Battery Safety
WARNING As a battery is being charged, an explosive
gas mixture forms within and around each
cell. If the area is not properly ventilated,
this explosive gas can remain in or around
the battery for several hours after charging.
Be sure there are no open flames or sparks
in the charging area. An open flame or
spark can ignite this gas, resulting in
serious damage or injury.
WARNING Battery electrolyte is a solution of sulfuric
acid and water. Battery acid causes burns.
Should any electrolyte come in contact with
clothing or skin, flush the area immediately
with cold water. Should the solution get on
the face or in the eyes, flush the area with
cold water and receive medical attention
immediately.
Read, understand and follow procedures, recommendations
and specifications in the battery and battery charger manuals
from the manufacturer.

Turn the key switch off before disconnecting the battery from
the truck at the battery connector. Do NOT break live circuits
at the battery terminals. A spark often occurs at the point
where a live circuit is broken.

Do NOT lay tools or metal objects on top of battery. A short


circuit or explosion could result.

Keep batteries clean. Corrosion causes shorts and possibly


sparks to the frame.
Keep plugs, terminals, cables, and receptacles in good
condition to avoid shorts and sparks.

Static Safety
Electronic circuit board and devices used on truck can be
damaged by the discharge of static electricity, called
electrostatic discharge.
Static charges can accumulate from normal operation of
truck as well as movement or contact between nonconductive materials such as, plastic bags, synthetic clothing,
synthetic soles on shoes, styrofoam coffee cups, etc.
Accumulated static can be discharged through human skin to
a circuit board or component by touching the parts. Static
discharge is also possible through the air when a charged
object is placed close to another surface at a different
electrical potential. Static discharge can occur without
seeing or feeling it.
Whenever working on or near static-sensitive electronics,
always use static discharge precautions.
1. Place a static discharge wrist strap around the wrist.
Connect the ground lead to the wrist strap connector.
2. Connect the ground clamp to an unpainted, ground
surface on truck frame.
3. If removing or installing static-sensitive components,
place them on a properly grounded static mat.
4. To transport static-sensitive components, including failed
components being returned, place the components in an
antistatic bag or box.
The wrist strap and associated accessories should be tested
monthly to verify they are working properly. A defective static
discharge wrist band will not alert that it is bad.

WARNING Flame cutting or welding on painted
surfaces may produce potentially harmful
fumes, smoke and vapors. Prior to
performing flame cutting or welding
operations, it is recommended that the
coating be removed in the vicinity where the
operation(s) will be performed.
WARNING Coating removal may be by mechanical
methods, chemical methods or a
combination of methods. Flame cutting and/
or welding operations should be carried out
only in well ventilated areas using local
exhaust if necessary.
Before working on truck, make sure of the following:
Fire protection equipment is nearby.
Know where the nearest eyewash station is located.

CAUTION Disconnect battery before attempting to


inspect, service or repair truck.

1. Presentation of the Rider Trucks.
The RRX35/45 are battery powered reach trucks. The RDX30
is a battery powered deep reach truck. The RSX40/50 are
battery powered straddle arm trucks.
These trucks are intended solely to be operated handling
pallets or similar load carriers indoors. The trucks are
equipped with a steering wheel with all the controls for
operating within easy access.
The trucks have various maximum lifting capacities (review
data plate on the truck to note the maximum lifting capacity)
and are equipped with a 24V or 36V electrical system. Speed
of the truck is regulated by means of a transistor controller to
provide infinite control of acceleration and speed while
driving.
The forks and auxiliary functions are controlled by means of a
transistor controller. Control of the lift and auxiliary functions
are done electrically with the levers on the control pod.
Control of the speed and positioning of the forks when
stacking is done by the position of the levers.
The trucks can be fitted with different accessories including
sideshifter, warning light, lights/fan package, travel alarm,
and adjustable driving lights. The trucks can be specially
equipped to work in cold conditions.

1.1. Truck Side Views


The terms rearward and forward used indicate the front and
back side of the truck as viewed from the operators line of
sight for proper operation of truck. The terms right-hand and
left-hand used indicate the right and left side of the truck as
viewed from the operators line of sight for proper operation of
truck.

The truck compartment has an open back design. The United
States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has determined that when a stand up
narrow aisle lift truck tips over the operator should be trained
to step off the truck. The open back design allows the
operator to make the quickest exit from the truck should the
truck begin to tip over or fall from an elevated height such as
a loading dock or ramp. The ease of entering and exiting the
open back design also minimizes operator fatigue.

1. Introduction
Threaded fasteners such as bolts, nuts, cap screws, and
studs are made to specifications that describe the mechanical
strength and hardness of the fastener. A fastener used in a
design application is selected in accordance with its
specifications. Parts used on this truck are purchased from
many countries. Many of these fasteners are similar but
cannot be used as direct replacements.
Service persons must use replacement fasteners that have
the same specifications. Fasteners made to each
specification have identification marks for that specification.
This specification is commonly called grade for SAE
standards and property for metric standards. This section
describes the identification of some common fasteners.
The metric system used is described as SI (International
System of Units, also called SI in all languages). The SI
system of measurement is described in ISO Standard 1000,
1973.

2. Nomenclature, Threads
The thread design is specified by a series of numbers and
letters for inch and metric fasteners (see figure below). The
diameter of the shank of the fastener is shown first in the
series, e.g. M12=12 mm, M20=20 mm (1/2=1/2 inch, 3/4=3/4
inch).

The number of threads per inch is normally not shown for inch
nomenclature and only the UNC (Unified National Coarse) or
UNF (Unified National Fine) is shown. This number of threads
per inch is not shown because a UNC or UNF fastener has a
standard number of threads per inch for a specific diameter.
The length of a shank is often indicated as part of the
description of a fastener. This length is shown in inches for
inch fasteners and in millimeters for metric fasteners.
A cap screw will have the following description:

3. Strength Identification
The most common property classes for metric fasteners are
8.8 and 10.9. The property class is marked with a number on
the head of the cap screw or on a nut. Property classes less
then 8.8 are often not marked. Grades for inch bolts go from 2
to 8. Grade 2 fasteners normally do not have marks. The
following tables show the marks that identify the grades and
property classes for different fasteners.
WARNING When fasteners must be replaced the new
fasteners must be of the same strength or
greater than the original fasteners. The new
fasteners must also be the correct size.
NOTE!

Identification marks are according to bolt


strength. The higher the number, or the
increase in the number of marks, indicates
increased bolt strength.

Introduction, Maintenance
The schedules of maintenance and lubrication given in this
section of the Service Manual cover up to one years
operation of a truck. These schedules are based on hourly
usage and can be adapted to suit most normal one shift
patterns. The following hourly usage figures have been used
when calculating the schedule:
Single shift, 30 hours per week usage
Double shift, 60 hours per week usage
Triple shift, 90 hours per week usage
The schedules are intended only as a guide, not as a rigid
structure. Operators of trucks may wish to adapt them to local
requirements; but it is emphasized that the schedules
represent minimum manufacturer requirements, and all items
should be included in a service program to ensure minimum
downtime and a high safety status of the equipment.
Use only spare parts approved by BT PrimeMover.
Always clean the equipment and carry out a full
safety check after service.

1. Jacking Truck Off The Floor


To perform maintenance that requires the truck to be lifted
from the floor, observe the proper safety precautions as
follows:
Adjustment bolt
Pivot plate

1. Lower the forks completely. Remove any load.


2. Turn key switch OFF and disconnect battery
connector from the truck.
3. If possible, stabilize the top of the mast with an
overhead chain hoist.
4. Before jacking the truck, check the stop block and
adjustment bolt on the pivot plate to make sure
they are in good condition. If the block or
adjustment bolt are excessively worn or missing,
take the truck out of service and contact your local
BT Prime-Mover Product Support Representative.
WARNING Use extreme care whenever the truck is
jacked up for any reason. Never block the
truck between the mast column and floor.
Use a suitable hoist to stabilize the mast.
Keep hands and feet clear from beneath
truck while jacking. Use jack stands or solid
blocks to support the truck, do not rely on
jacks.
5. Place the jack under the designated jacking points.

Jack only in these areas

1.1. Elevate Rear of Truck


1. Place the jack in the designated jacking position.
2. Jack the rear of the truck so the drive tire is off the
floor no more than 3 inches (76 mm).
3. Block truck in place.

2. Planned Maintenance Procedures


This section describes how to perform the services listed in
the Schedule of Planned Maintenance Operations. As with
the Schedule, this section is subdivided into service
intervals.

2.1. Services Performed Daily or Every 8


Operating Hours
The daily inspection is to be made by the operator prior to
each operating shift. It is the operator's responsibility to report
any defects to the proper authorities. The truck should not be
operated until it has been inspected and repaired by a
trained, qualified, and authorized technician. The operator is
ultimately responsible for the safe operation of reach truck.
2.1.1. Battery Discharge Indicator with slow down
The battery discharge indicator indicates the current charge
status of trucks battery. (See Battery Discharge Indicator
Parameter Adjustment on page 384.)
1

Full charge battery

1/2

Half charged battery

Discharged battery

The battery discharge indicator has an integrated cut-out


function that slows down trucks lift function when a
predetermined charge level has been reached. This prevents
overloading the battery and increases the operating economy
of truck. When the battery has reached a charge level
equivalent to 70% discharge, a warning signal is given via
flashing lights. A further 10% of the batterys capacity can
then be used before the battery discharge indicator slows
down the lift function.
2.1.2. Hydraulic System
Inspect entire truck for leaks, especially around hydraulic
pump assembly and lift cylinders. Any sign of oil on the floor
under truck is an indication that truck may be leaking
hydraulic oil or transmission fluid. Report any problems to the
proper authorities, and DO NOT operate truck until it has
been inspected and repaired by a trained, qualified, and
authorized technician.

2.1.3. Frame/Sheet Metal


Inspect truck for loose, damaged or missing parts. All shields
must be in place and functional. Report any problems to the
proper authorities. DO NOT operate truck until it has been
inspected and repaired by a trained, qualified, and authorized
technician.
2.1.4. Wheels/Tires
Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Trash that is
wrapped around wheels and axles will cause premature tire
wear and bearing damage. The floors should be kept clear of
trash to prevent damage to wheels and tires.
2.1.5. Functions/Operations
Test truck for the proper operation of all functions including
the travel controls, lift and lower functions, brakes, and
emergency disconnect button. Safety devices must be
operational. Report any problems to the proper supervisors.
DO NOT operate truck until it has been inspected and
repaired by a trained, qualified, and authorized technician.

2.2. Services Performed Monthly or Every


120 Operating Hours
The monthly planned maintenance service should be
performed by a trained, qualified, and authorized technician.
2.2.1. Inspection
All services and inspections listed above for the daily
inspection should be performed at this time. The inspection
procedure should be more thorough, and minor deficiencies
should be corrected.
2.2.2. Transmission
Inspect for oil leakage.
2.2.3. Brakes
When the foot is lifted from the brake pedal it should stop a
fully loaded truck at full speed in approximately one truck
length.

2.2.4. Battery
Contact your battery dealer for specific instructions on care
and maintenance of the battery. An average battery will have
a specific gravity of 1.170 at the 80% discharged level.
However, there are many different batteries on the market.
Only the battery manufacturer can accurately determine the
fully charged and 80% charged levels. Contact the battery
manufacturer for this information.
2.2.5. Electrical Connections
Check that all electrical connections are clean and tight. Plugin connectors should be unplugged and plugged back in to
clean terminals. If the truck is equipped with any of the coldstorage, freezer use, or corrosive environment application
packages, the di-electric compound in the plug-in connectors
should be renewed.
2.2.6. Contactor Tips (NOT Sealed)
Inspect contactor tips for arcing, pitting, or burning. Minor
pitting of the tips is not a problem. However, if tips are pitted
through the tip to the copper bar, tips should be replaced. DO
NOT file tips. Replace tips only in complete sets. Some
contactors have concealed tips or fully sealed so tips cannot
be replaced.
2.2.7. Motor Brushes
The drive motor and pump motor are equipped with a brush
wear sensor which will indicate when brushes need replacing.
For minimum brush length see page 57. As a rule of thumb,
brushes should be replaced if brush spring is within 0.0625
inch (1.59 mm) of touching brush holder.
2.2.8. Drive Motor
Blow out drive motor fan and vents. Check for any signs of oil
on drive motor fan and air vents. Check for any damage to
fan or air vents.
WARNING Compressed air used for cleaning MUST
be reduced to less than 30 psi (206 kPa)
and then only with effective chip-guarding
and personal protective equipment worn.

2.2.9. Hydraulic Reservoir


Check fluid level in the hydraulic reservoir.
2.2.10. Frame Lube
The pressure type grease fittings (zerk fittings) should be
lubricated with grease (see page 84). The total number of
grease fittings depends on truck options when built (see
page 83). A truck with a cold-storage, freezer use, or
corrosive environment application package will have more
grease fittings than a standard truck. Look for flush-type
grease fittings on the load wheel axles. Regular fittings may
be found on the transmission mounting bearing and mast
chain sheave shafts.
2.2.11. Pivot Points
There are pivot points and other items that need to be
lubricated but do not have grease fittings. Lubricate these
non-greasable wear points with a drip oil can using 10 weight
machine oil.

2.3. Services Performed Every 480 or 960


Operating Hours
The planned maintenance service should be performed by a
trained, qualified, and authorized technician.
2.3.1. Drive Motor
Since the operating environment of material handling
equipment varies widely, the following recommendations are
suggested for periodic maintenance inspections for the drive
motor armature.
Normal Service 8 hours per day operation
Routine inspection every 960 hours (8 months).
Severe Service 24 hours of daily operation
1. Dusty or sandy locations; such as a cement plant,
lumber or flour mills, coal dust or stone-crushing
areas.
2. High temperature areas; such as steel mills,
foundries, etc.
3. Sudden temperature changes (continuous in-dooroutdoor movement) that is refrigeration plant, etc.
Routine inspection every 480 hours (4 months).

