Troubleshooting & Corrective Maintenance 1- 1

Bendi IC Forklift Operator’s Manual 1-2

Troubleshooting This chapter contains troubleshooting procedures to help diagnose and solve problems. Once the problem is isolated you must refer to Chapter 3, Corrective Maintenance for the repair instructions.

Troubleshooting procedures are arranged as: · Curtis Drive Controller Problems · Hydraulic Problems · Brake Problems · Electrical Problems · Audible Problems · Visible Problems, including battery troubleshooting

Preliminary Procedures · Thoroughly review the problem with the operator so you have a complete description of what is wrong. · Check the operator’s driving practices and operating procedures to see if operator error could be the problem.

If you suspect operator error, review the operating procedures with the operator, or have the operator read the B3 Series Operator’s Manual (F-492-___) provided with each truck. · If you are sure it is operator error, return the truck to service and see that the operator is properly retrained before being allowed to drive the truck. · Check the planned maintenance log to make sure that the log is up-to-date and the problem is recorded. If it is not, or if there is no log, begin one and start by performing an planned maintenance inspection of the truck (See Appendix A of the B3 Series Operator’s Manual (F-492-___) and the B3 Series Planned Maintenance Manual (F-444-___). · After the problem has been corrected, operate the truck again to verify the repair and to ensure there are no additional problems. If no other problems exist, return the truck to operation. If other problems are found, troubleshoot and repair them before returning the truck to operation.

Troubleshooting & Corrective Maintenance 2-1

Troubleshooting

Curtis Troubleshooting Drive Controller Problems If misoperation on the truck occurs, you must hook up the 1311 handset to the system controller to find the fault(s). Or, troubleshooting of the motor controller can be done with a computer laptop using a Curtis computer interface. (Landoll p.n. 145405) With the status code number, follow the procedures outlined in the status codes instruction manual to determine the problem and corrective action (See Electrical System on page 3-74 for handset information and the Appendix in the B3 Series Service Manual (F-446) for further information on the 1244 Motor Controller, 1254 Hydraulic System Controller, and the 840 Display.

Corrective Maintenance

Tools Needed The tools required to service the B3 Series lift truck are those found in a well-equipped service center, in both English and Metric sizes. For example, an assortment of open-end and box wrenches, socket and Allen wrenches with drivers, adjustable wrenches, flat blade and Phillips head screw drivers, and non-marring type mallets should be available.

Additionally, you should carry a flashlight and drop light, brake adjusting wrench, feeler gauges, a calibrated torque wrench and a standard ohm meter, analog or digital.

Before You Begin When it becomes necessary to do an electrical or mechanical service repair or maintenance procedure, it is important to review and practice the following safety suggestions.

Warning You could be injured and the truck could be damaged if you try to do service work without qualified experience.

If you use the wrong grade replacement parts, in time, they can break or loosen. Serious injury could occur. It is recommended to use Landoll replacement parts before you attempt any truck maintenance. · Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Many are specifically rated; that is, SAE Grade 5, SAE Grade 8, ISO Prop Class 8.8, etc., and must be replaced with the identical type. · Whenever possible, return the truck to a service area having sufficient lighting, work space and an assortment of tools needed to complete the repair. · Set the key switch to OFF and place the key in your pocket. · Set the direction control lever to NEUTRAL and set the parking brake.

CAUTION To be certain the truck will not move, place wedges (or blocks of wood) at the front and back of the tires. If you are servicing the brakes or tires, place the block at the front and rear of the tire farthest away from the one being serviced, that is, the tire on the opposite side of the truck and at the opposite end. · Disconnect the battery. · Never place a tool or any metal object on top of the battery where it could possibly touch battery terminals causing a short or serious electrical shock.

2. Open compartments or covers as necessary for easy access.

Troubleshooting & Corrective Maintenance 3-3

Corrective Maintenance

Electrical Static Discharge Normal precautions concerning the handling of metaloxide semi-conductors (MOS) components are applicable in order to minimize the risk of damage to these devices by ELECTRICAL STATIC DISCHARGE. This entails avoiding contact with the pins of the devices.

Any external clothing, overalls, etc. manufactured of nylon or a similar material must not be worn as they are capable of reaching extremely high voltage potentials caused by friction during normal wear.

Use a grounding wrist band to protect microprocessors from static electricity and always touch a metal surface (other than the truck) before touching a PCB.

