Clark Forklift C70D

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.

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.

Inspect the coolant level in the overflow bottle only

If the level is low, add a 50/50 mixture of specified coolant and water to the correct fill level

Check engine oil for presence of coolant leaking into engine

Inspect the coolant for condition. Look for excessive contamination or rust or oil in the coolant solution