2.4. Services Performed Annually or Every


1440 Operating Hours
The annual planned maintenance service will take a longer
period of time to complete than does the monthly service.
This would be a good time to arrange other repairs that have
been noted on the monthly service.
2.4.1. Inspection
All services and inspections listed for the daily and monthly
inspection should be performed at this time. The inspection
procedure should be more thorough, and minor deficiencies
should be corrected.
2.4.2. Transmission
The transmission fluid should be drained once a year. The
drain port is located on the lower portion of the side cover
opposite the drive tire. Remove bolt to drain transmission
fluid. Flush transmission case. Pour a clean solution into the
fill port accessed from the battery compartment. With the
drive tire off the floor, allow solution to run out of drain port
while transmission is running. Stop flushing when the solution
runs clean. Allow the solution to drain well before replacing
drain plug bolt. Replace drain plug bolt. Refill transmission
with proper clean oil before operating truck.
2.4.3. Battery
At approximately 1500 hours, contact an authorized battery

2.4.4. Hydraulic System


The hydraulic system should be drained, flushed and refilled,
and the pressure relief valve setting should be checked and
adjusted. This will maintain proper lubrication properties
within the system.
WARNING Before siphoning oil from reservoir, make
certain siphon is clean.
To drain reservoir, remove reservoir filter assembly. Siphon
oil from reservoir and purge oil out of hydraulic system. Fill
reservoir with proper clean oil. Operate the raise and lower
function several times to purge air from the system. Check oil
level. Put rated truck capacity load on forks and adjust
pressure relief valve, if necessary, so that truck will lift rated
load.
2.4.5. Brakes
Follow procedures for brake removal before inspecting.
Remove brake assembly and inspect friction disc for wear.
The friction disc should be replaced once thickness is 0.25
inch (6 mm) or less. The armature and magnetic coil should
be adjusted if machine will not meet stopping and holding
specifications. The air gap should not exceed 0.018 inch
(0.46 mm) and should remain within 0.003 inch (0.076 mm)
throughout the circumference.
2.4.6. Lift and Carriage Chains.
Lift and carriage chains should be checked every 720 hours.
A chain gauge should be used to check stretch of the links.
To adjust inner columns, loosen jam nut and tighten chains
equally until the top of the columns are level in the fully
lowered position. Retighten jam nut and torque. Carriage
chains should be adjusted in the fully lowered position. Adjust
chains until the top of forks are 2.0 inches (50.8 mm) off of the
floor.

Troubleshooting Guidelines
1. General
Troubleshooting can be broken down into two sections: (1)
mechanical and (2) electrical circuits. Electrical circuits can
be further broken down into control circuit and power circuit.
Many hours of troubleshooting time can be saved by knowing
the exact operational symptoms. If the proper switch operates
for the chosen direction and speed, the problem can be found
in the controller or the power circuit of that function.
Voltage tests are made with the negative lead of the
voltmeter connected to battery negative if the negative lead is
connected to a negative terminal on the electrical panel. First,
verify the negative connection to the battery by touching the
positive meter lead to the positive battery post. The battery
voltage must be at least 25.2 volts for a 24 volt system. If the
battery voltage is below 22 volts (no load), the controller may
not operate properly. The battery voltage must be at least
37.8 volts for a 36 volt system. If the battery voltage is below
33 volts (no load), the controller may not operate properly.
Charge the battery before starting the troubleshooting
procedures.
When testing voltage, the positive side of any component
refers to the terminal on that component that is closest
electrically to the battery positive terminal. The negative
side of any component refers to the terminal on that
component that is farthest electrically from the battery
positive terminal. It is possible, and in many cases desirable,
to measure battery voltage at both the positive and negative
side of a component.
Rearward direction refers to travel in the direction of the
truck with the forks trailing. Forward direction refers to travel
with the forks first.
After the final test is completed, the truck should be repaired
and operating properly. If it is not, then verify test results and
possibly re-evaluate the failure symptoms. If truck is still not
repaired, then call your local authorized BT Prime-Mover
Dealer for assistance.

Actual battery voltage at open circuit

Actual battery voltage at open circuit at


hydraulic operation under full load

Operating symptoms

Exact results of the testing performed

Perform the following steps before starting all troubleshooting


procedures:
1. Inspect truck for physical damage or mechanical
malfunction. Contactors must be free to move and
tips must not be welded or burnt.
2. Check for ground faults from the electrical system
to the frame with an ohmmeter. A minimum of
20,000 ohms resistance from the frame to any and
all wiring is acceptable.
3. Check that the battery is fully charged and
connected.
4. Operate truck in all modes to determine the exact
symptoms. DO NOT forget that systems are
equipped with circuits that prevent operation in the
event of improper operating procedures.

2. Electrical
Many problems are caused by a faulty or dirty battery. Make
sure the battery is clean. Check the electrolyte level and state
of charge.
CAUTION Be sure to block truck whenever a
troubleshooting procedure requires turning
key switch (S17) ON. This will avoid
accidents caused by unexpected lift truck
travel.
CAUTION Unless otherwise directed, disconnect
battery connector when checking electrical
circuits or components with an ohmmeter.
Electrical current can damage the
ohmmeter.
For error code listings see pages 393, 394, 396. For
programming parameters see page 401. Visually inspect all
wiring and electrical components for the following:

Loose connections or connectors

Loose or broken terminals

Damaged terminals, blocks, or strips

Broken wiring and shorted conditions


(especially those that are close to metal edges
or surfaces)

Use an ohmmeter to check for wiring continuity.

2.1. Shorts to Frame Test


Shorts to frame is an industry term for unintentional current
leakage paths between normally isolated electrical circuits
and their metal enclosures.
Shorts to frame may be metallic connections, such as a wire
conductor contacting metal through worn insulation. More
often, shorts to frame are resistive leakage paths caused by
contamination and/or moisture.

These leakage paths can result in unwanted electrical noise


on the metallic truck structure, and may result in improper
operation.
Shorts to frame can be caused by the following:

Accumulation of dirt

Battery electrolyte leakage

Motor brush dust

Motor brush leads touching housing

Breakdown in insulation

Bare wires

Pinched wiring harness

Improper mounting of circuit cards

Shorts to frame can occur at numerous locations on truck


including the following:

To test for shorts to frame:


1. Turn the key switch OFF and disconnect battery
connector from the truck.
2. To test battery for shorts to case, connect a 12-volt
test light to battery case from battery B+, and then
to battery case from battery B-. If it lights at all,
even momentarily, there is a problem with the
battery, either external contamination or internal
damage. DO NOT continue until this condition
is corrected. Meter may be damaged if
proceeding before correcting condition. Install
another battery in truck and repeat procedure from
step 1. If the test light does not light, continue to
the next step.
3. With the battery disconnected from truck, use a
digital volt/ohm/ammeter on the ampere function to
measure the leakage current from the battery case
to battery B+ and from battery case to battery B-.
Begin measuring at the highest Ampere scale and
work toward the lowest. A reading of more than
0.001 ampere (1 mA) indicates a short. DO NOT
continue until this condition is corrected. The
meter may be damaged if proceeding before
correcting condition. Install another battery in truck
and repeat procedure from step 1. If current is less
than 0.0002 ampere (0.2 mA), go to step 4. If
current is greater than 0.0002 ampere (0.2 mA)
and less than 0.001 ampere (1 mA), remove
battery from truck, and continue with step 4.
Ensure battery case does not touch truck frame
during the remaining tests.
4. With battery disconnected (or removed and
disconnected) from truck, use a digital ohmmeter
to measure the resistance from truck frame to truck
B+, to truck B- (NOT battery B+ and B-), and to all
fuses and motors. A reading of less than 1000
ohms indicates a short. DO NOT continue until
this condition is corrected. Meter may be
damaged if proceeding before correcting condition.

a. To identify cause of short to frame, disconnect


circuit components until the low resistance
condition disappears. Do not reconnect
components one at a time, but leave
disconnected until the low resistance reading
disappears. Prevent disconnected terminals or
connectors from touching truck frame or other
conductive surfaces.
b. The most likely areas to check are as follows:
Motors
Heat sinks
Power cables
Power circuit components
Control circuit components
c. Repair or replace the component causing the
low resistance condition, then repeat Step 4.
d. Reconnect all other components previously
disconnected, one at a time, measuring
resistance between steps. If a reading is less
than 1000 ohms when reconnecting a
component, that component or its wiring is
defective; repair or replace as appropriate.
e. When all components are reconnected, and
readings are greater than 1000 ohms, continue
with the next step.
5. Connect battery connector to the truck and turn key
switch ON. If battery was previously removed,
ensure battery case does not touch truck frame.
6. Use a volt/ohm/ammeter on the current function
meter to measure leakage current to truck frame
from B+, B-, and all fuses and motor terminals.
Begin measuring at the highest ampere scale and
work toward the lowest. If current is less than 0.001

NOTE!

Proper care and cleanliness should be


observed when servicing a lift truck to
ensure that the oil does not become
contaminated with dirt or other foreign
material. Contaminants drawn into the
pump may cause the pump to stick, score,
or fail.

For error code listings see pages 393, 394, and 396. For
programming parameters see page 401. If the hydraulic
pump assembly does not operate properly, the following
preliminary checks should be made:

Proper oil level

All electrical connections tight

Battery fully charged

CAUTION After elevating or reaching the carriage for


troubleshooting, be sure to use blocks to
secure the carriage.
Use extreme care when blocking the mast
for any reason. Never remove a block when
it is supporting the mast.

96

Return

Lower the carriage fully and retract the reach


mechanism fully.

If truck is equipped with tilt, set the forks level,


not tilted either up or down.

If truck is equipped with sideshift, center the


forks horizontally.

When checking voltage at solenoids, make sure


hydraulic lines and components are fully
installed.

Whenever possible, keep the key switch OFF


and battery connector disconnected.

4. Definitions
Auxiliary Function. A hydraulic function other than lift/lower.
Included on the truck is reach/retract, tilt, and sideshift. Some
auxiliary functions, or aux functions, are options not present
on every truck.
Continuity. A continuous and uninterrupted path between
two or more locations in an electrical circuit, typically having a
resistance of less than 1 ohm.
Brake Pedal Switch. The switch in the truck that must be
opened to allow lift truck operation. It is activated by the
operator stepping on the foot pedal thus engaging the brake
pedal. Travel is prohibited when the brake is applied.
High Speed Travel Limit. A reduced speed initiated when
the truck is driven and carriage is elevated above a certain
mast height. This is a feature that limits the speed of travel
with an elevated mast and helps prevent unstable load
conditions.
Mast Assembly. The elevating section of truck, bolts to the
truck section adjacent to the battery. The mast assembly
consists of column sections, carriage assembly, lift cylinders,
lift chains, etc.
Mast Switch. A switch on the mast upper position switch is
actuated when the carriage is above a certain height on the
mast. This switch regulates mast transition speeds.
Open Circuit. A lack of a continuous path between two or
more electrical connections. Generally, when such a circuit is
tested, it will have a resistance greater than ten megohms.
Overtemperature (Power Amplifier). Overtemperature
of
o
o
the motor power amplifier is from 185 F (85 C) and above.
At overtemperature the drive current limit is linearly
decreased from full set current down to zero. Plug current is
not reduced to provide full vehicle braking under all thermal
conditions.
Pulse Width Modulation. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM),
also called chopping, controls the speed of the motor by
switching the battery voltage to the motor on and off very
quickly.

Short Circuit or Short. A short circuit is an unspecified


path in a circuit that provides unwanted full or partial
continuity between two or more locations in an electrical
circuit.
Example: Two insulated wires are physically next
to each other and the insulation has been worn off
each of the wires. Because the conductors inside
each wire are now touching each other, there is a
short circuit.
Example: A power cable from the battery to a
junction post in the truck has had the insulation
worn away. Because the wire conductors are
touching the truck frame, there is a short circuit of
the battery cable.
Chassis. The body section of the truck that contains the
battery, motors, drive unit, controls, and handle. The mast
assembly bolts to the chassis, which is adjacent to the
battery.
Undertemperature. When the power amplifier is operating at
less than 13o F (25o C), the current limit is cut back
resulting in reduced travel speed.

Schedule/Troubleshooting
1. General Information
A routine maintenance schedule with recorded findings is the
best way to reduce costly shut-downs and repair of
equipment during operating hours. The goal of any
maintenance program, long-life and trouble-free operations is
related to the time spent making inspections and correcting
minor problems as they occur. The drive motor and pump
motor are both equipped with brush sensors. When brushes
are in need of replacement, a warning code C16 for the pump
motor and C-17 for the drive motor will show on the dash
display.

2. Operating Conditions
Operating environment of reach truck motors varies
widely: The following recommendations should be applied as
actual conditions dictate.
Normal Service:

Basically an eight hour day of indoor


material handling.

Severe Service:

Extended operating hours, or constant


usage.

Extreme Service:

yChemical Processing
yFreezer operation

Motor Repair
1. Disassembly
1. Remove motor from truck (for pump motor see
page 141 and for drive motor see page 149).
2. Remove band from end head commutator of
motor.
3. Use a brush hook to reach into the motor and lift
brush springs. Pull brushes out of brush holders.
Either position brushes outside the motor or
remove brush retaining screws and remove
brushes from motor.
4. Scribe or center punch locating marks in the end
head and frame. Although locating marks are not
always necessary, they can save time when the
motor does not have locating pins.
5. Remove commutator end head retaining screws.
Most motors have a slip fit bearing at the
commutator end allowing the end head to be
removed with very little trouble. On motors that
have a shaft extension on both ends of the
armature, the attachment on the commutator end
of the shaft must be removed before the end head
can be separated from the motor.
6. Remove drive end head retaining screws, if
necessary. Some smaller pump motors retain the
drive end head with the motor through bolts.
Separate the armature and head assembly as an
assembly from the frame and field coil assembly.
CAUTION Use caution and DO NOT damage the
armature during removal. If the shaft,
coupling or spline is damaged when
removing the end head, the armature or the
drive spline usually has to be replaced.
7. Separate the armature from the drive end head by
pressing the armature out of the drive end bearing.
On some of the larger motors, the end head and
bearing will have to be removed with a puller.

