Clark Electric Rider Lift Trucks GEX 16

NOTICE! The steering system, steer axle, and steering linkage on your truck should be inspected periodically for abnormal looseness and damage, leaking seals, etc. Also, be alert for any changes in steering action. Hard steering, excessive free play (looseness), or unusual sound when turning or maneuvering indicates a need for inspection or servicing.

Check the steering system by moving the steering handwheel in a full right turn and then in a full left turn.

Return the handwheel (steer wheels) to the straight ahead position.

The steering system components should operate smoothly when the steering wheel is turned.

IMPORTANT! Never operate a truck with a malfunctioning steering system.

If the load backrest has been removed, make sure that fork stops have been installed on each side of the carriage.

CAUTION! If the truck is not equipped with a load backrest, or it has been removed, then fork stops must be installed on each side of the carriage to prevent the forks from being unintentionally forced off of the carriage during operation.
