RRX35/45, RDX30, and RSX40/50.
The RRX35/45 are battery powered reach trucks.
The RDX30 is a battery powered deep reach truck.
The RSX40/50 are battery powered straddle arm trucks.
These trucks are intended solely to be operated handling
pallets or similar load carriers indoors.
In their standard design, the trucks are equipped with a
steering wheel with all the controls for operating within easy
access.
The trucks have various maximum lifting capacities (review
data plate on the truck to note the maximum lifting capacity).
These trucks are equipped with a 24V or 36V electrical
system and the speed is regulated by means of a transistor
controller to provide infinite control of acceleration and speed
while driving.
The forks and auxiliary functions are controlled by means of a
transistor controller. The control of the lift and auxiliary
functions are done electrically with the levers on the control
pod. Control of the speed and positioning of the forks when
stacking is done by the position of the levers.
The trucks can be fitted with different accessories including
sideshifter, warning light, lights/fan package, travel alarm,
and adjustable driving lights. The trucks can be specially
equipped to work in cold conditions.

1.1. Intended Application of the Trucks

Inch (SAE) and Metric Fasteners

1. Introduction
Threaded fasteners such as bolts, nuts, cap screws, and
studs are made to specifications that describe the mechanical
strength and hardness of the fastener. A fastener used in a
design application is selected in accordance with its
specifications. Parts used on this truck are purchased from
many countries. There are several standards used by these
countries in the manufacture of threaded fasteners. Many of
these fasteners are similar but cannot be used as direct
replacements.
Service persons must use replacement fasteners that have
the same specifications. Fasteners made to each
specification have identification marks for that specification.
This specification is commonly called grade for SAE
standards and property for metric standards. This section
describes the identification of some common fasteners.
The metric system used is described as SI (International
System of Units, also called SI in all languages). The SI
system of measurement is described in ISO Standard 1000,
1973.

2. Nomenclature, Threads
The thread design is specified by a series of numbers and
letters for inch and metric fasteners (see figure below). The
diameter of the shank of the fastener is shown first in the
series, e.g. M12=12 mm, M20=20 mm (1/2=1/2 inch, 3/4=3/4
inch).

The number of threads per inch is normally not shown for inch
nomenclature and only the UNC (Unified National Coarse) or
UNF (Unified National Fine) is shown. This number of threads
per inch is not shown because a UNC or UNF fastener has a
standard number of threads per inch for a specific diameter.
The length of a shank is often indicated as part of the
description of a fastener. This length is shown in inches for
inch fasteners and in millimeters for metric fasteners.
A cap screw will have the following description:

3. Strength Identification
The most common property classes for metric fasteners are
8.8 and 10.9. The property class is marked with a number on
the head of the cap screw or on a nut. Property classes less
then 8.8 are often not marked. Grades for inch bolts go from 2
to 8. Grade 2 fasteners normally do not have marks. The
following tables show the marks that identify the grades and
property classes for different fasteners.

WARNING When fasteners must be replaced the new


fasteners must be of the same strength or
greater than the original fasteners. The
new fasteners must also be the correct
size.
NOTE! Identification marks are according to bolt
strength. The higher the number, or the
increase in the number of marks, indicates
increased bolt strength.

Introduction, Maintenance
The schedules of maintenance and lubrication given in this
section of the Service Manual cover up to one years
operation of a truck.
These schedules are based on hourly usage and can be
adapted to suit most normal one shift patterns. The following
hourly usage figures have been used when calculating the
schedule:
Single shift- 8 am-5 pm, 25 hours per week usage
Double shift- 6 am-2 pm, 2 pm-10 pm, 50 hours per
week usage
Triple shift- 6 am-2 pm, 2 pm-10 pm, 10 pm-6 am, 75
hours per week usage
The schedules are intended only as a guide, not as a rigid
structure. Operators of trucks may wish to adapt them to local
requirements; but it is emphasized that the schedules
represent minimum manufacturer requirements, and all items
should be included in a service program to ensure minimum
downtime and a high safety status of the equipment.
- Use only spare parts approved by BT.
- Always clean the equipment and carry out a full safety
check after service.

1. Safe Jacking Procedure


1. Disconnect battery.

2. Planned Maintenance Procedures


This section describes how to perform the services listed in
the Schedule of Planned Maintenance Operations. As with
the Schedule, this section is subdivided into service
intervals.

2.1. Services to be performed daily or at


each 8 hour operating shift:
The daily inspection is to be made by the operator prior to
each operating shift. It is the operator's responsibility to report
any defects to the proper authorities, and the truck should not
be operated until it has been inspected and repaired by a
qualified technician. The operator is ultimately responsible for
the safe operation of the reach truck.
2.1.1. Battery Discharge Indicator with slow down
The battery discharge indicator indicates the current charge
status of the trucks battery.
1

Full charge battery

1/2

Half charged battery

Discharged battery

The battery battery discharge indicator has an integrated cutout function that slows down the trucks lift function when a
predetermined charge level has been reached. This prevents
overloading the battery and increases the operating economy
of the truck. When the battery has reached a charge level
equivalent to 70% discharge, a warning signal is given via
flashing lights. A further 10% of the batterys capacity can
then be used before the battery discharge indicator slows
down the lift function.
2.1.2. Hydraulic System
Inspect the entire truck for leaks, especially around the
hydraulic pump assembly and the lift cylinders. Any sign of oil
on the floor under the truck is an indication that the truck may
be leaking hydraulic oil or transmission fluid. Report any
problems to the proper authorities, and DO NOT operate the
truck until it has been inspected and repaired by a qualified
technician.

