Jents,

I'm new to the Clark C500 world and I have a completely functioning C500-55 propane lift, except that it leaks transmission oil right underneath the tank.

On top of the transmission oil tank there is a petcock valve that has two labeled positions run and off. I can find nowhere in any documentation what this petcock valve does. Anyone have any experience or knowledge of this valve and it's operational and/or use?

Thanks in advance.

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
