7-2 Introduction
Introduction
NOTICE
ONLY TRAINED AND AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL should
perform Planned Maintenance. Local CLARK dealers are
prepared to help customers put in place a Planned Main-
tenance program for checking and maintaining their lift
trucks according to applicable safety regulations.
CAUTION
!
Powered industrial trucks may become hazardous If
maintenance is neglected.
The operator should make a safety inspection of the lift truck before
operating it. The purpose of this daily examination is to check for any
obvious damage and maintenance problems, and to have minor
adjustments and repairs made to correct any unsafe condition.
In addition to the operator’s daily inspection , CLARK recommends
that the owner set up and follow a periodic planned maintenance (PM)
and inspection program. Performed on a regular basis
by trained
personnel , the program provides thorough inspections and checks of
the safe operating condition of the lift truck. The “PM” identifies
needed adjustments, repairs, or replacements so they can be made
before failure occurs. The specific schedule (frequency) for the PM
inspections depends on the particular application and lift truck usage.
This Section recommends typical Planned Maintenance and
Lubrication Schedules for items essential to the safety, life, and
performance of the truck. It also outlines safe maintenance practices
and gives brief procedures for inspections, operational checks,
cleaning, lubrication, and minor adjustments.
Specifications for selected components, fuel, lubricants, critical bolt
torques, refill capacities, and settings for the truck are found in
Section 8.
If you have need for more information on the care and repair of your
truck, see your CLARK dealer.