2.1.3. Frame/Sheet Metal


Inspect the truck for loose, damaged or missing parts. All
shields must be in place and functional. Report any problems
to the proper authorities. DO NOT operate the truck until it
has been inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
2.1.4. Wheels/Tires
Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Trash that is
wrapped around wheels and axles will cause premature tire
wear and bearing damage. The floors should be kept clear of
trash to prevent damage to the wheels and tires.
2.1.5. Functions/Operations
Test the truck for the proper operation of all functions
including the travel controls, lift and lower functions, the
brakes, and the emergency disconnect button. Safety devices
must be operational. Report any problems to the proper
supervisors. DO NOT operate the truck until it has been
inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.

2.2. Services to be performed monthly or


every 250 operating hours:
The monthly planned maintenance service should be
performed by a qualified technician.
2.2.1. Inspection
All of the services and inspections listed above for the daily
inspection should be performed at this time. The inspection
procedure should be more thorough, and minor deficiencies
should be corrected.
2.2.2. Transmission
Inspect for oil leakage.
2.2.3. Brakes
The brakes should stop a fully loaded truck at full speed in
approximately one truck length.
2.2.4. Battery
Contact your battery dealer for specific instructions on care
and maintenance of the battery.

An average battery will have a specific gravity of 1.170 at the


80% discharged level. However, there are many different
batteries on the market. Only the battery manufacturer can
accurately determine the fully charged and 80% charged
levels. Contact the battery manufacturer for this information.
2.2.5. Electrical Connections
All electrical connections should be checked that they are
clean and tight. Plug-in connectors should be unplugged and
plugged back in to clean the terminals. If the truck is equipped
with any of the cold-storage, freezer use, or corrosive
environment application packages, the di-electric compound
in the plug-in connectors should be renewed.
2.2.6. Contactor Tips (NOT Sealed)
Inspect contactor tips for arcing, pitting, or burning. Minor
pitting of the tips is not a problem. However, if the tips are
pitted through the tip to the copper bar, the tips should be
replaced. DO NOT file tips. Replace tips only in complete
sets. Some contactors have concealed tips or are fully sealed
so that tips cannot be replaced.
2.2.7. Motor Brushes
The drive motor is equipped with a brush wear sensor which
will indicate when the brushes need replacing. Minimum
brush lengths are given in the specifications section of this
manual. As a rule of thumb, the brushes should be replaced if
the brush spring is within 1/16 in. of touching the brush
holder.
2.2.8. Drive Motor
Blow out the drive motor fan and vents. Check for any signs
of oil on the drive motor fan and air vents. Check for any
damage to the fan or air vents.

WARNING Compressed air used for cleaning MUST


be reduced to less than 30 psi., and then
only with effective chip-guarding and
personal protective equipment worn.

2.2.9. Hydraulic Reservoir


Check the fluid level in the hydraulic reservoir.
2.2.10. Frame Lube (Lubrication Chart on page 55)
The pressure type grease fittings (zerk fittings) should be
lubricated with Texas Refineries #880 Crown and Chassis
lubricating grease. The total number of grease fittings
depends on the truck options when built. A truck with a coldstorage, freezer use, or corrosive environment application
package will have more grease fittings than a standard truck.
Look for flush-type grease fittings on the load wheel axles.
Regular fittings may be found on the transmission mounting
bearing and the mast chain sheave shafts.
2.2.11. Pivot Points
There are some pivot points and other items that need to be
lubricated but do not have grease fittings. Lubricate these
non-greasable wear points with a drip oil can using 10 wt.
machine oil.

2.3. Services to be performed annually or


every 1200 operating hours.
The annual planned maintenance service will take a longer
period of time to complete than does the monthly service.
This would be a good time to arrange other repairs that have
been noted on the monthly service.
2.3.1. Inspection
All of the services and inspections listed in sections 5.1 and
5.2 for the daily and monthly inspection should be performed
at this time. The inspection procedure should be more
thorough, and minor deficiencies should be corrected.
2.3.2. Transmission
The transmission fluid should be drained once a year. The
drain port is located on the lower portion of the side cover
opposite the drive tire. Remove the bolt to drain the
transmission fluid. Flush the transmission case with safety
solvent. Pour clean safety solvent into the fill port accessed
from battery compartment. With drive tire off the floor, allow
solution to run out of drain port while transmission is running.

Stop flushing when the solution runs clean. Allow the solvent
to drain well before replacing the drain plug bolt. Replace the
drain plug bolt. Refill the transmission with the proper clean
oil before operating truck.
2.3.3. Battery
At approximately 1500 hours, contact an authorized battery
dealer to determine the overall condition of the battery.
Determine if the battery needs to be washed down. This can
only be done by properly equipped and trained personnel.
2.3.4. Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system should be drained, flushed and refilled,
and the pressure relief valve setting should be checked and
adjusted. This will maintain proper lubrication properties
within the system.

