Q: What are the electrical specifications for the CL 996101?
A: The CL 996101 switch carries voltage and amperage ratings specific to Clark electric truck systems. Verify the switch voltage (typically 24V, 48V, or 80V DC for electric lift trucks) and the circuit amperage before ordering to ensure compatibility with your equipment.
Q: Which Clark lift truck models accept the CL 996101?
A: The CL 996101 fits multiple Clark electric pallet jack and lift truck models. Confirm your truck model number, serial range, and control system configuration against the product specifications before ordering.
Q: How do you know if the CL 996101 switch needs replacement?
