Operating Instructions for Standard On Board Style Battery Charger (for DC models equipped with our On Board Charger) WARNING! ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Working with or near lead acid batteries is dangerous. Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases. A battery explosion could result in loss of eyesight or serious burns. The On Board charger is current limited and will not exceed its rated output, even if loads are placed on the battery while the battery is charging.

HYDRAULIC OPERATIONFOR AC/DE When the operator wants to raise the unit, he/she depresses the UP button. This starts the electric motor which turns the hydraulic pump. Oil from the reservoir is drawn in through the suction filter and into the pump. The pump delivers pressurized oil through a check valve before it enters the cylinders.
PAGE 7
Air Bleed Procedure If the forks descend very slowly or will not descend at all, air is likely trapped in the hydraulic circuit and must be bled from the system. The High Rise Lift Truck utilizes a bleeder screw at the top of the cylinder. To bleed air from the hydraulic circuit, follow these directions. 1.) 2.) Loosen the bleeder screw at the to of the cylinder approximately 1/4 to 1/2 turn to allow trapped air to escape. Depressed the foot pump treadle or job the motor to push the out of the system.

HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT Trouble Shooting Quick Reference Guide (For further information contact the factory) Observation Possible Cause Remedy 1.) a. Voltage at motor terminals may be too low to run pump at existing load. a. Measure voltage at motor terminals or as near as possible, while pump is running under load. If voltage is sufficient, check for inadequate or incorrect wiring as this can starve the motor. (Refer to chart in Owner's Manual for recommendations.) Correct as necessary. b.

Observation Possible Cause Remedy 4.) "Spongy" or "Jerky" table operation. Do not confuse spongy operation with small surges caused by foreign material on table wheel roller plate. a. Fluid starvation. a. See 1(d), (f), (g), (j). b. Air is trapped in cylinder. b. See air bleed procedure on p.7. Forks lower too slowly when loaded. a. Down Valve filter clogged. a.
