Clark Forklift C45D

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 freeplay (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 to the straight-ahead position.

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

Never operate a truck that has a steering system fault.

WARNING! Fasten your seat belt before driving the truck.