Cleaning and Inspection · Always clean all metal parts with a de-greasing-type cleaner solvent and wipe dry with a clean shop rag. · Allow parts to air dry. · Do not allow cleaning solvent to come in contact with rubber parts or rubber insulation, such as electrical wiring, seals, etc.

IMPORTANT !

Cleaning solvents can be TOXIC and FLAMMABLE. Pay particular attention to all WARNING labels provided by the solvent manufacturer, such as, protection during use, personal health precautions and ventilation to avoid breathing vapors. · For non-metal parts, clean using a mild soap solution, shop vacuum for dust and loose dirt and a dust pan and brush. · Inspect all parts thoroughly for breaks, cracks, tears, burrs, scoring, warping or sharp edges, glazing, rust pitting, flat spots, etc. Notify your immediate supervisor of all defects and record it in the truck log book. · Inspect all screws and hardware for stress marks, breaks, cracks, thread defects, etc. · Replace all damaged or questionable parts. · Take care to properly identify and tag each part and its order of removal. If necessary, keep notes and put markings on parts using a non-destructive marker, such as a felt-tipped pen.

12. Mark the push rod lock nut setting, then remove the yoke and lock nut from the old cylinder and install it to the new cylinder, maintaining the same lock nut setting.

Note: The push rod lock nut should be installed so that when the pedal is completely retracted, the yoke to the master cylinder crank plate hardware is loose, when it is completely assembled.

Note: Whenever the master cylinder is removed and/or replaced, the hydraulic brake system must be bled. The time required to bleed the system can be reduced and made easier if the master cylinder is filled with brake fluid and bench-bled before installing the cylinder into the truck (See "Bench Bleed the Master Cylinder," on page 3-43).

13. Replace the new master cylinder in reverse order.

IMPORTANT! Brake fluid will damage paint. Cover all body parts and be careful not to spill fluid during this procedure. Wipe up any spilled fluid immediately, then flush the area with clean water.

Troubleshooting & Corrective Maintenance 3-42

Corrective Maintenance Bench Bleed the Master Cylinder Since high pressure is not involved in the bench bleed procedure, your finger can be used to plug the cylinder hole and prevent air intake.

1. Support the cylinder (in a vise) to prevent fluid spillage while allowing you to push the internal piston with the push rod (See Figure 3-24).

2. Remove the filler cap and fill the cylinder with DOT 3 brake fluid.

3. Slowly push in on the rubber boot and cylinder plunger (push rod) assembly to force air from the cylinder, then hold the push rod in (See Figure 3-24).

4. Press your finger tightly over the master cylinder outlet port to prevent air from being drawn back into the cylinder when you release the push rod, or feed a separate line (flexible tubing) from the cylinder port(s) and immerse the other end in the container of new brake fluid.

Wait several seconds to allow fluid to be drawn from the reservoir to the cylinder bore, then repeat this step. When you push the push rod in again it will force your finger from the master cylinder outlet port to expel any trapped air (See Figure 3-24).

Place rags under the brake line fitting to soak up any fluid loss.

5. When only brake fluid is expelled from the master cylinder outlet port, hold the push rod in and seal the master cylinder outlet port with an appropriate threaded plug or plastic cap, then release pressure on the push rod.

6. Fill the master cylinder reservoir and install the filler cap and gasket.

Troubleshooting & Corrective Maintenance 3-43

Corrective Maintenance Bleeding Brakes Bleeding the brake system is necessary to remove any air that is trapped when replacing brake lines, wheel cylinders or the master cylinder. To avoid extensive damage to the system, use only DOT 3 brake fluid.

WARNING Wear eye protection. If brake fluid comes in contact with your eyes, immediately rinse them with water and seek medical attention.

Check the fluid level often during the bleeding operation and add fluid as needed to prevent the level from falling low enough to allow air bubbles into the master cylinder.

Use only fresh (new) DOT 3 brake fluid. NEVER use old or used brake fluid. It contains moisture which will deteriorate the brake system components.

It is necessary to bleed both wheels if air has entered the system due to low fluid level or if a brake line has been disconnected at the master cylinder or at the tee fitting.

If the brake pedal feels spongy when pressed and goes almost to the mechanical stop but regains height when pumped, air has entered the system. The system must be bled. If no fittings were recently opened for service, check for leaks that would have allowed air into the system and repair leaks before attempting to bleed the system.

Have an assistant handy, as well as a supply of brake fluid, an empty container, a length of 3/16” (4.763 mm) clear plastic or vinyl tubing to fit over the cylinder bleeder fitting and a six point wrench to open and close the fitting.