WARNING Before siphoning oil from reservoir, make


certain siphon is clean.
To drain reservoir, remove reservoir filter assembly.
Siphon oil from reservoir and purge oil out of hydraulic
system. Fill reservoir with proper clean oil. Operate raise and
lower function several times to purge air from system. Check
oil level. Put rated truck capacity load on forks and adjust
pressure relief valve, if necessary, so that truck will lift rated
load.
2.3.5. Brakes
Follow procedures for brake removal before inspecting.
Remove brake assembly and inspect friction disc for wear.
The friction disc should be replaced once thickness is 0.25 in.
(6 mm) or less. The armature and magnetic coil should be
adjusted if machine will not meet stopping and holding
specifications. The air gap should not exceed 0.018 in. 0.46
mm) and should remain within 0.003 in. (0.076 mm)
throughout the circumference.
2.3.6. Lift and Carriage Chains.
Lift and carriage chains should be checked every 500 hours.
A chain gauge should be used to check stretch of the links.
To adjust inner rails, loosen jam nut and tighten chains

1. General Information
Routine maintenance schedule with recorded findings is the
best way to reduce costly shut-downs and repair of
equipment during operating hours.
The goal of any maintenance program -- long-life and troublefree operations -- is related to the time spent making
inspections and correcting minor problems as they occur.
The drive motor is equipped with brush sensors. When
brushes are in need of replacement, a warning code C-17 will
show on the dash display.

2. Operating Conditions
Operating environment of lift truck motors varies widely:
The following recommendations should be applied as actual
conditions dictate.
Normal Service:

Basically an eight hour day of indoor


material handling.

Severe Service:

Extended operating hours, or constant


usage.

Extreme Service:

Chemical Processing
Freezer operation
Processing plants (poultry, meat)

1. Disassembly
1. Remove the cover band (23) from the commutator
end of the motor.
2. Use a brush hook to reach into the motor and lift
the brush springs (19). Pull the brushes (2) out of
the brush holders. Either position the brushes
outside the motor or remove the brush retaining
screws and remove the brushes from the motor.
3. Scribe or center punch locating marks in the end
head and the frame. Although locating marks are
not always necessary because of locating pins in
some motors, they can save a lot of time when the
motor does not have locating pins.
4. Remove the commutator end head retaining
screws. Most motors have a slip fit bearing at the
commutator end, and the end head can be
removed with very little trouble.
5. Remove the drive end head retaining screws, if
necessary. Separate the armature (9) and drive
end head (11) as an assembly from the frame and
field coil assembly.
6. Separate the armature (9) from the drive end head
(11). This operation is usually done by pressing the
armature out of the drive end bearing. Remove
with a puller. When a puller is used, protect the end
of the armature shaft with a nut or a thick flat
washer.

CAUTION If the shaft, coupling, or spline is


damaged when removing the end
head, the armature or the drive spline
usually has to be replaced. Use
caution, and DO NOT damage the
armature.
7. Remove snap ring from the end head. Then press
the bearing (17) out of the end head (21).
8. After the motor has been separated into all its
major subassemblies, the components should be
cleaned and inspected for wear or damage.

2. Inspection and Troubleshooting


After the motor components have been thoroughly cleaned
and dried, they should be inspected for the following:

2.1. Drive End Head


1. Check bearing recess for any signs of wear.
2. Check mounting holes for any stripped or crossed
threads or broken studs.

2.2. Commutator End Head


1. Check bearing recess for any signs of wear.
2. Check brush holder insulation for cracks or any
signs of burning.
3. Check brush holders and springs for wear.

2.3. Bearings
1. Check bearings by turning them with your fingers.
Feel for binding or gritty effects and excessive
looseness or wobble. A good bearing should also
have a small amount of drag or stiffness caused by
the lubrication but should turn smoothly. If the
bearing turns very freely, it should be replaced.
Bearings should also be changed if worn out,
damaged, or removed from armature shaft.
Ball bearings that have been pulled off shafts,
pressed out of end heads, or side loaded in such a
way as to apply pressure on the balls and races
must be replaced.

2.4. Brush and Commutator


The brushes and commutator should be inspected for even
wear and good commutation.
Good Commutation: A dark uniform coloring pattern at the
brush wearing surface.
Poor Commutation: The surface of the commutator
appearing rough, pitted, or scored, or showing signs of
burning or heavy arcing between bars. The color pattern will
be:
 Streaky film with commutator wear.
 Bar edge burning.
 Uneven film.
 Carbon dust bridging between bars.
Brushes should be inspected for uneven wear and signs of
overheating, i.e.:
 Discolored brush shunts.
 Discolored brush springs.
Refer to the Brush Chart at the end of this section.

2.5. Armature
1. Check for loose commutator bars. Loose
commutator bars will usually be indicated by
excessive wear or burning on one bar. The
commutator can be checked for loose bars by
lightly tapping all of the bars with the handle of a
plastic or wooden handled screwdriver. A
contrasting dull thud or vibration will indicate a
loose bar. Replace the armature if the commutator
bars are loose.
2. Check for grounded circuits using a test light. Most
commercial growlers incorporate a test light.
Check the armature for grounded circuits by
placing one test lead of the test lamp on the
commutator and the other test lead on the
armature shaft. If the test light lights, the armature
is grounded.

Grounded Circuit Test

3. Standard Winding Armatures are tested on a


growler using a steel strip or hacksaw blade to
locate any shorted windings.

Check for shorted windings by slowly rotating the


armature in the growler while holding the strip or
blade so that it passes over each armature core
slot. If a winding is shorted, the strip or blade will
vibrate and the blade will get hot.

Test for Shorted Windings on


Armature

NOTE! If the armature has been turned and


undercut prior to testing, check for and
remove any copper buildup or filings
between commutator bars and at the
commutator riser. This condition will cause
an armature to check shorted and usually
results from a dull undercutting tool.
4. Check commutator bars for any signs of burning. If
deep burned sections are evident, either in the
brush track or on the riser ends of the commutator
bars, an open or short circuit in the armature
windings is indicated.

