WARNING

SAFETY

!

WARNING

The proper and safe lubrication and maintenance for this lift truck, recommended

by Cat lift truck, are outlined in the OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL for these trucks.

Improper performance of lubrication or maintenance procedures is dangerous and could result in injury or death. Read and understand the OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL before performing any lubrication or maintenance.

The serviceman or mechanic may be unfamiliar with many of the systems on this truck. This makes it important to use caution when performing service work. A knowledge of the system and/or components is important before the removal or disassembly of any component.

Because of the size of some of the truck components, the serviceman or mechanic should check the weights noted in this Manual. Use proper lifting procedures when removing any components.

Following is a list of basic precautions that should always be observed.

1. Read and understand all warning plates and decals on the truck before operating, lubricating or repairing the product.

2. Always wear protective glasses and protective shoes when working around trucks. In particular, wear protective glasses when pounding on any part of the truck or its attachments with a hammer or sledge. Use welders gloves, hood/goggles, apron and other protective clothing appropriate to the welding job being performed. Do not wear loosefitting or torn clothing. Remove all rings from fingers when working on machinery.

3. Do not work on any truck that is supported only by lift jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks or jack stands to support the truck before performing any disassembly.

!

WARNING

Do not operate this truck unless you have read and understand the instructions in the OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL. Improper truck operation is dangerous and could result in injury or death.

4. Lower the forks or other implements to the ground before performing any work on the truck. If this cannot be done, make sure the forks or other implements are blocked correctly to prevent them from dropping unexpectedly.

5. Use steps and grab handles (if applicable) when mounting or dismounting a truck. Clean any mud or debris from steps, walkways or work platforms before using. Always face truck when using steps, ladders and walkways. When it is not possible to use the designed access system, provide ladders, scaffolds, or work platforms to perform safe repair operations.

6. To avoid back injury, use a hoist when lifting components which weigh 23 kg (50 lb.) or more.

Make sure all chains, hooks, slings, etc., are in good condition and are of the correct capacity. Be sure hooks are positioned correctly. Lifting eyes are not to be side loaded during a lifting operation.

7. To avoid burns, be alert for hot parts on trucks which have just been stopped and hot fluids in lines, tubes and compartments.

8. Be careful when removing cover plates. Gradually back off the last two bolts or nuts located at opposite ends of the cover or device and pry cover loose to relieve any spring or other pressure, before removing the last two bolts or nuts completely.

9. Be careful when removing filler caps, breathers and plugs on the truck. Hold a rag over the cap or plug to prevent being sprayed or splashed by liquids under pressure. The danger is even greater if the truck has just been stopped because fluids can be hot.

10. Always use tools that are in good condition and be sure you understand how to use them before performing any service work.

11. Reinstall all fasteners with same part number. Do not use a lesser quality fastener if replacements are necessary.

12. If possible, make all repairs with the truck parked on a level, hard surface. Block truck so it does not roll while working on or under truck.

13. Disconnect battery and discharge any capacitors (electric trucks) before starting to work on truck.

Hang “Do not Operate� tag in the Operator’s Compartment.

14. Repairs, which require welding, should be performed only with the benefit of the appropriate reference information and by personnel adequately trained and knowledgeable in welding procedures.

Determine type of metal being welded and select correct welding procedure and electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld metal strength equivalent at least to that of parent metal.

19. Tighten connections to the correct torque. Make sure that all heat shields, clamps and guards are installed correctly to avoid excessive heat, vibration or rubbing against other parts during operation.

Shields that protect against oil spray onto hot exhaust components in event of a line, tube or seal failure, must be installed correctly.

20. Relieve all pressure in air, oil or water systems before any lines, fittings or related items are disconnected or removed. Always make sure all raised components are blocked correctly and be alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes pressure.

21. Do not operate a truck if any rotating part is damaged or contacts any other part during operation. Any high speed rotating component that has been damaged or altered should be checked for balance before reusing.

