1-10 TORQUE WRENCH USE

Numerous forklift components require that the attaching hardware be torqued to a specific value during component installation. A torque wrench is required to tighten bolts, nuts, and screws. Listed below are standard procedures and precautions to observe when using a torque wrench:

• Ensure that the torque wrench has been calibrated.

• Always work with clean fastener threads that are free of corrosion.

• If an installation procedure specifies a thread lubricant, use it.

• Observe the torque sequence instructions provided in installation procedures.

• Pull the torque wrench in a clockwise direction, using a steady, smooth motion. A fast or jerky tightening motion will result in an improperly torqued fastener.

• Avoid over-tightening a fastener with a conventional wrench or impact wrench before applying a torque wrench to the fastener.

• Do not use the torque wrench to apply greater amounts of torque than its rated capacity.

• Never use a torque wrench as a hammer or to pry apart parts.

• Never use a torque wrench as a conventional wrench.

• Do not apply a torque wrench to a nut that has been tightened. Back off the nut one turn with a conventional wrench and retighten it to the correct torque with a torque wrench.

• Do not use the torque wrench to break loose bolts that have been previously tightened.

• Avoid dropping a torque wrench. If a wrench is dropped, check its accuracy on a torque tester.

• When using a torque wrench, do not over-torque the fastener by applying torque past the release point. Learn the feel of the torque wrench release rather than relying on the sound the wrench makes.

• When not in use, set the torque wrench to its lowest torque value. But DO NOT set the wrench to a value below the lowest torque value.

When the torque wrench is in frequent or continuous use, periodically check the wrench's calibration accuracy.

1-11 CAP SCREW TORQUE VALUES

Refer to Table 1-9 for a listing of recommended assembly torque values for Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Grade 5 and Grade 8 caps crews. The following criteria apply to the determination of torque values:

• All torque values are based on the use of through-hardened flat washers under the bolt head and nut or only under the bolt head in a tapped hole application. This provides a uniform, hard, smooth bearing surface.

• Torque values are calculated at 75% of proof load. This calculation method provides a safety factor.

• All dry torque values are given for the as received condition, such as plated hex head cap screws.

Ensure that damaged cap screws are replaced with SAE grade 8 cap screws from a reputable manufacturer/vendor. Refer to Figure 1-9 for a diagram depicting the cap screw head markings of a grade 8 cap screw or bolt.

Maintenance & Operation Safety

Section 2


2-1 GENERAL Operating and maintaining a rough-terrain, forward-reach forklift can be a very safe endeavor, or a very dangerous endeavor. The U.S. Government, private industry, and Xtreme Manufacturing have extended a great deal of time, effort, and money in making the operator’s and mechanic’s workplace safe. To help accomplish that goal, standardized safety signal words and symbols have been developed and incorporated in this manual.

2-2 SAFETY SIGNAL WORDS Safety signal words are the word or words that call attention to a hazard and designate a degree or level of hazard seriousness. The signal words used in this manual are DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION.

The word DANGER in a red box indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

The word WARNING in an orange box indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

The word CAUTION in a yellow box, when used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

The word CAUTION in a yellow box, when used without the safety alert symbol, indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

2-3 NOTES Notes are used to highlight important maintenance information that is provided to facilitate troubleshooting and repair actions. Notes are not used to convey any type of danger or safety information. Notes may appear before or after the affected text or illustration and appear as follows:

NOTE: Do not over-tighten the chain.



2-4 SAFETY SYMBOLS

NOTE: SAMPLE DANGER TAGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE APPENDIX, MAINTENANCE FORMS & SAFETY TAGS.

Figure 2-1. Danger and Condition Tags



Figure 2-2. Battery Disconnect Switch

2-6 GENERAL MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

• Do not make adjustments that you do not understand.

• Do not permit loose clothing or long hair near moving parts.

• Use extreme care if emergency repairs must be made in adverse conditions.

• Do not wear clothing which is contaminated by lubricating oil. Do not put material which is contaminated with oil into the pockets of clothing.

2-7 VITON SEALS

Viton is used by many manufacturers and is a safe material under normal conditions of operation. Some seals used in the engine and in components fitted to the engine are made of Viton.