2.6. Frame and Field Assembly


Check the condition of all insulation. If the insulation on the
field coils appears blackened or charred, the serviceability of
the coils is questionable. Burned or charred insulation is a
result of coil overheating due to overloading conditions,
grounded or shorted coil windings. Check the condition of all
other insulation such as brush rigging, under coil connections
and around terminal studs.

Test for Shorted Windings on


Armature

2.6.1. Testing
After thorough inspection, the Frame and Field Assembly
should be checked for grounded, open, or shorted circuits.
Grounded and open circuits can be checked using a test light.
Most commercial growlers incorporate a test light as shown in
opposite illustration.


Grounded Circuit
Touch one test lead to a clean bare metal spot on
the frame and check all terminals with the other
lead. If a grounded condition exists, the test light
will light.

Open Circuit
Check between all connecting terminals with test
leads. If the bulb fails to light, an open circuit is
indicated.

Shorted Circuit
Shorted windings in series coils are very difficult to
detect. Generally, if the coil insulation is sound and
these are no signs of overheating, the coil can be
presumed good.

2.6.2. Frame and Field Service Notes


If the inside of the motor is exceptionally dirty and there is
evidence of a grounding condition caused by the dirt, the
inside of the motor can be given an additional coat of
insulating varnish. Red glyptol can be used if a better material
is not available, however, we recommend using a class H
Polyurethane air drying insulating varnish. This is readily
available under various brand names from electrical repair or
parts houses in aerosol type dispensers.
Before spraying field coils, make sure they are absolutely
clean and dry. Protect brush rigging, pole shoe faces, and
end head seats to keep varnish off.

2.7. Assembly
2.7.1. Field Coil Installation
Good solder connections are important due to the vibration
characteristics encountered by these motors which can cause
cold or poorly soldered connections to break.
1. Prior to installing the field coils, the connections
which require soldering should be buffed or wire
brushed clean to remove any oxidation. The
connections should then be tinned with a soldering
iron.
NOTE! We do not recommend using a soldering gun
or torch. A soldering gun cannot provide the
heat concentration required, and a soldering
torch can damage the insulation.
2. After field coil installation, connect the solder
joint, making sure the solder is flowing properly to
avoid a cold soldered joint.

Pole Shoe Screw Removal & Installation


(Field Coil Removal & Installation)
Continue assembly in the reverse of disassembly, paying
particular attention to the following points.
2.7.2. Bearing Installation
1. Whenever ball bearings are pressed into an end
head or onto a shaft, always press against the race
that is absorbing the pressure.

Press on the outer race when installing into end


heads.
Press against the inner race when installing onto a
shaft.
2. End heads having slip-fit bearings are normally
retained by a snap ring. Always install new snap
ring(s).
2.7.3. After Assembly
1. The motor should be connected as specified in
Troubleshooting, and tested to the specifications.
2. When testing motors, the voltmeter connections
must be made at the motor terminals.

3. When Changing Brushes


When changing brushes, the commutator must be serviced
as follows:
Resurface the commutator by taking only light cuts
each time, 0.005 in. (0.12 mm).
If reslotting/undercutting is necessary, the final
operation is to lightly sand the commutator with a
fine sandpaper to remove any burrs left from the
undercutting operation.

motor taking care to make sure the head of the
screws (12) are recessed and do not protrude
above the counter bore.
6. Secure the brake hub (04) to the motor shaft. It
should not interfere with the mounting plate (06).
7. Slide friction plate (05) onto the hub spline and up
to the mounting plate (06).

1. Operating Description
The main electronic card (A5) contains a microprocessor.
This microprocessor monitors the state of switches, sensors,
joysticks (mast and fork functions), and other input devices.
A5 The microprocessor makes decisions based on this
information. Output devices that the microprocessor controls
are solenoids, contactors, drives, and optional equipment to
customize the truck. The microprocessors programming
parameters can be customized for each application. Two of
the parameters that can be customized are the clock and
calendar. The microprocessor has an internal battery with a
ten year life span that can store the customized parameters in
memory when the trucks battery is disconnected.
The microprocessor performs a diagnostic test at start up and
during truck operation. The diagnostic test assists in repair by
identifying problems and minimizing truck downtime. For any
identified problems, the operator is alerted by a visible tool
bar icon displaying error code numbers and an audible alarm.
A history log records error codes by the time and day, using
the clock and calender information stored in the
microprocessor.
The controller card is connected to the truck circuitry by eight
connectors. To remove the controller cards eight connections
depress the connectors latch and disconnect or simply
pushing the connectors back together.
The eight connectors are grouped functionally from the top
down: digital inputs, communications, analog inputs, analog
outputs, digital outputs and power output. The controller
cards eight connectors and light emitting diodes (LEDs) are
clearly identified by numbers. When the controller card is
connected correctly to the trucks battery, the digital input
LEDs light green and battery voltage is present at input pins.
The digital output LEDs light red and battery voltage is
present at output pins. The communications and analog
voltage inputs and outputs do not have LEDs.