Puller

When a puller is used, protect the end of the


armature shaft with a nut or a thick flat washer.
8. Separate bearing from the end head. On larger
motors, the bearing is retained with a snap ring.
Remove the snap ring. Then press the bearing out
of the end head.

Propane torch

9. The ventilation fan (if equipped) material is of cast


aluminum. Once fans have been pressed onto the
armature, they must be heated to be removed
without damage.
10. Install a puller and apply slight pressure against the
fan (if equipped). Use a small propane torch to
heat the area of the fan around the shaft. When the
fan becomes loose on the shaft, as evidenced by
the puller becoming loose, remove as quickly as
possible.

Use Loctite on
this area of shaft

11. When the fan (if equipped) is reassembled on the


shaft, make sure it is a tight fit. Use Loctite
Retaining Compound 40 or equivalent on the
inside of the fan hub when reassembling fan.
12. After the motor has been separated into all its
major subassemblies, the components should be
cleaned and inspected for wear or damage.

2. Motor Inspection
A good planned maintenance program will save many hours
of future down time on a piece of equipment. Maintenance
schedules should consist of periodic routine inspections of
motors, battery and wiring circuitry.

2.1. External Motor


Routine motor inspection should include the following:
1. Check for clean, tight terminal studs and mounting
bolts.
2. Cooling holes must be kept free of any debris or
restriction, which would prevent proper airflow and
hamper cooling.
3. Internal and external spline drives must be
periodically lubricated in accordance with the
original manufacturers recommendation.
4. Check for any sign of oil leaks.
5. Make visual inspection of brush and commutation
area. Headband, if equipped, should be removed
for clear, proper viewing.

2.2. Brush and Commutator


The most important part of any planned maintenance
schedule is the brush and commutator inspection. By
recognizing undesirable commutator and/or brush conditions,
corrective action can be taken before a major component is
damaged beyond serviceability.
Brush and commutator inspection can usually be
accomplished by removing the cover band (if equipped) from
the commutator end of the motor. The brushes and
commutator should be inspected for even wear and good
commutation. Good commutation will be indicated by a dark
brownish, polished commutator and an evenly polished brush
wearing surface. If the commutator appears rough, pitted,
scored or has signs of burning or heavy arcing between the
commutator bars, the motor should be removed for servicing.

For a detailed inspection of the commutator, the motor should


be disassembled. With the armature supported on both
bearing journals, check run-out of commutator with a dial
gauge. Total indicated run-out should not exceed 0.003 inch
(0.0762 mm) or 0.001 inch (0.0254 mm) bar to bar. If the
readings fall outside this limit, commutator must be turned
and reundercut. After the commutator has been undercut, the
armature should be placed in a lathe and the commutator
lightly sanded with No. 00 sandpaper. This will remove any
burrs left from the undercutting operation. Clean commutator
with dry compressed air and recheck commutator run-out.

Brushes should be inspected for uneven wear and signs of
overheating such as discolored brush shunts and brush
springs. See Table 1. Unsatisfactory Brush Performance on
page 127. Check the brush holders for physical damage and
make sure they are not loose on the end head or the brush
holder plate. Check the brush springs for correct alignment on
the brush. A brush spring that does not apply equal pressure
on the center of the brush will cause the brush to wear
unevenly. Check for correct clearance and freedom of brush
movement in the holder. If any of the brushes are worn to the
point that replacement is necessary, the complete brush set
should be replaced. Do not replace just one or two brushes.
When brush service is required on the motor, lift brush spring
over holding bracket before removing brush.

Put Spring In This


Position For Brush Removal

Do not substitute brushes. The brushes are matched to the


motor type and application to provide the best service.
Substituting brushes of the wrong grade can cause
commutator damage or excessive brush wear.
WARNING Compressed air used for cleaning MUST
be reduced to less than 30 psi (206 kPa)
and then only with effective chip-guarding
and personal protective equipment worn.
NOTE!

Blow stone dust out with dry compressed


air.

After the installation of new brushes, the motor should be


operated at 12 Volts, no load and brushes seated to the
commutator with a dressing stone. Remove stone dust.
Minimum commutator diameter before armature needs to be
replaced is specified on original manufacturers test
specification.

2.3. Bearings
After the motor has been disassembled, it is recommended
that new bearings are installed. Bearings may have been
damaged during removal. Although the bearings may appear
and feel good, the bearing races could be brinelled and fail
within a relatively short period of service.

2.4. Armature Electrical Check


Before the armature is reassembled into the motor, the
following test should be performed.
1. Check armature for grounded circuits by placing
one test lead of a Dielectric Breakdown Tester on
the commutator and the other lead at the armature
shaft. If the test light comes on, the armature is
grounded.
2. For short circuit connection, one armature is tested
on a growler using a hacksaw plate to locate any
shorted windings.
3. All motor armatures are wave wound and can be
short circuit tested. For helpful maintenance guides
for proper servicing of motors, see page 71.

2.5. Frame & Field Service


Recommendation
Motors disassembled for servicing should also include a
complete inspection of the frame and field assembly. It is not
uncommon that the frame and field of a motor becomes
exceptionally dirty after many hours of operation. This may
result in a grounding condition due to dirt, grease and other
foreign materials. In this case it is recommended to clean the
complete frame and field in a cleaning solution. After
cleaning, the frame and field must be oven-cured for one hour
at 300F (148C). Add a coat of WS-200 PT George Varnish
for proper insulation protection. This is a Class H water
soluble varnish. A similar air-dry varnish may also be used
providing it has a Class H thermal specification.
If new field coils are installed the cross-over connection
should be brazed for a good sound connection and to prevent
breakage due to vibration. It is not recommended that
connections be soldered. Motor terminals should be torqued
to 140 in-lbs (15.82 Nm). Pole piece screws should be
torqued to 250-300 in-lbs (28-33 Nm).
NOTE!

Do not use a torch for the crossover


connection. The insulation of the field coils
is easily damaged by this method.

A high capacity resistance power unit with a plier-type


handpiece may be used for brazing field connections.

1.1. Fluid Changing Procedure


1. Remove drain plug (28, see page 159) from drive
unit and drain all the fluid.
2. Reinstall drain plug.
NOTE!

Level plug may be accessed through


battery compartment.

3. Remove fill level plug (35, see page 159).


4. Refill using the proper grade fluid. The capacity of
the drive unit is 1 gallon (3.785 liters).
CAUTION Incorrect selection of fluid, for a particular
application, may cause damage. No
warranty will be considered on component
damage resulting from incorrect fluid
selection.

1.2. Removal
1. Park truck on a level surface.
2. Turn key switch OFF and disconnect battery
connector from the truck.
CAUTION Any misalignment of tire and hub while tire
is being pressed onto hub can cause
damage to hub. For this reason, chamfers
have been provided on the outside edge of
hub and on the end of the inside diameter
of tires metal insert. The chamfers help to
center hub and tire during the pressing
operation and reduce the possibility of
misalignment. To prevent damage, hub
must be installed on circular ram with its
chamfered side up.
3. Jack the rear of truck so the drive and caster
wheels are approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) off the
floor. Block truck in this position.
4. Drain transmission fluid.

5. Remove drive tire (see page 185).


6. Place drive tire face down on the floor. Slide it
under the transmission to act as a cradle to keep
the transmission upright when it is unbolted from
truck frame. There should be an 1/2 inch (25.4
mm) gap between the tire and the transmission
before the transmission is unbolted.
7. Remove drive motor (see page 149).
8. Using an 3/4 inch (19 mm) socket remove six bolts
(13) that secure the transmission to truck frame.
9. Tap transmission with a rubber mallet to break it
loose from the frame. The transmission will drop
down, into the recess in the back of the drive tire.
10. Using a hoist, lift the truck high enough to slide the
transmission, in the tire cradle, out from
underneath the truck.

1.3. Installation
1. Place transmission in drive tire and slide
transmission, in the tire cradle, beneath the truck.
Using a hoist, lower the truck frame onto the
transmission. Be careful not to pinch hands
between the transmission and the truck frame.
2. Line grease fittings up with the indentations in the
frame.
3. The half-moon shaped piece mounted to the top
surface of the transmission should be toward the
left so that the sensors will read the wheel position
correctly.
4. Guide the transmission, with one hand through the
hole in the truck frame, while lowering the frame
onto the transmission.
NOTE!

WARNING Block all wheels to prevent truck from
rolling.
1. Be sure truck is securely blocked with key switch
OFF and the battery at the battery connector
disconnected.
WARNING The magnetic coil (2) and armature (3) are
under pressure. DO NOT remove retaining
screws (9) without the manual release
screws (11) in place.
WARNING The two manual release screws (11) must
be fully tightened before removing three
brake retaining screws (9). Screws (11) are
used as a tool for braking. Size of the screw
is 8 mm x 1.25 thread x 37.5 mm. Refer to
Section 3000 of the Parts Book for the part
number of screw (11).
2. Fully tighten two manual release screws (11).
3. Remove three screws (9) holding brake parts and
set aside, ensuring all parts are clean and dry.
Avoid making adjustable spacers (7) if possible,
thus maintaining correct axial air gap when
reassembled. The mounting plate is secured to
drive motor with screw (9).
4. Secure brake hub (4) to motor shaft. It should not
interfere with mounting plate (6).
5. Slide friction plate (5) onto hub spline and up to

8. Check air gap and adjust if necessary. (See the


following paragraph for adjustment instructions.)
9. After making adjustment, check that brake will
release when power is applied.

3. Adjustments
NOTE!

Do Not remove retaining screws (9).


Adjustment is carried out by using a 9/16
inch (14 mm) open end wrench and a 1/4 (6
mm) socket key).

1. Turn
Allen
head
retaining
screws
(9)
counterclockwise to loosen one at a time to allow
adjustment of threaded spacers (7).
2. Using an 9/16 (14 mm) open end wrench, the
brass nut on threaded spacers (7) can now be
threaded in or out of magnet. This changes the
relative position of armature and end plate, thus
changing the air gap.
Turn the brass nut to the left (clockwise) to
increase air gap. Turn the brass nut to the right
(counter-clockwise) to decrease the air gap.
NOTE!

Be sure to tighten Allen head retaining


screw (9) before checking air gap. The gap
should be checked on each side of the
brass nut to assure consistency in the
setting.

3. The air gap should be set to 0.008 inch to 0.014


inch (0.20 mm to 0.36 mm) and be within 0.003
inch (0.08 mm) throughout entire circumference.

3. Tire Pressing Procedure


1. Check the inside surface of metal insert on the new
tire. Remove any scaling or rust with sandpaper.
Clean the inside of metal insert and lubricate with a
soap solution.
Outside of Hub
and Tire Assembly
New
Tire
Worn
Tire

Circular
Ram
Press
Table

2. Place a circular ram on press table. The length of


ram must be longer than the width of old tire to
allow complete removal of old tire. The outside
diameter of ram must be small enough to fit loosely
in the insert of tire, but large enough to rest
squarely on the flat surface on the outer edge of
hub.
3. If the outside edge of hub is not flush with the edge
of the metal insert in old tire, measure how far hub
is recessed inside tire. The new tire must be placed
in the same position old tire was installed on hub. A
spacer (slightly smaller in diameter than the inside
diameter of tire insert and the same thickness as
the depth of the recess) can be used to obtain
proper amount of recession.
4. Position hub assembly with the old tire on the top
of circular ram so the outside of the wheel is
positioned upward. The outside edge of hub has a
chamfer to help guide new tire onto the wheel. The
chamfered edge must always be the leading edge
when a tire is pressed onto the hub.
5. Center hub assembly on top of the ram and make
sure they mate squarely.
6. Position new tire with its chamfered insert facing
hub. Align new tire and hub so they are concentric.

CAUTION Any misalignment of tire and hub while tire


is being pressed onto hub can cause
damage to hub. For this reason, chamfers
have been provided on the outside edge of
hub and on the end of the inside diameter
of tires metal insert. The chamfers help to
center hub and tire during the pressing
operation and reduce the possibility of
misalignment. To prevent damage, hub
must be installed on circular ram with its
chamfered side up.
NOTE!

If new tire does not press on with a


minimum of 5 tons (5080.235 kg) force,
replace hub.

7. Begin pressing new tire onto hub and old tire off
the hub. Run the press slowly for the first few
inches of travel, because this is the critical stage of
the operation. If tire begins to cock to one side,
stop press and realign the tire. A sharp jar with a
soft-headed mallet will usually realign tire on hub.
8. Release the press. Remove wheel, tire assembly,
and old tire from press table. Inspect wheel and tire
assembly.
9. Install wheel assembly following the procedure for
the specific type of wheel.

threaded end to allow for more engagement
required by a worn brake. At the 50 percent pedal
up position, the caster wheels should stop rotating
due to the brakes making contact with the caster
wheel drums.
8. When the cable can no longer be adjusted for
caster braking, the brake must be adjusted at the
caster wheels.

Electrical Functions
1. General
The braking, steering, and travel control systems on the
reach truck are electrically controlled and monitored. The lift/
lower and auxiliary function systems are electrically controlled
and hydraulically operated. See Electrical Schematics
page 277, page 289, page 301, or page 313 and Hydraulic
Schematics page 442.
The control system of the reach truck consists of the following
components: movable ergonomic control pod; main electronic
card containing steer control; drive motor transistor regulator;
pump motor transistor regulator; steering components; and
brake. An operator instrument panel displaying direction of
travel, drive wheel indicator, actual time, hourmeter/error
code, parking brake indicator, right foot switch indicator, and
parameter set mode. For a listing of error codes see pages
page 393 and page 394. For a listing of parameters see
page 401. For information on the fuses and their location see
page 347.

The directional/speed control lever is the operators input


interface to the truck. There are five basic control functions
available on the control pod which allows the operator to
perform work with the truck. These functions include: travel;
lift/lower; reach/retract; tilt; and sideshift, which can be further
broken down for more specialized control.

