A Message to CLARK Lift Truck Operators
A Message to CLARK Lift Truck Operators
Lift trucks are specialized machines with unique operating
characteristics, designed to perform a specific job. Their function and
operation is not like a car or ordinary truck. They require specific
instructions and rules for safe operation and maintenance.
Safe operation of lift trucks is of primary importance to CLARK. Our
experience with lift truck accidents has shown that when accidents
happen and people are killed or injured, the causes are:
• Operator not properly trained
• Operator not experienced with lift truck operation
• Basic safety rules not followed
• Lift truck not maintained in safe operating condition
For these reasons, CLARK wants you to know about the safe
operation and correct maintenance of your lift truck.
This manual is designed to help you operate your lift truck safely.
This manual shows and tells you about safety inspections and the
important general safety rules and hazards of lift truck operation. It
describes the special components and features of the truck and
explains their functions. The correct operating procedures are shown
and explained. Illustrations and important safety messages are
included for clear understanding. A section on maintenance and
lubrication is included for the lift truck mechanic.
