Clark CY150B, CY300B Operators Manual (O-B88-2)

These Clark CY150B and CY300B machines are typically used for heavy material handling in yards, plants, and construction sites, where they see a lot of stop‑and‑go work and tight maneuvering. This operators manual helps you run them the way they were designed to be run—using the controls correctly, warming up and shutting down without abusing the drivetrain, and catching small issues before they turn into big repairs. If, for example, the machine starts jerking when you shift direction or feels sluggish on startup, this book walks you through the right operating checks and daily inspections before you call in a mechanic.

Applications & Use Cases

• Verify correct control use so operators don’t ride the inching pedal or slam between forward and reverse.
• Set up proper startup and shutdown routines to protect the engine, transmission, and hydraulics.
• Follow daily walk‑around inspections to spot leaks, loose hardware, or tire issues early.
• Confirm safe lifting and travel habits to avoid tipping, overloading, or mast damage.
• Train new operators on what each lever, pedal, and indicator actually does in real work conditions.

FAQ

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

A: Yes, as long as the screen is readable in that lighting and protected from dust and vibration, it works well for quick checks.

Q: Is it worth printing certain pages?

A: Many shops print the startup checklist and inspection pages, laminate them, and keep them right on the machine for daily use.

Safety Note

Always follow the manual’s startup, shutdown, and inspection steps exactly—shortcuts with these machines usually turn into expensive or dangerous problems.
