Vehicle Description
The Aisle-Master is a narrow aisle type lift truck.
The principle of this type of truck is that the
weight of the load, which is carried on the forks
in front of the load wheels, is offset by the
combined weight of the heavy truck chassis.

Model Description
Principle of Operation
The battery supplies power for the traction motor, the hydraulic pump motor and the control panel
and instruments. The motors are controlled by an electronic control system.
Forward or reverse travel may be selected by a direction control lever mounted to the right of the
driver on the front of the control pod.
A brake pedal applies the hydraulic service brakes at the rear wheels. The parking brake is
applied by a lever situated to the right of the driver.
The truck is equipped with a digital display console that includes a battery discharge indicator, an
hour meter and a number of other indicators.
Key Switch
The key switch (item 2) [6] has 2 positions "OFF" and "ON". Insert the key and turn clockwise to
the "ON" position.
Battery Plug
The battery plug (item 2) [7], is wired to the battery. When connected to the truck plug (item 1) [7],
it enables power to flow to the trucks electrics. The battery plug is also used to connect the battery
to the charger for recharging.
Truck Plug
The truck plug (item 1) [7] is situated at the rear of the truck and is connected to the trucks
electrical system. Lift the rear bonnet to gain access to the truck plug.
Display Console
The display console [8] displays a number of warning and indicator symbols including the hour
meter, travel speed and direction etc. It also allows control over the operation of certain functions
such as the lights and auxiliary mast functions.
Isolator Switch
The isolator switch is used to disconnect the battery in the event of an emergency. In the unlikely
event of an electrical failure that causes the vehicle to go out of control, push this button (item 3)
[7], to immobilise the vehicle.

Operator Safety
Before commencing use of the Aisle-Master
forklift operators must become familiar with its
capabilities and thoroughly read and understand

The following steps outline the proper
procedure to be followed when retrieving a
load.
Warning
If the forks or load jam or catch during

2. Hold on to the steering wheel [21]. Follow these rules when turning with a load to
help prevent the truck from tipping:
Slow down. Your Aisle-Master forklift can
tip over if you turn at high speed.
Sound the horn as you reach an
intersection to warn pedestrians and other
equipment operators you are
approaching.
Always follow the rules of the road and

axis.

Mast Bearings
The bearings on the mast do not require periodic
greasing.
The mast bearing wear pads must be adjusted
every 500 hours. 8

Another possible cause of breakage is the

loads with a very large load centre e.g.

There are 2 grease points on the front steering slew ring that must be greased every 500 hours.
The following procedure describes how to grease the steering grease points.
Park in a suitable area ensuring that you have enough room to turn the mast to 90°.
Turn the steering wheel left or right until the mast is turned to at least 90° as shown.

To be performed after every 500 hours of truck operation in addition to the required pre-use inspection.
A magnetic “key” is required to initiate the set up procedure. This must be held in position on
the front panel, just above the TEST button.
PROCEDURE:
1. Place the vehicle in the 0% calibration position, i.e. vehicle level, park brake on, steering
straight ahead, forks lowered but not resting on the ground, and no load on the forks.
2. Leave the ignition turned on as normal.
3. Press and hold the TEST button. The display will show all LEDs flashing and the sounder on.
Keep holding the TEST button and place the magnet in position on the front panel at the top
right hand corner of the test switch. The correct position is indicated when the sounder stops
and all the LEDs stay on, fully lit. KEEP HOLDING THE TEST BUTTON AND MAGNET IN
PLACE for a period until the display changes again to show the red LED only lit. This indicates
that the system is now in calibration mode, and waiting for the first reference point. Release
the button and remove the calibration magnet. (If the button or key is released too early the
display will revert back to normal operation.) Short intermittent beeps will then be emitted to
indicate the system is waiting for an input.
4. Check that the vehicle is still positioned correctly for the 0% reference, and press the TEST
button ONCE. The system will give a single, short beep indicating that the 0% point is set. The
display will change to show one red LED and one amber LED (and continuing intermittent
beeps), indicating that the system is ready and waiting for the 100% reference. (NOTE - if a
long beep is emitted from the sounder during calibration, this indicates a fault condition - see
below).
5. With the vehicle level, and the park brake on, pick up the calibrated 100% load and LIFT to a
height of 1 metre (39 inches).
6. When in position press the TEST button ONCE to set the 100% reference. The display will
again give a single beep to confirm that it is set.
7. The display should now change back to normal operation, and show 100%, i.e. all green and
amber LEDs lit and flashing.
8. System calibration has now been completed. No further action is required.
NOTES:
1. The system allows five minutes for each part of the calibration procedure to be completed.
During these times the system will emit a short beep every five seconds to remind the operator
that it is in calibration mode.
2. If a part of the calibration procedure is not completed within the five minutes allowed the
system will automatically revert to normal operation with the previous calibration settings.
3. If the ignition is switched off during calibration the system will automatically revert to the
previous calibration settings.
It may be the case that after a certain ‘run in’ period the pressure switch needs to be adjusted
to keep the pump motor running at the correct speeds for the steering and fork functions. The
following procedure describes how the pressure switch should be adjusted.
1. Remove the armrest panel (item 1) [1] to gain access to the pressure switch (item 2) [1].
2. Remove the rubber boot (item 3) [1] from the pressure switch (item 2) [1].

3. Adjust the pressure switch setting by turning the setting screw (item 1) [2] using a flat head

4. If the truck will not go in to high speed, i.e. the hydraulic functions are operating slowly turn the
screw anticlockwise. Test by using the lift function with no load on the forks. Keep turning the
screw anticlockwise until the lift speed changes to high speed.
5. If the truck is always running in high speed turn the screw clockwise until it goes to low speed
or steering speed, this will be noticeable when steering the truck. Keep turning the screw
clockwise and turning the steering until the steering goes into low speed.

Appendix C (Diagnostics)
This section of your Aisle-Master Forklift Operator’s & Service
Manual describes how to diagnose and remedy faults on the
trucks electrical controllers.
Diagnostics
The 1313/1314 programmer will display all faults that are currently set as well
as a history of the faults that have been set since the history log was last
cleared. The programmer displays the faults by name.
The pair of LEDs built into the controller (one red, one yellow) produce flash
codes displaying all the currently set faults in a repeating cycle. Each code
consists of two digits. The red LED flashes once to indicate that the first digit
of the code will follow; the yellow LED then flashes the appropriate number of
times for the first digit. The red LED flashes twice to indicate that the second
digit of the code will follow; the yellow LED flashes the appropriate number of
times for the second digit.
The numerical codes used by the yellow LED are listed in the troubleshooting
chart (Table 6.2), which also lists possible fault causes and describes the
conditions that set and clear each fault.
The two LEDs have four different display modes, indicating the type of
information they are providing.
DISPLAY STATUS
Yellow and red LEDs both on solid Controller is in Flash program mode.
Red LED and yellow LED flashing Controller has detected a fault.
alternately 2-digit code flashed by yellow LED
identifies the specific fault; one or two
flashes by red LED indicate whether