22. When handling the parts containing asbestos, be careful not to inhale the asbestos. Doing so is hazardous to your health.

15. Do not damage wiring during removal operations.

Reinstall the wiring so it is not damaged nor will it be damaged in operation by contacting sharp corners, or by rubbing against some object or hot surface. Place wiring away from oil pipe.

If the shop dust may contain asbestos, follow the precautions described below.

16. Be sure all protective devices including guards and shields are properly installed and functioning correctly before starting a repair. If a guard or shield must be removed to perform the repair work, use extra caution.

c.

17. Always support the mast and carriage to keep carriage or attachments raised when maintenance or repair work is performed, which requires the mast in the raised position.

18. Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and hydraulic lines, tubes and hoses can cause fires. Do not bend or strike high pressure lines or install ones which have been bent or damaged. Inspect lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Do not check for leaks with your hands. Pin hole (very small) leaks can result in a high velocity oil stream that will be invisible close to the hose. This oil can penetrate the skin and cause personal injury. Use cardboard or paper to locate pin hole leaks.

a.

Do not use compressed air for cleaning.

b. Do not brush or apply grinder on asbestos containing materials.

To clean asbestos containing materials, wipe with moistened cloth or use a vacuum cleaner with particle filter.

d. If you have to handle the parts containing asbestos for a long time, be sure to do it in a well-ventilated area. e.

If the asbestos in the air cannot be removed, wear a mask.

f.

Be sure to observe the working rules and regulations.

g. When disposing of materials with asbestos, be sure to observe the environmental protection regulations of your area. h. Avoid working in the atmosphere where asbestos particles may be suspended.

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

Precautions to be taken when handling FC system The FC system is controlled by a microcomputer in the controller. As the microcomputer is a delicate electronic component, take the following precautions when handling and inspecting the FC system.

(1) When removing the controller cover, take proper precautions to keep out all moisture such as rain and splashing water.

(2) After using the controller setting function, check to make sure control system is within truck specifications.

208084A

NOTE Improper setting of the system will result in the inability to lower the forks in an incremental manner.

(3) Before performing repairs which require welding, be sure to disconnect the battery plug and the controller from the system at its connectors.

(4) When handling the controller by hand, never touch its electrical terminals, or the static charge from your body will rupture some of the electronic elements in the internal controller circuits.

Description The FC system, unlike the conventional mechanical control, is electronically actuated to reduce the effort required of the operator in moving the control levers for lift, tilt and attachment functions.

101466A

• This system provides the following safety functions: (a) The lift, tilt and attachment functions are not performed even if the control levers are moved when the emergency switch is in ON (pushed) position.

(c) The system indicator light in the LED section alerts the operator to problems occurring in the electrical system and, at the same time, stops function. (If any problem occurs in the lift system, for example, the system becomes inoperative.)

(b) The lift, tilt and attachment functions are not performed even if the control levers are moved when the seat switch is not ON (the operator is not seated).

2-15

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

Operating Principles (1) The system is activated by turning OFF (pulled, not pushed) the emergency switch when the key switch and the seat switch are ON (when the operator is seated).

(2) As the control levers (joysticks) are moved to operate the equipment (mast and forks), the amount of lever movement will be translated into an electrical signal; this signal goes into the controller where it is converted to an output signal. At this point the controller issues an ON signal to increase the pump motor speed, thereby hydraulic pressure will be introduced into the control valve. The system is now ready to actuate the equipment. The output signal is applied to the proportioning solenoid, selected by the direction of the joystick movement. Inside the control valve of the solenoid, the spool valve is forced to slide, altering the internal oil passage that directs the oil to the corresponding cylinders. The spool keeps on sliding until it comes to the position where the pressure of its pilot chamber becomes equal to the force of its centering spring. In the meantime, the cylinder extends or retracts against its load. As the joystick is moved back to its neutral position, the signal to the proportioning solenoid decreases in order to lower the pilot chamber pressure and allow the centering spring to push the spool to its neutral position, whereby the line to the cylinder shuts off. The pressure in the line is now trapped, holding the cylinder in place. At the same time, the motor speeds lowers and the part of the system actuating the equipment goes into a no-load state.

