Clark Forklift C500 Y 135

ATTENTION: Perform this check in a well-ventilated area. Do not park Fork-Lift over holes or depressions. LPG is heavier than the air and therefore stratifies at deepest location on the floor. Smoking and the use of flames is prohibited during these checks. Make sure there is no flame or spark near the check area. Lines may not be removed while the exhaust pipe is hot. LPG is extremely explosive.

Cleaned all hoses and their connections before the check?

Smelled gas or found cold areas while cleaning?

If you smell gas or find cold areas while cleaning, this indicates that there is a leak in your LPG installation. To find a suspected leak, sponge soapsuds on to the area to be checked.

Bubbling of the soapsuds indicating a leak?

If a leak is indicated by the bubbling of the soapsuds, have the LPG installation sealed by your Clark Dealer.

Warning: Do not check engine oil level immediately after switching off the engine. The oil circulation takes a least a few minutes to flow back into the oil sump.

Remove the dipstick and wipe with clean cloth

Place the dipstick back in as deeply as possible

1. Lifting Chain Adjustment Check

• The lifting chains are correctly adjusted if the lower fork carrier rollers reach their end position around 13mm from the lower edge of the inner rail.

• To be able to check this, proceed as follows: Raise the upright around 1.5m. Grease the running surfaces in the lower region of the inner rail so that you can recognize distinct running tracks. Lower the upright and pick up a load according to the allowabble rated capacity of your forklift truck.

• It is important to perform the lift chain adjustment check with the nominal load to allow consideration of chain stretching. • Incline the upright slightly backwards and let it down completely. Set down the load and raise the upright again around 1.5m. You can now see on the basis of the running tracks whether the chains are adjusted as pres-cribed.

• Corrections of the setting are to be performed on the upper chain anchors through tightening or loosening of the anchoring nuts.

ATTENTION! If the chains have stretched by more than 3% of their original lengths, they must be replaced for safety rea-sons. For this purpose, contact your CLARK dealer.

• Lubrication of the lifting chains forms an important part of maintenance operations. The lifting chains are exposed to heavy loadings and can attain maximum life if they are regularly and adequately lubricated.
