Ι.Safety Rules for Operation and Daily Maintenance of Forklift Truck
It is important that driver and manager for forklift trucks remember the principle of the
“first safety” and ensure the safety operation as the description in 《 OPERATION &
MAINTENANCE MANUAL》 and 《OPERATOR'S MANUAL》.
1.Delivery of Forklift Truck
It must be pay attention to the following items when you deliver forklift trucks with
container or trucks.
(1)Apply the parking brake.
(2)Fix the mast and the balance weight with steel wire. Wedge up all wheels.
(3)Sling points should be always at the positions specified in sling index plate when
hoisting up the forklift truck.
2.Storage of Forklift Truck
(1)Drain off fuel completely. Don’t drain off the cooling water containing antifreeze and
rustproof agent.
(2)Apply antirust to the surface of the parts not painted. Apply lubrication oil to the lift
chain.
(3)Lowing the mast to the lowest position.
(4)Apply the parking brake.
(5)Wedged up the wheels.
3.Precautions Before Operation
(1)Don’t check fuel leakage and lever or instruments at the place there is open flame.
Never fill the fuel tank with the engine running.
(2)Check the tire inflation pressure.
(3)The forward-reverse lever should be in neutral.
(4)Never smoke while the fuel system is under working or the
battery is inspected.
(5)Check all the levers and pedals.
(6)Complete the provisions before starting.
(7)Release the parking lever.
(8)Make trying operation of the mast for lifting, lowing and
Fwd/Bwd tilting and the truck for steering and braking.
4. Operation of Forklift Truck
(1)Only trained and authorized operator shall be permitted to
operate the truck.

-1-
(2)Wear all the safety guards, such as shoes, helmet, clothing and gloves while operating
the truck.
(3)Check all the control and warning devices before starting the truck. If any damages or
defects are found, operate it after repairing.
(4)At the rated loading center, either overload or overload operation is strictly prohibited.
If the goods is placed at non-rated loading center, the capacity is decided according to load
curve graph. The center of goods should be in line with the frame center, not out of the line.
The fork should insert completely under the goods and make the goods placed on it evenly. Do
not raise an object with one fork end.
(5)The starting, turning, driving, braking and stopping operation of the truck should be
done smoothly. When steering on the humid or low friction road, the truck should be
decelerated.
(6)Travel with loads as low as possible and tilted backward.
(7)Be careful when traveling on a slope. When climbing grades with a slope of more than
10%, the truck should forward travel, and when descending so grades, backward travel. Never
turning on a slope. Avoid loading and unloading operation when descending.
(8)Pay attention to pedestrian, obstacle and bumpy road when driving. Pay attention to
the clearance over forklift truck.
(9)Never allow any persons to stand on the forks or the truck to carry persons.
(10)Never permit anyone to stand or walk under upraised forks.
(11)Don’t operate truck and attachment of it at any position out of the drive seat.
(12)On the high lift forklift truck, when the lift high more than 3m, it is noted that the
goods on it should not fall down or the protection measures must
be taken if necessary.
(13)Tilt the mast of the high lift forklift truck as backward as
possible while the truck working. Use minimum forward tilt angle
and Min. reverse tilt when loading and unloading.
(14)Be careful and slowly driving over a dock board or
bridge-plate.
(15)Shut down the engine and don’t stay on the truck when
filling fuel. Don’t ignite the engine while checking battery or fuel
lever.
(16)The unloaded forklift truck with attachments should be
operated as a loaded truck.

-2-
(17)Don’t handle unfixed stacked goods. Be careful to bulky goods to be handled.
(18)If leaving the truck, lower the forks on the ground and let the shift lever to neutral,
shut down the engine or cut down electric supply. If parking on a slope is unavoidable, apply
the parking brake and block the wheels.
(19)Don’t open the radiator cap when the engine is warm.
(20)Don’t adjust the control valve and relief valve at all to prevent the damage of
hydraulic system and its components because of excessive pressure passing them.
(21)Tyres should be inflated according to the pressure valve specified in the mark plate of
“Tyre Pressure”.
(22)According to the measure method specified in JB/T 3300, max. noise at the outboard
of the truck should be not more than 89 dB(A).
(23)Be familiar with and pay attention to the functions of the decals that on the truck.
★During use and maintenance of the forklift, the operator must pay attention to the
narrow space around such mobile parts as at both sides of the tilt cylinder, outer mast
and so on to avoid being hurt due to clipping.

