Foreword
This Operator’s Manual should help you to make the best use of your
CLARK Tow Tractor. Read through the instructions carefully and
follow the given procedures strictly. Acquaint yourself with the
controls and in particular observe all the safety regulations. Carry out
all maintenance and care work at the recommended time intervals.
CLARK Tow Tractors are characterized by their easy-maintenance
design. You will therefore be able to carry out this work in a short
time and without too much effort.
Regular maintenance and care of your Tow Tractor is recommended
not just on economic grounds, but because a faulty Tow Tractor
represents a source of potential danger.
In addition you should observe all Federal, State and Local
regulations which provide inspections at set intervals of time.
For any checkup, repair, maintenance and all other work concerning
your Tow Tractor, please contact your CLARK dealer. Here, specially
trained service personnel will be glad to help you at any time. Should
you desire to carry out maintenance, repair and all other work on
your Tow Tractor yourself, you can of course obtain all required
spare parts and all necessary materials from your CLARK dealer.
Please note: Only original CLARK spare parts guarantee the trouble
free functioning and optimum economy of your Tow Tractor. Original
CLARK spare parts are the best for your Tow Tractor. With their
dimensional stability as well as their high material quality due to
continuous and strict quality control, they correspond to those parts
used in the series production of our Tow Tractors.
Finally we would like to draw your attention to the fact that any
secondary damages due to improper handling, insufficient
maintenance, wrong repairs or the use of other than original CLARK
spare parts waive any liability by CLARK.

Operator’s Manual
You must be trained and authorized to operate a Tow Tractor.
Summary of Safe Operating Procedures
1. Do not operate this Tow Tractor unless you have been trained and
authorized to do so. Read all warnings and instructions in the operator’s
manual of this truck.
2. Do not operate this Tow Tractor until you have checked it’s condition. Give
special attention to tires, horn, lights, battery, brakes, steering mechanism,
and guards.
3. Operate tractor only from designated operating position. Never place any
part of your body outside of the confines of the tractor. Do not cary
passengers.
4. Make sure the tow coupling is secure.
5. Do not handle unstable or loosely stacked loads. Use special care when
handling long, high or wide loads to avoid losing the load, striking
bystanders, or tipping the tractor. Loads on trailers must be evenly
distributed and secure.
6. Do not overload the tractor. Check the capacity plate for load weight. The
safe capacity of a tractor-trailer is its stopping ability, not its potential towing
ability.
7. Start, stop, travel, steer and brake smoothly. Slow down for turns and on
uneven or slippery surfaces that could cause the tractor to slide or overturn.
Violent application of brakes is dangerous and may cause “jack-knifing” the
trailer.
8. When making a turn, allow for “corner-cutting” of the trailer.
9. When moving in reverse direction with a trailer, get assistance if vision is
obstructed. Moving in reverse direction with more than one trailer is not
recommended.
YOU can prevent accidents
First: Learn safe operating rules and your company rules.
Next: Read your Operator’s Manual. If you do not understand
it, ask your supervisor for help.
Learn about the unit you operate.

10. Make sure correct tire pressures are maintained.
11. Before driving over a dockboard or bridge plate, make sure it is correctly
secured. Drive carefully and slowly across the dockboard or bridge plate,
and never exceed its rated capacity.
12. Do not run over objects on the traveled surface.
13. Use special care when operating on ramps - travel slowly, and do not
angle or turn.
14. If a tractor must be parked on an incline, put chocks at the wheels.
15. Observe applicable traffic regulations and YEILD the right-of-way to
pedestrians. Slow down and sound horn at cross aisles and wherever vision
is obstructed.
16. Make a report of all accidents involving personnel, building structures
and equipment to the correct authority.
17. Before getting off the tractor, neutralize the travel control and set the
parking brake. When leaving the tractor unattended, turn the ignition switch
Off.

Safety Regulations
1. The Tow Tractor
Use in accordance with the regulations.
• Tow Tractors may only be
used in accordance with the
regulations, following these
operating instructions.
• Tow Tractors are designed to
tow loads.
• If a Tow Tractor is to be used
for other purposes, permission must be obtained from
CLARK, in writing, and if necessary from the supervisory
authorities responsible, in order to prevent hazards from
arising.
Stability
• CLARK Tow Tractors are stable in the working positions and
when driving, if used with due care and attention and
observing the maximum permissible loads.
• The trailing capacity of your CLARK Tow Tractors should
never be surpassed. It would endanger its braking capacity.

Safety Regulations
2. Inspection
Inspection prior to bringing into first use
• The Tow Tractor must be
checked as to its functionality
prior to putting it into opera-
tion. The working area to be
used must be inspected as to
its ground conditions (carry-
ing capacity, flatness, suffi-
cient width).
Regular and statutory inspections
• Tow Tractors must be regularly checked by trained and
authorized service personnel. CLARK recommends an
annual check-up based on an average operational perfor-
mance.
Modification of the truck prohibited
• Unauthorized modification of the truck is not permitted, and,
in case that a problem has occurred due to a modification
without permission, the warranty service shall not be pro-
vided. For instance, the modifications which may void the
warranty include those that may negatively affect the perfor-
mance, durability and safety of the truck due to addition of
unauthorized electrical devices (lamp, black box, electrical
instrument, communication equipment, etc.), braking sys-
tem, steering system, vision improvement system and
detachable attachment device that were not mounted when
the equipment was shipped out of the factory.

Please also observe all State
and Federal laws and regula-
tions.
• Please read this Operator’s
Manual and understand the
contents carefully.
• We strongly recommend that
you wear safety clothes
suited for your work. Any
wide or loose clothing must
be avoided. Always wear a

required, safety glasses.
• Never drive your Tow Tractor
with wet or oily hands or shoes. If you slip off the brake
pedal or the wheel, serious accidents and personal injury

The working area
Operating aisles
• Never drive in areas which
are closed to Tow Tractors,
but only use aisles cleared for
Tow Tractors operation. Trav-
eling aisles and loading areas
must be clearly identified and
free of obstacles. Tow Trac-
tors shall only be used on
routes without sharp curves,
excessive slopes and gades which are too narrow or too
low. Watch the road surface - it must be sufficiently smooth
and free of bumps. Please further observe all State and Fed-
eral regulations.
Hazard areas
• Tow Tractors which are to be used in flammable or explosive
environments must be specially equipped for this purpose.
The hazard areas must be identified accordingly.