If Viton is burned, a product of this burnt material is an acid which is extremely dangerous. Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or with the eyes. If it is



necessary to come into contact with components which have been burnt, ensure that the precautions which follow are used:

• Ensure that the components have cooled.

• Use neoprene gloves and discard the gloves safely after use.

• Wash the area with calcium hydroxide solution and then with clean water.

• Disposal of components and gloves which are contaminated must be in accordance with local regulations.

If there is contamination of the skin or eyes, wash the affected area with a continuous supply of clean water or with calcium hydroxide solution for 15-60 minutes. Obtain immediate medical attention.

2-8 USING COMPRESSED AIR SAFELY

• Always wear goggles, face shield, or other eye protection when using compressed air to clean equipment.

• Do not allow compressed air to contact your skin. If compressed air enters your skin, obtain medical help immediately.

• Do not use compressed air to clean dust and dirt from clothing.

• Ensure that the nozzle is equipped with a chip guard.

• Never use compressed air that exceeds 30 psi.

• Hoses should not be strung across floors or aisles where they are liable to cause a trip hazard. When possible, air supply hoses should be suspended overhead.

• Hose ends must be secured to prevent whipping if an accidental cut or break occurs.

• Never point pneumatic tools at a person.

• Do not use compressed air to dry roller bearings. The air can cause the bearing to rotate at an extremely high speed and disintegrate.

• Turn off the air supply before disconnecting a pneumatic tool (unless equipped with a quick-disconnect coupling).

2-9 BATTERY HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE

• If contact with battery acid occurs, administer the following first aid treatment to self or others: – External contact – Flush with water.



– Eyes – Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

– Internal contact – Drink large quantities of water. Follow with Milk of Magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get medical attention immediately.

– IMPORTANT – In case of internal contact, DO NOT give fluids that induce vomiting.

• Disconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical system.

• Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potentially explosive gases. To avoid injury or death when checking, testing, or charging batteries: – DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries. – Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from batteries. – Provide ventilation for flammable vapors. – Wear proper personal protective equipment, including safety glasses.

• Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid which is a poison that can cause severe chemical burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use protective gear when handling batteries.

• DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction. • Wear eye protection when starting a forklift with jump start cables. Improper

jump start procedures can cause the battery to explode. • Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries are

on charge) because the gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially to the eyes.

• NEVER jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode. Let the battery thaw out before charging.

• NEVER jump start the forklift directly at the starter solenoid. This could cause the forklift to lurch forward or backward, resulting in injury or death.

• To avoid injury or death when jump starting with another vehicle, ensure the two vehicles are not touching.

• DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each other near the battery.

• Connect charged battery positive (+) to stalled battery positive (+).

• Connect charged battery negative (–) to stalled forklift ground. Make the connection to the stalled vehicle ground LAST.

• Connect jump start cable to stalled forklift ground a safe distance from the battery to PREVENT sparks near the battery.

• Jump start only with a power source with the same voltage as the stalled forklift.

• Jump start power source must have a negative-ground electrical system.

• To safely carry the current load, jump start cables must be fabricated from 2 AWG cable or larger.

• Electrolyte is an acid and cause injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.



2-10 ENGINE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

• Do not add lubricating oil to the engine when it is running.

• Do not make adjustments to the engine while it is running unless you have been correctly trained to make the adjustments. Use extreme care to prevent injury.

• Do not operate the engine if a safety guard has been removed.

• Do not remove the filler cap or any component of the cooling system while the engine is hot and while the coolant is under pressure. Dangerous hot coolant can be discharged and cause severe burns.

• Ensure that the engine does not run in a location where it can cause a concentration of toxic emissions.

• Operate the engine only when seated in the forklift operator's seat.

• Keep away from moving parts during engine operation.

• Only one person must control the engine.

• Other persons must be kept at a safe distance while the engine is operating.

• Some moving parts cannot be seen clearly while the engine runs. Exercise extreme caution when placing head, hands, and arms in the engine compartment.

• The combustible material of some components of the engine (for example certain seals) can become extremely dangerous when burned. Never allow this burnt material to come into contact with the skin or eyes.

