SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
• When lifting parts or assemblies, make sure all slings, chains, or cables are correctly
fastened, and that the load being lifted is balanced. Make sure the crane, cables, and
chains have the capacity to support the weight of the load.

• Do not lift heavy parts by hand, use a lifting mechanism.

• Wear safety glasses.

• DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTOR before doing any maintenance or repair


on electric lift trucks. Disconnect the battery ground cable on internal combustion lift
trucks.

• Always use correct blocks to prevent the unit from rolling or falling. See HOW TO PUT
THE LIFT TRUCK ON BLOCKS in the Operating Manual or the Periodic Mainte-
nance section.

• Keep the unit clean and the working area clean and orderly.

• Use the correct tools for the job.

• Keep the tools clean and in good condition.

• Always use HYSTER APPROVED parts when making repairs. Replacement parts
must meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment manufacturer.

• Make sure all nuts, bolts, snap rings, and other fastening devices are removed before
using force to remove parts.

• Always fasten a DO NOT OPERATE tag to the controls of the unit when making repairs,
or if the unit needs repairs.

• Be sure to follow the WARNING and CAUTION notes in the instructions.

• Gasoline, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and Diesel fuel
are flammable. Be sure to follow the necessary safety precautions when handling these
fuels and when working on these fuel systems.

• Batteries generate flammable gas when they are being charged. Keep fire and sparks
away from the area. Make sure the area is well ventilated.

NOTE: The following symbols and words indicate safety information in this
manual:

WARNING
Indicates a condition that can cause immediate death or injury!

CAUTION
Indicates a condition that can cause property damage!

GENERAL
The GE Handset is a tool that can be used with the
LX, ZX, SR, and SP GE solid-state controllers. The
Handset has a Light Emitting Diode (LED) display, a
keypad for data entry, an adjustment knob for chang-
ing function values and for access to stored status
codes. See Figure 3. The Handset can ONLY be con-
nected directly to a motor controller. The following
pages describe the correct procedures.

CHECK OR DELETE STORED STATUS


CODES
To check or delete stored status codes with the Hand-
set, follow sequence in Figure 5.

Status codes for these functions are stored together


with the battery charge at the time the malfunction
or symptom occurred. The first of the 16 status codes
will be overwritten each time a malfunction or symp-
tom occurs to enter a new status code. See Table 1.
The stored status codes can be cleared from the reg-
ister by using the Handset. To access and clear the
status code registers with the Handset, use the pro-
cedure shown in Figure 5.

The current for the line contactor coil is Yes Traction
65 too high during operation.
Symptom
Motor controller does not operate.

Possible Causes and Test Procedures


• Line contactor coil has a short circuit.
Disconnect the wires at the coil terminals of the
line contactor and check for the correct resistance
between the terminals.

SEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


Most electric lift trucks have used series motor de-
signs because of their ability to produce very high lev-
els of torque at low speeds. Higher efficiency shunt
motors are now often being considered over series
motors. By separately controlling the field and arma-
ture currents of the SEM system, the best attributes
of both the series and the shunt wound motors can
be combined.

SEM SYSTEM OPERATION (SR MOTOR

Reverse Circuit
The direction of armature rotation on a shunt motor
is determined by the direction in which current flows
through the field windings. A shunt motor field usu-
ally requires about 10% of the armature current at
full torque. The lower current makes it possible to
replace the reversing contactors of a series motor sys-
tem with a transistor circuit. See Figure 17.