1.2 Inspection and Adjustment of Engine


1.2.1 Air Cleaner
(1) Remove element.
(2) Check the element. If it is dirty, it should be blown with low pressure from inner to
outer; if it is damaged, it should be replaced with a new one.
(3) Clean up the cap of dust-collector.
1.2.2 Oil Filter
★Be sure that the engine has stopped before changing the oil filter.
(1) Remove the filter element with the spanner specially used for the filter.
(2) Apply a thin layer of machine oil on the washer of the renewed filter element.
(3) Please screw on the new filter element by hand because undue screwing may deform
the rubber washer.
(4) After the filter element is changed, the level of machine oil will usually drop a little.
So, please check if the oil leakage comes from the sealing place and be sure to affirm the oil
level with relevant rule and then feed the oil to the stated mark.
1.2.3 Cautions on Cooling System
Cooling system which is filled with HELI exclusive coolant free from maintenance
normally before leaving the factory is used to cool engine and hydraulic powered transmission
-25-
unit (hydraulic powered type forklift truck). The coolant filled in the truck can not only protect
against freezing above -35℃, but also protect the cooling system from corrosion, scale-
forming and increase the coolant boiling point remarkable. So the coolant concentration will
not be reduced even in the warm season or area because of water replenishing. If greater anti-
freezing protection is needed considering climate, please contact with local HELI sales
network for HELI exclusive coolant with greater anti-freezing ability.
(1) If the radiator appears “boiling” or excessive coolant temperature, it is prohibited
strictly to open the radiator cover immediately. Do as the following:
(a) Park the truck at a safe area;
(b) Keep the engine idling and open the engine hood to keep good ventilation;
(c) Shut off the engine when the water temperature indicator points to the normal range;
(d) Check the following points when the engine is cool completely:
● Check if the coolant lever is correct;
● Check if the fan belt is loose;
● Check the engine oil quality and oil level;
● Check if the radiator is clogged;
● Check if the thermostat can open normally;
(2) Use HELI exclusive coolant in order to keep the engine and cooling system in good
condition. Change it once a year. If the coolant is bad in less than one year, change it when
necessary. When changing the coolant, clean the interior of the cooling system. The freezing
point of the coolant should be 10℃ lower than the lowest environment temperature. Cautions
on replacing the coolant:
(a) Wait 30 minutes after shutting off the engine.
(b) Remove the cap and loosen the draining switch of the radiator.
(c) Loosen the draining switch of the engine and drain all the
coolant.
(d) Tighten the above two draining switches.
(e) The speed of the adding is lower than 2l/min.
(f) Let the engine running in idle speed for a while after
topping up and assure the water level of tank stays its correct
position.
(3) Check the cooling water level of the tank, if the water
level is lower than the mark “low”, it should be added the correct
coolant according to the following demand to the correct level. The
water level should be higher than the mark “high” when the engine
is warm, and the level should stay the position of 2/3 of whole
height when the engine is cold.
Fig.1-1 Tank
-26-
(a) Replenish the coolant with HELI exclusive one only when the engine is cool when
necessary avoiding engine damage.
(b) If there is no HELI exclusive coolant in an emergency, never add any additives. Add
water only and contact with local HELI sales network for proper mixture as possible.
(c) Use new HELI exclusive coolant when replenishing. It is prohibited to add hard water
such as tap water, mineral water, river water, well water to the cooling system avoiding
radiator corrosion or scale forming which will reduce radiator performance and service life.
(4) Adjust the fan belt tension:
(a) Loosen the fixing bolts of the generator.
(b) Adjust the fan belt tension by moving the generator. Press the fan belt by applying
10kg pressure with fingers, the specified belt flexibility is about 10mm.
(5) It is prohibited to contact the radiator core directly with sharp hard objects such as if
the core is dirty. Clean it with water flow or air flow with the following set pressure value.
Keep the mouth against the radiator core.
Water flow pressure: no higher than 0.49MPa (5kgf/cm²);
Air flow pressure: no higher than 0.98MPa (10kgf/cm²).
(6) Coolant storage notes:
(a) Avoid direct contact with the coolant which is bad for health;
(b) Store the coolant in proper sealed container because the coolant steam is harmful.
Make sure to keep it out of the reach of children because there is a danger of poisoning;
(c) Once the coolant goes to eyes, please wash with water and see a doctor;
(d) See a doctor immediately once the coolant is drank carelessly;
(e) Never use the coolant drained from the truck again. Place the coolant drained from the
truck in a special container and deal with environmental rules.       
1.2.4 Bleeding
▲Diesel Engine
(1) Fill the injection pump chamber with diesel fuel by moving the hand pump up and
down.
(2) Press 5-10 times again when the feeling of pressing is heavy.
1.2.5 Maintenance of the Engine
The details of the adjustments and maintenance of the engine refer to the each operation
and service manual.

