Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 997212 brush holder made from?
A: The CL 997212 is fabricated from phenolic resin and steel. The phenolic resin provides electrical insulation and heat resistance for high current endurance in motor control circuits, while the steel frame provides structural strength and mounting integrity.
Q: Which Clark models use the CL 997212 brush holder?
A: The CL 997212 is compatible with Clark electric lift truck models GE and GEX series, particularly Gen2 models. Check your equipment serial number and wiring diagram to confirm before ordering.
Q: What are the equivalent part numbers for CL 997212?
A: CL 997212 replaces Clark 915957 and Clark 987390. It is equivalent to Hyster 1387121 and Yale 524073919. Supersedes Clark 913974. Always verify fitment with your equipment documentation.
Q: What are symptoms of brush holder failure?
A: Symptoms include arcing visible in the motor junction, loss of electrical continuity between brushes and motor leads, erratic motor performance, or cracked phenolic material. A failed holder increases current draw and can damage the motor winding.
Q: Can I use this part on Hyster or Yale equipment?
A: Hyster 1387121 and Yale 524073919 are equivalent to CL 997212 in function and dimension. However, mounting boss locations and lead routing may differ. Verify against your equipment wiring schematic before substitution.