WARNING DO NOT allow fluid to run down the inside of the brake caliper and onto the brake pad. It will contaminate the brake lining material causing an unsafe brake condition and unnecessary repair.

1. First, review “Before You Begin,” page 3-2.

2. Set the key switch to OFF and place the key in your pocket.

3. Apply the parking brake and disconnect the battery.

4. Block the wheels so that the truck cannot move.

5. Start with the right wheel as viewed from inside the driver's compartment (the wheel farthest from the master cylinder).

6. Loosen the bleeder fitting slightly, then tighten it to a point where it is snug but can be loosened quickly and easily.

Troubleshooting & Corrective Maintenance 3-44

Corrective Maintenance 7. Fit a length of tubing over the bleed screw and immerse the other end in the container of new brake fluid. Check that the tubing fits tightly over the bleeder fitting (See Figure 3-25).

8. Check fluid level in the master cylinder. Fill as needed before you begin.

9. Have someone slowly press on the brake pedal several times to build pressure in the system, then hold the pedal down.

IMPORTANT !

Be careful when handling bleeder screws. Rust may cause the fitting to easily break off if forced. Installing a new bleeder screw may include overhaul. Spray the fitting with penetrating oil before attempting to loosen it to help prevent problems.

Figure 3-25 Bleeding Brakes

10. Loosen the cylinder bleed screw until fluid starts to flow. Watch for air bubbles at the immersed end of the tube.

11. When the brake pedal bottoms, tighten the bleed screw, then release the pedal. DO NOT release pressure on the pedal until the bleed screw is tightened.

12. Repeat Steps 8 through 11 as many times as needed until the fluid draining in the container is free of air bubbles.

13. Check the master cylinder fluid level and fill as needed before beginning the other side.

14. Check the operation of the brakes. The pedal should feel solid when depressed, with no sponginess. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

Corrective Maintenance Hydraulic Control Valve Assembly General Individual directional control, pressure valve assemblies and gauge ports (for psi readings) are located on the hydraulic control valve or the steering control valve manifolds. The hydraulic control valve manifold is located behind the control valve cover plate.

The following procedure explains how to replace a specific valve should a sluggish or sticking valve spool be suspect.

IMPORTANT !

If you remove the valve from the truck for servicing (hex head screws and hardware), when reinstalling the valve be certain to tighten the mounting screws in a staggering fashion while applying equal pressure to all screws. If the screws are not tightened and torqued evenly, you could create a stress crack, thus internal oil leaks, rendering the valve defective.

The main hydraulic pump for lift, tilt, pivot, and shift (mast functions) is a single cavity pump (5 gpm). System pressure varies from 2,650 psi, ±65 psi (183 bar, ± 4 bar) minimum, up to 3,000 psi, ±65 psi (206 bar, ±4 bar) maximum. Actual pressure is determined by mast size, load requirements and lift speed.

Check with your Landoll service representative for actual setting.

The main pump pressure relief valve is located on the hydraulic control valve.

A pressure gauge port is provided, with a “quick-coupler,” (pressure service kit, Landoll p/n: 0018152) for reading the main pump pressure (See Figure 3-33).

Note: Before you service this valve for possible pressure problems, make sure there are no leaks in the hydraulic system and that there is sufficient oil in the tank. Both conditions can contribute to low pressure problems.

(Also see "Mast Systems," in the B3 Series Operator's Manual (F-492-___) for additional circuit information.)

Electrical System Curtis Electrical Control Panel This section explains the electrical of the B3 Series and defines calibration, updates, adjustments, and replacements of the panel including drive controller, and the pump controller. The 1309 Serial Dongle Interface, the 1311, and the 1314 can be used to perform parameter adjustments (See Figure 3-54).

The 1254 is the hydraulic controller used in the system. The 1244 is a single traction controller.

1309 Parameter Install Tool The ParamDownloader Tool (Landoll PN 149411) is used to install a new parameter and data block in the Curtis motor controllers.

The controller model shown should be the same as that specified in the update folder.

Although adjustments can be done with the 1311 handset, Landoll recommends using the Curtis 1314 software package. This allows technicians to flash new parameters and install the latest updated codes into the Curtis controllers.

Figure 3-54 Model 1311 Handset

The 1311 handset (See Figure 3-54) is used to program and troubleshoot the 1244 motor controller and the 1254 hydraulic system controller. The 1311 gets it's power from the controller that it is plugged into and boots up after being plugged into the J3 port located on the monitored controller. The lift truck technician is aided by the liquid crystal display (LCD), the four-way selector switch, the +/- rocker switch, and the bookmark memory switches found on the 1311 handset. Data between the 1311 handset and the host controller is asynchronous. The 1311 handset supercedes the previous 1307 model.

