FOREWORD
A
large
share
of the
total cost
of
almost every prod-
uct
can be
traced
to
handling. This includes
in-plant
transport, storage,
freight,
warehousing
and
final
de-
livery.
In
many
cases,
the
fork
lift
truck plays
a key
roll
in
each
of
these operations.
You
and
your
lift
truck
can
significantly reduce these
costs
...
or
increase them.
A
lift
truck costs thousands
of
dollars.
Add to
this
the
cost
of
operation (operator's
pay,
fuel, maintenance, fringe benefits, etc.)
and it can
easily
be
seen
that this
is an
important investment
for
any
company.
The
investment
has now
been made
and
it is up to you to
ensure that maximum return
is
realized.
This
manual
will
help
the
"Qualified Operator"
be-
come
familiar
with
the
lift
truck's major components,
its
operating controls, special features
and the
function(s)
of
each.
This publication
is not a
training manual
but
rather,
a
guide
to
help
the
"Qualified
Operator"
to
more safe
and
efficient operation
of
your Clark
lift
truck.
Operator
training
manuals
are
available through
your
Clark
Dealer.
Clark
trucks
are
built
to
take hard work,
not
abuse.
They
are
built
to be
dependable,
but as
with
any
other
truck
they
are
only
as
good
as the
person behind
the
wheel
and the
people responsible
for
maintaining
them.
Illustrations
in
this
manual guide
the
operator
through
correct procedures
for
checking,
starting,
operating, stopping
and
parking
the
lift
truck.
Read
it —
Study
it —
Keep
it
Handy.
A
pocket
has
been provided under
the
operator's
seat
for
storage
of
this
manual.
