Warning: Do not attempt to repair a worn chain. Lift chain repairs and adjustments should be made by trained service personnel.

Inspect and lubricate the lift chains every PM (50-250 hours). When operating in corrosive environments, inspect the chains every 50 hours.

Check for corrosion, cracked plates, raised or turned pins, tight joints, wear, and worn pins or holes.

Measure chain wear. When a section of chain is 3% longer than a section of new chain, the chain is worn and must be discarded.

Do not repair chains by cutting out the worn section and joining in a new piece. If part of a chain is worn, replace all the chains on a truck.

All chains must be replaced if any link has wear of 3% or more, or if any of the damaged conditions noted above are found during inspection.

Replace all chains as a set. Do not remove factory lubrication or paint new chains. Replace anchor pins and worn or broken anchors when installing new chains. Adjust tension on new chains. Lubricate chains when they are installed on the upright.

Warning: Uprights and lift chains require special attention to maintain them in safe operating condition. Uprights can drop suddenly. Look at the upright, but keep hands out.

• Check up the damage of cables and terminal at every scheduled PM (500 hrs)

• During inspection, check the following cable condition

- Terminal for loosing or corrosion

- Insulation for hardening and cracking

• Do not repair cable by cutting out the damaged section and splicing.

• Replace the entire cable of traction and pump motors should be replaced with new cables having over 194F (90C). Inquire the cable at an authorized CLARK service agency.;

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.
