Planned Maintenance (PM)
A safety inspection of a lift truck should always be made before operating it. The purpose of this daily check is to look for
obvious damage and maintenance problems, and to have minor adjustments and repairs made to correct any unsafe
condition.
The Operator’s Manual attached to the truck outlines the
daily inspection.
NOTE
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
requires that the user examine his trucks before each
shift to be sure they are in safe working order. Defects
when found shall be immediately reported and corrected.
The truck shall be taken out of service until it has been
restored to safe operating condition.
PM Program
In addition to the daily inspection, Clark strongly
recommends that you set up and follow a periodic
planned maintenance and safety inspection program
(PM) in accordance with the guidelines offered here.
Performed by a trained and authorized mechanic on a
regular basis, the PM program provides the opportunity
to make thorough inspections and checks on the safe
condition of your truck.
Necessary adjustments and repairs can be done during
the PM, which will increase the life of components and
reduce unscheduled downtime.
The
need
for
major
adjustments,
repairs,
or
replacements is found and corrections made as required;
not after failure has occurred.
The PM can be scheduled to meet your needs; the
specific schedule (frequency) for these PM inspections
will depend on the conditions of your particular
application and lift truck usage.
The recommended planned maintenance and lubrication
schedule lists those items considered essential to the
safety, life, and performance of your truck with typical
recommended service intervals. Brief procedures for
inspections, operational checks, cleaning, lubrication,
and adjustments are included for your reference.
Also noted is the PM inspection and report form which
may be obtained from your local Clark dealer.
Your local authorized Clark dealer is also prepared to
help you with your PM and repair programs if you want
assistance. He has trained service personnel who know
your lift truck and are authorized to check and repair your
truck according to the respective safety regulations to
keep it operating safely and efficiently.
