TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The 334 series of electric counterbalance trucks is de-
signed for handling and stacking loads of up to 1 tonne
in various applications. The E 10 - 02 can be used to load
lorries as well as for bloom and slab yard and racking
applications. Due to its low height it can also be used in
containers.
The driver is protected by the solid truck chassis and a
rugged overhead guard.
The mast and overhead guard are welded to the chassis
into one supporting assembly.
The shape of the truck is conical and round toward the
traction end. This makes the truck very manoeuvrable
while protecting the load.
The truck can be turned very tightly. On account of its
manoeuvrability and narrow aisle width it is also suited
for confined work areas.
The truck is equipped with an electric traction drive and
a hydraulic pump motor for the steering and working
hydraulics.
Drive
The truck is driven by an electric traction motor acting on
the traction wheel through a reduction gearbox.
The required energy is supplied by a large-capacity 24 V
battery installed in the machine.
The Linde Digital Control (LDC) provides stepless for-
ward and reverse travel with the multifunction control.
Directional contactors, i.e. mechanical wear parts, are
no longer necessary.
When starting, a higher traction current is provided for
2 seconds to give a more powerful starting performance.
Gearbox
The gearbox as a compact unit connects the electric
traction motor, traction wheel and turntable.
This complete assembly is mounted well-protected in
the counterweight.

INSTRUMENTS
Hour meter and battery discharge indicator
The battery discharge indicator (1) and hour meter (9) are
combined in a single housing (composite instrument).
Battery discharge indicator
- When the battery is connected, the emergency switch
pulled up and the key switch is turned on, a LED lights
up in section (1) to show the state of charge.
- The green diode (5) illuminates when the battery is
fully charged.
- As the battery discharges, the green and yellow
diodes in section (4) illuminate successively (from
right to left and only one diode at a time).
- When the red diode (3) flashes, the battery is dis-
charged approximately 70 %.
- When the red diodes (2) and (3) flash alternately, the
battery discharge has reached 80%. A safety relay is
activated which cuts out the control current for the
hydraulic lift function. The battery must be charged or
changed immediately.

TAKING THE TRUCK OUT OF OPERATION
If the truck is taken out of operation for over 2 months,
it must be parked in a well-ventilated, frost-free, clean
and dry room and the following measures must be
performed.
Measures before taking truck out of opera-
tion
- Thoroughly clean the truck.
- Fully elevate the fork carriage several times, tilt the
fork carriage forward and back several times and
operate the attachment, if fitted, several times.
- Lower the fork carriage onto support blocks to take
the load off the chains.
- Check the hydraulic oil level, add oil if needed.
- Cover all unpainted mechanical parts with a thin film
of oil or grease.
- Lubricate the truck.
- Check the condition and electrolyte of the battery,
coat the battery terminals with non-acidic grease.
(Follow manufacturer’s instructions.)
- Spray all exposed electric contacts with a suitable
contact spray.
ATTENTION
Jack up and secure the truck so that all
wheels are off the ground. This will prevent a
permanent distortion of the tyres.
NOTE
Do not cover the truck with a polythene sheet as this will
cause the formation and collection of condensate water.
Recommissioning after taking out of oper-
ation
- Thoroughly clean the truck.
- Lubricate the truck.
- Clean the battery and coat the battery terminals with
non-acidic grease.
- Check the condition and electrolyte level of the bat-
tery, charging it if required.
- Check the hydraulic oil for condensate water, change
the oil if necessary.
- Perform the servicing as for before initial operation.
- Take the truck into operation.
- Change the brake fluid.
If the truck is to be taken out of operation for over 6
months, contact your authorised dealer for further meas-
ures.
MAINTENANCE
General information
Your truck will remain operational only if the main-
tenance and inspections specified in the operating in-
structions are carried out at the correct intervals and
according to the information and details given. The
maintenance may only be performed by qualified per-
sonnel authorised by Linde. This work can be carried out
by your authorised dealer under a service contract.
If you wish to service the truck yourself, we recommend
the first three customer service checks be carried out in
the presence of your mechanic by authorised staff, to
ensure that they receive appropriate maintenance in-
struction.
For all services the truck must be parked on firm level
ground and the wheels chocked securely.
Lower the fork carriage and tilt it slightly forward. The
forks must contact the ground. Depress the emergency
stop button and remove the switch key.
When working on the truck with the fork carriage and
mast elevated, secure these components against inad-
vertent lowering.
When servicing the front part of the truck, secure the
mast against tilting back.
No changes, particularly no attachments or retrofits,
may be made on your truck without the prior permission
of the manufacturer.
Perform a functional check or a trial run of the equipment
after any maintenance procedure.
NOTE
When operating the truck under extreme conditions (i.e.
extreme heat or cold, intensive dust concentration, etc.)
the intervals given in the maintenance schedule should
be reduced as needed.
ATTENTION
Follow the precautions for handling fluids
and lubricants.