1.3.2 Fuel Sensor
The fuel sensor is designed to convert the remaining amount of fuel into electric current.

Fig.1-3 Fuel Sensor

The rheostat made of alloy steel wire is linked with a float. As the float moves up and
down, the electric current is changed by the resistance’s changes.
The fuel meter of G series truck is double sheets metal construction, the range of the
meter finger is determined by the current scale which get across the
heat element of the double sheets metal. The current value is the
biggest when the float is in the highest position, (The resistance
value is about 9.5 to 11 at this time), and the fuel meter’s finger
refers to the “F” which means the fuel level is full. On the other
hand, the “E” means the fuel level is empty.
1.3.3 Maintenance of the Fuel System
Maintenance should be conducted once for the fuel system
according to the following method after it works 100 hours and it
should be also cleaned once every 600 working hours.
(1) Oil-water separator fixed on the fuel tank is used to filter
the fuel supplied to the engine. The diesel filter also plays the role

-30-
of separating water from oil.
(a) The whole oil-water separator should be changed after it works 600 hours.
(b) Inject drops of fuel around the seal ring of new filter and put it on. After the ring
touches the filter, screw it on 2/3 circle further.
(c) As the filter alarm light is turned on, loosen the draining switch to drain all the water.
Note:Be sure to shut the draining switch after water is drained completely.

2.1.1 Charging System
This system contains generator, battery, charging indicator, etc. It supplies current for all
the electric appliances. Voltage: 12V.
2.1.2 Starting System
This system mainly consists of automatic pre-heating unit
(only diesel engine), key switch, starting protection circuit, starting
motor, etc. The function of this system is starting the engine.
2.1.3 Electro-hydraulic Gearshift System
This system mainly consists of electro-hydraulic control
valve, direction switch and control box etc.
Working principle: To start up the forklift, direction switch
(shown in Fig.2-1, part 1) must be shifted to “OFF”, at this time,
the circuit safeguarding the start-up circuit is switched on in
control box (part 5). If the direction switch is not at “OFF”, the

-32-
control box turns off the start-up circuit and the engine cannot be initiated. It is because of the
design of a protective circuit for safe start-up. Push the direction switch forward and the
electromagnetic valve (part 3) in control valve is thus energized and then the valve spool
operates opening up the oil circuit in advancing direction. As the forward clutch works, the
drive gears engage and the power is outputted to drive the forklift forward. If the direction
switch is pulled backward, the electromagnetic valve (part 4) in control valve is accordingly
energized and then the valve spool reacts in reverse direction opening up the oil circuit for
backing. As the reverse clutch works, relevant reversing shaft gears engage and the power is
outputted to drive the forklift backward. At the meantime, the light and buzzer for backing are
turned on through the control box (part 5).

