A Correct use and application of the truck
A The “Guidelines for the Correct Use and Application of Industrial Trucks” (VDMA) are
included in the scope of delivery for this truck. The guidelines are part of these oper-
ating instructions and must always be heeded. National regulations are fully applica-
ble.

The fork lift truck described in these operating instructions is a truck that is suitable
for lifting and transporting loads.
It must be used, operated and maintained according to the information in these oper-
ating instructions. Any other uses are outside the design envelope and can lead to
injury to persons or damage to equipment and property. Above all, overloading
caused by excessively heavy or unbalanced loads must be avoided. The max. admis-
sible load to be picked up is indicated on the identification plate or load diagram label
shown on the truck. The fork lift truck must not be operated in spaces subject to fire
or explosion hazards, or in spaces where corrosive or very dusty atmospheres pre-
vail.

Duties of the user: A “user” within the meaning of these operating instructions is de-
fined as any natural or legal person who either uses the fork lift truck himself, or on
whose behalf it is used. In special cases (e.g. leasing or renting), the user is consid-
ered the person, who, in accordance with existing contractual agreements between
the owner and the user of the fork lift truck, is charged with the observance of the op-
erating duties.
The user must ensure that the truck is not abused and only used within its design lim-
its and that all danger to life and limb of the operator, or third parties, is avoided. In
addition to this, it must be ensured that the relevant accident prevention regulations
and other safety-related provisions, as well as the operating, servicing and mainte-
nance guidelines, are observed. The user must also ensure that all persons operating
the truck have read and understood these operating instructions.

m If these operating instructions are not observed the warranty becomes void. The
same applies if improper works are carried out at the device by the customer and/or
third parties without permission of our Customer Service.

Mounting of attachments: The mounting or installation of any attachments which


will interfere with, or supplement, the functions of the truck is permitted only after writ-
ten approval by the manufacturer has been obtained. If necessary, the approval of
local authorities has to be obtained.
Any approval obtained from local authorities does not, however, make the approval
by the manufacturer unnecessary.

B Truck description
1 Application

The truck is an electric pedestrian stacker in four-wheel construction with foldable


driver platform.
It is designed for transporting and lifting goods on level ground. The wheel arm lift (on-
ly for ERC-Z trucks) increases the ground clearance for transport over unevenground.
Depending on the design, the hoist frame permits loads to be stacked and retrieved
up to a max. height of 5.35 m and to be transported over longer distances. The truck
capacity is indicated on the identification label or the capacity label Qmax.
Due to its high travelling speed, the ERC 14/16 is equipped with safety extensions.

C Transportation and commissioning
1 Transportation by crane

f Only use lifting equipment with sufficient bearing capacity (loading weight see identi-
fication label on truck).
If trucks are to be lifted that are provided with a wheel-arm lifting device, be careful
not to protrude the lifting cylinders while the truck is being lifted. If the device is com-
pletely protruded, there is the risk that the cylinder protection is being released due
to overloading.

A A hoisting point (2) is provided at the hoist frame for loading the truck with the help of
hoisting gear.
Trucks that are provided a with wheel-arm lifting device, have two more hoisting
points (1) for loading.

– Park the truck and render it safe


(refer to chapter E).
– Attach the hoisting gear to the stop (2)
on the hoisting mast. 2
– In case of trucks that are provided with
1
a wheel-arm lifting device, the hoisting
gear can also be attached to the stops
(1) on the vehicle chassis.

m Secure the hoisting gear to the hoisting


points ensuring that the hoisting gear will
not slip! The hoisting gear must be atta-
ched in such a way that it does touch any
add-on parts while the truck is being lif-
ted.
Trucks with wheel-arm lifting device
must hang horizontally or slightly incli-
ned in the direction of the lifting device.

2 First commissioning

m The truck must only be operated on battery current. Rectified alternate current will da-
mage the electronics. Cables connected to the battery (towing cable) must be less
than 6 meters in length.

f It is prohibited to hoist loads when the truck is operated via a towing cable with an
external battery.

In order to prepare the truck for work following delivery or transportation, the following
operations must be performed:

– Check whether the equipment is complete and in perfect condition.


– If required, mount the battery, make sure not to damage the battery cable
(see chapter D).
1001.GB

C1

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


A At trucks with an optionally built-in battery charger, adjust the characteristics (loading
cam) (see chapter D).

– Load the battery (see chapter D).


– If required, check whether the settings of the combined instrument correspond to
the battery (see chapter D).
– Commission the truck as prescribed
(see chapter E).

