Use PM Report Form
A planned maintenance program of regular, routine
inspections and lubrication is important for long life and
troublefree operation of your lift truck. Make and keep
records of your inspections. Use these records to help
establish the correct PM intervals for your application and
to indicate maintenance required to prevent major prob-
lems from occurring during operation.
As an aid in performing and documenting your PM
inspections, Clark has prepared an Electric Truck Planned
Maintenance Report form. Copies of this form may be
obtained from your authorized Clark dealer. We recom-
mend that you use this form as a checklist, to make a
record of your inspection and truck condition.
The periodic maintenance procedures outlined in this
manual are intended to be used with the PM report form.
They are arranged in groupings of maintenance work that
are done in a logical and efficient sequence.
A check mark or entry is made on the PM Report Form
when the PM is performed. Please note the special coding
system for indicating the importance of needed repairs
and/or adjustments.
When you have finished the PM inspections, be sure to
give a copy of the report to the designated authority or the
person responsible for lift truck maintenance.
Do not make repairs or adjustments unless authorized to
do so.
For safety:
• Remove all jewelry (watch, rings, bracelets, etc.)
before working on the truck.
• Disconnect battery from truck receptacle before
working on electrical components.
• Wear safety glasses. Wear a safety (hard) hat in
industrial plants and in special work areas where
protection is necessary or required.

Visual Inspection
Perform a visual inspection of the lift truck and its compo-
nents. Walk around the truck and take note of any obvious
damage and maintenance problems. Check for loose fas-
teners and fittings.
Be sure all capacity, safety, and warning plates or decals
are attached and legible.
CAUTION
!
Do not operate a lift truck with damaged or
missing decals and nameplates. Replace them
immediately. They contain important infor-
mation.
Inspect the truck for signs of external leakage of transmis-
sion fluid, etc. Check for hydraulic leaks and loose fit-
tings. DO NOT use bare hands to check. Hydraulic Fluid
may be hot or under pressure.
DANGER
!
HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE: Do not
use your hands to check for hydraulic leak-
age. Fluid under pressure can penetrate your
skin and cause serious injury.
Be sure that the driver’s overhead guard, load backrest
extension, finger guards, and any other safety devices are
in place, undamaged, and attached securely.
