can cause damage to lungs and respiratory organs
even in small quantities.
Avoid breathing fumes, do not stand in the smoke.
Use breathing apparatus for fire fighting and work with
burnt material.

Operator's Manual DCF 280-520 IDCF07.01GB


20 2 Safety – Fire

Fire prevention measures

DANGER
Residue from fuel, oils, grease or other flammable
materials on the engine or in the engine compartment
is a fire hazard.
Fire hazard!
Remove residue of flammable materials in the engine
compartment as soon as they are detected. Be extra
careful on hot surfaces such as exhaust systems,
manifolds or turbochargers. If leakage of oil, fuel or
coolant is detected, the reason should be investigated
and the fault corrected before starting the engine.

Make it a habit to make a visual inspection of the engine and engine


compartment before starting the engine and after operation, when the
engine has been stopped. This helps to quickly detect if anything
abnormal has happened or is about to happen. Look particularly
closely for oil, fuel or coolant leakage, loose bolts, worn or badly
tensioned drive belts, loose connections, damaged hoses and electrical
cables. The inspection only takes a few minutes and can prevent
serious faults and costly repairs.

CAUTION
High-pressure washing of sensitive components may
lead to short-circuiting and cause malfunction.
Product damage!
Do not use a high-pressure washer on the cab, radiator,
battery compartment, electric components, control
units, connectors, cable joints, cylinder seals, stub
axles, axle seals and chains.

Action after fire


When handling a machine damaged by fire, or exposed to excessive
heat, the following safety regulations must always be followed:
• Check that the fire has been fully extinguished. Re-extinguish if
necessary.
• Make sure that system voltage is switched off with the battery
disconnector.
• Make sure that the machine is in a secure location, service position.
• Check for that there are no leaks which could cause damage to
the surrounding environment.
• Never touch the burned components with bare hands in order to
avoid coming into contact with molten polymer material.
• Use breathing apparatus, thick gloves and protective safety
goggles.
• Contact Cargotec.

located on the transmission.

DCF 280-330 is equipped with Dana TE17.

DCF 370-520 is equipped with Dana TE32.

Drive axle
The drive axle (front axle) is equipped with a differential and hub
reductions of the planetary gear type.

Brakes
The machine has a brake circuit and is equipped with hydraulically
operated brakes. The brake units consist of fully enclosed oil-cooled
disc brakes with external cooling.

The parking brake is electro-hydraulically operated and brakes with a


disc brake. The disc brake acts on the drive axle's input shaft. The
parking brake is applied by spring force and released by hydraulic
pressure. Parking brake application is automatic if the ignition key
lock is switched off.

Steering
The machine is steered with the rear axle. A double-acting hydraulic
cylinder acts on the wheel pair. The steering is linear, that is, the
steering angle is dependent on the number of steering wheel turns.

Load handling
The mast and fork carriage are used during load handling. The fork
mount sits on the fork carriage and this can be equipped with e.g. forks,
inverted forks, coil ram, top-lift attachment mounted on the fork carriage
either on the forks or on the inverted forks. The load is manoeuvred
vertically, laterally and tilted (angled) forwards or backwards. Fork
spacing is changed by moving the right-hand fork. There are two types
of top-lift attachment, fixed (20" or 40") or adjustable between 20" and
40". The top-lift attachment has twistlocks to secure the load. The
securing of the load and operation of the attachment are managed
electrically and hydraulically.

Electrical system
The electrical system consists of electrical and electromagnetic
components such as battery, switches, cable harnesses, solenoid
valves, fuses and relays.

24 3 Overview – Overview description

Control system
The machine has a computer-based control and monitoring system for
monitoring and controlling the machine's functions as well as handling
all functions in the machine, such as power electronics, drivetrain
and hydraulic system. The control and monitoring system facilitates
maintenance.

Cab
The cab is available in one version. Instrumentation and equipment is
customizable, and model adapted.
• Cab Spirit Delta
Spirit Delta is an enclosed operator's station built of a supporting
frame to withstand falling load in accordance with the standards in
force. It is equipped with a fresh air system with filtered air intake
and recirculation and heating and air conditioning ( ).
The roof window is made of high-strength material and withstands
heavy blows, e.g. from falling objects.
The cab can be moved sideways ( ).

Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system includes the sub-functions of brakes and working
hydraulics.

The working hydraulics include hydraulics for steering, load handling


and cab functions.

The work hydraulics are supplied from two fixed vane pumps and the
brake system is supplied from a vane pump.

For some machines the brake system is separate from the work
hydraulics and has, in addition to its own vane pump, its own tank,
filter, accumulators, and cooler .

4.1 Warning and indicator lights


General
This section describes the warning lamps and indicator lights in the
cab. They indicate the status of subsystems/systems. An illuminated
warning lamp should be attended to immediately. An illuminated
indicator light informs of imminent action.

All lights in the panel are activated briefly when starting. Warning
and indicator lights are concentrated in a panel on the steering wheel
panel (position 50).

Numbers in brackets refer to the positions in Overview, page 37.

Warning lamp, low battery charging (32)


The light (red) warns in case of missing charge to the batteries. The
light is activated if the voltage from the alternator is lower than the
000297 battery voltage.

If the warning light remains lit, switch off the engine and contact
service.

NOTE
Do not operate with an activated light for low battery charging.

Warning lamp, low brake pressure (33)


The light (red) is activated when the pressure in the accumulator, that
is, the brake pressure is too low. After the light has been activated,
the service brake's capacity is limited.
000298

Check the accumulators' sealing integrity if the pressure does not build
up and is not maintained, see chapter 6 Inspection and maintenance.

Indicator light for active error codes (34)


The indicator light (orange) shows that the control system has one
or several error codes, active or passive. For more information, see
section 5.3 Error codes.

5 Handling 75

5 Handling
General
The machine is intended to be used in the way that is described in
the operator's manual. If the machine is used in any other way or in
potentially dangerous environments, e.g. an explosive environment,
then special safety rules must be followed and the machine must be
equipped for such an environment.

NOTE
It is the operator who is responsible for ensuring that the machine
comes in for service according to prescribed service intervals.
Procedures are described in the maintenance manual.

The information in the chapter for handling the machine does not
relieve the operator of the responsibility of following laws or other
national regulations for road safety and work safety.

Awareness, alertness, good judgement and respect for governing


safety regulations are prerequisites for avoiding accident risks.

Environmental impact
It is important that the machine is used in a way that results in minimal
environmental impact with regards to fuel consumption, exhausts, and
noise emissions. Therefore, keep the following in mind:
• Plan the work and optimise machine use.
• Avoid operating with full throttle when transporting.
• Do not rev the engine unnecessarily when load handling.
• Optimise operation with regard to acceleration and braking.
• Minimise the time that the machine idles. Do not allow the machine
to idle when there is a break in the work.

Emergency equipment
The following emergency equipment is available on the machine:
• Emergency exit from cab, right-hand door.
In an emergency:
Open the emergency exit, right door, with the handle on the inside.

Bypass of load handling functions must not be used
when lifting or transporting loads.
Extreme hazard to personal health and risk of property
damage.
Only use the bypass in emergency situations.

IDCF07.01GB Operator's Manual DCF 280-520


5 Handling – Running-in 77

5.1 Running-in
General
The machine should be operated with great care during the running-in
period. The aim is to give bearing surfaces hard and polished surfaces,
which considerably extends the service life.

Recommended running-in period is 10 hours of operating time. This


results in fewer malfunctions.

Engine
A new engine should always be handled with great care - it must have
a running-in period. Avoid running the engine at full load during the first
10 hours. The load can then be gradually increased.

NOTE
Check the oil pressure and temperature at regular intervals.

Oil and filter should be changed for the first time after 50 operating
hours.

Thereafter oil and filter changes take place according to intervals


described in the maintenance manual.

Transmission
Filters must be changed for the first time at the 50-hour inspection.
The oil and filer are then changed according to intervals described in
the maintenance manual.