A If the truck is parked for longer periods, the running surfaces of the wheels may be
flattened. However, this flattening will disappear quickly when the truck is being
driven.

3 Moving the truck with the drive unit inoperative

f This operating mode is not permitted when negotiating inclines and gradients.

If the truck has to be moved after a failure has rendered it immobile, proceed as fol-
lows:

– Set the master switch to position “OFF”.


– Set the key switch to position “OFF” (“0”)
and remove the key.
4
– If a code lock is installed, the
o-key must be pressed. 3
– Ensure that the truck cannot accidentally
move.
– Open the front cover and set it down 3
(refer to chapter F).
– Slacken the lock nuts (3) and tighten the
screws (4).
The brake has now been released and the
truck can be moved.

f After arriving at the repair bay, ensure that


the brake is put back to its initial state. The
truck must on no account be parked with
the brake in the released condition.

– Loosen the screws (4) by approx. 5 mm and lock by tightening the lock nuts (3).
The brake is now applied again.
– Mount the front cover.

minals and cable shoes must be clean, lightly greased with pole grease and must be
securely tightened. Batteries with bare terminal posts must be covered using a non-
skid insulating mat.

Disposal of the battery: Batteries must only be disposed of as stipulated in the na-
tional environmental protection regulations or waste disposal provisions. The manu-
facturer’s specifications for the disposal must be heeded.

m Before closing the battery hood, make sure that the battery cable cannot be dama-
ged.

f Batteries contain dissolved acid which is toxic and caustic. For this reason, protective
clothing and goggles must be worn whenever work is undertaken on batteries. Avoid
physical contact with battery acid.
If clothing, skin or eyes accidentally come into contact with battery acid, liberally flush
the affected parts with clean water. Consult a doctor when skin or eyes come into con-
tact with battery acid. Spilled battery acid must be immediately neutralized.

m Only batteries with closed tray may be used.

4 Operation of the fork lift truck

4.1 Safety regulations applicable when operating the truck

Driving lanes and work areas: Only such lanes and routes that are specially alloca-
ted for truck traffic must be used. Unauthorized persons must stay away from work
areas. Loads must only be stored at places specially provided for this purpose.

Driving conduct: The travelling speed must be adapted to the prevailing local con-
ditions. The truck must be driven at slow speed when negotiating bends or narrow
passages, when passing through swing doors and at blind spots. The driver must al-
ways observe an adequate braking distance between the fork lift truck and the vehicle
in front and he must be in control of his truck at all times. Sudden stopping (except in
emergencies), rapid U-turns and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots is not permit-
ted. It is forbidden to lean out of or reach beyond the working and operating area.
Visibility: The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always have a clear
view of the route ahead. When loads blocking the view are carried, the fork lift truck
must be driven with the load at the rear. If this is not possible, a second person must
walk in front of the fork lift truck to give suitable warnings.

Negotiating slopes and inclines: Negotiating of slopes and inclines is permitted


only when they are recognised lanes, when they are clean and non-slipping, and
when the technical specification of the truck permits safe driving on such slopes or
inclines. Loads must always be carried at that end of the truck facing uphill. U-turns,
cutting obliquely over slopes or inclines and parking of the fork lift truck on slopes or
inclines is not permitted. Inclines must only be negotiated at slow speed, with the
driver ready to brake at any moment.
Use of lifts and driving on loading platforms: Lifts and loading platforms must only
be used if they are of adequate load bearing capacity, if suitable for driving on, and if
authorised by the user of the truck for truck traffic. The fork lift truck driver has to sa-
tisfy himself accordingly before driving into lifts or on to loading platforms. The truck
must enter lifts with the load in front and must take up a position which does not allow
it to come into contact with the walls of the lift shaft.
Persons riding in the lift together with the fork lift truck must only enter the lift after the
fork lift truck has come safely to a standstill, and must leave the lift before the fork lift
truck.

Nature of the loads carried: Only loads that have been safely and correctly secured
must be carried. Never transport loads stacked higher than the top of the fork carria-
ge, or stacked higher than the guard grille.

Towing trailers: The maximum trailer load given for the fork lift truck for braked and/
or unbraked trailers must not be exceeded. The trailer load must be properly secured
and must not exceed the dimensions permitted for the driving routes. After attaching
the trailer but before starting driving, the driver must check that the trailer attachment
is secured against detachment. Towing fork lift trucks must be operated in such a
manner that safe driving and braking of the truck and the trailer is guaranteed for all
driving movements.

