Important Safety Information

Most accidents involving product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety
rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an
accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary
training, skill and tools to perform these functions properly.

Improper operation, Iubrication, maintenance or repair of this product can be dangerous and could result
in injury or death.

Do not operater or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product, until you have read
and understood the operation, lubrication, maintenance and repair information.

Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard warnings are
not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or other persons.

The hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” and followed by a “Signal Word” such as “WARNING” as
shown below.

WARNING

The meaning of this safety alert symbol is as follows :

Attention! Become Alert! Your Safety is Involved.

The message that appears under the warning, explaining the hazard, can be either written or pictorially
presented.

Operations that may cause product damage are identified by NOTICE labels on the product and in this
publication.

DAEWOO cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. The warnings in
this pulication and on the product are therefore not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method or operating

others. You should also ensure that the product will not be damaged or made unsafe by the operation, lubrication,
maintenance or repair procedures you choose.

The information, specifications, and illustrations in this publication are on the basis of information available at the
time it was written. The specifications, torques, pressures, measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other
items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service given to the product. Obtain the complete
and most current information before starting any job. DAEWOO dealers have the most current information

two seven segment liquid crystal displays, warning
and system condition segments. Display = “EE” Static Return to Off (SRO)
The LCD consists of seven segments which are
turned on or off to form numbers and letters. The logics has a Static Return to Off (SRO) circuit
which assures that the direction switch has been
returned to neutral and the accelerator returned to
the full up position after the key and seat switch are
closed. This safeguards against an accidental
actuation of direction and speed when an operator
resumes operation of an idle truck.
If SRO occurs, the direction lever can be moved to
neutral and the accelerator pedal released.
The direction can now be reselected and the
accelerator pedal depressed to start normal lift truck
drive operation.

48V battery must be charged or repaired before
continuing to troubleshoot.

Explain situation to the customer. If abuse continues, any drive failure will not be warranted.

Discussion : The logic card monitors the current in the drive motors, and prevents high currents that may
damage the drive motor, or possibly blow the line fuse. It uses two current limits settings for this purpose.
Potentiomenter VR1 sets current limit for transistor pulsing, and if drive motor current exceeds the VR1
current setting for longer than 3 seconds, it will failsafe and display an “F0”. Similary, if the bypass contactor

Creep Speed Selection provides for slower creep speed control, especially at high mast
application. Depending on truck chassis configuration and customer preference, the
creep speed can be selected. The default setting of 2 gives improved creep speed

Quick Procedure for Programmable Features


An alternative method of entering option programmable features has been programmed into the logics. This will
enable quick option programmable features without removing the controller room, line fuse, or placing the
DIAG/RUN/SET switch to the “Set Up” position.
To enter quick option programmable features, open the seat switch and place the direction lever to reverse and
ensure that the park brake is released. While depressing the accelerator to maximum position other than OFF,
and key switch to ON.
Display will go to a solid “O”, indicating that you have entered option programmable features and you are ready
for setting: Place the direction lever to neutral and release accelerator pedal.You can set the option
programmable features.
