Description
Your
Approved applications
Linde lift trucks offer the best in economy, safety and

driving convenience. However, preserving the qualities of
the truck for a long and profitable service life, and making
full use of their benefits in operation, relies mainly on the
operator .
Linde trucks are designed for transporting and lifting

loads stated on the load capacity plate within a temperature
range of 40C down to -10C standard, or -30C as an
option.
This Operating Instructions manual tells you all you must

know about starting, running, servicing and maintaining
your Linde lift truck.
In particular, we refer to the attached booklet (VDMA or BITA

for UK market) concerning the safe operation and accident
prevention for fork lift trucks, to the safety guidelines for
gas vehicles and the regulations for use of the truck on
public roads.
To keep your warranty valid and to ensure safety, all

maintenance should only be carried out by qualified
persons authorised by Linde.
The booklet for users of industrial and rough terrain trucks

(VDMA or BITA for UK market) must be followed under all
circumstances by the operator and service personnel.
The user, and not Linde, is responsible for any accidents
arising from applications not authorised by the manufacturer.
Should you want to use the forklift truck for applications not
covered in these instructions, please contact your local
Linde representative.
No modifications or conversions may be made, or
additional equipment fitted to your fork lift truck, without
prior permission of the manufacturer.
For attachments: the operating instructions supplied by
the attachment manufacturer are applicable.

Technical specifications
The electric seated pallet stackers L12R - L16R of type 139
help stacking and moving loads over long distances.
The various models offered:
- L12R nominal capacity of 1200 Kg
- L16R nominal capacity of 1600 Kg
- Without or with initial lift (I), enabling use as pallet
transporter for loads up to 2000 kg and facilitating the
loading of trucks and wagons.
- Single-pedal or dual-pedal
The main lift with proportional control (LLC) ensures
precision fork movements.
139 804 25 71.0503
Its compact construction, design with ground support at 4

points, small turning radius and its electrical steering
make this stacker truck into a very compact, and very easily
maneuverable high performance tool.
Drive:
The 2kW traction motor is vertically mounted on the
reduction gear unit. The main wheel is driven via 2 stages
of pinion gear reduction.
Power is supplied by a 24 volt lead-acid storage battery
with a capacity of 400 to 720 Ah according to types of
chassis.
The motors supply is controlled by the LDC
microprocessor-controlled electronic controller which,
adapts perfectly to all requirements.
Description
Steering:
Braking:
The (LES) electrical steering offers steering precision and

reduced manoeuvring effort.
The L12R and L16R trucks have electro-magnetic brakes

and a brake with counter-current controlled by the speed
control.
The motor unit is mounted on a turn table; the steering

employs an electrical gear motor, which positions the
drive wheel. The steering motor is controlled by an
electronic drive unit, which receives, from one direction,
the information coming from the control lever, and from the
other, the information on the tiller's orientation.
The electromagnetic brake ensures:

- a progressive braking through action on the brake pedal
- a safety braking in case of truck operational fault.
- a parking brake applied when the driver leaves the truck and
unlocked by a rocker switch.
A safety device stops the truck in case of operation fault.
Lifting:
The trucks are available with different hydraulic systems:
- Pallet stackers without initial lift are equipped with a 3
kW motor, and pump unit with a double pump, which
offers high lifting speed when unloaded (booster effect).
- Order picker with initial lift equipped with a 3 kW motor
pump unit, equipped with a double pump, to which a
solenoid valve that controls the initial lift is added.
The mast lift control is carried out by a proportional joystick
control (LLC) provided with an instrument panel.
Industrial good visibility type masts are made of steel Isections.
Overall height with standard mast up to 4724 mmThere are 3 types of mast assemblies (S = standard, D =
duplex with free lift, T = triplex with free lift).
An additional jack is used to lift the load carrier arms on the
L12R and L16RI models (with optional initial lift).
The LDC speed control allows:

- a braking with counter-current through reversal of the
direction of travel
- an automatic braking released by releasing the accelerator.
Driving:
- The driver sits crossways on an adjustable seat. This
driving arrangement gives excellent visibility in both travel
directions.
- With the right hand, the driver activates the lifting control
joystick while the left hand remains on the wheel to drive
the truck.
- On single pedal stacker trucks, the travel direction is
controlled using the inverter button close to the right hand;
speed is controlled by pushing down the accelerator
pedal.
- On stacker trucks with dual-pedal control, the travel direction and speed are controlled by the two travel control
pedals.
- An emergency-isolator completely cuts off the electrical
circuit and actuates the brake when depressed.