Directions for use 1. Make sure the J3 connector of the controller is clean and is unobstructed from other wires or objects that could pinch the cord of 1311 handset programmer.

2. With the forklift key "on", plug the cord of the 1311 handset into the J3 plug of the controller. (See Figure 3-55) 3. Wait a few seconds for the 1311 handset to go through the initial boot-up. Upon completion, the curser will highlight the "Program" mode.

4. The technician is now ready to troubleshoot or adjust the parameter settings of the Landoll lift truck. Refer to pages 3-78 through 3-83 for controller parameters.

Corrective Maintenance Rotation Seals and Bearings 11. Slide a medium sized, long handled Phillips head screw driver through the cotter pin hole into the threaded portion of the rotation shaft. This prevents the shaft from dropping out the bottom and provides a handle for lifting.

12. From the bottom, remove the roller pin shaft retainer and hardware. This single pin secures the shaft to the bottom of the front plate weldment yoke.

13. To remove the rotation shaft from the rotation arm assembly, you must align all the parts to allow the shaft to be pulled up and out. The overhead crane on the mast may have to be raised or lowered a fraction of an inch to free the shaft.

14. With the shaft removed, roll the front plate weldment, mast assembly far enough away from the rotation arm assembly to allow for safe working conditions while servicing the bearings and the seals.

CAUTION Make sure the front plate weldment and mast assembly is stable I its location and secured to the overhead crane.

15. As you separate the front plate from the rotation arm, the lower bearing spacer may fall out. Immediately put in a safe place to avoid damage.

16. Remove the upper and lower seals and bearings 17. Use solvent to remove all traces of old grease from the bearings, rotation arm inner race and the rotation shaft. Allow the parts to air dry.

18. Carefully inspect the bearings for cracks, heat discoloration, worn rollers, etc. Check the upper and lower bearing races for wear and/or damage. If there is any doubt about the condition of these parts, replace them.

IMPORTANT! If a race is damaged, it must be replaced and it is good practice to replace both the upper and the lower at the same time. A portable hydraulic press (come-along) is preferred. The new race installation must be done carefully to maintain a level, parallel alignment between the upper and lower race.

Corrective Maintenance Hints for Reassembly · Pack the bearings with high-temperature bearing grease making sure the grease penetrates the rollers, cone and cage from the back side. Apply a thick coat of grease to the seal outer surfaces. · If the races are replaced, make sure they are properly seated against their machined stop within the rotation arm frame. · To install the rotation shaft, you must align all the parts. The overhead crane may have to be adjusted a fraction of an inch to allow the shaft to slide in place. · Remember to install the bottom spacer before you roll the front mounting plate/mast assembly back into place. · Starting at the top of the assembly, carefully install the rotation shaft. Align the shaft bottom through hole to the hole in the front plate weldment yoke. · Install the hex screw and hardware. Tighten and torque accordingly. · Install the top portion of the assembly. Tighten and torque accordingly. · Apply additional grease at the two grease fittings.

Corrective Maintenance Hydraulic Fittings and Hoses 1. Set the key switch to OFF and place the key in your pocket.

2. Disconnect the battery and block the wheels.

Warning Before disconnecting any hydraulic fittings or hose assemblies, relieve the system pressure, down to zero (0) psi. This is accomplished by turning the steering wheel a few times in both directions, and moving the control levers in both directions after the key switch is turned OFF. HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC OIL LEAKS CAN PIERCE THE BODY AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY TO PERSONNEL. ALWAYS REDUCE PRESSURE BEFORE OPENING ANY HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LINE. Oil is slippery and can cause falls. To avoid injury, wipe up spilled oil with shop rags, or apply an oil-dry and clean up after it has soaked up the spill.

3. Remove the hose coupling from the defective fitting. Use two wrenches; one wrench to loosen the hose coupling, and one to prevent the fitting from turning (See Figure 3-63).

Have rags handy to soak up any oil spillage.

4. Always tag the hoses and fittings for identification. If necessary, keep notes and put markings on parts using a non-destructive marker, such as a felt-tipped pen.

5. Remove the defective fitting and replace with a new fitting. Use two wrenches; one wrench to tighten the hose coupling, and one to prevent the fitting from turning (See Figure 3-63).

Note: SAE fittings do not need a thread sealant. They are straight thread and include an O-ring seal.
