Clark Forklift C500 Y 155

The hydraulic oil level must be measured with the upright let down and the forks on the floor.

Remove the dipstick from the hydraulic oil tank, wipe it with a clean cloth an replace it in the tank nozzle.

Withdraw the dipstick again and ascertain the oil level.

It must be between the marks 'full' and 'add' and may not fall below the 'add' mark.

Adequately replenish hydraulic oil as necessary.

Take this opportunity to check the condition of the breather filter.

A damaged breather filter must be replaced and a contaminated one cleaned.

For this purpose, wash the breather filter in a cleaning fluid and then allow it to dry thoroughly.

ATTENTION: Remove the drain plug and screen from the transmission sump. Check conditions of 'O' ring, if damaged replace it. Remove old transmission filter.

Cleaned the screen, the drain plug, and the sealing surfaces of the transmission fluid filter?

Replaced the drain plug, and tightened?

Replaced the screen and a new transmission filter?

Enter the amount of new transmission fluid added

Ran the engine at idle for a few minutes and checked for leakage from the drain plug, the screen flange or the filter?

Enter the final fluid level with the engine running

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.

Before the check, clean all hoses and their connections.

Smell of gas or cold areas found 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?

A leak is indicated by the bubbling of the soapsuds. In this case have the LPG installation sealed by your Clark Dealer.

Warning: Only trained personnel should perform this check

Current water level in the battery

Is the water level 5mm above the plate top edges or at the acid level indicators?

ATTENTION! Only replenish with distilled water. Never top up with battery acid.

Did you check the pole terminals?

Did you grease the pole terminals with acid protection grease?

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.