After each initial startup, a travel direction must be selected.


The default travel direction is always forks first. Moving the
direction control lever (R1) to the left will select the default
travel direction. Moving the directional control lever to the left
again will select the next travel direction. Moving the direction
control lever (R1) to the right will increase the travel speed.

hydraulic lever (R12) is used for reach extend and retract.


Pushing forward on the lever causes the reach to extend.
Pulling rearward on the lever causes the reach to retract. The
third hydraulic lever (R13) is used for tilt. Pulling rearward on
the lever causes the forks to tilt up. Pushing forward on the
lever causes the fork to tilt down. The fourth hydraulic lever
(R14) is used for side shift. Pulling rearward on the lever
causes the carriage to side shift right. Pushing forward on the
lever causes the forks to side shift left. A horn push button is
also located on the control lever.

1.2. Main Electronic Card


NOTE!

A5

To determine the software version on the


truck, turn the key switch ON. Software
version is shown on the dash display at the
initial power up.

The
main
electronic
card
(A5)
contains
three
microprocessors. One microprocessor operates as a master
and the other two as slaves. The three microprocessors
share various digital and analog input functions. The
microprocessors monitor the state of switches, sensors,
control pod functions, system functions, and other input
devices. The master microprocessor makes decisions based
on the information received from its inputs and the two slave
processors. The results of the decisions are communicated to
the slaves. All three microprocessors share in control of
digital and analog outputs. Output devices controlled include:
solenoids; contactors; motor controllers; steer motor; brake;
and optional equipment.
The main electronic card (A5) performs diagnostic tests at
start-up and during truck operation. The diagnostic tests
assist in repair by identifying problems and minimizing truck
downtime. For any identified problems, the operator is alerted
by a visible tool bar icon and error code numbers displaying
on the operator display. An audible alarm is sounded when
an error is detected. A history log records error codes by date
and time.
The main electronic card (A5) contains a clock/calendar chip
with an internal battery. The combination of a chip and battery
allows clock and date settings to remain in memory when the
trucks battery is disconnected.

The main electronic card is connected to the trucks circuitry


by nine connectors. To remove the connectors one through
eight, depress the connectors latch and unplug the
connector. To install the connectors, push the connectors
together until the latch snaps into position. To remove
connector nine, grasp the connector (do not grasp the wires)
and, with a slight rotational wiggling action, unplug the
connector. To install, push the connector onto the pins
making sure all of the pins are captured by the connector.
The nine connectors are grouped functionally from the top
down: digital inputs (2); communications (2); analog inputs
(1); analog outputs (1); digital outputs (2); and power output
(1). The main electronic cards top eight connectors and light
emitting diodes (LED) are clearly identified by numbers.
When the main electronic card is connected correctly to the
trucks battery, the digital input LEDs light green indicating
that the input is on and battery voltage is present at the input
pin. The digital output LEDs light red when the output is on
and battery voltage is present at output pin. The
communications and analog voltage inputs and outputs do
not have LEDs. The ninth connector is power for the steer
motor. Six green LEDs near connector 9 indicate the main
electrical card status. For the truck to be operational, all six
LEDs must be ON.
The main electronic card is located on the right side of the
electrical compartment and enclosed in a protective casing.
Replacement of the main electronic card should be as an
entire unit (card and enclosure).

Start Up E- Stop Released/Key ON


By closing the emergency disconnect switch (S21) and key
switch (S17), electricity flows through wire #22 to the main
electronic card (A5) input 809 and the normally closed brake
switch (S48), and main electronic card (A5) input 111. With
power at input 809, the main electronic card (A5) performs a
start-up diagnostic test and, if successful, applies power to
the cards outputs. Electricity also flows through wire #22 to
the drive transistor regulator (A1) connector pin 1 and to the
pump transistor regulator (A2) connector pin 1. The drive
transistor regulator (A1) performs an internal safety test. If the
test is successful, output at connector pin 7 wire #34 goes to
the battery voltage. Wire #34 supplies an input to terminal
101 of the main electronic card (A5). Wire #34 carries
electricity to the second section of the emergency disconnect
(S21) switch and connects to wire #44 connected to the coil
of the main contactor (K10). K10 energizes and applies
battery voltage to the drive transistor regulator B+ terminal
through fuse (F1) and the pump transistor regulator B+
terminal through fuse (F3). The main electronic card (A5)
monitors the state of wire #34 through input 101. If all tests
are successful, the truck is now powered and ready to begin
operation.

3. Steering Components
3.1. Steering System
The steering system is electrically controlled. The input is a
tachometer (DC generator (U1) connected to the steering
wheel. The faster the steering wheel is turned, the higher the
voltage is produced by the tachometer (U1). The direction of
tachometer (U1) rotation determines the polarity of the signal.
The tachometer (U1) is connected to the main electronic card
(A5) by wire #62 to input 503 (-) and by wire #63 to input 502
(+). The master processor on the main electronic card (A5)
processes the tachometer signal and communicates the
result to the steer slave processor. The steer slave processor
controls the steer chopper to obtain the appropriate output
voltage and polarity to drive the steer motor (M6). The steer
motor is connected to the main electronic card (A5) through
wire #60 output 903 (+) and wire #61 output 904 (-). Current
through the main electronic card (A5) connector pins 903 (+)
and 904 (-) determines the steer motor direction. Electrical
power for the steer motor is supplied through wire #1 to fuse
(F51) and through wire #25 to the main electronic card (A5) at
connector pin 901. The negative is wire #40 connected to the
main electronic card (A5) connector pin 902.
The main electronic card (A5) monitors the steer system. If a
fault is sensed in the steer tachometer, steer controller, steer
motor, or wiring, an error code will appear on the Operator
Display (A6) indicating the steering problem.
Three parameters can be modified to adjust the steering for
custom control. Parameter 1 adjusts speed sensitive steering
(reduced steering sensitivity at high speed). Parameter 2
adjusts steering sensitivity (tachometer response). Parameter
11 adjusts steer direction (backward or forward).
Turning the steering wheel clockwise directs B- current to the
steer motor through a series of steps:
The steer tachometer determines the rate and direction of
steer wheel rotations.
Turning the steer tachometer clockwise sends 0 to +2.9
volts (depending upon the rate of rotation of the steering
wheel) to the main electronic card (A5) at input 502 with
respect to connector pin 503.

Turning the steering wheel counter-clockwise directs B+
current to the steer motor through a series of steps:
The steer tachometer determines the rate and direction of

3.2. Wheel Direction Sensors


This diagram covers the channel A steering angle proximity
sensor (S66), channel B steering angle proximity sensor
(S67), fuse (F53), steering wheel position sensor (S65), and
main electronic card (A5). The steer wheel position proximity
sensor and the steer angle proximity sensors work in
conjunction to determine drive wheel position information and
direction of travel. The three sensors, steer wheel position
(S65), steering angle A (S66), and steering angle B (S67),
monitor the drive wheel steering position and relay the ON or
OFF state to the main electronic card (A5). S66 connector is
grey in color. S67 connector is blue in color.
The 12-Volt power supply is covered on page 254. It provides
power to the steering angle A sensor (S66) and steering
angle B sensor (S67). The Steer wheel position sensor (S65)
requires battery voltage to operate. S65 is connected to the
main electronic card input 202 (wire #57). S66 is connected
to the main electronic card input 204 (wire #58). S67 is
connected to the main electronic card input 203 (wire #59).

4. Brake Release
Brake release occurs when the brake pedal is fully
depressed. The emergency switch (S21) ON, key switch
(S17) ON and the brake pedal fully depressed (down) causes
the brake switch (S48) to open removing the input to the main
electronic card (A5) terminal 111 (wire #43). The brake
potentiometer (R3) output goes to a lower voltage than when
the brake pedal is released (up). The main electronic card
(A5) senses the decrease in voltage at terminal 511 (wire
#65). The main electronic card (A5) responds by turning on
output 805 (wire #64) sending current to the magnetic brake
coil (Y1), lighting the main electronic card (A5) 805 LED. The
energizing of the brake coil (Y1) causes the brake pressure
plate to move from the brake friction plate, releasing the
brake and allowing the truck to travel.

CAUTION Releasing parking brake and accidentally


moving direction/speed joystick to the right
causes unexpected truck travel.
After each initial start up, a travel direction must be selected,
by moving the direction control lever (R1) to the left. The
default travel direction is always forks first. Moving the
direction control lever (R1) to the left approximately 0.1875
inch (4.7625 mm) will select the next travel direction. Moving
the direction control lever (R1) to the left will decrease voltage
from 3.65 volts to approximately 3 volts.

6. Travel Request, Forks First


After moving the lever to the left to select direction, forks first
travel occurs when the brake pedal is depressed and the
control lever is moved to the right. With the emergency switch
(S21) ON, key switch (S17) ON, and the brake pedal
depressed, moving the directional/speed control lever to the
right causes the travel potentiometer (R1) to output a voltage
higher than when in the neutral position. The travel
potentiometer (R1) sends the travel request signal to the
main electronic card (A5) input 505. The main electronic card
(A5) responds by turning on output 803 (wire #51) and sends
current to the fork direction contactor (K11), closing the
normally open (NO) contact tips and opening the normally
closed (NC) contact tips. The (forks trailing) direction
contactor (K13) remains in the de-energized state. The
electrical path created by the contact position of K11 and K13
allows current to flow from the battery to the motor terminal
(A2), through the motor brushes and armature to motor
terminal (A1), through K11 (NO), the motor field, K13 (NC) to
drive transistor (A1) regulator terminal M- in a direction to
cause the drive motor to rotate counter-clockwise and move
the truck in the forks first direction.
NOTE!

When the drive wheel hub bolts are turned


out in the forward position K11 pulls in.
When the transmission bolts are turned out
in the forward direction K13 pulls in.

A battery voltage potential is provided to the drive transistor


(A1) regulator terminal A. The main electronic card (A5) turns
on speed request output 610 (wire #36) to a level proportional
to the control lever travel request. This signal is sent to the
drive transistor (A1) regulator input pin 10. A current limit
signal proportional to the control lever travel request is sent
from the main electronic card (A5) output 611 (wire #37) to
the A1 drive transistor regulator input pin 11 limiting the
current from the transistor regulator to the motor. Both speed
request and current limit signals range from 0 volts to
approximately 5.0 volts and are measured with respect to the
main electronic card (A5) output 609 (wire #35) to drive
transistor (A1) regulator input pin 6 (wire #35). The drive
transistor (A1) regulator sends the amplified signal to the
drive motor commanding travel. The main electronic card

(A5) monitors the drive motor temperature limit. A drive


temperature switch (S60), located on the motor and
connected to main electronic card (A5) input 104 (wire #39),
opens if the motor frame exceeds 257 F (125 C). The main
electronic card (A5) reduces the drive speed request and the
drive transistor regulator responds by reducing the
commanded motor speed.
Travel speed is proportional to directional/speed lever
movement. A reduction in maximum travel occurs for the
following conditions:
1. A drive motor over temperature condition (S60).
2. A steer controller over temperature (internal to the main
electronic card (A5).
3. The mast is extended above free lift height (S31). (See
page 257 and page 259.)
4. Mast switches (S31 and S45) sequence error. (See
page 257 and page 259.)
The main electronic card (A5) will request less speed from
the drive transistor regulator if any of these conditions occur
by reducing the speed request signal. Error codes will be
displayed for condition numbers 1 and 2. When the truck is
traveling and the right foot pedal is not depressed, the
warning triangle on the operator display will flash signaling
the operator to depress the right foot pedal switch (S108).
The relationship between the drive transistor (A1) regulator
speed request voltage and travel potentiometer (R1) is an
approximate relationship and include the following:
The travel speed request voltage range is 0 to 5 volts. The
travel potentiometer (RI) voltage is approximately 0.6 to
7.35 volts with the center at approximately 3.65 volts.
Moving the control lever to the right causes voltage to
increase from 3.65 to 7.35 volts. For every 0.5 volt
increase of the travel potentiometer (R1), the speed
request will increase approximately 1 volt.
The speed request voltage is from the main electronic card
(A5) terminal 610 through wire #36 to the drive transistor
(A1) regulator pin 10.

temperature switch (S60), located on the motor and


connected to main electronic card (A5) input 104 (wire #39),
opens if the motor frame exceeds 257 F (125 C). The main
electronic card (A5) reduces the drive speed request and the
drive transistor regulator responds by reducing the
commanded motor speed.
Travel speed is proportional to directional/speed lever
movement. A reduction in maximum travel occurs for the
following conditions:
1. A drive motor over temperature condition (S60).
2. A steer controller over temperature (internal to the main
electronic card (A5).
3. The mast is extended above free lift height (S31). (See
page 258 and page 260.)
4. Mast switches (S31 and S45) sequence error. (See
page 258 and page 260.)
5. The main electronic card (A5) will request less speed from
the drive transistor regulator if any of these conditions
occur by reducing the speed request signal. Error codes
will be displayed for condition numbers 1 and 2. When the
truck is traveling and the right foot pedal is not depressed,
the warning triangle on the operator display will flash signaling the operator to depress the right foot pedal switch
(S108).
The relationship between the drive transistor (A1) regulator
speed request voltage and travel potentiometer (R1) is an
approximate relationship and include the following:
The travel speed request voltage range is 0 to 5 volts. The
travel potentiometer (RI) voltage is approximately 0.6 to
7.35 volts with the center at approximately 3.65 volts.
Moving the direction control lever (R1) to the right causes
voltage to increase from 3.65 to 7.35 volts. For every 0.5
volt increase of the travel potentiometer (R1), the speed
request will increase approximately 1 volt.
The speed request voltage is from the main electronic card
(A5) terminal 610 through wire #36 to the drive transistor
regulator (A1) pin 10.