4.2 Driving, steering, braking

f Be extremely careful when driving and steering, especially when parts of the body
protrude from the truck contour.

Emergency cut-out
– Depress the master switch (13).

This will switch off all electric functions. The truck is compulsory braked.

Emergency stop
When the control shaft (4) is released, the truck is automatically braked (emergency
stop). The control shaft will automatically move into the upper braking range (B).

f If the control shaft is sluggish in moving into the braking range, the cause must be
established and eliminated. If necessary, the return spring must be replaced.

Driving

f When swivelling the driver’s standing platform (16) upwards, do not reach between
the driver’s standing platform and the truck’s side wall.
There are three different travelling modes:

– Pedestrian-controlled operation:
Swivel the safety extensions (17)*) inwards and then fold up
driver platform (16).
– Ride-on mode:
Fold down driver platform (16).
– Ride-on mode with increased speed:
Swivel the safety extensions (17)*) outwards and then fold down
driver platform (16).

A The travelling function is blocked if the driver is not standing on the platform and the
safety extensions* are not folded out.

*) not with vehicles with load bearing capacity of 1200kg

f Do not drive the truck unless the hoods are closed and locked in the stipulated man-
ner. When passing through swing doors, or similar, take care that the anti-collision
button (1) is not inadvertently operated.
– Start up the truck (refer to section 3).
– Swivel the control shaft (4) into driving range “F”.
– Turn the controller (8) in the desired travelling direction: forward (V) or reverse (R).
The truck will move in the selected direction.

A The travelling speed is controlled by means of the controller (8).

Driving up an incline

m The load must be transported facing the incline!

Safety measures against “rolling down” of the truck:


With the controller (8) set to neutral, the service brake is automatically applied after a
brief jolt (the controller detects the truck’s rolling down on an incline). The controller
(8) is used to release the service brake; the speed and driving direction are set as
desired.

m When the service personnel has switched off the coast-down brake, only the service
and/or the counter-current brake can be used.

Steering

f In narrow bends, the driver will be positioned at the outer contours of the truck.

– Swivel the control shaft (4) to left or right.


The position of the control shaft corresponds to the position of the steered driven
wheel.

Electrical steering
The electric steering system is self-monitoring.

The steering control systems monitors the fault frequency over a certain period. If the
same fault is detected several times during this period, the steering control reduces
the driving speed of the truck to low speed. If such a fault occurs, the driving speed
is not reset to normal speed by switching the truck off and on again. This method pre-
vents the cancellation of a fault without eliminating the fault.

Braking

f The braking behaviour of the truck strongly depends on the state of the floor. This
must be taken into account by the driver for his driving behaviour.

The truck may be braked in three ways:


– either by counter-current braking (controller (8))
– or by means of the service brake (control shaft (4))
– or by using the generator brake (coasting)

f In case of emergencies, the truck must only be braked using the service brake
(control shaft (4)).

m During normal operation, the generator brake and counter-current braking should be
applied. These methods of braking reduce wear and require less energy (energy
recovery).
0602.GB

E 11

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


Braking by means of the service brake:

– Swivel the control shaft (4) into one of the braking ranges “B” or release the control
shaft altogether.
The drive motor will then be braked by means of the motor brake.

A When the control shaft is released, it will automatically swivel into the upper braking
range “B”. When the truck is parked, the motor brake will act as a parking brake.

Counter-current braking
– Setting the controller (8) to the opposite drive direction while travelling.
The truck is braked by counter-current until it starts moving into the opposite direction.

A The braking effect depends on the setting of the controller.


Braking by means of the generator brake (coasting)

– Release the controller (8) - controller in home position (“0”).


Depending on the setting, the truck is braked by the generator braked, coasting to a
stop.

A The degree of speed reduction can be set by the manufacturer service.

m When the service personnel has switched off the coast-down brake, only the service
and/or the counter-current brake can be used.

5 Picking up and setting down loads

f Before picking up a load, the driver has to make sure that it is correctly palletised and
that the capacity of the truck is not exceeded.
Do not grab into the hoist frame during lifting and lowering.

– Pass the fork tines as far as possible under the load. Picking up long loads cross-
wise is not permitted.

m Pick up the load, ensuring that it does not project excessively from the tips of the lifting
device (less than 50 mm).

A In the case of the double-lift dual mast (ZZ) and the double-lift triple mast (DZ), the
initial lift of the load carriage (free lift), without any changes to the design height, is
provided by a short, centrally arranged free-lift cylinder.