DANGER
Charging and servicing of the battery must be
carried out in conformity with the instructions
supplied with the battery and the charger (if
using an external charger).
The electrolyte contains sulphuric acid, which is a
dangerous substance. During any work on the battery,
wear gloves and goggles. In the event of any splashes on
the skin or into the eyes, rinse immediately in pure water
and consult a doctor if necessary. During charging,
batteries emit hydrogen gas, which can create an explosive mixture. Do not create sparks, smoke, or place any
flame near a battery on charge or one which has been
recently charged. To avoid any accumulation of hydrogen,
leave the battery cover open during charging, which
should be carried out in a well-ventilated area. Do not
place any metallic object on the battery, as this may
create a short-circuit.

battery in terms of voltage and charge current (see
charger instructions).
- When charger and battery connectors are being connected, ensure you follow the + and - polarities (do not
reverse the connectors).
- The connectors have has a polarisation finger to prevent
reversals. Check regularly that they are present and in
good condition.
Checking the condition of battery cables,

terminals and connector.
- Check that cable insulation is undamaged, and that the
connections show no sign of overheating.
- Check that the + and - battery terminal pillars are not
sulphated (indicated by the presence of a white salt-like
deposit).
- Check the condition of the connector contacts, and the
presence of the locating pin.
ATTENTION
Failure to observe the above procedures may
result in serious damage. Please contact your
local representative as quickly as possible to
remedy any such damage.
21
CAUTION
Avoid any contact with the acid. Do not create
any short-circuit. Refer to the recommendations
in the daily checks section.
Checking electrolyte level and topping up

with water.
- This check, and any necessary topping-up, is to be
carried out once a week, after recharging the battery.
- Turn off the key-switch, open the cover, and disconnect
the battery connector.
- Check the level. It should be up to the base of the filler
plug, just above the top of the separator.
- Use demineralised water to top up any cells with a low
water level.
- Replace the filler plugs.
ATTENTION
Use only demineralised water for topping up.
Never add water before charging (risk of
overspill).
Do not overfill the cells.
For more information, refer to the instructions supplied
with the battery.
Checking the specific gravity of the

electrolyte
- Measuring the specific gravity gives an accurate indication of the state of charge of each cell in the battery. This
measurement may be carried out before or after charging.
- Minimum specific gravity, battery 80% discharged:
1.14
- High specific gravity, battery 100% charged: 1.29 to
1.32 (according to make).
- We recommend measurement every week or two. Keep
a record of the values measured in the service booklet
for your battery.
- Using an acid hydrometer, carefully measure the specific
gravity in each cell.
- Replace the filler plugs when finished.
- Remove the filler plug for each cell as described above.
NOTE:
If there are voltage discrepancies between the various
cells, or if any cells show a particularly low voltage,
contact our local representative. Any discharge below the
threshold of 1.14 will be extremely detrimental to the
lifespan of the battery.

behind of the one to be picked up.
- Lift the load a few centimetres off the ground.
- Withdraw the truck from the pallet rack or adjoining
loads slowly and in a straight line.
- It is preferable to transport a load in the forward direction

for reasons of visibility.
- When transporting a load on a steep slope always
ascend or descend with the load on the uphill side, do
not cut across and do not perform U-turns.
- Reverse travel is used only for putting down the load, at
very low speed because of reduced visibility.
- L12RI* - L16RI*: always raise the initial lift to increase
the ground clearance, to make it easy to pass over
obstacles.
- Move the truck carefully to the required place.

Maintenance
Standard mast
Duplex mast
OPERATION
When the inner mast is raised, the chain return pulley is
also raised such that the fork carriage rises twice as fast
as the internal mast assembly.
NOTE
The advantage of this mast is that it can be used in places
with low ceilings such as cellars, railway wagons, holds
of ships, etc. enabling maximum exploitation of its free
lifting capacity.
Securing the standard mast
OPERATION
The fork carriage is raised as far as the free lift position by
the chain pulley of the central cylinder. It moves at twice
the speed of the cylinder.
The inner mast is then raised by the two side cylinders
along with the fork carriage. The central cylinder is
mounted on the inner mast.
CAUTION

Disconnect the battery before cleaning. Use steam jet or
highly degreasing cleaning products only with great care,
since they dilute the grease of bearings with lifetime
lubrication. Given that subsequent greasing is not an
option, these cleaning methods cause deterioration of the
bearings.
ATTENTION
When using cleaning equipment, do not expose the electrical circuits, motors and insulating panels to direct jets; protect them before
cleaning.
When using compressed air, first remove stubborn dirt
with a cold detergent.
Before lubricating jobs, clean the oil filler openings and
their surroundings, as well as oilers, with particular care.
Dry the truck after cleaning
42
If despite all precautions, water has penetrated into the

motors, the truck must be put into operation to avoid the
formation of rust (drying with its own heat). The motors
may also be dried with compressed air.
NOTE
If a truck is cleaned frequently it must also be greased
more often.
Cleaning the battery and battery

compartment
CAUTION
This is a delicate operation, and requires the
wearing of gloves, goggles and acid-resistant
clothing.
