Clark Electric Rider Lift Trucks TMX 25

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 when handling acid concentrates greater than 50 percent acid

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

Direction control lever moved 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 put in the 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

Check the hydraulic sump tank fluid level

Check the fluid level at operating temperature

Park the truck on a level surface and apply the parking brake

Put the upright in a vertical position and lower the fork carriage fully down

Pull the dipstick out, wipe it with a clean wiper, and reinsert it

Remove dipstick and check oil level

Keep the oil level above the LOW mark on the dipstick by adding recommended hydraulic fluid only, as required

When checking hydraulic oil, make sure you use a clean wiper and do not let contaminants get on the dipstick or in the sump

Check the condition of the hydraulic fluid (age, color or clarity, contamination)

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

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

If the maximum fork height is not reached, this indicates there is an inadequate (low) oil level in the hydraulic sump tank or severe binding within the upright
