable wobble. Auxiliary function control If truck is equipped with an attachment, check control for correct function by briefly operating attachment. When you have completed operational tests, park and leave truck according to standard shutdown procedures. Check for correct function of lift control portion of operator control handle and main hydraulic valve. Listen for abnormal noise in hydraulic valve, main hydraulic pump, and system components. Be sure to make a record of all maintenance and operating problems you find. If maximum fork height is not reached, this indicates there is an inadequate (low) oil level in hydraulic sump tank, or severe binding within upright.

If any of above AIR CLEANING Inspect condition of battery and cables. battery cables for wear or other damage, and routing clear of interference (rubbing) with other components. Be sure that cable terminals are tight and clean. Clean off minor deposits of corrosion that you find on battery. Check Always maintain a lift truck in a clean condition. Do not allow dirt, dust, lint, or other contaminants to accumulate on truck. Keep truck free from leaking oil and grease. Wipe up all oil spills. Keep controls and floorboards clean, dry, and safe. A clean truck makes it easier to see leakage, loose, missing or damaged pans, and will help prevent fires. A clean truck will run cooler. IMPORTANT - Never wash battery when it is in truck. The environment in which a lift truck operates will determine how often and to what extent cleaning is necessary. For example, trucks operating in manufacturing plants which have a high level of din or lint (e.g., cotton fibers, paper dust, etc.) in air or on floor, will require more frequent cleaning. If air pressure does not remove heavy deposits of grease, oil, etc., it may be necessary to use steam or liquid spray cleaner. Check battery post terminals for corrosion and damage. Clean all corrosion from cable end and battery post. Check tightness of cable and post terminals. If necessary, check state-of-charge condition of battery. Take a specific gravity test of electrolyte with a hydrometer. Be sure to check a minimum of six battery cells. LIFT TRUCKS EVERY OFTEN SHOULD BE AIR AND CLEANED OTHERWISE AT AS Check electrolyte level of battery. Add distilled water, as required, to fill each cell to correct level. Check to be sure vent holes in all battery cell caps are open. If cap vents are plugged with corrosion, remove them and wash in a solution of baking soda and water. PM INTERVAL, AS REQUIRED. Air cleaning should be done using an air hose with special adapter or extension having a control valve and nozzle to direct air properly.

  21. B - Pumping fluid out by using truck hydraulic system. This method may be used most easily and satisfactorily for routine changes of fluid. Fasteners in highly loaded (critical) components can quickly fail if they become loosened; loose fasteners can cause damage or failure of components. For safety, it is important that correct torque be maintained on all critical fasteners of components which directly support, handle or control load, and protect the operator. also, Hydraulic Oil Filter Remove and replace hydraulic system fluid filter per recommended PM schedule, or as may be required by truck operating conditions and usage. Install a new oil filter. Be sure to follow installation instructions printed on filter. Check for leaks after installation of filter. Also, check that hydraulic line connections at filter adapter correctly. Check torque of critical items, including: Overhead guard; drive unit mounting; drive wheel mounting; stabilizing caster mounting: load wheel mounting; load backrest extension; tilt cylinder mounting and yoke; reach mechanism and mounting; upright mounting & components. are tightened LUBRICATION, FILTERS FLUIDS AND IMPORTANT Always use genuine CLARK parts. Sump Tank Breather Maintenance HYDRAULIC SUMP Remove sump tank fill cap/breather and inspect for excessive (obvious) contamination and damage. Clean or replace fill recommended PM schedule or as required by operating conditions. Check hydraulic sump tank fluid level. Correct fluid level is important for proper hydraulic system operation. Low fluid level can cause pump damage. Overfill can cause loss of fluid or lift system malfunction. cap/breather, per ACCESS TO THE DRIVE UNIT Hydraulic fluid expands as its temperature rises. Therefore, it is preferable to check fluid level at operating temperature (after approximately minutes of truck operation). first park truck on a level surface and apply brake. Retract reach mechanism and lower fork carriage fully down. Pull dipstick out, wipe it with a clean wiper and reinsert it fully into dipstick tube. Remove dipstick and check oil level. Keep oil level above LOW mark on dipstick recommended hydraulic fluid only, as required. DO NOT OVERFILL.