8. Plug Braking
CAUTION Releasing the brake pedal while on an
incline will cause the truck to move.
There are two methods of plug braking available on the reach
truck. The first method is using the directional/speed control
lever. The second method is accomplished through raising
the brake pedal and is detailed second.

8.1. Directional/Speed Control Lever


Method
Control lever plugging is used to slow or stop the truck. A
momentary movement of the direction control lever (R1) to
the left causes the travel potentiometer to output a voltage to
the main electronic card (A5) requesting travel in the opposite
direction. The directional contactor for the current travel
direction is de-energized and the directional contactor for
traveling in the opposite direction is energized as the control
lever is moved from travel to plugging. The main electronic
card (A5) begins to ramp up speed request output 610 (wire
#36) from zero volts. This signal is sent to the drive transistor
regulator (A1) input pin 10 (wire #36). The drive transistor
regulator (A1) sends the amplified signal to the drive motor
commanding plugging. At approximately 0.5 volts speed
request the drive transistor regulator (A1) recognizes the
drive motor is plugging and the drive switches to plug brake
mode. The drive transistor regulator (A1) output pin 8 (wire
#38) signals the main electronic card (A5) input 103, lighting
LED 103, that the drive motor and drive transistor regulator
(A1) are in plug brake mode.
The main electronic card (A5) responds by setting speed
request output 610 (wire #36) at 2.5 volts locking the
system of the drive motor, the drive transistor regulator (A1)
and the main electronic card (A5) into plug braking. Speed
request output 610 (wire #36) from the main electronic card
(A5) remains at 2.5 volts as long as the drive transistor
regulator (A1) output pin 8 (wire #38) signals the main
electronic card (A5) that the drive transistor regulator (A1)
and the drive motor are in plug brake mode. A current limit
signal proportional to the control lever plug request is sent
from the main electronic card (A5) output 611 (wire #37) to

the drive transistor regulator (A1) input pin 11. The current
limit signal ranges from 0 volts to approximately 4.5 volts and
controls the plugging force.
Plug braking force is regulated with the direction/speed
control lever movement. The greater the movement of the
control lever, the higher the current limit signal voltage and
the greater the plug braking force. Both speed and current
limit signals are measured with respect to the main electronic
card (A5) output 609 (wire #35).

8.2. Brake Pedal Method


The second plug brake method available on the reach truck is
used for slowing the truck. The direction of travel is not
changed when using this method of plug brake. To use the
plug brake method, raise the brake pedal while the truck is
moving. Releasing the brake pedal more than 1.5 to 2 inches
disables travel and applies the parking brake, stopping the
truck in the shortest possible distance. Completely releasing
the brake pedal is the method used for emergency braking.
Direction control lever (R1) must be returned to neutral to
continue travel. Raising the brake pedal while the truck is
moving causes an increase in voltage from the brake
transducer (R3) to the main electronic card (A5) input 511
(wire #65). With the pedal depressed, the voltage at the main
electronic card (A5) input 511 should read approximately 3.0
volts with respect to main electronic (A5) input 510 (wire #30).
The voltage increases toward 4.0 volts as the pedal is raised.
The increase in voltage signals the main electronic card (A5)
to the pedal brake request.
The main electronic card (A5) looks at the drive motor speed
sensor (S64) and drive motor direction sensor (S125) to
determine the current drive motor speed/travel direction. The
drive speed sensor (S64), located on top of the drive motor,
sends pulses to the main electronic card (A5) input 201 (wire
#56). The drive direction sensor (S125), located on top of the
drive motor, sends pulses to the main electronic card (A5)
input 105 (wire #23). Drive motor direction is determined by
using both S64 and S125 and the relationship between the
pulses from each device.
Knowing the drive motor direction, the main electronic card
(A5) de-energizes the directional contactor for the current

travel direction and energizes the directional contactor for


plug braking as the brake pedal is raised. The main electronic
card (A5) begins to ramp up speed request output 610 (wire
#36) from zero volts. This signal is sent to the drive transistor
regulator (A1) input pin 10 (wire #36). The drive transistor
regulator (A1) sends the amplified signal to the drive motor
commanding plugging. At approximately 0.5 volts speed
request the drive transistor regulator (A1) recognizes the
drive motor is plugging and the drive switches to plug brake
mode. The drive transistor regulator (A1) output pin 8 (wire
#38) signals the main electronic card (A5) input 103, lighting
LED 103, that the drive motor and drive transistor regulator
(A1) are in plug brake mode. The main electronic card (A5)
responds by setting speed request output 610 (wire #36) at
2.5 volts locking the system of the drive motor, the drive
transistor regulator (A1) and the main electronic card (A5)
into plug braking.
Speed request output 610 (wire #36) from the main electronic
card (A5) remains at 2.5 volts as long as the drive transistor
regulator (A1) output pin 8 (wire #38) signals the main
electronic card (A5) that the drive transistor regulator (A1)
and the drive motor are in plug brake mode. A current limit
signal proportional to the brake pedal request is also sent
from the main electronic card (A5) output 611 (wire #37) to
the drive transistor regulator (A1) input pin 11.
The current limit signal ranges from 0 volts to approximately
4.5 volts and controls the plugging force. Plug braking force is
regulated with the brake pedal. When the brake pedal is
raised, the current limit signal voltage and plug braking force
are higher. Both speed request and current limit signals are
measured with respect to the main electronic card (A5) output
609 (wire #35). The main electronic card (A5) monitors the
truck speed using the speed sensor (S64). If the truck speed
drops below approximately 0.25 mph (0.40 kph) before the
brake pedal is pushed down, the parking brake is applied and
the truck is stopped.

To return control to the direction control lever (R1) pot, the


brake pedal must be fully depressed again. Fully releasing
the brake pedal at any time will immediately apply the parking
brake. During pedal plugging, the main electronic card (A5)
will only process the signal from the brake pedal pot (R3).
Travel input from the direction control lever (R1) brake is
ignored. If plug braking is request from both the control lever
and the bake pedal simultaneously, the input requesting the
greatest plug braking force controls plugging and the other is
ignored.

11. Limit Switches


11.1. Truck Travel Speed Limiting
The speed limit proximity switch (S31) is located on the mast
tie bar at the bottom of the mast. It senses the presence or
absence of the lower mast tie bar on the inner column. When
the inner columns are elevated, and the load is above freelift,
the absence of the lower mast tie bar is detected. Speed limit
mast switch turns ON supplying voltage to the main electronic
card (A5) input 107 (wire #79). The main electronic card (A5)
limits the speed request to the drive transistor regulator (A1)
limiting truck travel speed proportional to the value
programmed by the Reduce Speed Parameter 4. When the
mast is lowered and the presence of the lower mast tie bar is
detected, the speed limit switch turns OFF removing voltage
to the main electronic card (A5). The speed request to the
drive transistor (A1) regulator is no longer limited and the
truck is allowed to return to full travel speed.

11.2. Mast Staging Speed Limiting


Carriage lift speeds are limited during the transition from free
height to staging. The mast proximity switch (S45) is located
on the carriage. It senses the presences or absence of the
inner column. When the carriage is raised the mast switch
(S45) exits the top of the inner column at the end of free
height, and the absence of the inner column is detected. The
mast switch turns ON supplying voltage to the main electronic
card (A5) input 207 (wire #106). The main electronic card
limits the speed request to the lift transistor regulator (A2)
during the transition. The speed limit proximity switch (S31) is
also used to signal the main electronic card (A5) for staging
speed limiting. The speed limit proximity switch (S31) is
located on the mast tie bar at the bottom of the mast. It
senses the presence or absence of the lower mast tie bar on
the inner column. When the inner column begins to lift the
absence of the lower mast tie bar is detected. The speed limit
switch turns ON supplying voltage to the main electronic card
(A5) input 107 (wire #79). The speed request to the lift
transistor regulator (A2) is no longer limited. The lift is allowed
to return to full lift speed.
Carriage lowering speeds are limited during the transition
from staging to free height. As the inner column lowers the
presence of the lower mast tie bar is detected. The speed
limit switch (S31) turns OFF removing voltage to the main
electronic card (A5) input 107 (wire #79). The main electronic
card limits the signal to the proportional lowering valve (Y10),
limiting lowering speed during the transition. As the carriage
is lowered, the mast switch (S45) enters the top of the inner
column at the beginning of free height, and the presence of
the inner column is detected. The mast switch turns OFF
removing voltage to the main electronic card (A5) input 207
(wire #106). The signal to the proportional lowering valve
(Y10) is no longer limited. The lowering is allowed to full
lowering speed.

12. Height Indicator


The height indicator is designed to display the fork height in
the main lifting zone. The components of the height indicator
system include: height counter (U10); fuse F52, height
display (A8); staging switch (S45); and main electronic card
(A5). The height counter is a two-counter pulse generator
(encoder). The height indicator provides a digital display of
fork height in English or metric units. The staging switch
(S45) signals the beginning and end of freelift. The main
electronic card (A5) processes the information from the
height counter (U10), mast switch (S45), and Fork Reference
Parameter 10. The result of the processed information is a
fork height value to be displayed by the height display.
Communication to the height display from the main electronic
card (A5) is by a two wire proprietary data communication
scheme.
With the battery connected, emergency switch ON and the
key OFF, the height display (A8) will display four vertical half
bars. This is the correct indication showing the height display
not communicating with the main electronic card (A5). When
the key is turned ON, the height display will go to four solid
decimal points. If the decimal points flash, lower the forks
below the reference height, into the freelift zone. Set the
Special Height Parameter 9 to the lift limit height or to the
maximum mast height. If the decimal points continue to flash,
check for a broken communication wire (wire #125 and #126),
a failed staging switch (S45), a failed height display (A8), or a
failed main electronic card (A5). When lifting, the height
display will show solid decimal points until the staging switch
(S45) turns ON, supply voltage to the main electronic card
(A5) input 207 (wire #106). The main electronic card (A5)
responds by communicating the Fork Reference Parameter
10 to the height display from outputs 405 (wire #125) and 402
(wire #126). The height display shows the Fork Reference
Parameter value. When the intermediate columns begin to
lift, the mast cable turns the height counter.
The height counter is powered from the main electronic card
(A5) 12 volt supply, output 810 (wire #67), fuse F53 (wire
#31) and common, output 811 (wire #32). As the counter
turns, the two outputs (A and B) send pulses to the main
electronic card (A5), inputs 205 (wire #98) and input 206 (wire
# 99). The counter signals pulse between +12V and Gnd and

can be monitored with a VOM while lifting slowly. The number


of pulses indicates the distance the mast has moved. The
phase relationship between the pulses indicates the direction
the mast is moving. As the main electronic card (A5)
processes the information from the height counter (U10), the
height display (A8) is continually updated with the new fork
height. As the mast approaches the value of the Special
Height Parameter 9 while lifting, the main electronic card (A5)
reduces and then stops the speed request to the pump
transistor (A2) regulator at the Special Height.
If the truck is equipped with an over-ride push button, the
operator can continue work above Special Height after
pushing the over-ride button. While lowering, the main
electronic card (A5) processes the information from the
height counter. The height display is continually updated with
the new fork height. When the staging switch (S45) enters the
inner column, the main electronic card (A5) stops counting
and resets to the Fork Reference height. The height display
(A8) shows four solid decimal points.

12.1. Height Preset Selector


The height preset selector (A7) works with the same
information supplied to the height indicator (A8) from the main
electronic card (A5), with the exception of height
programmable reference points (fork heights). Once the fork
height stop positions are entered in the height preset selector
(A7), fork heights can be selected at any time. After lifting
forks to the selected fork height, the height preset selector
(A7) allows electricity to flow to main electronic card (A5,
terminal 403 and 404) through wire #127 and #128, disabling
the lift for a brief period of time. When the program has been
executed, the lift/lower resumes normal operation. The height
preset selector (A7) has 99 possible fork height positions.

13. Drive Motor Brush Wear Indicator


Switches
The diagram covers the drive motor brush indicator switches
(SA1) and (SA2). The drive motor on the reach truck contains
a pair of brush wear indicator switches. When the brushes
need replacing, an error code 17 will display on the operator
display. They will not disable the lift of the truck. This is
accomplished by metal bars, connected by wires to a
connector in the motor frame, contacting the brush spring as
the brush wears down. This completes a circuit allowing high
side armature voltage to main electronic card (A5) input 209
(wire #42) and/or low side armature voltage to main electronic
card (A5) input 208 (wire #41) depending on whether the
north or south pole brushes are worn, lighting the main
electronic card (A5) 208 and/or 209 LED. Brushes should be
inspected on a regular basis and replaced when the error
code displays.

14. Pump Motor Brush Indicator


Switch
The pump motor brush indicator switches (SA1) and (SA2)
indicate when the pump motor brushes need replacing by
displaying the error code 16 on the dash display. They will not
disable lift of this truck. Inspect brushes and replace if
necessary. When brushes are worn and require servicing, the
pump motor brush indicator switches (SA1) and (SA2) close
the circuit and allow electricity to the main electronic card (A5,
terminal 210 and/or 211) through wire #77 and #78, lighting
the main electronic card (A5) 210 and/or 211 LED.

15. Safety Check


Diagrams (Safety Check A and B) cover the safety checks on
the drive transistor regulator (A1). Once a year a safety check
of the system must be performed. The safety check is
performed by connecting the battery, turning the emergency
switch ON, turning the key switch ON, and placing a jumper
from the drive transistor regulator B-terminal to connector pin
2. The jumper will cause the line contactor (K10) to open and
the main electronic card (A5) to respond with an error code
E102. Successful completion of check confirms the circuit is
operating.

16. Shunt Power Cable


The shunt power cable measures the total truck current
flowing to the negative side of the battery. This is a special
length and gauge of wire and must be replaced with the
correct parts for proper operation. Polarity of the two shunt
power cable lead wires (#606 + and #607 -) must be
observed when connecting to the main electronic card (A5).
The voltage measured by the main electronic card (A5)
across the shunt is used for battery discharge indication.

