Clark Clarklift EC60, EC70, EC80 B 36-48 Volt Forklift Operators Manual (OI-340)

These Clark EC60, EC70, and EC80 electric forklifts spend their lives in warehouses, loading docks, and plants where tight aisles and constant loading cycles are the norm. This operators manual helps you run them the way they were designed to be run—using the controls correctly, starting and shutting down without abusing the contactors, and catching small issues before they turn into motor or mast repairs. If a driver reports the truck hesitating when taking off on a ramp, this is the book I grab to verify the proper startup sequence, check indicator lights, and confirm the operator isn’t bypassing any safety interlocks.

Applications & Use Cases

• Train new operators on what each control and indicator does so they don’t learn bad habits on your nickel.
• Verify proper startup/shutdown steps to avoid arcing, battery abuse, and controller damage.
• Guide daily walk‑around inspections so leaks, loose forks, or damaged cables are caught early.
• Confirm safe load‑handling practices to protect the mast, carriage, and your racking.
• Troubleshoot basic operator complaints (no travel, no lift, warning lights) before calling in a tech.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual on a tablet in the cab?

A: Yes, it’s handy to have a digital copy for quick searches, but keep it secured and readable in your lighting conditions.

Q: Should I still print pages from it?

A: I’d print key checklists and startup/shutdown steps and post them where operators do their pre‑shift checks.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s procedures step‑by‑step before moving the truck or lifting a load.
