5
Setting up a new truck
In order to follow the industry related regulations and ensure the absolute security to the truck in
the transportation, a new lift truck may arrive onsite with no electrolyte in the battery.
The electrolyte of storage battery is prepared before the truck leave the factory, and must be
poured into the storage battery by the professional personnel before the first use.
1. Place the truck to the site with good ventilation.
2. Open the lid of storage battery box.
3. Open all the top plastic lids of storage battery.
4. Use a plastic funnel and pour electrolyte into storage battery slowly and carefully.
5. Add electrolyte until it can be seen through the fill ports in the plastic lids of storage battery.
6. After all the storage battery is filled, conduct initial charge.

Initial charge
There are some special tasks that must be completed when charging a new battery for the first
time.
The initial charging and supplementary charging of the battery group must be conducted strictly
according to the regulations stipulated in the battery specification manual.
1. Clean up the surface of the battery before the initial charge, and then check for damage to
ensure reliable connection.
2. Open gas cap.
3. When the charging equipment is able to operate normally, pour the sulfuric acid electrolyte
with a density of 1.260±0.005 (25℃) at a temperature below 30℃ (86°F) into the batteries.
The electrolyte level should be 15-25mm (.5-1 in) higher than the protective board. In order
to reduce the temperature rise caused by chemical reaction of the electrolyte and to let the
electrolyte fully penetrate into the pores of the polar plates and the baffles, let the batteries
sit still for 3-4 hours but not exceeding 8 hours. The initial charging can only be conducted
when the electrolyte temperature reduces to below 35℃ (95°F). When necessary, the
batteries can be put into cold water for temperature reduction. After this cooling period, if
the electrolyte level reduces, electrolyte should be added.
4. The sulfuric acid electrolyte is prepared with battery sulfuric acid complying with the state
standard GB4554-84 and distilled water. Never use industrial sulfuric acid and running water.
The standard temperature of 25℃ (77°F) and density of the electrolytic solution can be
converted as follows:
D25 = Dt+ 0.0007 (t-25)
Where: D25: the density of the electrolytic solution at 25℃ (77°F)
Dt: the actual density of the electrolytic solution at t ℃.
t: temperature of the electrolytic solution when testing the density.
5. Dry up the electrolyte spilled on the surface of battery.
6. Connect the positive and negative poles of batteries with those of the charger and then turn
on the charger power. Charge with the current of 30A (the current of the first stage). After
the charge voltage achieves 28.8V (12×2.4V=28.8V), switch to the 15A current of the
second stage. When charging, the temperature of electrolyte shall never exceed 45℃
(113°F). When the temperature raising up nearly to 45℃ (113°F), reduce the current by half

6
or stop charging temporarily. After the electrolyte temperature reduce below 35℃ (95°F),
continue charging. The charge time needs to be extended in this case.
7. Fully charged basis: When the voltage during the second stage charging reaches 31.2V (12
×2.6V = 31.2V), the variation of the voltage is no greater than 0.005 (V). The density of the
electrolytic solution reaches 1.280 ±0.005 (25℃). If there are no apparent density changes
in 2 hours and fine air bubbles appear violently, it can be deemed that the batteries are fully
charged. The charged power capacity is 4-5 times of the rated capacity and the charging
time is about 70 hours
8. In order to accurately control the sulfuric acid content of the electrolytic solution, the
electrolytic solution density of the batteries should be examined during the last period of
charging. If needed, adjust with distilled water or sulfuric acid with a density of 1.40. The
electrolytic solution density and the liquid surface should be adjusted to the stipulated value
within two hours in the charging state.
9. After the initial charging is completed, the surface of the batteries should be cleaned. Close
the gas cap and then the batteries can be used.

Battery use and maintenance


In order to guarantee the service life of the batteries, the batteries in use should be fully charged.
Insufficiently charged batteries must not be used. During the process of use, close attention should
be paid to the discharge extent. Over-discharge is prohibited; do not continue to use the battery if
the voltage reduces to 1.7V per cell (when the total voltage reduces to 1.7V×12 = 20.4V ). When
the density of the electrolytic solution reduces to 1.17, discharging should be stopped and charging
should be conducted at once. The batteries should not be placed idle for a long period of time.

Common charge
Common charge describes charging of batteries during normal working conditions. The first stage
current of common charge is 30A and that of the second stage is 15A. The charging method is the
same as that of initial charge. The charged volume is 130-140 % of the discharged volume and the
charging time is about 12 hours.