3. Battery Maintenance
The following information does not supercede or replace
information supplied by the battery and battery charger
manufacturer. Read, understand, and follow the procedures
in the manual supplied with the battery and battery charger.
Notify your supervisor if there are any concerns or questions
regarding battery safety or procedures.

3.1. Battery Inspection and Care


NOTE!

Read, understand, and follow procedures,


recommendations, and specifications in the
battery and battery charger manufacturers
manuals.

Batteries in industrial trucks pick up various kinds of dirt and


dust depending on their surroundings and the types of
material handled. If cells are overfilled and electrolyte collects
on the covers, the following occurs:
1. The top of the battery becomes wet and stays wet,
since the acid in the electrolyte does not
evaporate.
2. This moist surface, in combination with certain
kinds of dirt, becomes electrically conductive and
permits stray currents to flow externally over the
top of the battery. This degrades battery
performance and truck operation.
3. The acid also causes corrosion of cell posts, nuts,
connectors and the steel battery case.
When inspecting batteries, check the following:
1. Wet covers can indicate overfilling, leaky seals at
posts, or excessive gassing during charge. If
covers are wet, determine the cause and correct
the problem.
2. Make sure batteries cannot move more than 0.5
inch (13 mm) in any horizontal direction. Shim or
block to restrain them.

3.2. Battery Exterior Cleaning


Refer to recommended battery manufacturers guidelines for
details.

3.3. Charging
OSHA regulations require that battery charging installations
be located in areas designated for that specific purpose. Such
areas must provide for flushing and neutralizing spilled
electrolyte, fire protection, protecting charging equipment
from damage by trucks and adequate ventilation of fumes
from gassing batteries.
To charge a battery, direct current is passed through the
battery cells in the direction opposite that of discharge.
Charging time is 5% to 20% longer than discharge time.

Read, understand, and follow procedures, recommendations


and specifications in the battery and battery charger
manufacturers manuals.

CAUTION NEVER plug the battery charger into the


truck. This will severely damage the trucks
electrical system. Plug the charger ONLY
into the connector from the battery.

4. Storage
Before storing battery, make sure the electrolyte is at the
proper level in all the cells, the filler plugs are tight, and the
battery is fully charged. Store battery in a clean, cool, dry
location away from radiators and other sources of heat.
Check electrolyte level and specific gravity every 30 days
during storage. Whenever specific gravity is less than 1.230,
charge the battery.

5. Battery History Record


A battery record system is essential because battery failure
can cause production slowdowns and increased battery
operating costs. A properly supervised record system can
detect and call attention to such operating irregularities as:
Overcharging
Undercharging
Over-discharging
Excessive water consumption
Excessive dirt and corrosion
Worn-out batteries
Excessive current consumption of trucks
Records should be kept for each battery. Your battery
supplier should be able to provide maintenance record
sheets. Each report should contain:
Battery number, type, serial number, and service data
Specific gravity and voltage readings for each cell
Temperature of the air and electrolyte
Electrolyte
Amperes
Condition of connectors, covers, sealing compound
and tray
General cleanliness
Number of total cycles
Average specific gravity drop
Watering frequency
User comments and observations

which is part of the connector.
To remove a cable from the connector, push retainer down
while pulling battery cable towards the rear and out of the
connector.
NOTE!

Battery charger unintentionally connected


to battery connector at truck chassis would
result in premature, unwarrantable, logic
card failure. Installation of spacer block
onto charger connector would prevent a
battery charger to truck connection.

1. Disconnect power supply to battery charger.


2. Attach spacer block to the topside of the battery
connector from the battery charger using two cap
screws and two hex nuts.
NOTE!

Verify spacer block is installed correctly by


attempting to connect the battery charger
connector to truck battery connector. If
properly installed, the spacer block will not
allow the battery charger connector to slide
against truck chassis and will prevent a
connection of battery charger and truck
battery connector.

3. Reconnect supply to battery charger.

Mast Switch (S31)
T-code

395/396/397/398/999

Mast Switch (S31)


Mast Switch1 (S31) is a proximity switch located at the
bottom of the mast. The mast switch (S31) serves two
functions: truck speed limiting and mast staging limiting. In
the truck speed limiting function, the mast switch (S31) is
provided to reduce travel speed to approximately 2.5 MPH
after the first stage of lift. The first stage of lift ends when the
mast inner columns begin to extend from main mast frame. In
the mast staging speed limiting function, the mast switch
signals the main electronic card to limit lift speed during the
staging transition.

1. General
Refer to the electrical schematic to identify the electrical
circuit location of the switch (see applicable electrical
schematic on page 277, page 289, page 301 or page 313).

1.1. Test/Inspection
Examine switch for signs of arcing, overheating,
discoloration, cracking, or other physical damage. Replace
switch if necessary.
To test switch, isolate it from the electrical circuit. Remove all
connections from switch, making sure all wires are labeled
and identified for reconnection.
For trucks with serial numbers before 27272000, use an
ohmmeter set to a low resistance scale to measure
resistance across the switch. In a closed position, the switch
should be less than 1 ohm. In an open position, the switch
should show a resistance greater than 10 megohms.
For trucks with serial numbers after 27272000, the switch
(S31) senses the presence or absence of the lower mast tie
bar on the inner column. When the inner columns are
elevated, and the load is above freelift, the absence of the
lower mast tie bar is detected. Speed limit mast switch (S31)
turns ON supplying voltage to the main electronic card input
107. When the mast is lowered and the presence of the lower
mast tie bar is detected, the speed limit switch turns OFF
removing voltage to the main electronic card. For electrical
operation see page 258 and/or 260.

2. Wiring
2.1. Harness
When working on the truck, use care around the wiring
harnesses.

Do not pull on wires.

Carefully mate and unmate all connectors.

Do not pry apart connectors with unspecified tools.

Examine and maintain any added materials used


to dress or protect wire. This includes spiral wrap,
brackets, cable ties, fasteners, flexible conduit, etc.

Check harness wires for abrasions, scrapes, nicks


in wire, damage from overheating or burns, or
other general insulation damage.

Replace terminations with exposed wire visible at


connectors. Damaged terminations, exposed
wires, or damaged connectors can cause operational failure of truck.

During troubleshooting and repairs, it is sometimes


necessary to unmate a connector, move a harness, cut a
cable tie, or remove wire from a bracket. Note carefully the
location of wire and all protective or securing attachments
before moving harness.
After repair, return or replace all protective and/or securing
hardware to its original condition. Protective materials are
necessary to provide reliable performance of interconnect
system.
There should be a wire marker at each termination. If marker
is missing or unreadable, remark wire to allow easier
identification.
NOTE!

1.2. Contactor Tip Inspection

Severe Pitting

BT Prime-Mover, Inc.

Return

Use the following guidelines when inspecting contactor tips:


Disconnect battery before inspecting or servicing
contactor tips.
Darkened points do not indicate burning.
Burning indicates a loss of contact point material.
Replace contact points if there is not enough
contact point material to last until the next regular
inspection.
The silver alloy part of the point is usable contact
material; the copper backing is not.
Do not file contact points to remove discoloration or
minor irregularities. This practice produces a
surface more susceptible to sticking.
If a cone and/or crater appear, replace contactor
tips.

1. General
To identify the electrical schematic for circuit location of
switches, see applicable electrical schematic page 277,
page 289, page 301 or page 313. Examine switch for signs of
arcing, overheating, discoloration, cracking, or other physical
damage. Replace switch if necessary.
To test switch, isolate it from the electrical circuit. Remove all
connections from the switch, making sure all wires are
labeled and identified for reconnection. Use an ohmmeter set
to a low resistance scale to measure resistance across the
switch. In a closed position, the switch should be less than 1
ohm. In an open position, the switch should show a
resistance greater than 10 megohms. With the battery
plugged in and the key switch in the ON position, equal
voltage should be present on both terminals of the switch.

Main Electronic Card


1. Connectivity to Truck
NOTE!

To determine the software version on the


truck, turn the key switch ON. Software
version is shown on the dash display at the
initial power up.

The main electronic card is connected to the trucks circuitry


by nine connectors. To remove the connectors one through
eight, depress the connectors latch and unplug the
connector. To install the connectors, push the connectors
together until the latch snaps into position. To remove
connector nine, grasp the connector (do not grasp the wires)
and, with a slight rotational wiggling action, unplug the
connector. To install, push the connector onto the pins
making sure all of the pins are captured by the connector.
The nine connectors are grouped functionally from the top
down: digital inputs (2); communications (2); analog inputs
(1); analog outputs (1); digital outputs (2); and power output
(1). The main electronic cards top eight connectors and light
emitting diodes (LED) are clearly identified by numbers.
When the main electronic card is connected correctly to the
trucks battery, the digital input LEDs light green indicating
that the input is on and battery voltage is present at the input
pin. The digital output LEDs light red when the output is on
and battery voltage is present at output pin. The
communications and analog voltage inputs and outputs do
not have LEDs. The ninth connector is power for the steer
motor. Six green LEDs near connector 9 indicate the main
electrical card status. For the truck to be operational, all six
LEDs must be ON.
The main electronic card is located on the right side of the
electrical compartment and enclosed in a protective casing.
Replacement of the main electronic card should be as an
entire unit (card and enclosure).

5. The display should read 10 with the brake pedal all
the way up.
6. Press brake pedal all the way down and the display
should read 247.
7. To adjust with the pedal all the way down loosen
the bolts on the brake transducer and adjust until
247 appears on the display.
8. The brake switch should be adjusted so it actuates
between 45 and 52 on the display when
depressing the pedal. (The LED on input 111 on
the A5 card will flash on and off as the brake switch
actuates.)
9. After making adjustments, go back into the
programming mode.

Set parameter 12 at 2 or current setting.

Set parameter 15 at 50 (P5-04 and P5-05);


16 at 50 (P5-06 and P5-07)

10. Reinstall floor plate and cover.

11. Battery Discharge Indicator


Parameter Adjustment
Parameter 13 is the battery type that will allow the
programmer a variety of options relating to the battery
discharge indicator (BDI) display reading. This parameter
may be programmed to manipulate the BDI display so the
battery voltage reading at 80% discharge will reflect a voltage
reading other than 1.75 volts per cell under load (see
Parameter 13 Initial Value on page 386). The parameter 13
has a value setting between 1 and 30. A setting of 1 will result
in the most shallow discharge. A setting of 29 will result in the
deepest discharge. A setting of 30 will force the BDI to reset
to full charge, this is not a permanent setting.
Parameter 13 should be adjusted so the 10 bar BDI display
will reflect the battery discharge as the BDI display
decrements down from the fully charge level, to the 80%

discharged level (see page 387 or page 388.) A full charge


level on the BDI display should have an open battery voltage
of approximately 2.1 volts per cell. The 80% discharged level
on the BDI display should reflect the preferred battery
discharge level.
Full charged battery BDI full scale reset voltage:
- 24 volt truck is 25 volts
- 36 volt truck is 37.5 volts
Full discharged battery voltage:
- 24 volt truck is 21.0 volts
- 36 volt truck is 31.5 volts
The minimum shunt current necessary to activate the BDI is
approximately 150 Amps. Fully discharged battery BDI
response time is approximately 2 operating hours from full
battery indication with parameter 13 set to value 20 at
minimum shunt current. Response time decreases with
smaller parameter 13 values and larger shunt currents.
Response time will increase with larger parameter 13 values.
Parameter 13 values listed below represent a starting guide
only. The final value depends on the application, battery
condition, battery capacity, etc. Final values are valid only for
different batteries of equal performance characteristics and
equal applications. Typical RRX35 and RSX40 applications
are for light duty and RRX45, RDX30 and RSX50 are
medium duty.
To initially set parameter 13, select the operating duty of the
truck. Select the desired discharged battery voltage under
load. Program parameter 13 with the value from the table.
The parameter 13 table represents the discharge voltage the
BDI will measure the under load.

Due to the variety of different batteries available, parameter


13 should be set to the specific battery that will be used to
insure an accurate BDI reading. To verify the BDI display
reflects the preferred battery discharge the following
procedures should be followed:
1. Install a fully charged battery into the truck.
2. Take an open voltage reading across the battery
terminals. A full charged 24 volt battery should
have an approximate open voltage of 25.20 volts.
A full charged 36 volt battery should have an
approximate open voltage of 37.80 volts.
3. Power up truck and verify the 10 bar indicator is lit
to the top bar (green). This indicates a fully
charged battery.
4. Put the truck into service for an 8 hour shift.
NOTE!

Do not charge the battery at anytime during


the shift until adjustment of parameter 13 is
complete.

5. If the voltage reading matches the corresponding


bar level, battery parameter 13 needs no further
adjustment. If further adjustment is needed go to
step 7.
6. If open circuit voltage of battery is lower than
corresponding BDI bar level from the table,
parameter 13 should be decreased. If open voltage
of battery is higher than corresponding BDI bar
level from table parameter 13 should be increased.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 7.

12. A5 Jumper Harness Kit Installation

(Serial numbers 28126000 - below)

The purpose of the jumper harness is to supply power from


wire number 22 to wire number 39 at A5 input 104. The kit
contains a jumper harness and an assortment of 0.25 inch
(6.35 mm) quick connectors. The previous A5 logic box can
be reinstalled by removing the jumper harness and
reconnecting cut wires using the quick connectors. To
determine if the truck has the jumper harness installed, turn
the key switch to OFF, then ON. If the dash display shows
88:88, the truck has the jumper harness installed. Use the
following procedures to install jumper harness. For location of
wires and connectors see Jumper Harness Drawing on
page 391:
1. Turn key switch OFF and disconnect battery
connector from the truck.
2. Remove main

14.1. E102 Troubleshooting Procedures


Remove dash cover to expose drive chopper (A1). The drive
chopper (A1) will have 4 LED indicators to assist in
determining faults. (See applicable electrical schematic
page 277, page 289, page 301 or page 313.) The LEDs are
as follows:
1

Green

Drive chopper detects no faults.