2. Start Up
Electricity from trucks battery flows to drive motor transistor
regulator (A1, terminal B-), and also to main electronic card
(A5, terminal 902) through wire #40.
By closing the emergency disconnect switch (S21) and key
switch (S17), electricity can flow through control circuit fuse
(F50) and to main electronic card (A5, terminal 809).
Electricity is also supplied to main electronic card (A5,
terminal 808). Trucks with a 36-volt electrical system have a
jumper from terminal 808 to terminal 501 on main electronic
card (A5), lighting the LED.
Electricity flows through wire #22 to drive motor transistor
regulator (A1, terminal 1) starting the internal safety test.
Output from drive motor transistor regulator (A1, terminal 7) is
sent through wire #34 to main electronic card (A5, terminal
101), lighting the LED.
Electricity flows through wire #34 to the emergency
disconnect switch (S21) and out through wire #44 to main
contactor coil (K10). This closes contactor tips.
Closing main contactor tips allows electricity to flow through
drive motor fuse (F01) to drive motor transistor regulator (A1,
terminal B+). Electricity is also available at drive motor
transistor regulator (A1, terminal A).

The default travel direction is always forks first.
Moving direction/speed control potentiometer (R01) to the left
approximately 3/16 in. will select the next travel direction.
Moving direction/speed control potentiometer (R01) to the left
will decrease voltage from 3.7 volts to approximately 3 volts.
The lower voltage sends current from main electronic card
(A5, terminal 802) to direction contactor (K11), opening the
normally closed tips and closing the normally open tips,
lighting the main electronic card (A5) 802 LED.
An electrical path is available for current to flow from drive
motor field (M1) to drive motor transistor regulator (A1,
terminal M)
The brake transducer (R02) is activated by depressing the
pedal.
NOTE! The brake transducer is a potentiometer with
variable resistants.

The decrease in voltage from the transducer (R02) to main


electronic card (A5, terminal 511), and input from brake
switch (S48) to main electronic card (A5, terminal 111) will
send current from main electronic card (A5, terminal 805) to
parking brake coil, lighting the main electronic card (A5) 805
LED.
NOTE! The direction contactors are shown closing with
direction selection for training purposes. They
actually fully close when direction/speed control

5. Forward Drive
This diagram shows forward travel and the relationship
between speed reference voltage and direction/speed control
potentiometers (R01) voltage.
The forward travel speed reference voltage is 0 - 5 volts and
direction/speed control potentiometers (R01) voltage is 3.7 6.5 volts.
When moving direction/speed control potentiometer (R01) to
the right, voltage increases to a maximum of 2.5 volts.
For every 0.5 volt increase of the direction/speed control
potentiometer (R01), the speed reference will increase 1 volt.
The speed reference voltage is the main electronic card (A5,
terminal 610) to drive motor transistor regulator (A1, terminal
10) through wire #36.
Wire #35 is connected to drive motor transistor regulator (A1,
terminal 6) and main electronic card (A5, terminal 609) is the
negative for the speed reference voltage.
The speed sensor (S64) is sending pulses to the main
electronic card (A5, terminal 201) to determine drive motor
speed.

6. Plug Braking
CAUTION Releasing parking brake while on incline
will couse truck to move.
A momentary movement left of the directional/speed control
potentiometer (R01) causes the main electronic card (A5) to
de-energize the forward contactor (K11) and energize the
reverse contactor (K13), lighting the main electronic card (A5)
805 LED.
The drive motor transistor regulator (A1) reads the signal
from the drive motor armature EMF generator, located on top
of drive motor.
Electricity from the drive motor transistor regulator (A1,
terminal 8) flows to the main electronic card (A5, terminal
103) through wire #38 indicating plug braking, lighting the
main electronic card (A5) 103 LED.
Plug braking may be regulated with the direction/speed
control potentiometer (R01). Moving to the right will increase
plugging.
There is a second plug brake available on this truck. This
second plug brake uses a drive motor direction sensor
(S125), drive motor speed sensor (S64), and a brake
transducer (R02).
To use the second plug brake, raise the brake pedal
approximately 1 in. This causes a decrease in voltage at
brake transducer (R02) to main electronic card (A5, terminal
511) through wire #65.
The drive motor direction sensor (S125) tells the main
electronic card (A5, terminal 105) which direction the drive
motor is rotating. This information is then processed and the
opposite directional contactor closed.
Located on top of the drive motor, the drive motor transistor
regulator (A1, terminal A) reads the signal from the drive
motor armature EMF generator.
Electricity from the drive motor transistor regulator (A1,
terminal 8) flows to main electronic card (A5, terminal 103)
through wire #38 indicating plug braking, lighting the main
electronic card (A5) 103 LED.

The drive motor speed sensor (S64) tells the main electronic
card (A5, terminal 201) how fast the drive motor is rotating.
During this phase, the main electronic card (A5) takes over all
speed control, ignoring any information from the directional/
speed control potentiometer (R01).
To regain control of direction/speed control potentiometer
(R01), the brake pedal must be fully depressed again.

9. Driving speed reduction switch


This diagram covers the driving speed reduction switch(S31).
Driving speed reduction switch (S31) operates when forks are
raised above freelift height. This closes the circuit and allows
electricity to the main electronic card (A5, terminal 107)
through wire #79, lighting the main electronic card (A5) 107
LED.
Main electronic card (A5) processes the information that is
received from the drive motor speed sensor (S64) to
determine the speed on the drive motor rotation. Using this
information, the main electronic card (A5) reduces the overall
truck speed to a pre-programmed value.

