Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between CL 3700309 and CL 352148?
A: The CL 3700309 is the newer supersession of CL 352148. The CL 3700309 is a 3-position rotary switch (Off-On-Start) with die-cast body construction and is rated for 12-24VDC systems. The CL 352148 is a 2-position ON/OFF switch. The CL 3700309 is designed for lift trucks requiring a Start position for motor engagement.
Q: Which Clark part numbers does CL 3700309 supersede?
A: The CL 3700309 supersedes Clark part numbers 1681146, 2345332, 301728, and 352148. It is equivalent to Pollak 272041 for cross-reference purposes. Verify that your Clark lift truck control circuit supports 3-position switching before ordering this replacement.
Q: What voltage range is the CL 3700309 rated for?
A: The CL 3700309 is suitable for 12-24VDC systems, making it compatible with most Clark electric lift trucks and pallet jacks that operate in this voltage range. Confirm your equipment voltage specification before installation to ensure proper operation.
Q: Is the CL 3700309 a direct replacement for equipment that originally came with CL 352148?
A: The CL 3700309 is a supersession of CL 352148, but it is not always a drop-in replacement. The CL 3700309 has a 3-position rotary function while CL 352148 has 2-position ON/OFF. Your lift truck control circuit must support 3-position switching. Contact the original equipment documentation or wiring diagram to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What contact rating does the CL 3700309 have?
A: The CL 3700309 is rated for lift truck ignition circuit applications with contact specifications designed for motor control and solenoid engagement. The switch contacts are rated for the electrical loads typical of electric lift truck ignition systems at 12-24VDC.
