The fork-lift truck Use in accordance with the regulations
Fork lift trucks may only be used in accordance with the regulations, following these operating instructions. Fork lift trucks with fork arms are designed to take up, transport and stack individual loads and palleted goods. If a fork lift truck is to be used for other purposes, permission must be gained from CLARK and if necessary from the supervisory authorities responsible, in order to prevent hazards arising. The use of attachments expands the possible uses of a fork lift truck many times over. Refer to the attachments operating manual for correct use of the accessories in accordance with the regulations. No vehicles of whatever type may be pushed with the fork-lift truck. Nor may it be used as a towing machine for rail vehicles. These prohibitions do not apply if the forklift truck is especially equipped for these purposes.
Stability
CLARK fork-lift trucks are absolutely stable in the working positions and when driving, if used with due care and attention and observing the maximum permissible loads. The proof of sufficient stability is given by CLARK through tests on a tiltable platform corresponding to the EC guideline No. 98/37/EEC.
Therefore, never overload your fork-lift truck. Take care as to the right weight and load centre of your load. The mounting of extra counter weights to increase the load capacity is not permitted. Memorize the maximum permissible rated capacities of your fork-lift truck and, if you use one or several attachments, also the remaining load capacities indicated separately for these attachments. The load capacity of a fork-lift truck is influenced by the load centre and also the lift height.
