Hydraulic Control Levers
The levers of the control valve
activate the lift and tilt cylinders as
well as any other hydraulic devices
which are installed on the truck.
IMPORTANT
The hydraulic levers shown are
typical representations of a CLARK
internal combustion lift truck.
Your model may vary slightly.
Lift Control Function
With the lift control lever, you are able to
raise and lower the fork carriage on the
upright. The lifting and lowering speeds
are controlled through the main
hydraulic valve by varying the lever
position (from the center or neutral
positions).
When the lift control lever is pushed
forward, the fork carriage is lowered.
When the lift control lever is pulled back
the fork carriage is raised. You can also
lower the fork carriage even if the key
switch is OFF.
Tilt Control Lever
With the tilt control lever, you are able to
control the tilting or vertical position-ing
of the upright and the angle of the forks.
When the lever is pulled back, the
upright and forks tilt backward.
Push the lever forward to tilt the up-right
and forks forwards.