Small button adjustment range = slow lifting / lowering


Large button adjustment range = fast lifting / lowering

– Avoid any abrupt lowering of the load unit.

Safety switching height


For lifting starting at approx. 1.8 m:

– Lifting stop depends on the safety frame setting


(refer to switching matrix / safety switching height).
– “Locking” the support roller (the lifting hydraulics acts on the support roller cylinder
with a noticeable alignment of the truck).
– Travel speed reduction above the safety switching height.
– Lowering the wheel-arm lift above the safety switching height.

F Maintenance of the fork lift truck
1 Operational safety and environmental protection

The checks and servicing operations contained in this chapter must be performed in
accordance with the intervals as indicated in the servicing checklists.

f Modifications of fork lift truck assemblies, especially of the safety installations, are not
permitted. On no account must the operational speeds of the truck be changed.

m Only original spare parts have been certified by our quality assurance service. To en-
sure safe and reliable operation of the fork lift truck, only spare parts of the manufac-
turer must be used. Used parts, oils and fuels must be disposed of in accordance with
the applicable environmental protection regulations. For oil changes, the oil service
of the manufacturer is available to you.

Upon completion of any checking and servicing activities, the operations contained in
the section “Recommissioning” must be performed (refer to chapter F).

2 Safety regulations applicable to truck maintenance

Servicing and maintenance personnel: The fork lift truck must only be serviced and
maintained by trained personnel of the manufacturer. The service organization of the
manufacturer has external technicians trained especially for these assignments. We
thus recommend signing a maintenance contract with the relevant service location of
the manufacturer.

Lifting and jacking up: When a fork lift truck is to be lifted, the lifting gear must only
be secured to the points specially provided for this purpose. When the truck is to be
jacked up, suitable measures must be taken to prevent the truck from slipping or tip-
ping over (use of wedges, wooden blocks). Work underneath the raised load lifting
device must only be carried out when the fork is immobilised and supported by a
chain of adequate strength.

Cleaning operations: No inflammable liquids must be used when cleaning the fork
lift truck. Prior to commencing cleaning operations, all safety measures that are re-
quired to prevent sparking (e.g. by short-circuits) have to be taken. For battery-ope-
rated fork lift trucks, the battery plug must be removed. Only weak indraft, weak com-
pressed air and non-conducting, antistatic brushes must be used for the cleaning of
electric or electronic assemblies.

m If the fork lift truck is to be cleaned using a water jet or a high-pressure cleaner, all
electric and electronic components must be carefully covered beforehand because
moisture can lead to incorrect functioning.
Cleaning by means of a steam jet is not permitted.

Upon completion of cleaning work, the operations detailed in the section “Recommis-
sioning” must be performed.
1001.GB

F1

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


Work on the electric system: Work on the electric system of the truck must only be
performed by personnel specially trained for such operations. Before commencing
any work on the electric system, all measures required to prevent electric shocks
have to be taken. For battery-operated fork lift trucks, the truck must also be depowe-
red by removing the battery plug.
Welding operations: To prevent any damage to electric or electronic components,
these have to be removed from the fork lift truck before any welding operations are
undertaken.
Settings: When repairing or replacing hydraulic, electric or electronic components or
assemblies, all truck-specific settings have to be retained.

Tyres: The quality of the tyres greatly affects the stability and the driving behaviour
of the fork-lift truck. The factory-mounted tyres must only be replaced by original spa-
re parts of the manufacturer, since otherwise the specification of the data sheet
cannot be met. When replacing wheels or tyres, it must be ensured that the fork-lift
truck remains level (tyres and wheels must always be replaced in pairs, i.e. left and
right together).
Lift chains: The lift chains wear rapidly if not lubricated. The intervals in the service
checklist apply to normal duty. If requirements are higher (dust, temperature), lubri-
cation is required more often. The specified chain spray must be used as specified.
The external application of grease does not provide sufficient lubrication.

Hydraulic hoses: The hoses must be renewed every six years. When replacing hy-
draulic components, also renew the hoses in this hydraulic system.

3 Servicing and inspection

Thorough and expert servicing is one of the most important preconditions for safe
operation of the fork lift truck. The neglect of regular servicing intervals can lead to
fork lift truck failure and constitutes a potential hazard to personnel and equipment.

m The indicated servicing intervals are based on single-shift operation under normal
operating conditions. For applications in dusty environments, or involving large tem-
perature fluctuations or multiple-shift operation, the servicing intervals must be shor-
tened accordingly.