Balancing charge
Do not over-charge batteries in normal use, but conduct a balancing charge as described below
when required.
1. “Lag-behind” cells: Cells with a voltage lower than that of the other batteries in the
discharging process, and cells having been repaired for failure may require a balancing
charge.
2. When balance charge is conducted, the positive and negative poles of the “lag-behind” cells
should be connected with the positive and negative ends of the charger (the DC power
supply) and the charge should be conducted independently.
3. Balancing charge should be conducted for the batteries in normal use every 2-3 months.
4. Balancing charge should be conducted for the batteries that have not been used for a long
period of time before use.

7
Equalizing charge
1. Charge with a 4A current.
2. When the charge voltage reaches 31.2V (12 ×2.6V = 31.2V) and air bubbles occur in the
electrolyte, the current should be reduced by 50% (2A) and continue to charge.
3. When the batteries are fully charged, stop charging for 0.5 hour and charge again with a 1A
current for one more hour.
4. Stop charging for another 0.5 hour and charge with a 1A current for another one hour.
5. Repeat step 4 until air bubbles occur violently in the batteries when the charger is switched
on.

Battery storage
The storage battery shall be kept in clean, dry and ventilated warehouse within the temperature
range of 5 to 40℃ (41 to 104°F). The valid storage period is 2 years. Safekeeping shall be made
within storage period according to the following requirements:
 Avoid direct sunlight. The distance from heat source shall not less than 2m (6.5 ft).
 Avoid contact with any harmful substance. No metal impurity shall fall inside the battery.
 No inversion, mechanical collision, or heavy weight on top of the battery is permitted.
 Storage with electrolyte is forbidden. Under special cases that the storage with electrolyte is
necessary, the density and solution level of electrolyte shall be adjusted to the specified
value.
 Every month, perform a common charge.

Maintenance of electrolyte
Density check
The suction-type densimeter shall be used to check density. During operation, avoid spilling out the
electrolyte, and wear protective gear.

Operation besides check


Consult professional personnel (a service technician), especially when complementing electrolyte
(dilute sulfuric acid).

Electrolyte leakage
As for the electrolyte leakage resulting from storage battery tilting and damage, emergency
treatment shall be made at once. See Emergency treatment.

Operation of storage batteries during the final stage of their


lifetime
When the lifetime of storage battery is about to terminate, the electrolyte in single battery reduces
very fast. If electrolyte has to be added very often, even every day, the battery is at the end of its
useful life.

8
Treatment of waste battery
As for the waste battery, draw out the electrolyte. Recycle the battery as recommended by the
battery manufacturer. The waste electrolyte can be disposed according to relevant local rules and
regulations.

Emergency treatment
1. If the electrolyte spills on skin, wash with large amount of water
2. If the electrolyte spills into eyes, wash with large amount of water, and then seek help from
specialized doctor.
3. If the electrolyte spills on clothes, take off clothes right away, wash with water, and then
flush with weak basic soap solution.
4. If the electrolyte spills or leaks from the battery neutralize it with lime or strong carbonic
acid, and then flush with large amount of water.

Charger
If the charger you use is full automatic type, it must meet the following 2 requirements:
 The output voltage of charger: 24V
 The output current of charger: 20-30A
If the charger you use is semi-automatic or manually adjustable, please charge the battery pack
according to the requirements of use and maintenance in Battery use and maintenance.

Daily inspection
1. Check that all the connecting points and plugs of the electric system are in good condition.

Driving system
Principles of operation
The running of the tractor relies on the storage battery as its power source and the DC motor as its
driving force to drive the truck through the two-speed transmission. The travel direction (forward or
backward) is achieved through changing the rotation direction of the driving motor. When the truck
turns , this driving axle controls the rotating speed of the right and left drive wheels by symmetrical
taper planetary gear differential to achieve the coordinated turning of the two wheels so as to meet
the requirements of driving kinematics.