Tyres and rims


For a new machine it is extremely important that the wheel nuts are
check-tightened during the first week of operation until they are properly
set in. This must be performed at intervals of 4-5 operating hours (up
to about 40-50 operating hours). The wheel nuts are then tightened
according to the interval described in the maintenance manual.

Operator's Manual DCF 280-520 IDCF07.01GB


78 5 Handling – Daily inspection

5.2 Daily inspection


General
Daily inspection of the machine is extremely important in order to
ensure that it is safe both for the operator and its surroundings.

Every operator should perform checks before a new work shift. In this
way, operators can avoid running defective machines with malfunctions
that have been generated or caused during an earlier work shift.

WARNING
Never use a machine without first performing the daily
inspection.
Risk of personal injury and property damage!
For work instructions, see section 6.1 Daily inspection.
Report to the foreman/supervisor if defects are found
on the machine during daily inspection!

For work instructions, see section 6.1 Daily inspection.

For serious transmission malfunctions the control unit uses two modes
with reduced functionality to protect the transmission from damage.
These are:
• “Limp home”, GPOS / CPOS in display indicates the letters LH.
In this state, the driver can use the transmission's first two gears in
each direction. If the fault occurs in a higher gear, the driver must
shift down manually to first or second gear in order to continue.
The control unit uses the default values for the modulation of the
clutches.
• “Shut down”, GPOS / CPOS in display indicates the letters Sd.
In this mode the transmission is permanently in neutral as there
is no oil pressure to enable gear selection.

5 Handling – Load handling 127

5.5 Load handling


General
During all lifting work, make sure that the max. lift capacity is not
exceeded, see machine plate or load diagram.

The forklift's capacity is indicated by three parameters:


• position of load's centre of gravity
• lifting height
• load's size

The capacity varies between models and versions, see the machine

012511
and type plates, section 3.2 Plates.

It is important to estimate the position of the centre of gravity. If the


machine appears to be side-heavy, the load should be lowered and
adjusted with side shift so that the load's centre of gravity is moved
012512 to a position along the machine's centre line.

The function load handling refers to, e.g., to lift, lower, rotate, angle
or hold loads.

5.5.1 Lifting load


General
There are different types of lifting tool for load handling, most common
are:
• forks
• inverted forks
• top lift attachment mounted on forks
• top lift attachment mounted on inverted forks
• coil ram

There are three types of top lift attachment


• fixed 20'
• fixed 40'
• adjustable 20' - 40'
For a top lift attachment, the attachment must be aligned with
all four corners against the container both when locking and
releasing the twistlocks. When releasing, the container must also
stand securely with all four corners on the ground surface. The
top-lift attachment is equipped with indicator lights that indicate
its different positions. The indicator lights are placed to the right
on the top-lift attachment.

This manual describes lifting using forks, and lifting using the top lift
attachment fitted on inverted forks.

IDCF07.01GB Operator's Manual DCF 280-520


5 Handling – Lifting load 129

DANGER
Respect the lifting capacity of the machine and
exercise the greatest caution during load handling:
• Never handle unstable or loosely loaded goods.
Take great care when handling long, high or wide
goods to prevent the load from sliding off, being
damaged or tipping the machine.
• Remember not to exceed the maximum load
capacity, see the type plate. If necessary, estimate
the centre of gravity and determine the maximum
load capacity with the help of load diagram located
in the cab.
• Never tilt the mast forward with a load on it.
• No personnel may encroach or stand under a raised
load.
Risk of load tipping over, being dropped or damage to
property or extreme danger!
Make sure that the load is positioned securely before
lifting.

DANGER
Make sure that the lifting tool is marked with the type
plate from Cargotec or another manufacturer. There
must always be a plate stating the capacity data for
all attachments.
Extreme hazard to personal health and risk of property
damage!
Make sure that nothing other than approved lifting
attachments are used.

WARNING
Do not use a machine where the indicator lights are out
of order.
Danger of reduced safety during load handling!
If the indicator lights don't work, stop work with the
machine and repair.

