Battery Safety

Battery Safety Wear personal protective equipment to protect


eyes, face, and skin when checking, handling,
or filling batteries. This equipment includes
goggles or face shield, rubber gloves (with or
without arm shields), and a rubber apron.

As a battery is being charged, an


explosive gas mixture forms within and
around each cell. If the area is not
correctly ventilated, this explosive gas
can remain in or around the battery for
several hours after charging. Make sure
there are no open flames or sparks in
the charging area. An open flame or
spark can ignite this gas, resulting in
serious damage or injury. Make sure a shower and eyewash station are
nearby in case of an accident.
Battery electrolyte is a solution of
sulfuric acid and water. Battery
electrolyte causes burns. If any
electrolyte comes in contact with your
clothing or skin, flush the area
immediately with cold water. If the
solution gets on your face or in your
eyes, flush the area with cold water and
get medical help immediately.

Read, understand, and follow procedures, A battery gives off explosive gases. Never

Keep batteries clean. Corrosion causes shorts


to the frame and possibly sparks.

Do not allow cleaning solution, dirt, or any


foreign matter to enter the cells.

Battery Safety

Make sure you install the correct size battery. A


smaller or lighter weight battery could seriously
affect lift truck stability. See the lift truck’s
specification plate for more information.

Never plug a battery charger into the lift truck’s


battery connector. Plug the battery charger only
into the battery connector from the battery.

components, follow these precautions:
• Wear an ESD wrist strap. The wrist strap
should be equipped with a 1 megohm
resistor to dissipate static charges slowly.
• Test the wrist strap and related
accessories before each use to make sure
they are working correctly.
• Connect the wrist strap plug to the ground
jack on the lift truck. See Figure 2-1. If
you cannot use the ground jack, connect
the ground clip to an unpainted, grounded
surface on the lift truck frame. Wrist straps (P/N 1-187-058/001) are also
available separately.

Contactor Tip Inspection

Contactor Tip Inspection


When inspecting contactor tips, follow these
guidelines:
• Darkened points do not indicate burning.
• Burning indicates a loss of contact point
material.
• Replace the contact points if there is not
enough contact point material to last until
the next regular inspection or severe
pitting is evident. See Figure 4-1.
• The silver alloy part of the point is usable
contact material; the copper backing is
not.
• Do not file contact points to remove
discoloration or minor irregularities. This
practice produces a surface more
susceptible to sticking.
• If a cone and crater appear, replace the
tips.

AC Motors
AC motors used on this lift truck are brushless,
3-phase, internally delta-connected, variable
speed motors.

The AC motor has a rotor (in place of the DC


armature) and a stator (in place of the DC field).
There is no electrical connection to the rotor;
current is induced in the rotor. The stator has
three windings staggered 120° apart, and three
external connections labeled U, V, and W. See
Figure 5-6.

Figure 5-6. AC Motor Circuitry

AC

V W

Open Winding

If the AC motor fails with an open winding, the


motor moves erratically, as if
hunting/searching, and there is a ticking
sound. Rotation is much slower than usual.

Use a clamping ammeter to measure current in


each of the motor power cables. The open phase
will read significantly lower than the other two
phases.

Shorted Winding

If the AC motor fails with a shorted winding, the


motor moves erratically, as if
hunting/searching, and there is a high-pitched
sound.

Use a clamping ammeter to measure current in


each of the motor power cables. The shorted
phase will read significantly higher than the
other two phases.

Power Amp LED Diagnostics

Power Amp LED


Diagnostics
Most error conditions are displayed as a
message or fault code.

The power amps also contain a Light Emitting


Diode (LED) status indicator, which provides
basic diagnostic information.
• When the LED is illuminated (steady or
blinking), the amplifier is receiving power.
• A steady LED indicates the amplifier is
operating normally.
• A blinking LED indicates a malfunction.

Power amp blink codes consist of a red LED


flash followed by a number of quick orange LED
flashes. The 2-digit code flashed by the yellow
LED identifies the specific fault code; one or two
flashes by the red LED indicate whether the
first or second digit of the code will follow.

Specific codes:
• Code 12: Motor phase detected shorted.
• Code 37: Motor phase detected open.
• Code 72: Amp has not received CAN
messages from the VM.

Turn the steering wheel all the way in one
direction until the drive unit is against the
mechanical stop. Record the steering degrees
displayed. Turn the steering wheel all the way
in the opposite direction against the mechanical
stop. Compare this reading to the reading from
the opposite side.

Both sides should be approx. 10°.

If worn radial rings are suspected as the cause


of play in the drive unit, perform the following
steps to determine if the rings should be
replaced.

Use extreme caution whenever the lift


truck is jacked up. Never block the lift
truck between the telescopic and the
floor. Use a suitable hoist to stabilize the
mast. Keep hands and feet clear from
vehicle while jacking the lift truck. After
the lift truck is jacked, place solid blocks
or jack stands beneath it to support it.
DO NOT rely on the jack alone to
support the lift truck. See “Jacking
Safety” on page 2-9.

1. Jack the rear of the truck up until the


drive tire is clear of the floor.
2. Place a magnetic base dial indicator on the
tractor bumper. Place the indicator pin on
top of the ring gear. See Figure 7-47.
NOTE: When positioning the indicator, try to
align it with a feature on the truck (such
as a grease fitting). This helps maintain
consistent results between trucks. Drive Unit Removal

Section 8. Theory of Operation Models 7500/7520 Reach-Fork ® Trucks

Electric Brake Operation

Electric Brake Operation


Overview
This truck uses an electric brake. With the
brake coil de-energized, the brake is in a
“normally applied” state due to spring pressure.
With the brake coil energized, the brake is held
in a released state due to magnetic force.

Brake Release
When the deadman pedal is pressed, the brake
coil is energized. The current flow creates a
magnetic field that draws the armature plate
against the coil body, compressing the brake
coil springs. The carrier and pads, attached to
the Traction Motor shaft, are free to rotate.

Brake Application
If the lift truck is traveling when the deadman
pedal is released, the VM causes the lift truck to
plug to a stop. When the VM senses the lift
truck has stopped, it de-energizes the brake
coil. The magnetic field holding the brake
released now collapses. The springs in the
brake coil push the armature plate down on the
top of the carrier and pads. The brake pads
pressed between the armature plate and the
adapter plate prevent the Traction Motor shaft
from rotating.

Brake Release Screws


Two brake release screws are stored near the
brake coil body. These screws are used when
unpowered travel (towing) is necessary or when
disassembling the brake itself. The brake
release bolts are threaded into the armature
plate. The screws pull the armature plate up,
overcoming the spring pressure.

Cold Storage

Cold Storage
On trucks with the Cold Storage option, the VM
looks at the Ambient Temperature Sensor
mounted on the overhead guard. If the
temperature indicates the truck is parked
inside the freezer, the VM does not turn off the
RELAY_ENABLE circuit when the key switch is
opened. When the key switch is turned OFF,
K1, K2, and K3 all open because they are
powered from the key switch. The K4 coil and
tips receive power directly from the battery
through FU5. When the tips are closed, K4
supplies B+ to internal circuitry of the VM. This
is only used on trucks equipped with the Cold
Storage option. The VM uses the input from the
K4 tips to keep its circuitry powered up. This is
done so the VM can keep the circuitry activated
for the control handle heater. The display is
shut down and no other functions are operable
until the key is turned ON and the truck is
powered up.

On Regen Lower trucks equipped with the Cold


Storage option, cooling fans are powered on
below 51°F (10.5°C).
