Clark Carloader Fork Truck CL-1698 Maintenance Manual and Parts List (CL1698)

This Clark Carloader fork truck is a warehouse and dock workhorse, shuttling pallets on and off trailers and around tight storage aisles. This manual helps you plan routine service, spot wear before it becomes a breakdown, and match the right replacement parts to what’s actually on your truck. If, for example, the mast starts creeping down under load, you’d use this book to trace the issue, inspect the lift circuit components, and identify the correct seals or parts to order and install.

Applications & Use Cases

• Plan routine services so you know what to inspect at each interval and don’t miss critical lube or adjustment points.
• Verify component condition on chains, mast rollers, and steer gear before they fail in the middle of a shift.
• Identify and order parts by matching the illustrated listings to what you see on your CL1698.
• Trace hydraulic issues like slow lift or spongy tilt by following recommended checks and isolation steps.
• Set up a new-to-you truck by inspecting it on arrival and correcting storage or transport damage before putting it to work.

FAQ

Q: Can I use a digital copy of this manual on a tablet in the shop?

A: Yes, it’s handy to zoom in on parts views and search by term, but keep the device in a clean, dry spot.

Q: Is it worth printing sections of this manual?

A: Many techs print the pages they need for a job, mark notes or torque reminders, and keep them in a binder by the truck.

Safety Note

Always lock out the truck, secure raised components, and bleed stored energy before you inspect or service any system.