MAINTENANCE, MAST VERSIONS
Servicing the mast and the front part of the
truck
WARNING
Before attempting to carry out repairs or
adjustments on the raised mast and fork
carriage, be sure that the following safety
procedures are carried out.
These safety precautions suffice only for the general
servicing of your truck (inspections and lubrication).
When carrying out repairs (e.g. chain renewal, lift cylin-
der removal), further safety measures must be taken.
Please contact your authorised dealer.
Securing the mast against tilting back
- Lower the mast completely.
- Tilt the fork carriage* forward until the forks touch the
ground.
- Depress the emergency stop button (1) and remove
the switch key (2).
* Option
Simplex mast
METHOD OF OPERATION
When the lift cylinders are extended, the chain pulleys
are raised along with the chains so that the fork carriage
is lifted at a ratio of 2:1.
Securing the raised simplex mast
WARNING
Use a squared timber of suitable size for the
particular lift mast. Do not exceed the maxi-
mum height of lift.
- Raise the mast.
- Place a squared timber (1) of about 80 x 80 x 1700 mm
diagonally between the left and right outer upright. To
prevent the timber from moving, insert it in the outer
upright channels at the top and bottom.
- Lower the fork carriage until it is held by the squared
timber.
Duplex mast
NOTE
The advantage of this version is that the supplementary
free lift can also be used in spaces with low ceilings
(cellars, railway cars, ships, etc.).
METHOD OF OPERATION
The fork carriage is raised to the supplementary free lift
height by the centre cylinder via the chain guide roller. It
moves twice as fast as the centre cylinder is extended.
Then the inner mast is lifted by the two external cylin-
ders, taking the fork carriage with it.
The centre cylinder is mounted on the extendable inner
mast.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE AS REQUIRED
Clean the truck
NOTE
The frequency of cleaning depends on the use of the
truck. When working with aggressive media like salt
water, fertilizers, chemicals, cement, etc., a thorough
cleaning will be necessary upon completion of work.
Steam cleaners and degreasers should only be used with
utmost caution! The grease in sealed-for-life bearings
may dissolve and run out. Since regreasing is not pos-
sible, this will result in damage to the bearings.
- Depress the emergency stop button.
ATTENTION
When cleaning with a cleaning machine, do
not expose the electrical system and insulat-
ing material to the direct jet. Cover them
before cleaning.
When cleaning with compressed air, first remove any
tenacious dirt with a cold cleaner.
Clean especially the oil filler openings and the surround-
ing area as well as lubrication points before servicing.
334/33

Clean and spray the lift chains
NOTE
The lift chains must be cleaned if the dust on the chains
prevents penetration of the lubricant.
- Place a tray under the mast.
- Clean the chain using paraffin derivatives such as
washing petrol (observe the manufacturer’s notes on
safety).
- When employing a steam cleaning machine, do not
use additives.
- After cleaning, dry the chains at once with an air jet to
remove any water in the chain links and on the
surface. During this procedure the chain should be
flexed several times.
- Spray the chain with Linde chain spray immediately,
flexing it during spraying.
ATTENTION
Lift chains are safety components. The use of
cold cleaners, chemical cleaning agents and
caustic or acidic and chlorinated fluids can
be a direct cause of damage to the chain.
