Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 678376-R ignition switch control?
A: The 678376-R is an industrial ignition switch for electric lift trucks. It features rotary key actuation and SPST (single pole, single throw) contacts to control 12VDC electrical system circuits in heavy-duty material handling equipment.
Q: What voltage and current rating does the 678376-R have?
A: The 678376-R is rated for 15A at 12VDC, making it compatible with standard electric lift truck and material handling equipment electrical systems.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands does the 678376-R fit?
A: The 678376-R is interchangeable with Clark and CL branded equipment. Cross-reference part numbers include Clark 611885, Clark 613472, Clark 624112, and Clark 624597. Verify your lift truck model matches before ordering.
Q: What construction material is the 678376-R made from?
A: The 678376-R features a robust die-cast zinc alloy body, engineered for durability and corrosion resistance in industrial material handling environments.
Q: Is the 678376-R equivalent to other part numbers?
A: Yes. The 678376-R is equivalent to Clark 678376 and Clark 624597, and supersedes Clark 611885. However, the exact equivalent designation depends on your specific lift truck model. Confirm compatibility with your equipment documentation before ordering.
Q: How long does the 678376-R typically last in service?
A: Lifespan varies based on duty cycle and environment. In continuous heavy-duty material handling use, the switch typically performs reliably for 2 to 4 years. Replace if the key turns without engaging contacts, intermittent power loss occurs, or the rotary mechanism becomes difficult to turn.