(3) Supply power to the controller is initiated from the Power Relay through a 10-Amp fuse. Pressing the emergency switch shuts down the output to solenoids.

How to Set Controller (Setup Option Setting)

Failures resulting from incorrect setting

Set the controller on any of the following occasions:

(1) Incorrect setting for truck size (2.5 ton, 3 ton) or incorrect model setting

Occasions:

(a) An incorrect setting will result in abnormal lowering speed and inching feel. If a setting for a 2.5 ton model is made on a 3 ton model, for example, the lowering speed will be abnormally low. If a setting for a 3 ton model is made on a 2.5 ton model, the lowering speed will be abnormally high.

• After the mast has been changed, or an optional equipment added.

• After the controller assembly has been replaced.

How to set: See the “Setup Option Setting” section in the “Controller Service Manual GROUP 1 CONTROLLER”.

(2) Incorrect setting for number of control valve spools

General Precautions:

(a) If the setting made for the number of spools is greater than the actual (FAULT lamp lights and error code is displayed), the equipment does not operate.

(1) Use low air pressure to clean electrical equipment (controller, motor, battery, cable, etc.). If using steam, do not blow it directly on the equipment.

(2) When the counterweight back door is removed, make proper measures to keep out rain.

(Regarded as open-circuit in control valve solenoid or joystick.)

(3) After using DRS (Diagnosis Run Set) switch, recheck the switch setting.

(b) If the setting made for the number of spools is less than the actual, only the devices equal to the number of set spools will be actuated.

(4) The controller containing the microcomputer should never come into contact with water. When the cover is removed, take proper precautions to keep out all moisture such as rain and splashing water.

(3) Incorrect setting for mast (a) A setting for a dual-stage full free mast or triple-stage full free mast on a truck with dualstage panoramic mast will not affect the lowering speed.

(5) In case of some welding work on the frame or body, disconnect the battery from the power supply line.

And disconnect the controller from the system by undoing all connectors. If the welding job has to be performed near the controller position, remove the controller from the truck.

(b) If the setting is made for dual-stage panoramic mast on a truck with dual-stage full free or triple-stage full free mast, the lowering speed of the 1st lift cylinder will be abnormally low.

This setting will not affect the lowering speed of the 2nd lift cylinders.

(6) Your body could pick up a large static charge.

Keep this in mind when you handle the controller by hand: never touch its electrical terminals, or the static charge from your body will rupture some of the electronic elements in the controller's internal circuit.

Troubleshooting 1. Preparatory steps

(1) The system receives supply power when the battery connector is connected, the key switch is turned to the ON position, and the emergency switch is turned OFF (pulled, not pushed). The finger-tip control becomes operable after the seat switch closes (when operator is seated).

(2) Before deciding to replace a blown fuse, make sure the harness connectors in the power line are all in good condition.

(3) The use of the test-use connector (special tool) is recommended for checking the connector-to-connector lines for continuity and for reading the voltage across two terminals and the ohmic resistance of a line.

(4) When coupling or uncoupling a connector, make sure that the key switch is turned OFF and the battery connector is disconnected. Never try to forcibly insert or pull off the connector, or its pins will be damaged.

When coupling a connector, be sure that the inserted half snaps into its self-locking position.

(5) Before starting troubleshooting work, check to be sure that the conditions indicated in the following table are met on the machine side.

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS 2. How to move the mast in an emergency

If the truck fails during operation, and you have to drive it (if the engine is OK) or tow it to some distant place like the repair shop, follow the instruction below.

!

CAUTION

Before doing these steps, be sure that there is no one standing under the mast.

