Clark Forklift C55SL

Check truck for obvious damage and leaks

Check fuel system for leaks, etc

Check capacity, warning plates and decals

Check condition of tires and wheels. Remove embedded objects. Check air pressure

Check for missing or loose wheel lugs nuts

Check engine coolant level (radiator and recovery tank)

Warning: Do not attempt to repair a worn chain. Replace worn or damaged chains. Do not piece chains together.

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

Check for raised or turned pins

Check for wear, and worn pins or holes

When the pins or holes become worn, the chain becomes longer. When a section of chain is 3% longer than a section of new chain, the chain is worn and must be discarded.

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.

WARNING! Fasten your seat belt before driving the truck.

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.

Sign off on the steering system inspection

WARNING! Do not remove the radiator cap when the radiator is hot. STEAM from the radiator will cause severe burns. Do not remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level.

WARNING! Never remove the radiator cap while the engine is running. Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury from hot coolant or steam blowout and/or damage to the cooling system or engine.

NOTICE! Your lift truck cooling system is filled with a factory-installed solution of 50% water and 50% permanent type antifreeze containing rust and corrosion inhibitors. You should leave the solution in year around. Plain water may be used in an emergency, but replace it with the specified coolant as soon as possible to avoid damage to the system. Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze.
