Clark C60 Forklift Operator and Maintenance Manual (O-226)

A Clark C60 is a yard and warehouse workhorse, moving heavy pallets in tight aisles, loading trucks, and shuttling material around rough loading areas. This manual helps you plan routine service, know what to look at first during inspections, and build habits that keep the truck reliable through long shifts. If, for example, the truck starts running hotter than usual during repeated loading, this guide helps you methodically check fluids, inspect cooling components, and verify you’re not missing a simple maintenance item.

Applications & Use Cases

Plan 8‑hour and daily checks so you don’t miss critical lube points, fluid checks, or visual inspections.
Set up a realistic service schedule based on how hard the C60 is worked in your operation.
Trace minor issues early—like slow lift, dim lights, or hard starting—before they become downtime.
Verify fuse locations and basic electrical items when lights, horn, or accessories quit unexpectedly.
Standardize operator walk‑around habits so different drivers inspect the same key areas every shift.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep a digital copy on my phone or tablet at the jobsite?

A: Yes, it’s practical to use a digital copy so you can zoom diagrams and search text while standing at the truck.

Q: Is it worth printing parts of this manual?

A: Many techs print the daily/periodic check pages and keep them in a shop binder or plastic sleeve on the forklift.

Safety Note

Always lock out the truck, secure the mast, and relieve system pressure before inspecting or servicing any component.
