This manual is intended for operators of typical Clark walkie pallet and fork trucks. It has been created to in form you of the operation of the truck and to provide general material handling guidelines. This manual does not include detailed service not repair information. This information is avail- able in a separate Parts & Service Manual which is available from your Clark distributor. When reading this information, also be aware that optional equipment may be installed on your truck(s) that can change some operating.

TRUCK OPERATING CONTROL
Speed and direction of truck are controlled in same manner as a motorcycle. Rotation of either of the travel controls (truck is designed for left or right hand operation) will determine direction and speed of travel. The control can be operated either with a twisting of wrist, or with thumb action, whichever is more comfortable. Rotate control forward to travel forward, backwards for reverse. The further you rotate control (in either direction) the faster the truck will go.
Lift and lower control:
Truck is equipped with either push buttons or a manual lever for control of lift and lower functions. Controls are clearly labeled with symbols to indicate function. If equipped with push buttons, these will be the middle and lowerbuttons located in the middle of the control handle. Pressing the middle button will lower forks. Pressing the bottom button will raise forks. If equipped with a manual lever, it will be located on the dash of the truck. Pulling lever towards you (in direction of control handle), will cause forks to raise. Pushing lever away from you (in direction of truck's forks) will cause forks to lower.
Horn:
Horn is operated by pressing horn button. This button is located near top of control handle and is clearly labeled with word and symbol.
Safety reversing button:
Located at top of the control handle is a large red button/cap. When truck is moving in reverse direction and button is depressed by an obstruction or by you becoming trapped, truck will go into high speed forward and horn will sound. Do not use the safety reversing button as an operating control.
Brakes:
Brakes are applied when the control handle is in one of two positions - fully up (almost vertical) and fully down (almost horizontal). To apply brakes under normal operating conditions, simply push down on handle. To apply brakes for emergency or parking conditions, release handle. A spring attached to handle will return it to fully up position, thereby applying the brakes.