• Turbochargers operate at high speed and at high temperatures. Keep fingers, tools, and debris away from the inlet and outlet ports of the turbocharger and prevent contact with hot surfaces.

• Do not wash an engine when it is running or is hot. If cold cleaning fluids are applied to a hot engine, certain components on the engine could be damaged.

• Use only genuine Perkins Engines Inc. parts. Using substitute parts can damage the engine and may void the warranty. Contact Perkins at 1-888-PERK-ENG or www.perkins.com.



2-11 FUEL HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always clean spilled fuel. Material which has been contaminated by fuel must be moved to a safe place.

• Diesel fuel can damage the skin of certain persons. Protect your hands with gloves or a special solution to protect the skin.

• Do not put fuel in the tank while the engine is running (unless it is absolutely necessary).

• Do not smoke when you put fuel in the tank.

• Ensure that the IGNITION switch is in the OFF position before servicing or repairs are made to the fuel system. Fuel will be pumped out if the fuel lift pump has power applied.

• If your skin comes into contact with high-pressure fuel, obtain medical assistance immediately.

2-12 CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS

• Engine exhaust from the forklift contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

• Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. These chemicals are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

• Discard used lubricating oil in accordance with local regulations to prevent environmental contamination.

2-13 FUNCTIONAL TESTS



• Perform a pre-operation inspection and functional tests at the beginning of each work shift. Perform the pre-operation inspection of the forklift first. DO NOT perform the pre-operation inspection with the engine running or hot. Contact with moving or heated parts can cause injury or death.

• Perform the pre-operation inspection and functional tests in an open area. Inspections and functional tests may require assistance. Keep the assistant visible and a safe distance from the forklift to prevent injury or death.

• Remove forklift from service and comply with the lockout/tagout procedure (para. 2-5) if anything is found to be in need of repair or maintenance, or is defective, or is unsafe in any way.

The safety, efficiency, and service life of your forklift will be increased by performing functional tests at the beginning of each shift. If any of the items in the functional tests are not operating properly or within set tolerances, stop the forklift, follow proper shut-down procedures, tag the vehicle with “DO NOT OPERATE” tags, and have a qualified mechanic service or repair the forklift BEFORE placing it into service again.

2-14 SAFE OPERATION CHECKLIST

Wear the seat belts at all times.

• Contact the appropriate power or utility company to de-energize power lines or take other suitable precautions.

• Keep the forklift, attachments, and loads a safe distance from electrical power lines.

• Stay clear of power lines. Contact with power lines will cause death or severe injury. DO NOT allow forklift or load within 10 feet (3 meters) plus 2 times the line insulator length of any power line. Notify the power company to de-energize the power lines before operating the forklift near the power lines.

• Worksite operating directives and/or local or state codes might require a greater distance.

• Know the maximum height and reach of this reach forklift.



• Failure to follow proper safety procedures when lifting, lowering, and traveling with a load can cause property damage, injury, or death.

• DO NOT exceed forklift capacity. The total rated capacity of the forks being used must equal or exceed forklift capacity. Forks can break or bend causing loss of load and possible injury or death.

• DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s rated load for any auxiliary attachment. Any attempt to lift or carry loads in excess of the manufacturer’s rated load may cause forklift tip over, loss of load, or structural damage which could result in injury or death.

• Failure to keep personnel clear of the load area while the load is being raised or lowered can result in injury or death. DO NOT lift, swing, or move a load over anyone or over a forklift cab.

• Review the rated load capacity of each auxiliary attachment before performing any operation.

• Use the correct load chart and NEVER exceed the maximum load height and reach for the load weight.

• DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s recommended load capacity.

• DO NOT operate the forklift with an unsafe load distribution.

• Adjust the load as necessary, especially for nonstandard loads.

• Use caution when handling loose material that can fall into the cab.

• Remove overhanging load materials, when possible, and watch for sliding material.

• DO NOT reach a load over posts or other objects that can enter the cab, if tipped.



• Avoid sudden stops, starts, or turns. • Avoid carrying a swinging load. If necessary, secure the load by attaching it to

the forklift tie-downs and/or have another person assist with safely steadying the load.