Yellow

Drive chopper upper/lower temperature. (Will not


display an error code)

Red

Fault in power circuits (See Power Circuit Checks)

Red

Fault in reference value circuit (See Reference


Value Circuit Checks)

If truck is cold storage verify that all thermostats and heaters


are working. Moisture contamination at drive chopper (A1),
pump chopper (A2) or logic card (A5) may cause this error.
Verify that wire #16 and #17 wires have not been placed on
the normally opened side of main contactor (K10), drive
chopper (A1), internal capacitors will not be allowed to charge
correctly and will cause this error code.
The battery voltage must be at least 25.2 volts for a 24 volt
system. If the battery voltage is below 22 volts (no load), the
controller may not operate properly. The battery voltage must
be at least 37.8 volts for a 36 volt system. If the battery
voltage is below 33 volts (no load), the controller may not
operate properly.
14.1.1. Power Circuit Checks
NOTE!

Do not manually close the main contactor


(K10) when battery is plugged into truck.

If main contactor (K10) does not close when the truck is


powered up, the following checks should be performed:
1. Check 250 amp drive fuse. A blown fuse will cause
this error when the truck is powered up. A partially
severed fuse will not cause this error until the
operator attempts to accelerate. Both symptoms

3. Check for loose or open connections at main
contact (K10) coil wire #44 or #40.
4. Check for loose or open connections at emergency
stop (S21).
5. Check voltage at control plug on drive chopper
(A1) at pin #1, wire #22 with respect to battery
negative. This input should be battery voltage
when the truck is powered up. If 0 volts (there will
be no LED indicator lit at drive chopper (A1), check
for open wire from key switch to drive chopper
(A1).
6. Check voltage at control plug on drive chopper
(A1) at pin #7, wire #34 with respect to battery
negative. This output should be battery voltage
when drive chopper (A1) detects no faults.
7. Check voltage at pin #101, wire #34, at the logic
card (A5) with respect to battery negative. This
input voltage from drive chopper (A1) should be
battery voltage when drive chopper (A1) detects no
faults. If 0 volts, check for open line on wire #34
between drive chopper (A1) and logic card (A5).
8. Check voltage at wire #34 at the emergency stop
(S21) with respect to battery negative. This should
be battery voltage when drive chopper (A1) detects
no faults. If 0 volts, check for open line on wire #34
between drive chopper and emergency stop (S21).
9. Check voltage on wire #44 at emergency stop
(S21). This should be battery voltage when the
truck is powered up. If 0 volts, check for loose or
missing connection on wire #44 at emergency stop
(S21), check for open line on wire #44 between
emergency stop (S21) and the connections at the
main contactor (K10). Check for defective
emergency switch (S21).

If main contactor (K10) closes when the truck is powered up


the following checks should be performed:
1. Check for battery voltage through main contactor
K10) with respect to battery negative when
contactor is closed.
2. Check for pitted or burned contactor tips.
3. Check for dirt or dust contamination at contactor
tips.
4. Check 250 amp drive fuse. A partially severed fuse
will not cause this error until the operator attempts
to accelerate. A blown fuse will cause this error
when the truck is powered up. Both symptoms are
typically caused from the operator pushing loads.
5. Check for loose or shorted power cable
connections at 250 amp drive power fuse, main
contactor (K10), drive chopper (A1) and pump
chopper (A2) may cause this error. If a pump
chopper (A2) or related power cable is suspected
to be shorted or defective, it may be disconnected
from the system to verify that it is causing the error.
NOTE!

Care must be taken to keep power cables


that are removed from shorting. All cable
ends should be wrapped with electrical
tape.

14.1.2. Reference Circuit Value Checks (LED #4)


1. Check voltage at control plug on drive chopper
(A1), pin #10, wire #36 with respect to pin #6, wire
#35. Voltage should be 0.15 volts when the
accelerator is in the static position. When the
accelerator is at full throttle, voltage should be
approximately 4.93 volts.
2. Check voltage at control plug on drive chopper
(A1), pin #11, and wire #37 with respect to pin #6,
wire #35. Voltage should be 0.75 volts when the
accelerator is in the static position. When the
accelerator is at full throttle, voltage should be
approximately 4.3 volts.

1. General
To identify the electrical circuit location of switches see
applicable electrical schematics page 277, page 289,
page 301 or page 313.

1.1. Test/Inspection
Examine switch for signs of arcing, overheating,
discoloration, cracking, or other physical damage. Replace
switch if you see such damage.
-

+
1
1/2

To test a switch, isolate it from the electrical circuit. Remove


all connections from switch, making sure all wires are labeled
and identified for reconnection.
Use an ohmmeter set to a low resistance scale to measure
resistance across switch. In a closed position, switch should
be less than 1 ohm. In an open position, switch should show
a resistance greater than 10 megohms.
With the battery plugged in and the key switch in the ON
position, equal voltage should be present on both terminals of
the switch.

2. Platform (Right Foot) Switch (S108)


The platform (right foot) switch (S108) is located under the
floor board of the operator compartment. Activation of the
platform switch allows lift and auxiliary functions to operate
without depression of the brake pedal.

Brake
Pedal

While selecting a hydraulic function, if either brake pedal (left


foot) or platform (right foot) switch is not successfully
engaged a red triangle (H) (reminder light) will be displayed
on the instrument panel The indicator also lights if the truck is
driven without the platform (right foot) switches engaged.

3. Staging Switch (S45)


The staging switch (S45) is a proximity sensor located on the
outside of the carriage. Its function is to let the main electronic
card know when the carriage has almost completed the first
stage of lift (freelift). When the sensor extends beyond the
limits of the inner columns, the main electronic card receives
a signal. This triggers a slowing of the lift and allows a
smoother transition as the columns begin to move, preventing
the load on forks from being jarred.

1.1. Supply
A voltage from lift (R11), reach (R12), sideshift (R14), or tilt
(R13) on the control pod to the main electronic card (A5)
initiates a pump request to the pump transistor regulator (A2).
The electronic card (A5) turns on speed request output 702
(wire #75) to a level proportional to the control handle
request. This signal is sent to the pump transistor regulator
(A2) input pin 10. A current limit signal is also sent from the
main electronic card (A5) output 703 (wire #76) to the pump
transistor regulator (A2) input pin 11 limiting the current from
the pump transistor regulator (A2) to the motor. Both speed
request and current limit signals range from 0 volts to
approximately 4.5 volts and are measured with respect to
main electronic card (A5) output 701 (wire #74). The pump
transistor regulator sends the amplified signal to the pump
motor (M3) commanding pumping.
Hydraulic functions can be performed by using the brake
pedal, the right foot pedal, or both. By depressing the right
foot pedal and releasing the brake pedal setting the parking
brake, hydraulic functions can be performed with the truck
parked in position.
Oil is pumped by the pump from the hydraulic tank into the
hydraulic system. The pump is used for both the lift and
auxiliary functions. Appropriate solenoids are activated,
opening valves and the hydraulic functions are performed. If
the pressure in the system increases to the preset value of
the relief valve, it will open directing oil back to the hydraulic
tank. The lowering function is powered by gravity and
proportionally controlled. Returned oil is filtered at the
hydraulic tank.

1.2. Lifting
With the key switch ON and brake pedal and/or right foot
switch depressed, by pulling potentiometer (R11) back
causes output voltage to be different than when in the neutral
position. The main electronic card (A5) senses this change in
voltage at input 506 (wire #82). The main electronic card (A5)
responds by enabling voltage to the lift valve coil (Y10-2)
output 704 (wire 89). The lift speed can be infinitely varied to
the maximum lift speed.
Oil is fed from the pump to the lift valve (Y10) and from the
valve to the free lift and main lift cylinders. The free lift
cylinder, having less weight on it, will lift first. After the free lift
cylinder has reached full extension, the main lift cylinders will
begin to lift. If the pressure in the system increases to the
relief valves preset value, oil flows back to the hydraulic tank.

1.3. Lowering
With the key switch ON and brake pedal and/or right foot

position. The main electronic card (A5) senses this change in
voltage at input 506 (wire #82). The main electronic (A5) card
enables voltage to the proportional lower solenoid coil (Y103) from output 804 (wire 88). The lowering speed is regulated
by the proportional lowering valve (Y10-3) in direct proportion
to the voltage from (R11). Proportional lower solenoid coil
(Y10-3) is normally closed. Oil flows from the cylinders
through the valve, returning to the hydraulic tank. A reach, tilt,
or sideshift function can be performed while lowering.

1.11. Side Shifting Left


Sideshift allows the operator to move the fork carriage to the
right or left in relation to the mast. The amount of sideshift is 2
or 4 inches (50 or 100 mm) depending on the baseleg
opening (BLO).
With the key switch ON and the brake pedal and/or right foot
pedal depressed, by pushing potentiometer (R12) causes
voltage to be different at main electronic (A5) card input 509
(wire #85). The main electronic (A5) card responds by:
Enabling voltage to the direction A solenoid coil (Y12) from
output 705 (wire #90).
Enabling the sideshift solenoid (Y16) on the reach carriage
from output 709 (wire #95).
Sending a speed request to the pump transistor regulator.
The side shift speed can be infinitely varied to the
maximum side shift speed.
The speed request signal to the pump transistor regulator
provides the PWM frequency rate to pulse the pump motor.
Oil is fed through direction A (Y12) valve, to the sideshift
(Y16) valve, to the front port of the sideshift cylinder, driving
the piston inward. The oil flows from the rear port of the
cylinder, to the sideshift (Y16) valve, to the direction A (Y12)
valve, and returns to the hydraulic tank.

1. Hydraulic Fluid Selection
Before adding or changing hydraulic fluid, determine the
environment and usage of truck. To make proper oil/lubricant
selection see page 84.

2. Changing Hydraulic System Fluid


1. Be sure truck is in a clean area, away from any
possible contaminating elements that could enter
the hydraulic system during the changing process.
Check that carriage is fully lowered, reach
retracted, and tilt is full down.
2. Drain hydraulic reservoir completely (see
page 448). Drain as much oil as possible from
hydraulic lines and cylinders.
3. Fill hydraulic reservoir with proper fluid.
4. With lift system running, operate lift/lower and
auxiliary functions for approximately 2 minutes to
purge the system.
5. Check for possible hydraulic leaks.
6. Bleed entire hydraulic system before placing truck
into service (see page 450).
7. Check reservoir oil level.
The remainder of the original hydraulic fluid left in the system,
(approximately 5%), should not be harmful to the operation of
truck.

3. Lift Chain
Lift chains are very important components of the truck. The
chain system on the mast was designed for efficient, reliable
transmission of lifting force from the hydraulic cylinder to the
forks. Safe, uninterrupted use of the truck depends on proper
care and maintenance of lift chains.
After 100 hours of truck operation, lift chains should be
inspected and lubricated. When operating in unfamiliar
corrosive environment, inspect chains every 50 hours.

3.1. Lift Chain Adjustment


1. Loosen locking nuts on chain anchors.
2. Tighten adjusting nuts until both chains are free of
twist and of equal tension. Lift chain tension is
correct if lift chains can be forced sideways
approximately 0.5 to 1 inch (12.7 to 25.4 mm)
before lift frame raises slightly.
3. Retighten locking nut on chain anchors.

3.2. Lift Chain Maintenance


Unsatisfactory chain performance can be traced directly to
inadequate maintenance. Highly stressed precision chains
require periodic maintenance to deliver maximum service life.

3.3. Lift Chain Inspection


After every 100 hours of truck operation, lift chains should be
inspected and lubricated. Inspect chains every 50 hours
when operating in unfamiliar corrosive environment. When
performing inspection, observe the following chain conditions:
chain wear; rust and corrosion; cracked plates; protruding or
turned pins; and chain side wear.

3.3.1. Wear
As the chain flexes on and off the sheaves, the joints
gradually wear. The stretch a chain develops in service is
due to material being worn off the pin on the outside diameter
and the pitch hole inside diameter on the inside plates.

Chain
Wear
Scale

Chain wear can be measured by using a wear scale or a steel


tape. Discard chains when elognated 3%. (For example, one
foot of chain contains 16 pitches (links). When 16 pitches
measures 12.375 inches (314 mm), replace chains.) When
checking chain wear, measure a segment of chain that
operates over a sheave.
NOTE!

New Chain

C-code

Do not repair chains by cutting out the worn


section and splicing in a new piece.

Stretched 3.3.2. Rust and Corrosion


Lift chains are highly stressed precision components. It is
Chain
very important that maintenance is performed throughout the
chain service life. Corrosion will cause a major reduction in
the load-carrying capacity of the lift chain or roller chain
because corrosion causes sideplate cracking. It is extremely
important to protect the lift chain from corrosion, whether in
service or in storage.
NOTE!

Do not steam clean or degrease new lift


chains.

Lift chain lubricant serves both as a joint lubricant and


corrosion inhibitor. During inspection, carefully examine the
external lift chain surfaces for the presence of an oily film.
Under normal operating conditions, oil lift chains every 100
hours and more frequent under adverse conditions.
NOTE!
Stress-corrosion Cracking

In all cases, the external surface of the lift


chains must be protected with a film of oil.

Outside plates are susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking. If


lift chains are heavily rusted or corroded, remove them from
the mast to thoroughly inspect for cracked plates. Replace all
lift chains on the truck if the plates are cracked. Lubricate the
chains when reinstalled on the truck.

3.3.3. Cracked Plates


Fatigue failure is the most common cause of plate cracking.
After many repeated heavy loads, the plates may crack
causing the chains to eventually break (loads higher than the
trucks capacity). Fatigue cracks are almost always found
through the pitch holes perpendicular to the pitch line. If
cracks are present, replace all lift chains on truck.

Ultimate Strength Failure


This type of failure is caused by overload in excess of the
truck design load.

Broken Plate Caused by Overload


All joints in roller chain or lift chain should flex freely. Tight
joints resist flexure, increase internal friction, increasing chain
tension required to lift a given load. Increased tension
accelerates wear and fatigue problems.
In roller chain, tight joints are usually caused by rust or inside
plates moving outward on bushings. Replace chains if rusty.

