Cleaning the Vehicle
Before attempting to clean the vehicle, all safety measures must be taken
to prevent shorting (sparking) of the electric circuits:
• The battery connector must be removed.
• Only compressed air and/or non-conductive, anti-static brushes
may be used for cleaning electrical assemblies.
• Do not use pressurized water to clean the vehicle.
•
Do not use flammable solvents to clean the vehicle.
• After cleaning, check all functions of the vehicle for correct function.
Welding on the Vehicle
Always remove all electric or electronic components before performing any
welding on the vehicle.
Tire and Wheel Maintenance
The quality of the tires or wheels direct affects the stability and performance
of the vehicle. Only use CLARK factory components, as noted on the data
plate, when repairing or replacing tires or wheels.
When replacing tires or wheels on your vehicle, always replace in pairs (if
applicable).
Hydraulic Hoses
All hydraulic hoses should be replaced at least every 6 years. If replacing
hydraulic components, also replace the hoses in the hydraulic system.
