iv
Be sure that your equipment is maintained in a safe condition. Do not
operate a damaged truck. Practice safe operation every time you use
your lift truck.
Remember, before you start operating this lift truck, be sure that you
understand all operating procedures. It is your responsibility, and it is
important to you and your family, to operate your lift truck safely and
eciently. Be aware that the Federal Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA) and state laws require that operators be completely trained
in the safe operation of lift/provincial trucks. If you think you need
training, ask your supervisor.
Safety and Planned Maintenance
Regular maintenance and care of your lift truck is essential for your
safety. A faulty lift truck is a potential source of danger to the operator,
and to other personnel working near it. Proper maintenance is also
important for economy and utilization. As with all quality equipment,
keep your lift truck in good operating condition by following the recom-
mended schedule of maintenance.
A lift truck should be examined by the user on a daily basis to be sure
it is safe to operate. Do not make any repairs to this truck unless you
have been trained in safe lift truck repair procedures and are authorized
by your employer.
In addition to the daily user inspection, CLARK recommends that a
planned maintenance and safety inspection program (PM) be performed
by trained and authorized personnel. Inspections, adjustments, and
repairs done during the PM increase the life of components and re-
duce unscheduled downtime. The PM can be scheduled to meet your
particular application and lift truck usage.
Your CLARK dealer is prepared to help you implement a PM program
with trained service personnel who know your lift truck and can keep it
operating safely and eciently.
