16. Batteries, motors, controllers, limit switches, protective devices,
electrical conductors and connections must be inspected and
maintained in conformance with good practices. Special attention
must be paid to the condition of electrical insulation.
17. To avoid injury to personnel or damage to the equipment, consult the
manufacturer’s procedures in replacing contacts on any battery.
18. Industrial trucks must be kept in a clean condition to minimize fire
hazards and help in the detection of loose or defective parts.
19. Modifications and additions that affect capacity and safe truck op -
eration must not be done without the manufacturer’s prior written
approval. Capacity, operation and maintenance instruction plates,
tags or decals must be changed accordingly.
20. Care must be taken to assure that all replacement parts, including
tires, are interchangeable with the original parts and of a quality at
least equal to that provided in the original equipment. Parts, including
tires, are to be installed per the manufacturer’s procedures. Always
use genuine CLARK or CLARK - approved parts.
21. Use special care when removing heavy components from the
truck, such as counterweight, upright, etc. The truck can become
unstable and should be blocked. Be sure that lifting and handling
equipment is of the correct capacity and in good condition.
IMPORTANT
Your new CLARK lift truck has been built to meet all ap-
plicable mandatory requirements of ANSI/ITSDF B56.1
Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks. Each
truck also includes certain safety devices-such as a
horn as standard equipment. No additions, omissions,
or modifications should be made that affect compli -
ance to above requirements or in any way minimize
the effectiveness of the safety devices.
