Discussion:
Clutch Adjustment

So I recently just acquired a 1983-85 C500-30 Clark forklift for my shop.... It's definitely not an every day user but it's a decent running forklift for what I need it for... I need to adjust the clutch somehow and needed some advise on how to... when I let out on the clutch I almost have to let it completely out before it engages... any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If the forklift moves and clutch wont slip you do not have to adjust but if you do there will be a rod to adjust follow the movement

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
