Clark C500 100 - Diesel Engine Starting

Operator's Daily Checklist
12. Service brake pedal should feel firm when
depressed and not noticeably drift with pres-
sure applied for 10 seconds.
On machines equipped with a Hydratork trans-
mission, the same test should be applied to
the left foot inching-brake pedal.
If a significant increase in pedal effort is
required to stop the truck, report condition
to designated authority.
13. Check parking brake performance by moving
brake lever from full down to full up posi-
tion. Maximum force is required just before
full up (brake on) position is reached.
The parking brake should hold the truck with
a capacity load on a 15% grade (1.5 feet rise
in 10 feet), or the maximum grade negotiated
in the operation, whichever is less. Brake
holding power can be adjusted by rotating the
knob on the lever. Rotating clockwise will
increase tension; counterwise will reduce ten-
sion and holding power.
If performance checks are not satisfactory,
report condition to designated authority.
