FOREWARD This manual will help the "Qualified Operator" become familiar with the battery powered Rider type lift truck, its major components, its operating controls, special features and the function(s) of each.

Clark lift trucks are built to take hard work not abuse.

They are built to be dependable, but - as with any other truck - they are only as good as the man behind the wheel and the men responsible for maintaining them.

This publication is not a training manual but rather, a guide to help the "Qualified Operator" to safe and efficient operation of the Rider type, battery powered, Clark Lift Truck.

Illustrations in this manual guide the operator through correct procedures of checking, starting, operating, stopping and parking the lift truck.

Operator training manuals are available thru your Clark Dealer.