Drive axle description
Motor 3KW (item 28) is connected to gear box housing (item 31) through motor flange (item 29)
with bolts.
The male spline at the output shaft of motor is linked to male spline at gear 17 (item 36) shaft
through female spline of coupling band (item 32).
When motor 3KW (item 28) turns, it rotates gear 17 (item 36). Gear 17 (item 36) and gear 46 (item
42) makes up high speed gear transmission. Gear 46 (item 42) is connected to gear 18 (item 41)
shaft through flat keys.
When the gear 17 (item 36) shaft turns, it rotates gear 46 (item 42) through small gears. Because
gear 46 (item 42) is connected to gear 18 (item 41) shaft by a flat key, when the gear 46 (item 42)
rotates, it rotates gear 18 (item 41) shaft to achieve the first deceleration of the high speed gear
transmission.
The small gears at gear 18 (item 41) shaft and gear 83 (item 18) make up the second gear
transmission. Because the gear 83 (item 18) is connected together with differential 462 (item 15)
through bolts, the gear 18 (item 41) shaft turns, it rotates gear 83 (item 18) through small gear.
Because gear 83 (item 18) is connected to differential housing (item 15) through bolts, it rotates
differential 462 (item 15) when gear 83 (item 18) turns to achieve the second gear deceleration.
The rotation of gear 83 (item 18) passes to wheels through differential 462 (item 15), the minor
semi-axis (item 12) and the major semi-axis (item 23). Differential 462 (item 15) is connected to the
semi-axis through splines, while the semi-axis is linked to brake drum (item 4) with bolts. When
gear 83 (item 18) turns with differential 462 (item 15), it rotates the semi-axis and brake drum
(item 4). The wheel (item 1) is connected to brake drum (item 4) through wheel bolts (item 2) so as
to realize the rotation of wheel.
The differential 462 (item 15) of the driving axle is the symmetrical taper planetary differential. The
differential is installed on the reduction gearbox through the bearings on the two ends. The
differential housing is divided into the right and left parts and has two differential gears and four
planetary gears.
The drive axle includes reduction gearbox and two shaft tubes which are connected through flange.
The hub brake drum at the wheel is supported by two tapered roller bearings on the axle. The
power is transmitted onto the half shaft through differential. The hub brake drum is driven by the
half shaft and takes the rotation of driving wheel. The half shaft only bears the torque transmitted
to the hub. There is an oil seal inside the hub to prevent water and dust entering or oil leakage.
This drive axle is installed with double shoe brake at two sides of the wheel.
The wheel brake is a double shoe brake which is composed of two groups of brake shoes with
friction plate, brake branch pump, clearance adjuster assembly, hand brake pull rod, spring, base
plate and other components. When the brake oil flows into the brake branch pump, the push rods
on two sides open the brake shoe with equal pressure to press the friction plate of the brake shoe
onto the brake drum so that the brake drum stops rotation. Because the brake drum and wheel shell
are fixed together, wheel braking is realized when the wheel stops running.

Installation, adjustment, and maintenance
Installation
 The drive axle has the functions of driving the truck as well as supporting weight of the
truck. The drive axle and truck body are fixed together with bolts.

1 Chassis 3 Washer
2 Screw 4 Drive axle

Adjustment of bearing clearance on transmission shaft


 Bearing glands (item 38) are installed at the ends of gear 17 (item 36) shaft and gear 18
(item 41) shaft which are mounted with end cap (item 43) and which are used to press the
bearing gland. Two adjusting screws are mounted at the end cap against bearing gland
(item 38). Axial internal clearance of deep groove ball bearings is adjusted through adjusting
the tightness of the adjusting screws. After the axial internal clearance is adjusted, fix the
screws with locknuts.
 When the taper roller bearings at the driving axle wheel wear out, the axial internal
clearance becomes large and the truck wheel will swing. Then the axial internal clearance
can be eliminated through adjusting the nut (item 5) to make the internal ring of tapered
roller bearing contact with rollers.

Maintenance
 When driving the truck, try to avoid pits and depressions on the road surface as far as
possible, and also try to avoid sharp objects stabbing the tires.
 Conduct regular checks for tightness of wheel nuts. If they are not tight, screw them down.
 Check if the wheel brake is in proper working condition and if not, adjust it or repair.

Steering system
Principles of operation
The steering system consists of the steering device, transmission gear device, front wheel and other
components.
The steering device consists of the steering wheel, steering column assembly, universal joints and
other components. Its role is to control the tractor driving direction.
The transmission gear device consists of large gears, pinions, bearings, slewing bracket, bolts and
other components. Its role is to reduce the steering force.

The steering wheel not only has the function of steering, but also supports the weight of the truck.
The steering of the wheel slows down through the two-stage gear transmission, which increases the
steering torque to the steering wheel to achieve the steering of the truck.