2.2 Brief Explanation for Operation


2.2.1 Starting
There is a starting protection circuit in the control box for the forklift truck. You have to
shift the direction switch in neutral before you start the engine. Otherwise, you can’t start the
engine.
Turn the key switch clockwise to the first “on” position, the instrument circuit and the
firing circuit are ready for work. For diesel engine, the automatic pre-heater begins to work
and the pre-heating indicator lights. The pre-heating indicator automatically stops lighting after
3.5 seconds and the pre-heater automatically stops working after 13.5 seconds. The pre-heating
time is controlled by a time relay.
Turn the key switch clockwise to the second “on” position (starting position), then start
the engine.
After engine starting, push the direction switch forward (that
is in forward gearshift), then pedal accelerator, the forklift truck
runs faster and you can begin to work. When pull the direction
switch backward (that is in reverse gearshift), the backing lamp is
on and the buzzer sounds.

pressure and you must stop working and check the lubricating system as soon as possible.
2.2.7 Oil-water Separator Signal
Before you start the engine, put the key switch to the first “on” position and the oil-water
separator alarm lamp is on. After engine starting, the oil-water
separator alarm lamp is automatically off. If this lamp becomes on
while the engine is working, it means too much water has been
accumulated in the oil-water separator. You should push the handle
in the oil-water separator to get rid of the water. After eliminating
the water, this lamp becomes off.
2.2.8 Fuel Meter
It indicates how much fuel is left in the fuel tank. If it displays
fewer than two bars, it means little fuel is left in the fuel tank and
the buzzer sounds. You should replenish the fuel tank as soon as
possible.
2.2.9 Water Temperature Meter

-35-
It indicates the temperature of the coolant for the engine.
2.2.10 Hour Meter
It indicates how many hours the engine has worked.
2.2.11 “Neutral” indicator lamp
As direction switch is shifted to “neutral”, relevant indicator lamp on the instrument panel
will be turned on; as the direction switch is positioned at the gear “forward” or “reverse”, the
indicator lamp will be turned off.
2.2.12 Pre-heating indicator lamp
As the key switch is turned to span 1 (electrifying span) clockwise, the instrument and
ignition power source will be switched on and the pre-heating indicator lamp will shine. The
engine (only diesel engine) is thus preheated automatically, the pre-heating indicator lamp will
be turned off automatically 3.5 seconds later, and the time of pre-heating will be under control
of time relay (also called timer) and lasts to 13.5 seconds.
2.2.13 Oil-water separation indicator lamp

lamp shines on the instrument panel.
2.2.21 Engine stops
Turn the key switch to the position “OFF”, the engine will stop working automatically.
2.2.22 Automatic monitoring system for the engine
The instrument has the function of automatically monitoring the engine. Electronic
monitoring system located inside the instrument can monitor the operation conditions of the
whole engine at any time and achieve data acquisition and processing based on input signals
from meters, sensors and pressure switches etc. As a datum reaches relevant limit, the alarm
unit will be initiated for grade 1 lighting warning or grade 2 acoustic-optic warning, reminding
the driver of stopping working for checking.
Grade 1 warning: Grade 1 warning signal will be given and relevant indicator lamp will
shine in case of one of following conditions:
(a) Over-high engine temperature;
(b) Over-high temperature of cooling liquid;

(2) Each of two hydraulic clutches is provided with four pairs of steel plates and paper
friction pieces specially-treated, so as to improve the durability of friction pair.
(3) Both one-way overrun clutches in the torque converter are used to increase the
efficiency for power transmission.
(4) High quality of oil filters is helpful to increasing the life of the torque converter.
3.2 Torque Converter
The torque converter mainly consists of an impeller, a turbine and a stator.
The liquid, from the impeller driven by an input shaft, is jetted along its leaves to leaves
of the turbine to transmit the torque to the output shaft (i.e. Mechanical energy is changed into
kinetic one). And the flowing direction of the liquid from the turbine wheel is changed by the
stator to cause a part of the liquid return to the impeller at an angle and produce so large
reaction torque driving the stator that the value of output torque is more than that of input
torque by the value of the reaction torque. When the turbine speed keeps on increasing up to
near speed of the impeller, the change rate of the flow angle slows down and the value of the
output torque keeps on decreasing until the liquid flows into the leaves of the stator in opposite
direction. When original reaction torque acts in the opposite direction, the torque value of the
output shaft is less than that of the input shaft. To prevent this, a one-way overrun clutch is
fitted in the stator, causing the stator freely rotate in this case.
The way of torque-converting can be used to ensure efficient and smooth work of the
torque converter.
The torque converter, filled up with the torque converter oil, in the drive unit is driven by
an engine through a spring plate and flywheel on the engine. A charging pump is driven by a
driving gear which is splined to the impeller. The oil for the torque
converter and the transmission is supplied by the pump. The power
is transmitted to the transmission through a turbine shaft splined to
the turbine.

