Clark Perkins 700 Series Users Handbook, Workshop Manual

Out in yards, warehouses, and loading docks, these Clark Perkins 700 Series units work all day moving loads, feeding lines, or driving auxiliary equipment. This workshop manual is what I’d keep on the bench when I’m tearing into the engine or chasing a hard-to-find running issue. It walks you through how to strip components in a logical order, inspect wear points, and then build everything back up so it starts clean and runs right. If you’ve got an engine that’s hard to start hot and smokes under load, this book helps you trace the fault step by step instead of just throwing parts at it.

Applications & Use Cases

Plan teardown so you don’t pull more off the engine than you need to for a given repair.
Trace fuel or air faults systematically when the machine is low on power or surging.
Inspect key wear areas during scheduled overhauls to decide what truly needs replacing.
Verify adjustments after setting linkages or timing so the engine responds correctly under load.
Follow reassembly sequences to avoid missed seals, misrouted lines, and repeat leaks.

FAQ

Q: Can I keep this manual open on a tablet while I’m working?

A: Yes, it’s practical to use on a tablet; you can zoom diagrams and keep it nearby without risking greasy paper.

Q: Is it worth printing sections of this manual?

A: Many techs print the pages for the job they’re on, slip them in plastic sleeves, and mark notes or torque reminders right on them.

Safety Note

Always isolate the machine, depressurize systems, and follow lockout procedures before using this manual to start any work.
