Operator Daily Inspection — Safety and Operating Checks
A lift truck should always be examined by the operator, before driv-
ing, to be sure it is safe to operate. The importance of this procedure
is emphasized in this manual with a brief illustrated review and later
with more detailed instructions. CLARK dealers can supply copies of
a helpful “Drivers Daily Checklist.”
Planned Maintenance
In addition to the daily operator inspection, 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 will
provide an opportunity to make a thorough inspection of the safety and
operating condition of your lift truck. Necessary adjustments and repairs
can be done during the PM, which will increase the life of components
and reduce unscheduled downtime and increase safety. The PM can
be scheduled to meet your particular application and lift truck usage.
The procedures for a periodic planned maintenance program that
covers inspections, operational checks, cleaning, lubrication, and
minor adjustments are outlined in this manual. Your CLARK dealer is
prepared to help you with a Planned Maintenance Program by trained
service personnel who know your lift truck and can keep it operating
safely and effi ciently.