3.3 Hydraulic Clutch (Fig.3-3)


Both hydraulic multi-piece clutches of wet type are fixed on the input shaft of the
transmission. The pressure oil is supplied to the forward or the backward clutch through a
control valve to achieve the forward or the backward travel of the
truck. All of gears in the transmission are normally meshed. Every
clutch consists of four spacers (part 10) and four friction pieces
(part 9) assembled alternately and a piston. On the inner and the
outer circles of the piston are seal rings for sealing the piston. In
the neutral, the piston is still and the spacers and the friction pieces
are disengaged each other. When shifting, the oil pressure acts on
the piston and the spacers and the friction pieces are engaged each
other to form an integral so that the power from the torque
converter is transmitted to the forward driving gear (part 3) or the
backward driving gear (part 4).
The power from the torque converter is transmitted to the

3.4.3 Adjusting Valve


It is positioned between the inching valve and the operation slide valve. The adjusting
valve comes to work as soon as the operation slide valve is opened, so as to reduce the shock
from the engagement of either clutch.
3.4.4 Relief Valve
The relief valve connected with the transmission case keeps
the oil pressure in the torque converter within 0.5-0.7MPa to
prevent air corrosion.
3.4.5 Inching Valve
It is fixed in the outside of the transmission. Its spool is
connected with a connection rod of the inching pedal. When the
pedal is stressed, the spool moves to right, and the oil pressure in
the clutches is lowered temporarily to get the inching of the truck
(Fig.3-5).

3.5 Transmission Case


It is used to contain the input shaft, the output shaft, etc. and serve as an oil tank. There is
an oil filter (I) of 150 meshes in specification at the bottom of the case to filter the oil from the
charging pump. The oil filter (Ⅱ) for the pipeline, the oil inlet cover and the dip stick are all
fixed at the top of the case cover.
3.6 Charging Pump (See Fig.3-6)
The charging pump between the torque converter and the
input shaft of the transmission is a gear pump driven by the turbine
shaft concluding a pair of inner meshed gears for the purpose of
feeding the oil to the torque converter and the transmission.
3.7 Hydraulic Circuit (Hydrodynamic Transmission Type
Drive Unit) (SeeFig.3-7)
After the engine is started, the charging pump inhales the oil
from the oil tank (i.e. transmission case). The pressure oil from the
pump serves two parts for hydraulic clutches and torque converter.
The oil necessary to operate the hydraulic clutches is divided
into two circuits through the pressure valve (set pressure of 1.1-
1.4MPa):one circuit flowing to the torque converter via. a relief

In the neutral, the circuit from the operation slide valve to the clutches is intermitted, and
the pressure valve is opened to let the oil only flow into the torque converter. When the
operation slide valve lies at its forward or backward position, the circuit from the operation
slide valve to either the forward clutch or the backward clutch is closed accordingly, thus
causing corresponding clutch come to work. When a clutch is at work, another must stop
working, i.e. its spacers and friction pieces must be disengaged each other and be lubricated
and cooled. When the inching valve is operated through stressing the inching pedal, a part or
most of the oil in the clutches flows into the oil tank through the inching valve rod. The oil
circulation for the torque converter then is the same as that in the neutral.
3.8 Towing Disabled Truck
The followings should be done when the torque converter type truck to be repaired is
towed by other truck:
(1) Remove the half-shaft from the front wheel.
(2) Shift lever should be placed in the neutral.