General

WARNING
Transporting loads is associated with major risks.
Risk of roll-over and tipping over! Chance of load
damage to property! Extreme danger!
Respect the lifting capacity of the machine and exercise
the greatest caution during load handling:
• The machine shall only be operated on even
surfaces, intended for the machine's total weight
and ground pressure.
• All transporting of loads must take place in transport
position. Exercise caution when operating, think
about the width and height so that the mast or
forks/attachment does not collide with poles,
cables, etc.
• Do not transport the load in high position since this
may cause the machine to roll or tip over.
• Always operate with the load facing uphill on an
uphill or downhill grade, never operate or turn
across a grade.
• Operate the machine in reverse if the transported
load obscures visibility to the front.
• No personnel may encroach or stand under a raised
load.
• The operator must avoid forceful acceleration
and heavy braking to prevent risk of tipping and
roll-over.
• The operator must always adjust the speed when
turning to prevent skidding and risk of roll-over or
tipping over.
In the event that the machine rolls over or tips, hold
onto the steering wheel and always stay in the cab.
Do NOT try to jump out of the cab until the machine
has stopped moving.
When handling special loads local regulations may
apply. Learn about them and follow them.

Before taking actions and after finished towing, the parking brake
must be applied and the wheels blocked to prevent the machine from
starting to roll.

Extreme care must be observed during towing work to avoid personal


injuries.

When towing, keep in mind:


• The towing vehicle should be heavier than the vehicle in tow.
• If possible when towing, the engine should be running in order for
brakes and steering to function.
When the engine is switched off, there is no hydraulic pressure for
the steering function and thus the machine's steering function is
severely limited. Also, the transmission lubrication is insufficient.
• The brakes function as long as there is pressure in the
accumulator/accumulators, then the service brake stops
functioning and the parking brake is applied automatically. If it is
necessary to move/tow the machine after that, the parking brake
must be released mechanically, see section 7.1.1 Mechanical
release of parking brake.
• Only tow for very short distances.
• If it is necessary to tow the machine, the propeller shaft must be
released from both transmission and drive axle.

7.1.1 Mechanical release of parking brake


Description
The parking brake is applied automatically by a forceful spring in the
brake cylinder if the pressure in the hydraulic accumulator/hydraulic
accumulators should drop below a certain level.

If the machine has to be moved (towed) without sufficient pressure in


the hydraulic accumulator/hydraulic accumulators, the parking brake
must be released mechanically (manually).

standards
General
The ever-increasing industrialisation of our world is having a significant
impact on our global environment. Nature, animals and people are
subjected daily to risks in connection with various forms of chemical
handling.
There are still no environmentally safe chemicals, such as oils and
coolants, available on the market. Therefore, all who handle, perform
service on or repair machines must use the tools, assisting devices and
methods necessary to protect the environment in an environmentally
sound manner.
By following the simple rules below, you will contribute to protecting
our environment.

machine is more than 90% recyclable by weight.

Environmentally hazardous waste


Components such as batteries, oils, and various chemicals and other
items that may constitute environmentally hazardous waste must be
handled and taken care of in an environmentally safe and sound
manner.
Discarded batteries contain substances hazardous to personal health
and the environment. Therefore, handle batteries in an environmentally
safe manner and according to national regulations.

Oils and fluids


Oils freely discharged cause environmental damage and can also be a
fire hazard. Therefore, when emptying and draining oils or fuel, take
appropriate action to prevent unnecessary spills.
Waste oils and fluids should always be taken care of by an authorised
disposal company.
Pay close attention to oil leaks and other fluid leaks! Take immediate
action to seal the leaks.

Air conditioning
The refrigerant in the air conditioning system for the cab accelerates
the greenhouse effect if it comes out into the open air. All service
work on the air conditioning system requires specific training. Many
countries also require certification by a governing authority for such
work. When scrapping an air conditioning unit, the refrigerant shall be
taken care of by a certified company.

Working in a contaminated area


The machine must be equipped for work in contaminated areas
(environmentally polluted or health-hazardous area) before work is
started. Also, there are special local rules in force for such handling
and when servicing such a machine.