2-17 PICKING UP A LOAD Perform the following procedure to pick up a load with the forklift:

1. Use correct load chart to review rated load capacity of auxiliary attachment being used. NEVER exceed specified weights and load centers.

2. Approach load slowly and squarely with fork tips straight and level. 3. Adjust spacing of the forks so they engage pallet or load at its maximum width. NEVER use just one

fork to lift load. 4. Tilt attachment forward so forks hang freely on fork shaft. 5. Insert forks under load until load is against fork frame. 6. Tilt forks back slightly to secure load.

2-18 CARRYING A LOAD Perform the following procedure to carry a load with the forklift:

1. Carry the load as low as possible while maintaining good ground clearance and visibility.

2. Back away slowly.

3. To travel with a load use first gear (1) for highest torque and pulling power. NEVER travel in third (3) or fourth gear (4) when carrying a load.

2-19 PLACING A LOAD Perform the following procedure to place a load with the forklift:

1. Before placing load, use appropriate load capacity chart to determine safe boom extension range.

2. Set parking brake switch to ON (engaged).

3. Set Declutch switch to ON.

Use of frame sway control with boom raised above horizontal can cause tip over resulting in injury or death. Always use frame sway control to level forklift BEFORE raising boom above horizontal. If forklift cannot be leveled using frame sway control, do not attempt to raise or place load. Reposition forklift or have surface leveled.



4. Use frame sway control to level forklift.

5. Align the forks at the level the load is to be placed.

6. Extend boom slowly until load is just above area where it is to be placed.

7. Lower boom until pallet rests in position and forks are free to retract.

8. Retract forks slowly from under load.

2-20 LOAD SHIFT

If load shifts, take action immediately:

1. Stop forklift immediately.

2. Lower and adjust load to center its weight.

3. If load shift is too great for adjustment, rearrange load before attempting to move forklift.

2-21 PROPER USE OF FORKS

Adherence to the following guidelines will help ensure safe and reliable forklift operation:

• Inspect forks regularly and record the results. A fork inspection log suitable for copying is included in Appendix, Maintenance Forms and Safety Tags.

• Ensure capacity of forks meet or exceed forklift rating and load weight.

• Obtain written approval from the fork manufacturer prior to making any fork modifications.

• Determine the fork wear cycle and replacement schedule for your operation. Use of larger forks in demanding applications will extend fork life.

2-22 PROHIBITED PRACTICES

The following forklift practices are prohibited:

• DO NOT overload forks beyond the rated capacity.

• DO NOT change fork from one lift truck to another without knowing capacities of each.

• DO NOT use fork in an application for which it is not designed.

• DO NOT add a fork extension longer than 150% of the supporting fork’s length.

• DO NOT repair or modify forks in the field, especially by welding. Improper welding destroys heat treatment properties and makes the forks brittle.

• DO NOT carry full or partial loads on one fork.

• DO NOT apply sideways pressure to forks, commonly called side loading. Forks are designed for vertical loading only.



2-23 OPERATOR HAND SIGNALS

It is extremely important that the forklift operator and signalman be able communicate clearly in a noisy environment. Operator hand signals (Figure 2-3) provide a means for communicating in this type of environment, but it is essential that the signals are understood by the operator and signalman. When signals for auxiliary equipment functions or conditions are required, they must be agreed upon in advance. When it necessary to give verbal instructions to the forklift operator, all forklift operation must first be stopped.

4-1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE SAFETY

Use caution when performing maintenance on the forklift. Wear personal protective equipment when appropriate and use danger tags. Carefully follow the maintenance procedures provided in this chapter. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for solvents, cleaners, etc. Read and fully understand the safety information provided in Chapter 2 – Maintenance & Operation Safety, before performing maintenance on the forklift.

4-2 USING A GREASE GUN The following is a general procedure to follow when lubricating grease fittings:

Use caution when loading grease into the gun to ensure that contaminants are not introduced into the grease. If using a cartridge, be careful when removing the metal lid to prevent metal slivers from being introduced into the grease.