Service brake description
When braking, step on brake pedal (item 1) to make the brake pedal rotate around pin (item 4).
The sway arm together with the brake pedal will turn together.
The rod pushes on the brake pump (item 6) and the sway arm on the brake pedal is connected
together with pin (part 8). The push rod passes the pressure to the piston in the brake pump. The
piston passes the pressure to the brake oil which is fed into brake pump from brake oil reservoir.
The brake pedal changes the mechanical force into brake oil pressure through the push rod and
brake general. The pressurized oil is transmitted to the cylinder on each side of the wheel through
the two outlets on the brake pump so that the brake pump presses the brake shoe with friction pad
presses on the brake drum to actuate the brake. When brake is released, the tension spring (item 2)
will make the brake pedal and push rod on brake pump return to position.

Park brake description


The electromagnetic brake is used as a park brake, to prevent movement of the truck when parked.

Brake maintenance
Every day before driving, check if the braking system stops the truck as expected and the return
spring on the foot pedal assembly returns the brake to neutral position. If the brake does not stop
the truck properly or if the foot pedal does not return to position, they must be adjusted.
It is also necessary to check these items:
 Connection of the hand brake lever and brake hoop at the driving motor
 Tightness of rivets and other hardware of brake components
 Flexibility of hand brake lever protection sleeve and steel wire rope
 Smooth movement of the foot pedal
 Park brake hold
Only operate the truck when the brake system is in good working condition.

Brake pedal adjustment


To adjust the position of brake pedal up or down, adjust the adjustment screw (item 9) while
moving the push rod.

Park brake adjustment


When the park brake is set, the struck should hold on a 6% slope without moving.
To adjust hand brake turn the adjusting screws on the electromagnetic brake, then adjust the
position of the cable. Pull out the cable to increase braking force.

41
Electrical system
Principles of operation
Start-up
The truck is energized when both the emergency power disconnect SA1 and the keyswitch are
turned on.

Travelling
 When the seat is occupied and the seat belt is work, seat switch T9 is energized.
 When the hand brake is released, the hand brake switch T10 is energized.
 When the directional switch is pushed forward, forward switch T22 is energized, or when the
direction switch is pulled back, reverse switch T33 is energized.
 When the accelerator pedal is pressed, a variable signal of 0-5V will be on T16. Lower
accelerator voltage means a slower traction speed, and higher accelerator voltage means a
faster traction speed.

Acousto-optic
 When the turn signal lever is pulled back, left steering switch 131 is energized with 12V
voltage and the left turn signal turns on.
 When the turn signal lever is pushed forward, the right steering switch 132 is energized
with 12V and the right turn signal turns on.
 When the width light switch 141 is turned on, the width light receives 12V power and turns
on.
 When the headlight switch 142 is turned on, the headlight receives 12V power and turns on.
 The headlight switch and width light are on at the same time.

Steering controller – power assist steering only


The steering controller 1222 (T13) is energized with 48V after the drive controller 1236E is
energized. The controller will adjust the position of the steer wheel back and forth to find the zero
position.
When the steering wheel is rotated, two sets AB-phase steering encoders output a square wave.
The high speed counter in the steering controller 1222 sends signal to the steer motor according to
the number of square waves.

Fault codes
Fault codes for traction controller 1236E
The traction controller detects a wide variety of faults or error conditions. Faults can be detected by
the operating system or by the VCL code.
Faults detected by VCL code (51-67) vary from application to application.

Diagnostics
Diagnostics information can be obtained in either of two ways.
If a 1313 handheld device or a 1314 PC Programmer is available, the fault log in these devices
displays faults that are currently set and faults that have been set since the fault log was last
cleared. Faults are displayed by name in these devices.
Without a handheld device or a PC Programmer, the fault codes are communicated by the status
LEDs on the controller itself.
The controller has one red LED and one yellow LED. The patterns of these LEDs communicate the
status of the controller (including a fault code number if there are faults present).
LED illumination Controller status
Neither LED is illuminated Controller is not powered on, battery is dead, or
truck is severely damaged
Yellow LED is flashing continuously Controller is operating normally
Yellow and red LEDs are both on and solid Controller is in programming mode
Red LED is on and solid No software is loaded to the controller or an
internal hardware fault is detected; cycle the
keyswitch, reload software, or replace the
controller to resolve
Red LED and yellow LED flash alternately in The controller has detected a fault; see Fault
different patterns code identification with LEDs

Fault code identification with LEDs


The red LED will flash once to indicate that the first digit of the code will follow, and the yellow LED
will then flash to indicate the value of that digit. Then, the red LED will flash twice to indicate the
second digit of the code will follow, and again the yellow LED flashes to indicate the value of that
digit.
For example, if the fault code 23 (B+ Battery Undervoltage Cutback) is set, the red LED will flash
once to indicate the first digit of the fault code is coming. Then, the yellow LED will flash twice to
indicate that the first digit of the fault code is 2. The red LED will then flash twice to indicate that
the second digit of the code is coming, and the yellow LED will flash three times to indicate the
second digit of the fault code is 3.

