Clark Forklift C60D

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.

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

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)

Ensure the travel area is clear in front of the truck.

Push firmly on the brake pedal. Release the parking brake. Move the directional control lever from NEUTRAL to FORWARD.

Remove your right foot from the service brake pedal and put it on the accelerator pedal. Push down until the truck moves slowly forward. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal and push down on the service brake pedal to stop the truck. The brakes should apply smoothly and equally.

Ensure the travel area is clear behind the truck.

Put the directional control lever in the REVERSE travel position. Release the service brake and push down on the accelerator pedal until the truck moves slowly in the reverse direction. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal and push down on the service brake pedal to stop the truck. The brakes should apply smoothly and equally.

Put the directional control in FORWARD. Press the inching pedal fully down and hold. Depress the accelerator. The truck should not move. Now, with the accelerator still depressed, slowly release the inching pedal until the truck inches forward smoothly and slowly.

When you have completed the operational tests, park and leave the truck according to standard shut down procedure as described in Section 4 of this manual.