3.10 Reduction and Differential
The reduction gear located in the front of the transmission is used to reduce the speed and
increase the torque from the output shaft of the transmission and impart them to the
differential. It consists primarily of a small spiral bevel gear on the output shaft and a pinion
shaft splined with a big spiral bevel gear. Both ends of the pinion shaft are supported by
tapered roller bearing. Several shims are installed between the case and bearing covers to
adjust the clearances between them.
The differential is housed in the front portion of the case of the differential the front end
of which is connected with the axle housing. The differential case is of spliting type. The
differential includes two half shaft gears and four planet gears. The thrust washers are installed
between the differential case and each gear and between gear pairs to keep a proper clearances
between them. The planet gears are supported by planet gear shaft I and Ⅱ. The shaft I and
ring gear (1) are fixed to the differential case respectively with knock pin and bolt.
The power from the transmission is transmitted through the reduction gear, differential,
half shaft gear and half shaft to driving wheels.

5.1 General Description


The steering system mainly consists of steering handwheel, steering frame, driving shaft
and steering unit. The steering handwheel is connected with steering unit through the driving
shaft. The steering frame can tilt forward or backward to a suitable position ensuring the
driver’s easy control of the steering handwheel. Load-sensing powered steering system has a
priority valve fixed on its circuit ensuring the priority being given to it in sharing the flow for
adequate oil supply on any working conditions. As the steering unit
is maintained in middle position, less flow will pass the unit, thus
saving energy for the system.

Fig.5-1 Steering and Operating Device

5.2 Cycloid Gear Type Powered Steering Unit


(1) The powered steering unit (Fig.5-2) can transmit the
pressure oil from the flow-divider by pipes to the steering cylinder
in terms of the rotating angle of the handwheel. When the engine
stop running, the charging pump will not work, in this case a man-
powered steering should be adopted.
(2) Load-sensing steering system consists of pump, priority
valve, load-sensing steering unit, steering overflow valve and
system overflow valve. Steering circuit and other working circuits
do not interfere with each other. Priority is given to steering circuit

7.1 General Description


The braking system is the front two-wheel braking type consists of a master cylinder,
wheel brakes and braking pedal mechanism. It is classified into the dynamic and the manual
due to the difference in power source for braking. Dynamic braking has its power sourced from
high-pressure oil produced by gear pump and manual braking is powered from the operator’s
treading force.

-64-
Fig.7-1 Dynamic Braking System

Fig.7-2 Manual Braking System


7.1.1 Braking Pedal
The braking pedal unit is mounted on the front panel through
bracket as shown in Fig.7-1 and Fig.7-2. When the pedal moves, it
push the rod to course the piston moves and the pressure of the oil
circuit increased.
7.1.2 Master Cylinder

-65-
To oil inlet of brake
Oil inlet To oil tank

to flow-divide inlet of steering unit

Fig.7-3 Master Cylinder of Dynamic Braking System

The master cylinder of dynamic braking mechanism stores high-pressure oil sourced from
gear pump inside its body and the excessive pressure oil returns to the oil tank through oil-
return mouth. As the steering unit of the truck begins to work, the pressure oil flows from the
pump to it, reducing the oil-return flow. As the operator steps on the braking pedal, the braking
valve inside the pump is pushed open and some of pressure oil flows to the brake, at this time,
the flow toward steering unit reduces and the operator will feel a slight increment in turning
force. If there exists damage to the engine or gear pump, the operator still can tread the pedal
for braking because the hydraulic oil stored in the pump body is pushed into the brake by the
piston, thus stopping the running truck awaiting repair.
(2) Master cylinder of manual braking system
The cylinder contains valve seat, check valve, return spring, primary cup, piston and
secondary cup, which are all kept in place with a stop washer and a
stop wire. The exterior of the cylinder is protected from dust by
means of a rubber dust cover. The piston is actuated through the
push rod by operation of the braking pedal. As the braking pedal is
pressed, the push rod pushes the piston forwards. The brake fluid in
the cylinder flows back to the reserve tank through the return port
until the primary cup blocks up the return port. After the primary
cup passes through the return port, the brake fluid in the cylinder is
pressurized and opens the check valve, flowing through the brake
pipeline to the operating cylinder. Thus, each operating cylinder
piston is forced outwards. This brings the friction pieces on the
brake shoes into contact with the brake drum and slows or stops the

