For safety reasons, your CLARK forklift truck is fitted with
a neutral start feature. The purpose of this is to prevent
the engine from being started while the transmission is in
gear. Thus the engine may only start when the direction
control lever is in the neutral position.
CAUTION
If the truck will start with the direction control in either
forward or reverse, there is a problem with the neutral
start switch and it must be repaired.