10. Height Indicator and Preset


Selector
10.1. Height Indicator
This diagram covers the interface between the height counter
(U10) (a pulse sensor), main electronic card (A5), and back to
the height indicator (A8) (a digital display of fork height).
Raising the forks to and above freelift height closes mast
upper position switch (S45) allowing electricity to flow to main
electronic card (A5, terminal 207) through wire #106, lighting
the main electronic card (A5) 207 LED.
A pulsed signal is sent by the height counter (U10) to main
electronic card (A5, terminal 205 and 206).
This information is then processed and sent out main
electronic card (A5, terminal 405 and 402) through wire #125
and #126 to the height indicator (A8).

10.2. Height Preset Selector


This diagram also covers the height preset selector (A7).
The height preset selector (A7) works with the same
information supplied to the height indicator (A8) from the main
electronic card (A5), with the exception of height
programmable reference points (fork heights).
Once the fork height stop positions are entered in the height
preset selector (A7), fork heights can be selected at any time.
After lifting forks to the selected fork height, the height preset
selector (A7) allows electricity to flow to main electronic card
(A5, terminal 403 and 404) through wire #127 and #128,
disabling the lift for a brief period of time.
Once the program has been executed, the lift/lower resumes
normal operation.
The height preset selector (A7) has 99 possible fork height
positions.

1. Component Repair
1.1. Motor Disassembly
1. Remove the cover band (1) from the commutator
end of the motor.
2. Use a brush hook to reach into the motor and lift
the brush springs (6). Pull the brushes (7) out of
the brush holders. Either position the brushes
outside the motor or remove the brush retaining
screws, and remove the brushes (7) from the
motor.
3. Scribe or center punch locating marks in the end
head and the frame. Although locating marks are
not always necessary, they can save time when
the motor does not have locating pins.
4. Remove the commutator end head retaining
screws. Most motors have a slip fit bearing at the
commutator end, and the end head can be
removed with very little trouble.
On motors that have a shaft extension on both
ends of the armature, the attachment on the
commutator end of the shaft must be removed
before the end head can be separated from the
motor.
5. Remove the drive end head retaining screws if
necessary. Some of the smaller pump motors
retain the drive end head with the motor through
bolts. Separate the armature (12) and drive end
head (10) as an assembly from the frame and field
coil assembly.
6. Separate the armature (12) from the drive end
head (10). This operation is usually done by
pressing the armature out of the drive end bearing.
On some of the larger motors, the end head and
bearing will have to be removed with a puller.
When a puller is used, protect the end of the
armature shaft with a nut or a thick flat washer.

T-code

395/396/397/398/399

If the shaft, coupling, or spline is


damaged when removing the end head,
the armature or the drive spline usually
has to be replaced. Use caution, and
DO NOT damage the armature.

7. Separate the bearing (4) from the end head (2). On


larger motors, the bearing is retained with a snap
ring. Remove the snap ring. Then press the
bearing out of the end head.
8. The ventilation fans (13) are cast aluminum. Once
these fans have been pressed onto the armature,
they must be heated to be removed without
damage.
Install a puller and apply slight pressure against the
fan. Use a small propane torch to heat the area of
the fan around the shaft. When the fan becomes
loose on the shaft, as evidenced by the puller
becoming loose, remove as quickly as possible.
9. When the fan (13) is reassembled on the shaft,
make sure it is a tight fit. Use Loctite Retaining
Compound 40 or equivalent on the inside of the
fan hub when reassembling fan.
10. After the motor has been separated into all its
major subassemblies, the components should be
cleaned and inspected for wear or damage.
Use Loctite on
this area of shaft

2. Inspection and Troubleshooting


After the motor components have been thoroughly cleaned
and dried, they should be inspected for the following:

2.1. Drive End Head


1. Check bearing recess for any signs of wear.
2. Check mounting holes for any stripped or crossed
threads or broken studs.

2.2. Commutator End Head


1. Check bearing recess for any signs of wear.
2. Check brush holder insulation for cracks or any
signs of burning.
3. Check brush holders and springs for wear.

2.3. Bearings
1. Check bearings by turning them with your fingers.
Feel for binding or gritty effects and excessive
looseness or wobble. A good bearing should also
have a small amount of drag or stiffness caused by
the lubrication but should turn smoothly. If the
bearing turns very freely, it should be replaced.
Bearings should also be changed if worn out,
damaged, or removed from armature shaft.
Ball bearings that have been pulled off shafts,
pressed out of end heads, or side loaded in such a
way as to apply pressure on the balls and races
must be replaced. Although the bearing may

2.4. Brush and Commutator


The brushes and commutator should be inspected for even
wear and good commutation.
Good Commutation: A dark uniform coloring pattern at the
brush wearing surface.
Poor Commutation: The surface of the commutator
appearing rough, pitted, or scored, or showing signs of
burning or heavy arcing between bars. The color pattern will
be:





Streaky film with commutator wear.


Bar edge burning.
Uneven film.
Carbon dust bridging between bars.

Brushes should be inspected for uneven wear and signs of


overheating, i.e.:



Discolored brush shunts.


Discolored brush springs.
Refer to the Brush Chart at the end of this section.

2.5. Armature
1. Check security of fan.
2. Check for loose commutator bars. Loose
commutator bars will usually be indicated by
excessive wear or burning on one bar. The
commutator can be checked for loose bars by
lightly tapping all of the bars with the handle of a
plastic or wooden handled screwdriver. A
contrasting dull thud or vibration will indicate a
loose bar. Replace the armature if the commutator
bars are loose.
3. Check for grounded circuits using a test light. Most
commercial growlers incorporate a test light.
Check the armature for grounded circuits by
placing one test lead of the test lamp on the
commutator and the other test lead on the

armature shaft. If the test light lights, the armature


is grounded.
4. Standard Winding Armatures are tested on a
growler using a steel strip or hacksaw blade to
locate any shorted windings.
Check for shorted windings by slowly rotating the
armature in the growler while holding the strip or
blade so that it passes over each armature core
slot. If a winding is shorted, the strip or blade will
vibrate and the blade will get hot.

