3-6 Operator Controls
Hydraulic Control Levers
The levers of the control valve activate
the lift and tilt cylinders as well as any
other hydraulic devices which are in-
stalled on the truck.
IMPORTANT
The hydraulic levers shown are
typical representations of a
CLARK 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.
Auxiliary Control Lever (Optional)
An auxiliary control lever is mounted to the right of the tilt control
lever. If your lift truck is equipped with an optional attachment, this
lever lets you control the flow and direction of the hydraulic oil to the
attachment.