Troubleshooting chart – traction controller 1236E
Use this chart to identify fault names, potential causes, and conditions to set and clear the fault.
Before troubleshooting, cycle the keyswitch to see if the fault clears. If the fault does not clear, turn
off the keyswitch and disconnect the 35 pin connector from the controller, inspect the connector for
damage or corrosion, clean and replace if necessary, and reconnect. If the fault persists, use the
troubleshooting chart.

Fault codes for steer controller 1222 (power assist steering only)
The steer controller detects a wide variety of faults or error conditions. Faults can be detected by
the operating system or by the VCL code.

Diagnostics
Diagnostics information can be obtained in either of two ways.
If a 1313 handheld device is available, the fault log in these devices displays faults that are currently
set and faults that have been set since the fault log was last cleared. Faults are displayed by name
in these devices.
Without a handheld device, the fault codes are communicated by the status LEDs on the controller
itself.
The controller has one red LED and one yellow LED. The patterns of these LEDs communicate the
status of the controller (including a fault code number if there are faults present).
LED illumination Controller status
Neither LED is illuminated Controller is not powered on, battery is dead, or
truck is severely damaged
Yellow LED is flashing continuously Controller is operating normally
Yellow and red LEDs are both on and solid Controller is in programming mode
Red LED is on and solid No software is loaded to the controller or an
internal hardware fault is detected; cycle the
keyswitch, reload software, or replace the
controller to resolve
Red LED and yellow LED flash alternately in The controller has detected a fault; see Fault
different patterns code identification with LEDs

Fault code identification with LEDs


The red LED will flash once to indicate that the first digit of the code will follow, and the yellow LED
will then flash to indicate the value of that digit. Then, the red LED will flash twice to indicate the
second digit of the code will follow, and again the yellow LED flashes to indicate the value of that
digit.
For example, if the fault code 25 (5V Supply Failure) is set, the red LED will flash once to indicate
the first digit of the fault code is coming. Then, the yellow LED will flash twice to indicate that the
first digit of the fault code is 2. The red LED will then flash twice to indicate that the second digit of
the code is coming, and the yellow LED will flash five times to indicate the second digit of the fault
code is 5.

Troubleshooting chart – steer controller 1222 (power assist steering only)
Use this chart to identify fault names, potential causes, and conditions to set and clear the fault.
Before troubleshooting, cycle the keyswitch to see if the fault clears. If the fault does not clear, turn
off the keyswitch and disconnect the 35 pin connector from the controller, inspect the connector for
damage or corrosion, clean and replace if necessary, and reconnect. If the fault persists, use the
troubleshooting chart.
Unless indicated as a Warning in the Name column, all faults in this table cause the truck to shut
down.

Truck storage and transportation


Loading and unloading
Before loading the truck, check the nameplate for the total weight of truck to choose appropriate
hoisting handling equipment.
When hoisting the truck, connect the lifting gear to three points on the truck. Use the two lift points
under the front of the truck, one on each side, and the tow pin.

When hoisting the truck, keep it level and lower it slowly and carefully. The personnel around shall
watch for safety. Assign one person to guide the truck and watch for correct placement. If another
lift truck is used for loading and unloading, please watch the bottom of the truck. Take care to insert
the fork arms to the bottom, to avoid damaging the drive wheel, casters, and load wheels.

67
Transportation of truck
During transportation of the truck, please pay attention to the following items:
 Set the parking brake of the tractor.
 Fix the front wheel and rear driving axle with steel wire and block the front and back wheel.
Make sure that the tractor truck is tied down to the transport truck securely.
 During hoisting of the tractor, lift the tractor truck only according to the “hoisting marks” on
the covers.
 Trucks used to load and transport the tractor should not run too fast and should avoid sharp
turning and sudden braking to prevent damaging the tractor truck and avoid accidents.

Storing the truck


 Shut off the electric lock and unplug the battery.
 Set the parking brake of the tractor truck.
 Block the front and rear wheel.
 If the tractor truck is not used for a long time, place blocks under the truck so that the
wheels are suspended. Conduct complementary charge to the storage battery every month.