Tight joints prevent proper flexing of roller chain

Bent or peened plates on lift chains can


cause tight joints and prevent flexing.
Tap bushing plates inward to remedy a plate walking
problem. If plate walking persists, replace lift chain. This
type of link plate displacement is accelerated by poor
lubrication. The majority of roller chains with tight joints have
been run with little or no lube.
Tight joints in lift chains can be caused by the following:

Bent pins or plates

Rusty joints

Peened plate edges

Oily rusty chains with bent or peened components

Peening of plates edges may be caused by worn sheaves,


unusually heavy loads or chain sliding past a guide in the
mast.

3.3.4. Protruding or Turned Pins


Heavily loaded chains operating with little lube cause wear
between the pin and plates (pin and bushing in roller chain).
In some extreme cases, the torque in the joint can turn pins in
the press-fit outside plate.
If the chain is allowed to operate in this condition, the pins
slowly work out of the chain, causing chain failure. Turned
pins can be quickly spotted because the flats on the V head
are no longer in line.
NOTE!

Pins have turned 90o. Chains with turned or


protruding pins should be replaced. Do not
attempt to repair the chain by driving the
pins back into the chain.

3.3.5. Chain Side Wear


A wear pattern on pin heads and outside plates indicates
misalignment. This condition damages chain and sheaves as
well as increasing internal wear in the chain system.
3.3.6. Chain Anchors and Sheaves
An inspection of the chain system includes a close look at the
chain anchors and sheaves. Check chain anchors for wear,
breakage, and misalignment. Anchors with worn or broken
fingers should be replaced. Anchors should be adjusted to
eliminate twisting or other misalignment in the chain. When
chain is misaligned, load is not spread uniformly between the
plates. Prolonged operation will result in premature failure.
Sheaves with badly worn flanges and outside diameter
should be replaced. Heavy flange wear indicates chain
misalignment.
3.3.7. Lift Chain Lubrication
Lubrication of the lift chain in field maintenance is a very
important duty. Hard working, heavily loaded chains cannot
be expected to give satisfactory wear life without scheduled
periodic relubrication. Like all bearing surfaces, a film of oil
between mating parts is required to prevent rapid wear.
Maintaining an oil film on all chain surface will cause the
following:

Minimize joint wear (chain stretch)

Prevent corrosion

Reduce possibility of pin turning

Minimize tight joints in roller chain

Promote smooth, quiet chain action

Lower chain tension by reducing internal wear in


the chain system

Heavy motor oil is an excellent chain lubricant (even used oil


drained from truck engines is adequate for lubricating
exposed lift chains). Brush chains with heavy motor oil (#40
weight oil) to lubricate lift chain rather than #10 weight oil or
automatic transmission fluid. Lubricate the entire length of all
strands every 100 hours (50 hours in corrosive environment).
Do not use dry film lubes on lift chain.

The oil must penetrate chain joint to prevent wear. Applying


oil to the external surface will prevent rust, but oil must flow
into the live bearing surface for maximum wear life.
Lubricate

Lubricate

Apply oil to chains with a narrow paint brush. A plastic liquid


detergent bottle makes a handy lube applicator. Flood the
chain with oil over its entire length.
The best estimate of lube period is 100 hours (or 4 weeks)
actual truck operating time. Trucks in severe service (or
parked outside) may require more frequent relube to maintain
an oil film on all chain surfaces.

2. Operation and Maintenance


Always operate the truck controls in a smooth manner.
Sudden movements of the sideshifter at high lifts can
compromise the stability of the truck, as well as cause
damage to the overall system. Maintenance on the sideshifter
is minimal. Lubrication is not required due to special oil
impregnated nylon slides. However, lubrication will extend the
life of the slides if the unit is not operated in extremely dirty
environments. In a dirty environment, the lubrication may
attract contamination, causing increased wear. The top slides
are completely covered and protected from contamination.
The lower slides have a wiper that protects the slide from
contamination as long as the truck carriage is not nicked or
grooved. It is recommended that an Inspection be conducted
every 1000 hours:
1. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear.
2. Inspect the cylinder (15) and fittings (4) for leaks.
3. Clean the lower slides (6) and truck carriage lower
bar. Inspect for wear.
4. Inspect and adjust the lower hooks (8) for the
proper clearance adjustment.
5. Check the torque on the lower hook mounting bolts
(10) and set screws (9).
NOTE!

In a dirty environment or rough operations,


it is necessary to inspect the sideshifter
more frequently.

2.1. Lower Slides


1. The original thickness of a lower slide is
approximately 0.1875 inch (4.76 mm) and has a
useful life of half its thickness.
2. Replace the lower slide if contamination is present
or excessive play becomes evident.

1. The original thickness of upper slide (1) is
approximately 0.125 inch (3.175 mm) and should
be replaced if the slide is worn beyond 0.0625 inch
(1.59 mm) at any point on the round surface.
2. Replace the upper slides (1) if there is an
unacceptable clearance (greater then 0.125 inch
(3.175 mm) after adjustment) between the lower
hooks (8) and the truck carriage.
3. When replacing the upper slides (1), always
replace all of the slides at the same time to ensure
even wear and proper sideshifter movement.

2.3. Cylinder
1. The hydraulic cylinder (15) is basically a nonserviceable style, with the exception of the gland O
ring. It is recommended that a leaking or defective
cylinder be replaced.
2. If the cylinder rod becomes scored, a minimal
amount of scoring may be removed by polishing
with a fine emery cloth. Deep scoring requires that
the cylinder (15) be replaced.

1. Maintenance
1.1. Inspection
It is critical that proper inspection, adjustment and
maintenance be performed at the normal Planned
Maintenance per the schedule (page 71) to ensure maximum
performance and reliability and eliminate costly premature
failures. The reach bumpers are critical to the proper
operation of the reach assembly and must be inspected at
every Planned Maintenance visit. The carriage/reach
bumpers assure that carriage remains square with the truck
in its nested position. The reach uses rectangular bumpers
attached to each side and at the bottom of carriage/reach
rear frame. The bumpers are attached with screws.
1. Inspect the reach for damage.
2. Inspect the rear frame for cracks.
3. Inspect the upper rear pin holes to ensure that they
have not wallowed out.
4. Inspect cylinders for cracks in the cylinder tube or
bent cylinder rods.
5. Check to make sure that the correct cylinders are
installed on the truck.
6. Verify that reach bumpers are in good condition.
Bumpers that show signs of wear, cracking,
splitting, or deformation must be replaced.

3. Fully retract reach assembly. The reach assembly


must retract evenly to all three reach bumpers. If it
does not retract evenly, add a 0.1196 inch (3.03
mm) or 0.060 inch (1.52 mm) shim accordingly to
the bumper to achieve proper retraction to all three
reach bumpers.
4. Fully retracted the reach assembly. Measure from
the face of the inner column rail to the backside of
the fork hanger carriage, noting this measurement.

6. Subtract the retracted measurement from the


extended measurement. This is your overall reach
stroke. (Example: Extended measurement of 25.75
inches (654.05 mm) minus retracted measurement
of 2.75 inches (69.85 mm) equals an overall reach
stroke of 23 inches (584.2 mm). Specifications
allow a maximum overall reach stroke between
22.75 (577.85 mm) and 23 inches (584.2 mm).
CAUTION The cylinder rod should never be adjusted
where rod end touches the inner arm
assembly. The pins and bushings for the
inner arms should be inspected if the
amount of threads above the jam nuts are
excessively less or greater than three
threads.
7. Adjust the reach cylinder rods so that overall reach
stroke is between 22.75 (577.85 mm) and 23
inches (584.2 mm). If the measurement is correct,
there should be approximately three full threads
showing above the jam nuts at the clevis end of
both reach cylinders.
CAUTION The piston threads must be cleaned, dried,
and have Loctite 243 applied whenever
the reach assembly is readjusted. The jam
nuts must be inspected for tightness at
every Planned Maintenance visit to ensure
proper operation of the reach assembly.

critical to the proper operation of the reach assembly and
must be inspected at every Planned Maintenance visit.
Bumpers that show signs of wear, cracking, splitting, or
deformation must be replaced.

3.1. Reach Adjustment


1. Install a 0.1196 inch (3.03 mm) shim (36) behind
each reach retract bumper (35).
CAUTION The cylinder rod should never be adjusted
where the rod end touches the inner arm
assembly.
2. Fully extend the reach assembly. Loosen reach rod
jam nuts. Adjust reach cylinder rods so the reach
assembly extends in time.
3. Fully retract reach assembly.
4. The reach assembly must retract evenly to all three
retract bumpers (35). If the reach assembly does

not retract to all bumpers evenly, use a 0.1196 inch


(3.03 mm) or 0.060 inch (1.52 mm) shim (36)
accordingly to achieve proper retraction to all three
reach bumpers.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until proper retraction is
achieved.
6. With the reach fully retracted, measure from the
face of the inner column to the backside of fork
hanger carriage (21). Note this measurement.
7. Subtract the retracted measurement from the
extended measurement. This is your overall reach
stroke. (Example: Extended measurement of 25.75
inches (654 mm) minus retracted measurement of
2.75 inches (70 mm) equals an overall reach stroke
of 23 inches (584 mm)).
8. Specifications allow a maximum overall reach
stroke between 22.75 and 23 inches (578 and 584
mm).
CAUTION The cylinder rod should never be adjusted
where the rod end touches the inner arm
assembly. The pins and bushings for the
inner arms should be inspected if the
amount of threads are excessively less or
greater than the three threads.
9. Adjust cylinder rods so that the overall reach stroke
is between 22.75 and 23 inches (578 and 584
mm). When measurement is correct, there should
be approximately three full threads showing above
the jam nuts at the clevis end of reach cylinders.
CAUTION The piston threads must be cleaned and
have Loctite applied whenever the reach
assembly is readjusted. The jam nuts must
be inspected for tightness at every Planned
Maintenance visit to insure proper
operation of the reach assembly.
10. When proper adjustment is achieved, clean rod
threads and apply Loctite 243 thread locking
compound. Lock down jam nuts.

4. Fork Carriage Pivot Pins


RRX35 reach trucks use a pin (19) and roll pin (18)
combination for the fork carriage pivot pin.

5. Carriage Roller Bearings


Two roller bearings (32) are located within the mast assembly
on either side. The carriage must be removed to access
these bearings.
The lower bearings are shimmed at the factory so that no play
exists between the carriage and inner columns. If carriage
becomes loose within inner columns, lower roller bearings
may require additional shims. If possible, maintain an equal
amount of shim thickness on each side. If carriage hangs up
in the column during lowering, one or more of the roller
bearings may be damaged or worn and requires
replacement.

5.1. Removal
1. Remove carriage/reach.
2. The carriage bearing should slide off the shaft with
hand pressure. If necessary, a suitable bearing
puller may be required for removal.
3. Repeat step 2 for the other three bearings.

5.2. Installation
1. Install new bearing on shaft.
2. Repeat step 1 for the other three bearings.
3. Reinstall carriage/reach (see page 507).
4. Test lift/lower functions of the carriage.
5. Return truck to service.

1. Theory of Operation
The reach mechanism extends the forks away from the mast
assembly by pushing the potentiometer forward. With the key
switch ON and the brake pedal and/or right foot pedal
depressed, pushing on the lever causes voltage to be sensed
at the main electronic card. Oil is fed through the reach valve
to the rear ports on the reach cylinders and drives pistons
outward. The oil flows from the front ports of the cylinders
through the reach valve and back to the hydraulic tank. (See
Hydraulic System on page 421.)

2. Maintenance
The only maintenance required on the reach mechanism is
the normal Planned Maintenance per the schedule (page 71).

3. Troubleshooting
CAUTION After elevating or reaching the carriage for
troubleshooting, be sure to use blocks to
secure the carriage.
Use extreme care when blocking the mast
for any reason. Never remove a block when
it is supporting the mast.
Lower the carriage fully and retract the reach mechanism
fully. If the truck is equipped with tilt, set the forks level. If the
truck is equipped with sideshift, center the forks horizontally.
When checking the voltage at the solenoids, make sure the
hydraulic lines and components are fully installed. When
possible, keep the key switch OFF and the battery connector
disconnected.

4. Repair
Minor repair of the reach mechanism include replacement of
the grease fittings on the frames, arms and arm assembly.

5. Rebuild
When it is becomes necessary to rebuild the reach
mechanism, replacement of the fork frame, forward frame,
arms and/or rear frame may be required.

1. General
A height indicator is fit to trucks with high lifting heights which
show the current position of forks within the staging zone.
The character window shows the fork height, based on
information from the sensing device (pulse sensor) (U10)
mounted on mast. For electrical component symbols and
component locations see page 269 and page 273.

2. Operation
The measurement in the staging zone starts when reference
switch (S45) is activated and sends a signal to electronic card
(A5). The pulse sensor (U10) send pulses to (A5) which starts
by indicating preprogrammed free lift height on the display
(2). The pulse sensor has two channels, A and B, which give
signals at 90 degree to each other. This gives information to
(A5) on whether forks are moved up or down.

3. Preset Height
By using the preset height, the operator can lift and lower the
forks to a maximum of 99 different programmable levels,
within the main lift zone.
Based on height information obtained from the pulse sensor,
the lift and lowering mechanism is controlled to stop at the
required level. Depositing or collecting of the load takes place
manually.
The correct height for depositing or collecting the pallet is
requested/programmed via the keyboard. The selected level
can be read on the display, which also indicates any error
codes.

tolerance area (P5).

Err 9

Incorrect values stated when programming.

Err flashes

Communication error between the preset


height and truck computer.

Four lines light up when started. This indicates that no


communication has been established between preset
height and main electronics. These go out when contact
between two units has been established.

Four points are lit in the display when forks are in the free
lift zone.

If the points flash, this indicates that the reference switch


was active when truck was started, e.g., forks were over
the free lift zone. If the points still flash, the preset mast
height could be set to 0; or when forks are lowered, there
can be a fault in the wiring; or the reference height switch
can be faulty.