1. Load grease gun with extreme pressure, NLGI #2 grease.

Dirt and other contaminants in the grease can cause premature failure of the bearing. Ensure that grease fitting and grease gun nozzle are clean.

2. Clean dispensing nozzle of grease gun with clean cloth. 3. Pump small amount of grease out of dispensing nozzle to ensure that fresh, clean grease will be

used. 4. Clean grease fitting with clean cloth. 5. Inspect fitting for damage. Replace as necessary. Torque grease fitting to correct value.



6. Attach grease gun dispensing nozzle to grease fitting.

A high-pressure grease gun delivers pressure up to 15,000 psi. The maximum pressure rating for forklift grease seals is 500 psi. Excessive applied pressure can damage the seal and lead to early failure.

NOTE: If back pressure is felt immediately when attempting to pump grease into the grease fitting, the fitting may be defective or the grease port and/or path may blocked.

7. Pump grease in front and rear axle cylinder and outrigger fittings until back-pressure is felt at grease gun lever, then stop pumping.

8. Start engine and operate forklift system or subsystem for several minutes. Shut-off engine, then re-grease fittings.

9. Clean excess grease off fitting with clean cloth.

10. After use, store grease gun (unpressurized) in a horizontal position to prevent leakage.

Hydraulic System

Section 8

Hydraulic System



8-2 HYDRAULICS MAINTENANCE SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

• Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin, causing death or extremely serious injury. Amputation of hands and arms is often necessary to prevent death. Relieve hydraulic pressure before removing and installing any hydraulic system component.

• DO NOT use your hand or any part of your body to check for hydraulic leaks. When checking for hydraulic leaks, wear safety glasses and gloves to help provide protection from spraying hydraulic fluid. Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.

• Hot hydraulic fluid can cause severe burns. Wait for hydraulic fluid to cool before performing maintenance on any hydraulic component.


Hydraulic System

• Spilled hydraulic fluid is a combustible and slip hazard material that requires immediate containment and cleaning. Failure to identify the spill, alert nearby personnel, and clean the spilled fluid may result in death or serious personal injury, and damage to equipment and facilities.

Very minute foreign particles, as small as 10 microns, can adversely affect operation of the hydraulic systems. (One micron equals one millionth of a meter.) Use extreme caution to prevent dirt, debris, and other contaminants from entering the hydraulic system.

8-3 HANDLING HYDRAULIC FLUID The following general precautions must be observed when handling hydraulic fluid:

• NEVER allow different categories of hydraulic fluids to become mixed. Chemical reactions may occur; fire resistant fluids may lose their fire resistance; and seals may be damaged.

• NEVER, under any circumstances, service the forklift with a fluid other than Dexron III (AW46 for older units with clear fluid).

• ENSURE that hydraulic fluid and fluid containers are protected from contamination of any kind. Dirt particles may cause hydraulic components to become inoperative, cause seal damage, etc. If there is any question regarding the cleanliness of the fluid, DO NOT use it. Containers for hydraulic fluid must never be left open to air longer than necessary.

• DO NOT expose hydraulic fluid to high temperature or open flames. Mineral-based fluids, such as Dexron III, are highly flammable.

8-4 MAKING LEAK-FREE CONNECTIONS

Some leakage in a hydraulic system is unavoidable. An example of this type of leakage would be the slight amount of fluid found on cylinder rods. However, any leakage reduces efficiency and causes power loss. Factors that contribute to leakage are:

• Hose and tubing installation practices.

• Operating conditions.

• Maintenance practices.

8-4-1 HOSE AND TUBING INSTALLATION PRACTICES

Installing hoses and tubing according to Xtreme Manufacturing maintenance instructions (Figure 8-1) will promote long life of external seals. Vibration or stresses that result from improper installation can shake loose connections. Avoid pinching, cocking, or incorrectly installing seals during hydraulic component installation.

8-4-2 OPERATING CONDITIONS

To ensure correct seal life, the operating conditions of the forklift must be controlled. A shaft seal or piston-rod seal exposed to moisture, salt, dirt, or any other abrasive contaminant will adversely affect a seal. Also, operators should always try to keep their loads within the recommended limits to prevent leakage caused by excessive pressures.


