Clark Electric Rider Lift Trucks TMX 15

Battery charging installations must be located in areas designated for that purpose. These areas must be kept free of all non-essential combustible materials.

Facilities provided for flushing spilled electrolyte?

Charging apparatus protected from damage by trucks?

Adequate ventilation for dispersal of fumes from gassing batteries?

Eye wash fountain provided for handling acid concentrates greater than 50 percent acid (above 1.400 specific gravity)?

Conveyor, overhead hoist, or equivalent material handling equipment provided for handling batteries?

IMPORTANT! Electric truck batteries are heavy and awkward to handle. They are filled with a very hazardous chemical solution. On charge, they give off hydrogen and oxygen which, in certain concentrations, are explosive. And they are costly. Before you remove, service, or install a truck battery, carefully read the following recommendations and instructions.

Travel area is clear in front of the truck

Parking brake releases properly

Direction control lever moves from NEUTRAL to FORWARD travel position

Truck moves slowly forward when accelerator pedal is pushed down

Brakes apply smoothly and equally when stopping the truck from moving forward

Travel area is clear behind the truck

Direction control lever moves to REVERSE travel position

Truck moves slowly in reverse when accelerator pedal is pushed down

Warning: This inspection requires trained personnel with PPE!

Inspect the load forks for cracks, breaks, bending and wear. The fork top surfaces should be level and even with each other. The height difference between both fork tips should be no more than 1.5% of the blade length.

WARNING! If the fork blade heel is worn down by more than 10 percents, the load capacity is reduced and the fork must be replaced.

Inspect the forks for twists and bends. Put a 2\ thick metal block

If the fork blades are obviously bent or damaged, have them inspected by a trained maintenance person before operating the truck.

Inspect the fork locating pins. Be sure they are not damaged or broken and operate freely and lock correctly. Check the fork stop pins for secure condition.

Sign off on the fork inspection

Warning: This check requires trained personnel with PPE!

Is the truck parked on a level surface with the parking brake applied?

Is the upright in a vertical position and the fork carriage fully lowered?

Is the dipstick clean before checking the oil level?

Is the oil level above the LOW mark on the dipstick?

Is the hydraulic fluid free of contamination?

Does the hydraulic fluid need to be replaced?

Check the function of the lift system and controls

Pull back on the tilt control lever and hold until the upright reaches the full back tilt position

Push forward on the lever to return the upright to the vertical position

Release the lever. It should spring back to the neutral position freely without assistance

CAUTION! Be sure that there is adequate overhead clearance before raising the upright

Pull back on the lift control lever and raise the fork carriage to full height

Watch the upright assembly as it rises. All movements of the upright, fork carriage, and lift chains must be even and smooth, without binding or jerking

Watch for chain wobble or looseness; the chains should have equal tension and move smoothly without noticeable wobble

Release the lever. It should spring back to the center position