The following servicing checklist indicates the operations to be performed and the re-
spective intervals to be observed. The servicing intervals are defined as follows:
W1 = every 50 operating hours, but at least once per week
M3 = every 500 operating hours, but at least every 3 months
M6 = every 1000 operating hours, but at least every 6 months
M12 = every 2000 operating hours, but at least every 12 months

A The W1 maintenance intervals must be carried out by the operator / customer.

In the running-in phase of the truck, the following additional operations have to be car-
ried out:

After the first 50 - 100 hours of operation, at least after 2 months:


– Tighten pole screws of battery and check condition of the cell connectors.
– Perform visual inspection of the electronic and mechanic components.
– Check lift chains for equal tension.
– Check arresting and limitation of the fork tines.
– Check transmission for leakages.
– Check screw connections and mechanical safety retentions for tight fit.
– Check the wheel nuts for security and retighten, if required.
– Change all hydraulic oil filters.
– Check the hydraulic connections for leakages and retighten, if required.
– Check glide pieces at mast and adjust, if necessary.

work is permitted only after the following operations have been performed:

– Check the horn for proper functioning.


– Check the master switch for correct functioning.
– Check the brake for correct functioning.
– Lubricate truck according to lubrication schedule.
– Refer to chapter “Starting up the truck”.

7 Decommissioning the fork lift truck

If the fork lift truck is to be decommissioned for more than two months, it must be par-
ked in a frost-free and dry location and all measures to be taken before, during and
following decommissioning must be performed as detailed below.

m During decommissioning, the fork lift truck must be jacked up, ensuring that the
wheels are clear of the ground. Only this measure will ensure that wheels and wheel
bearings do not suffer damage.

If the fork lift truck is to be decommissioned for more than 6 months, additional mea-
sures must be discussed with the Service Department of the manufacturer.

7.1 Operations to be performed prior to decommissioning

– Thoroughly clean the fork lift truck.


– Check the brakes for correct function.
– Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if required (refer to chapter F).
– Apply a thin film of oil or grease to all parts not protected by a paint coating.
– Grease the fork lift truck as detailed in the lubrication chart (refer to chapter F).
– Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D).
– Disconnect and clean the battery. Apply pole grease to the battery poles.

A In addition to this, all instructions given by the battery supplier must be observed.

– Spray all exposed electrical contacts with a suitable contact spray.

7.2 Measures to be taken during decommissioning

Every 2 months:

– Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D).

m Battery-operated fork lift trucks:


Regular recharging of the battery is very important; otherwise, exhaustive depletion
of the battery caused by self-discharging would occur. Owing to sulfatisation, this will
result in the destruction of the battery.
1001.GB

F 11

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


7.3 Recommissioning the truck

– Thoroughly clean the fork lift truck.


– Lubricate the fork lift truck according to the lubrication chart (refer to chapter F).
– Clean the battery. Grease the pole screws using pole grease and reconnect the
battery.
– Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D).
– Check if the gear oil contains condensed water and change if required.
– Check if the hydraulic oil contains condensed water and change if required.
– Start up the fork lift truck (refer to chapter E).

A Battery-operated fork lift trucks:


If switching troubles are experienced in the electric system, spray the exposed con-
tacts with contact spray and remove any oxide layer on the contacts of the operating
controls by repeated operation.

f Perform several brake tests immediately after recommissioning the truck.

8 Safety checks to be performed at regular intervals and following any untoward


incidents (D: Accident prevention check according to VBG 36)

At least once yearly, or after any untoward incident, the fork lift truck has to be chek-
ked by a qualified inspector. The inspector must assess the condition of the truck from
a standpoint purely concerned with safety aspects, uninfluenced by any company or
economic circumstances. The inspector must be adequately informed and experi-
enced to be able to assess the condition of the fork lift truck and the effectiveness of
the safety installations based on the technical rules and principles governing the in-
spection of fork lift trucks.
The inspection must comprise a comprehensive check of the technical condition of
the fork lift truck with regard to accident prevention aspects. Apart from this, the fork
lift truck must be thoroughly inspected for damage possibly caused by incorrect use
of the fork lift truck. The inspection results must be recorded in an inspection report
which must be kept available for a period spanning at least the next two inspection
intervals.

The user has to ensure that all defects are eliminated without delay.

A The manufacturer has set up a special safety service with specially qualified staff. As
visual proof that the fork lift truck has passed the safety inspection, a plaque is affixed
to it. This plaque indicates in which month of which year the next test will be due.