Hydraulic System

8-4-3 MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

Regular filter and hydraulic fluid changes, using high-quality Dexron III hydraulic fluid, adds to seal life. Using an inferior fluid will cause wear on seals and interfere with desirable hydraulic fluid properties. Proper maintenance prevents introduction of contaminants that can damage seals. Never use additives without approval from Xtreme Manufacturing. Manufacturers recommend soaking seals overnight in hydraulic fluid before installation. Do not install seals dry. Before installation, always coat seals with clean hydraulic fluid.

Figure 8-1. Making Leak-Free Connections


Hydraulic System

8-5 KEEPING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CLEAN

The hydraulic system has been carefully designed to keep the hydraulic fluid free of contaminants. See Figure 8-2 for a schematic diagram of the hydraulic filtration system. The filtration system is comprised of the following components:

• Air breather (10 µM absolute).

• Suction strainer (200 µM).

• High-pressure filter (10 µM absolute).

• Return line filter (10 µM absolute).

Note that one micron (1 µM) is equal to one-millionth of a meter. Regardless of how thoroughly the system filters the fluid, it can easily be defeated by poor maintenance practices. To keep the hydraulic system free of contamination, it is essential that the following maintenance practices be followed:

• Clean exterior surfaces of dust, dirt, hydraulic fluid, etc. before removing covers.

• Ensure that new parts are clean before installation.

• Keep parts protected prior to assembly or installation.

• Protect system openings. Use covers, tape, plastic wrap, etc. to cover the openings.

• Keep fluid transfer containers, funnels, nozzles, etc. clean.

9-2 BATTERY SAFETY

• If contact with battery acid occurs, administer the following first aid treatment to self or others:

– External contact – Flush with water. – Eyes – Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention

immediately. – Internal contact – Drink large quantities of water. Follow with Milk of

Magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get medical attention immediately.

– IMPORTANT – In case of internal contact, DO NOT give fluids that induce vomiting.

• Disconnect the battery terminals before a repair is made to the electrical system.


Electrical System

• Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potentially explosive gases. To avoid injury or death when checking, testing, or charging batteries:

– DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries. – Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from batteries. – Provide ventilation for flammable vapors. – Wear proper personal protective equipment, including safety glasses.

• Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid which is a poison that can cause severe chemical burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use protective gear when handling batteries.

• DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction. • Wear eye protection when starting a vehicle with jump start cables. Improper

jump start procedures can cause the battery to explode. • Do not allow sparks or fire near the batteries (especially when the batteries are

on charge) because the gases from the electrolyte are highly flammable. The battery fluid is dangerous to the skin and especially to the eyes.

• NEVER jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode. Let the battery thaw out before charging.

• NEVER jump start the forklift directly at the starter solenoid. This could cause the vehicle to lurch forward or backward, resulting in injury or death.

• To avoid injury or death when jump starting with another vehicle, ensure the two vehicles are not touching.

• DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each other near the battery.

• Connect charged battery positive (+) to stalled battery positive (+).

• Connect charged battery negative (–) to stalled vehicle ground. Make the connection to the stalled vehicle ground LAST.

• Connect jump start cable to stalled vehicle ground a safe distance from the battery to PREVENT sparks near the battery.

• Jump start only with a power source with the same voltage as the stalled forklift.

• Jump start power source must have a negative-ground electrical system.

• Electrolyte is an acid and cause injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. WASH HANDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER HANDLING BATTERY.


Electrical System

9-3 BATTERY DESCRIPTION

The forklift's initial source of electricity is the 12-volt battery. The primary function of the battery is to start the engine. Once the engine is running, the alternator takes over to supply the forklift's electrical requirements and to charge the battery.

The battery consists of layers of positively and negatively charged lead plates that, together with their insulated separators, make up each of six, two-volt cells. The cells are filled with an electricity-conducting liquid (electrolyte). The electrolyte contains approximately two-thirds distilled water and one-third sulfuric acid. Spaces between the immersed plates provide the most exposure to the electrolyte. The interaction of the plates and the electrolyte produces chemical energy that becomes electricity when a circuit is formed between the negative and positive battery terminals.