Test for Shorted Windings on


Armature

NOTE! If the armature has been turned and


undercut prior to testing, check for and
remove any copper buildup or filings
between commutator bars and at the
commutator riser. This condition will cause
an armature to check shorted and usually
results from a dull undercutting tool.
5. Check commutator bars for any signs of burning. If
deep burned sections are evident, either in the
brush track or on the riser ends of the commutator
bars, an open or short circuit in the armature
windings is indicated.

2.6. Frame and Field Assembly


Check the condition of all insulation. If the insulation on the
field coils appears blackened or charred, the serviceability of
the coils is questionable. Burned or charred insulation is a
result of coil overheating due to overloading conditions,
grounded or shorted coil windings. Check the condition of all
other insulation such as brush rigging, under coil connections
and around terminal studs.

2.6.1. Testing
After thorough inspection, the Frame and Field Assembly
should be checked for grounded, open, or shorted circuits.
Grounded and open circuits can be checked using a test light.
Most commercial growlers incorporate a test light as shown in
opposite illustration.

Grounded Circuit
Touch one test lead to a clean bare metal spot on
the frame and check all terminals with the other
lead. If a grounded condition exists, the test light
will light.

Open Circuit
Check between all connecting terminals with test
leads. If the bulb fails to light, an open circuit is
indicated.

Shorted Circuit
Shorted windings in series coils are very difficult to
detect. Generally, if the coil insulation is sound and
these are no signs of overheating, the coil can be
presumed good.

2.6.2. Frame and Field Service Notes


If the inside of the motor is exceptionally dirty and there is
evidence of a grounding condition caused by the dirt, the
inside of the motor can be given an additional coat of
insulating varnish. Red glyptol can be used if a better material
is not available, however, we recommend using a class H
Polyurethane air drying insulating varnish. This is readily
available under various brand names from electrical repair or
parts houses in aerosol type dispensers.
Before spraying field coils, make sure they are absolutely
clean and dry. Protect brush rigging, pole shoe faces, and
end head seats to keep varnish off.

2.7. Assembly
2.7.1. Field Coil Installation
Good solder connections are important due to the vibration
characteristics encountered by these motors which can cause
cold or poorly soldered connections to break.
1. Prior to installing the field coils, the connections
which require soldering should be buffed or wire
brushed clean to remove any oxidation. The
connections should then be tinned with a soldering
iron.

NOTE: We do not recommend using a soldering gun


or torch. A soldering gun cannot provide the
heat concentration required, and a soldering
torch can damage the insulation.
2. After field coil installation, connect the solder joint,
making sure the solder is flowing properly to avoid a
cold soldered joint.

Pole Shoe Screw Removal & Installation


(Field Coil Removal & Installation)
Continue assembly in the reverse of disassembly, paying
particular attention to the following points.
2.7.2. Bearing Installation
1. Whenever ball bearings are pressed into an end head
or onto a shaft, always press against the race that is
absorbing the pressure.
Press on the outer race when installing into end heads.

2. End heads having slip-fit bearings are normally
retained by a snap ring. Always install new snap
ring(s).
2.7.3. After Assembly
1. The motor should be connected as specified in
Troubleshooting, and tested to the specifications.
2. When testing motors, the voltmeter connections must
be made at the motor terminals.

3. When Changing Brushes


When changing brushes, the commutator must be serviced
as follows:
Resurface the commutator by taking only light cuts
each time, 0.005 in. (0.12 mm).
If reslotting/undercutting is necessary, the final
operation is to lightly sand the commutator with a fine
sandpaper to remove any burrs left from the
undercutting operation.

WARNING When blocking mast columns to prevent
lowering always block both side of the
column. If not the truck could tip over on its
side.

1.1. Shimming the Carriage/Reach


1. Disconnect battery and remove battery from truck.
2. Attach a hoist to top of carriage/reach and hoist to
loosen lift chains. Read and follow the correct
operating procedures for your jack or hoist. This
will allow removal of lift chain anchor pins, and
electrical cable.
3. Thoroughly clean off all outside dirt around mast
roller bearings.
4. Determine the amount of shims required by prying
the rear of carriage/reach to one side and slipping
shims between the bearings and web on the
column. Add shims by hand until no more can be
added.
5. Divide shims as equally as possible between the
two bearings and install under bearings.
6. Hydraulically lift up inner column enough to remove
carriage/reach.
7. Lower carriage/reach inner column to expose
bearings. Remove bearings to install shims behind
bearings.
8. Raise carriage/reach inner column as far as it will
go under normal operation. Check bearing
shimming as the carriage/reach is raised. Remove
shims as required, if tight spots are encountered
where assembler cannot move carriage/reach
smoothly. Check for excessive bearing clearance
with carriage/reach in fully lowered position by
prying carriage/reach to one side and checking
with a 0.030-in. shim. Maximum clearance must
not exceed 0.030-in. Check for excessive bearing
clearance with carriage/reach in the fully raised