(1) Mast lowering (a) Loosen lock nut 1 on the lift section of the control valve. (b) Using an Allen wrench, slowly loosen screw 2.

This causes the mast to go down by gravity: tighten screw 2 and the mast will stop. (c) Tighten lock nut 1.

!

CAUTION

Leaving nut 1 loose is dangerous: the mast might suddenly start descending by gravity.

(2) How to cope with a failed (open-circuit) seat switch.

Your troubleshooting investigation might reveal that the seat switch is an open-circuit or otherwise faulted and will not function.

In such a case, you can create a temporary circuit through the seat switch wiring. The method is explained in this illustration. The seat switch is a safety part. Be sure to replace it with a new one as soon as possible.

Two connectors are in the seat switch line at the indicated location; Open these connectors, and couple up the male and female connector halves to form a circuit bypassing the seat switch.

CAUTION

Illustrated above is a band-aid method permissible only in an emergency situation. Be sure to restore the seat switch line to the normal hookup after replacing the failed switch.

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS 3. How to clean harness connectors and system components

(1) Open-circuit troubles are often due to dirty harness connectors and components. Dust, together with greasy matter forms grime, which in time penetrates electrical connections resulting in loose metal-to-metal contact or electrical separation of contact surfaces. For this reason, it is essential that the connectors and components be cleaned at each periodic inspection and at the time of servicing the truck. Instead of a commonly used solvent, use the electronic parts cleaner (in the manner illustrated on the right).

Electronic parts cleaner

205046A

Three Bond 29D or Pow-R-Wash CZ*

NOTE The cleaner liquid is volatile. All you have to do is just give a strong spray to wash off grime. No need to wipe off the sprayed liquid.

(2) After checking the connector for continuity, wash it as shown. Then, uncouple the connector and spray the contact surface activator onto contact surfaces. Now, install and remove the connector several times to wet the surfaces thoroughly with the activator liquid. After coupling up the connector, check to be sure that it is correctly locked.

Contact surface activator

Three Bond 2501S (aerosol) or Nyogel 760G*

NOTE Do not spray too much: bear in mind that this spray liquid reacts with some resins (plastic materials). * : Products contained in Terminal Maintenance Kit (SE000003).

The power train mainly consists of the following three units.

Right wheel brake Left axle shaft Left wheel hub Left wheel brake

differential gear system is a device that makes it possible; it detects the difference in turning resistance between inside and outside wheels being turned and automatically differentiates the number of revolutions between them accordingly.

1) Drive motor 2) Transfer and differential assembly 3) Front axle assembly

The power transmitted to the output gear is then sent to the differential gear assembly 3. When the vehicle is turning, the right axle shaft 4 and left axle shaft 7 rotate at different speeds. The power distributed to the right axle shaft 4 is transmitted to the right front wheel by way of the right wheel hub 5.

These units are connected to each other internally through splines and gears to transmit driving power and externally through cases joined together with bolts to form a power train assembly.

The power train assembly is secured to the vehicle frame with bolts at the front axle supports.

The power distributed to the left axle shaft 7 is transmitted to the left front wheel via the left wheel hub 8. When the vehicle is running in a straight direction, its left and right wheels are equal in turning resistance and therefore no speed difference occurs between them.

The output of the drive motor 1 is first transmitted to the input gear shaft of the transfer gear 2. The transfer gear 2 is a 3-stage reduction gear. At each reduction stage, the motor output is decreased in the gear speed and increased in the turning torque in inverse proportion before transmitted to the output gear (bolted to the differential gear) of the final reduction stage.

Each of the left and right wheel hubs 5, 8 is provided with a wheel brake drum. In the brake drum is housed the internal expansion duo-servo type wheel brake 6, 9.

The gears used are noise-free helical gears for quiet vehicle operation.

For further information about the structures of individual components and system operation, refer to the relevant sections.

To allow the vehicle to make a curve smoothly, outside wheels must turn faster than inside wheels. The 3-1