9-4 BATTERY CABLE DESCRIPTION

The battery cables connect the battery to the starting and charging circuits. Because of the heavy current flow through the cables, the cables are fabricated from size 1 AWG cable. The red cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the black lead is connected to the negative terminal.

Because of the cable's close proximity to the battery it is extremely important to periodically inspect and clean the cables, clamps, and battery posts. Vapors from battery acid causes corrosion to form on the lead surfaces and copper wiring associated with the battery wires. A loose or corroded connection will cause a significant voltage drop. This voltage drop will cause the starter motor to turn slowly or not at all.

10-5 INSPECT BOOM CHAINS


Chain failure can be caused by worn pins, cracked links, corrosion, worn link plates, or chain elongation (stretching). Chain failure can result in:

• Erratic, uncontrolled boom movement and loss of load.

• Vehicle instability and tip over.

• Death, serious injury, and/or property damage.

The comprehensive chain inspection consists of the following tasks:

• A thorough visual inspection.


Boom & Attachments

• Measuring the amount of wear on the edge of a chain link plate.

• Measuring the amount of elongation (stretch) of a 12-inch sample of chain.

NOTE: Because of boom construction, access to the retract chain is very limited. The chain must be inspected by a mechanic through a small inspection opening in the bottom of the boom while another mechanic very slowly extends and retracts the boom. Because of these limitations, it will not be possible to inspect for all the defects listed below. Note however, that the retract chain is very well protected from the environment and that it performs much less work than the extend chain.

10-12 MEASURE FORK FLANK WEAR


Perform the following procedure to measure flank wear:



Special tools and equipment Safety glasses Fork caliper


INITIAL SET-UP




4. Retract boom and lower carriage until forks are about 36" above ground.



NOTE: Fork calipers are calibrated by first measuring the fork shank thickness. On a new fork, the shank and the flank are the same thickness. The fork flank is subject to continuous wear during normal forklift operation. Therefore, comparing the thickness of the flank to the thickness of the shank is an accurate method for gauging flank wear.

NOTE: In accordance with ASME B56.1, forks must be removed from service if flank wear is equal to or greater than 10 percent. A 10 percent reduction in flank thickness reduces load-carrying capacity by 20 percent.

MEASURING FLANK WEAR

1. To calibrate calipers, measure shank (View A) thickness. Set top jaws of caliper by measuring the thickness of the shank. Ensure that the caliper is held square across the shank for an accurate reading. The caliper is now set to measure the fork blade.

2. To check flank thickness, position the bottom jaws of the caliper over the flanks of the fork.

3. If inside jaws of caliper hit fork (View B), the fork has less than 10% wear and can remain in service.

4. If inside jaws of caliper pass over the fork arm (View C), fork must be taken out of service.

10-13 FORK INSPECTION


The following information (in italics) is reprinted from ASME/ANSI B56.1-2000, Inspection and Repair of Forks in Service on Fork Lift Trucks.

6.2.8 INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF FORKS IN SERVICE ON FORK LIFT TRUCKS

(a) Forks in use shall be inspected at intervals of not more than 12 months (for single shift operations) or whenever any defect or permanent deformation is detected. Several applications will require more frequent inspection.

(b) Individual and Load Rating of Forks. When forks are used in pairs (the normal arrangement), the rated capacity of each fork shall be at least half of the manufacturer’s rated capacity of the truck, and at the rated load center distance shown on the lift truck nameplate.

6.2.8.1 INSPECTION

Fork inspections shall be carried out carefully by trained personnel with the aim of detecting any damage, failure, deformation, etc., which might impair safe use. Any fork which shows such a defect shall be withdrawn from service, and shall not be returned to service unless it has been satisfactorily repaired in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2.

(a) Surface Cracks. The fork shall be thoroughly examined visually for cracks and if considered necessary, subjected to a non-destructive crack detection process, special attention being paid to the heel and welds attaching all mounting components to the fork blank. This inspection for cracks must also include any special mounting mechanisms of the fork blank to the fork carrier including bolt type mountings and forged upper mounting arrangements for hook or shaft type carriages. The forks shall not be returned to service if surface cracks are detected.