1.2. Shimming the Rails.


In order to shim the mast rails the carriage/reach will
have to be removed.
1. Disconnect battery and remove from unit.
2. The truck will have to be hoisted and blocked a foot
off the floor before work can begin. Read and
follow the correct operating procedures for your
jack or hoist.
WARNING Always make sure unit is on level
surface before work can begin.
3. Attach a hoist to top of carriage/reach and raise
carriage/reach. Loosen lift chains.
4. Remove chain anchor pins, attachment hydraulic
hoses and electrical cable. Hydraulically raise inner
column enough to remove carriage/reach.
Lower carriage/reach down and out inner column.
Place it away from truck.
5. Attach hoist to top of inner column and hoist to

2. Operation and Maintenance


Always operate the truck controls in a smooth manner.
Sudden movements of the sideshifter at high lifts can
compromise the stability of the truck, as well as cause
damage to the overall system.
Maintenance on the sideshifter is minimal. Lubrication is not
required due to special oil impregnated nylon slides.
However, lubrication will extend the life of the slides if the unit
is not operated in extremely dirty environments. In a dirty
environment, the lubrication may attract contamination,
causing increased wear. The top slides are completely
covered and protected from contamination. The lower slides
have a wiper that protects the slide from contamination as
long as the truck carriage is not nicked or grooved.

Every 1000 hours:


1. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear.
2. Inspect the cylinder (15) and fittings (4) for leaks.
3. Clean the lower slides (6) and truck carriage lower bar.
Inspect for wear.
4. Inspect and adjust the lower hooks (8) for the proper
clearance adjustment.
5. Check the torque on the lower hook mounting bolts (10)
and set screws (9).
NOTE! In a dirty environment or rough operations,
it is necessary to inspect the sideshifter
more frequently.

2. Replace the lower slide if contamination is present or
excessive play becomes evident.

2.2. Upper Slides


1. The original thickness of upper slide (1) is approximately
1/8 in. and should be replaced if the slide is worn beyond
1/16 in. at any point on the round surface.
2. Replace the upper slides (1) if there is an unacceptable
clearance (greater then 1/8 in. after adjustment) between
the lower hooks (8) and the truck carriage.
3. When replacing the upper slides (1), always replace all of
the slides at the same time to ensure even wear and

mounted on mast.

2. Operation
The measurement in the staging zone starts when the
reference switch (S45) is activated and sends a signal to the
electronic card (A5). The pulse sensor (15) send pulses to
(A5) which starts by indicating the preprogrammed free lift
height on the display (02). The pulse sensor has two
channels, A and B, which give signals at 90 degree to each
other. This gives information to (A5) on whether the forks are
moved up or down.

3. Preset Height
By using the preset height, the operator can lift and lower the
forks to a maximum of 99 different programmable levels,
within the main lift zone.
Based on height information obtained from the pulse sensor,
the lift and lowering mechanism is controlled to stop at the
required level. Depositing or collecting of the load takes place
manually.
The correct height for depositing or collecting the pallet is
requested/programmed via the keyboard. The selected level
can be read on the display, which also indicates any error
codes.

6. Programming
Press the button PROG briefly to enter the programming
mode. The LED in the button comes on and the display
shows PL00 when programming routines have been started.
You can program new lifting heights, modify programmed
values, or remove programmed values.

6.1. Programming a Level


Programming of lift heights can only take place within the
staging zone, above initial lift.
NOTE: Forks not horizontal.
The load can slide off the forks or catch on
the rack. When the load is left or collected,
the forks should always be positioned
horizontally.

6.1.1. Collection Level


1. Press the PROG button briefly. State the required
level (e.g., 1+5=level 15). The numbers are shown
on the display.
2. Lift the forks to the required level and press the
button COLLECT. The LED flashes.
6.1.2. Leaving Level
1. Pick-up the load and wait three seconds. Lift the
forks just enough so that the pallet can be removed
from the rack. Ensure that there is sufficient space
for safe handling.
2. Now press the LEAVE button, both LEDs for
collecting and leaving will start to flash.
3. Press the PROG button until both the LEDs go out
and the display indicates PL00, storing information.
4. Repeat from the first point to program more levels.
5. Press STOP to return to the display mode.

There are two different automatic operating modes, one
where the forks are raised/lowered to required level without a
load and the other with a load.
6.2.2. Collecting a Load
1. State the required height level using buttons 0-9,
(e.g., 1+2=level 12). The display will show LE12.
2. Raise/lower the forks until they are automatically
stopped by the electronics. If the wrong direction is
chosen, no raise/lower movement will take place.
The program expects the correct direction to be
selected.
3. When the forks stop and the COLLECT LED
comes ON, the forks can be maneuvered in under
the load.
NOTE: Forks not horizontal.
The load can slide off the forks or catch on
the rack. When the load is left or collected,
the forks should always be positioned
horizontally.

Remark

Err 1

The requested height level is not programmed


or is incorrect.

Err 2

The forks have stopped outside of the


tolerance area (P5).

Err 9

Incorrect values stated when programming.

Err flashes

Communication error between the preset


height and the truck computer.

Four lines light up when started. This indicates that no


communication has been established between the preset
height and the main electronics. These go out when
contact between the two units has been established.

Four points are lit in the display when the forks are in the
free lift zone.

If the points flash, this indicates that the reference switch


was active when the truck was started, e.g., the forks were
over the free lift zone. If the points still flash, the preset
mast height could be set to 0; or when the forks are
lowered, there can be a fault in the wiring; or the reference
height switch can be faulty.
