Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the CL 998520 rectifier do?
A: The CL 998520 is a direct replacement rectifier assembly for Clark electric lift trucks. It converts AC input power to regulated DC output for battery charging circuits and control systems. It is a sealed, industrial-grade component not designed for field repair.
Q: Are there equivalent part numbers for the CL 998520?
A: No cross-reference or equivalent part numbers are available from the Clark manufacturer or approved industrial distributor technical sources. The CL 998520 is a direct replacement only. Do not substitute alternative rectifiers without verifying voltage, current rating, and physical dimensions against your equipment schematic.
Q: How do I know if the CL 998520 is failing?
A: Signs of failure include low or fluctuating DC output voltage, repeated thermal cutout events, visible case cracks or burn marks, or lift truck batteries not reaching full charge after extended charge time. Verify AC input power supply and charging connector contacts are clean before replacing the rectifier.
Q: Can I use a higher-rated rectifier to speed up charging?
A: No. Always use the exact Clark OEM part number CL 998520 for your equipment model. Oversizing a rectifier can damage battery cells, overload the transformer, or exceed the amperage rating of charging cables and connectors. Battery charging rate is controlled by the charger circuit design, not rectifier substitution.