(b) Straightness of Blade and Shank. The straightness of the upper face of the blade and the front face of the shank shall be checked. If the deviation from straightness exceeds 0.5% of the length of the blade and/or the height of the shank, respectively, the fork shall not be returned to service until it has been repaired in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2.

(c) Fork Angle (Upper Face of Blade to Load of the Shank). Any fork that has a deviation of greater than 3 deg. from the original specification shall not be returned to service. The rejected fork shall be reset and tested in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2.

(d) Difference in Height of Fork Tips. The difference in height of one set of forks when mounted on the fork carrier shall be checked. If the difference in tip heights exceeds 3% of the length of the blade, the set of forks shall not be returned to service until repaired in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2

(e) Positioning Lock (Where Originally Provided). It shall be confirmed that the positioning lock is in good repair and correct working order. If any fault is found, the fork shall be withdrawn from service until satisfactory repair has been effected.

(f) Wear


Boom & Attachments

(1) Fork Blade and Shank. The fork blade and shank shall be thoroughly checked for wear, special attention being paid to the vicinity of the heel. If the thickness is reduced to 90% of the original thickness, the fork shall not be returned to service.

(2) Fork Hooks (Where Originally Provided). The support face of the top hook and the retaining faces of both hooks shall be checked for wear, crushing, and other local deformations. If these are apparent to such an extent that the clearance between the fork and the fork carrier becomes excessive, the fork shall not be returned to service until repaired in accordance with Para. 6.2.8.2.

(g) Legibility of Marking (When Originally Provided). If the fork marking in accordance with Para. 7.25.2 is not clearly legible, it shall be renewed. Marking shall be renewed per instructions from original supplier.

6.2.8.2 REPAIR AND TESTING

(a) Repair. Only the manufacturer of the fork or an expert of equal competence shall decide if a fork may be repaired for continual use, and the repairs shall only be carried out by such parties. It is not recommended that surface cracks or wear be repaired by welding. When repairs necessitating resetting are required, the fork shall subsequently be subjected to an appropriate heat treatment, as necessary.

10-14 MANUALLY RETRACT AND LOWER BOOM

A hydraulic system or engine malfunction may make retracting and lowering the boom impossible. In this situation, the boom can be retracted and lowered by opening manual lowering valves located on the extend cylinder valve block and the left and right boom lift cylinder valve blocks (Figure 10-13). Note that the boom must be above horizontal to accomplish retraction and lowering. Gravity supplies the power required to retract and lower the boom.

Perform the following procedure to manually retract and lower the boom:





DO NOT get under a raised boom unless the boom is blocked up.


Boom & Attachments

RETRACT BOOM

1. Remove four screws and washers from boom access panel (Figure 10-13, Sheet 1).

2. Remove boom access panel.

3. Loosen locknut on extend cylinder manual lowering valve (Figure 10-13, Sheet 2).

4. Turn extend cylinder manual lowering valve adjustment screw counter-clockwise (CCW) until boom starts to retract. Continue turning adjustment screw until a safe retraction speed is achieved.

Failure to turn the manual lowering valve adjustment screw clockwise and tightening the locknut may cause the boom to bleed out.

5. After boom has retracted, turn extend cylinder manual lowering valve adjustment screw fully clockwise (CW) and tighten locknut.

6. Attach boom access panel to boom with four screws and washers.

LOWER BOOM

A possible left or right cylinder failure may cause the boom to lower unexpectedly when the manual lowering valve adjustment screw is turned fully counter-clockwise.

1. Turn manual lowering valve adjustment screw on left boom lift cylinder fully counterclockwise (approximately five turns).

2. Turn the manual lowering valve adjustment screw on right boom lift cylinder counterclockwise until boom starts to lower. The speed at which boom lowers can be controlled by turning adjustment screw clockwise or counterclockwise.

3. After boom has been lowered, close left and right manual lowering valves by turning adjustment screws in fully clockwise. (With valves closed, boom will operate normally when original hydraulic system or engine malfunction has been repaired.)