-66-
truck. Meanwhile, the cavity caused behind the piston is filled with brake fluid led through the
return port and inlet port. When the brake pedal is released, the piston is forced back by the
return spring. At the same time, the brake fluid in each operating cylinder is pressurized by the
return spring, returning into the master cylinder through the check valve. With the piston in its
original position, the fluid in the master cylinder flows into the reserve tank through the return
port. The brake fluid in the brake pipelines and operating cylinders has a residual pressure
proportioned to the set pressure of the check valve, which makes each operating cylinder
piston cup securely seated to prevent oil leakage and eliminates a possibility of air locking
when the truck is sharply braked.

(1) Braking operation
The braking operation in the truck’s forward travel is as follows: see Fig.7-6. The primary
and secondary shoes are respectively forced by a force equal in value and contrary in direction
each other, by operation of the operating cylinder to bring the friction piece in contact with the
brake drum. The primary shoe forces the adjuster with the aid of friction force between the
friction piece and the drum. Due to this, the adjuster pushes the secondary shoe by the larger
force than that offered by operation of the operating cylinder. The secondary shoe upper end is
forced strongly against the anchor pin, providing large braking force. On the other hand, the
braking operation in the truck’s reverse travel is performed in reverse order, but the braking
force is the same as that in the case of the truck’s forward travel.

Forward Travel Backward Travel


Fig.7-8 Braking Operation

(2) Parking brake


The parking brake is of mechanical, internal expansion type
and built in the wheel brake. It shares the brake shoes and brake
drum with the foot brake. As the parking
brake lever is pulled, the parking pull rod is
actuated through the brake cables. The
parking pull rod pushes, in turn, the parking
push rod to the right with the aid of the pin
as a fulcrum, forcing the secondary shoe
against the brake drum.

Fig.7-9 Parking Brake

-71-
(3) Clearance self-adjuster
The clearance self-adjuster keeps suitable clearance between the friction piece and drum
by itself. The construction is shown in Fig.7-10 and 7-11. This adjuster, however, actuates only
when the truck in reverse travel is braked. There are two different clearance self-adjusters.
(a) Clearance self-adjuster for 2 and 2.5 ton trucks
The adjuster actuates only when the truck in reverse travel is braked. The secondary shoe
come into contact with the brake drum and rotate together. As a result of this, the parking pull
rod turns right around the point A so that the point B of the rod raises. After releases the brake
pedal, the parking pull rod turns left with the spring force so that the point B of the rod lowers.
As the clearance between the friction piece and the brake drum increases, the rotating
vertical distance of the pawl by point B increases too. When the clearance is more than 0.4mm,
the adjuster is dialed a teeth and the adjusting lever becomes longer, so that the clearance
decreases.
Clearance adjusting range: within 0.4 to 0.45mm.
(b) Clearance self-adjuster for 1 to 1.8 ton and 3 to 3.5 ton trucks
The adjuster actuates only when the truck in reverse travel is braked. The secondary shoe
come into contact with the brake drum and rotate together. As a result of this, the parking pull
rod turns right around the point A so that the point B of the pawl dials the teeth of the adjuster.
After releases the brake pedal, the brake shoe return to the original position and the parking
pull rod turns left around the point A so that the point B of the rod lowers. When the clearance
increases, the adjuster is dialed another teeth.
Clearance adjusting range: within 0.25 to 0.4mm.

8.1 General Description
The hydraulic system is mainly composed of dynamic mechanism, actuating mechanism,
operating mechanism and auxiliary unit. High-pressure oil flows out of the main pump
entering control valve and is herein divided into two parts by flow divider: one part is sent to
lifting or tilting cylinder and the other at a constant flow to the braking valve and steering unit
for dynamic braking and controlling steering cylinder. As the lifting and tilting spool valves
stay at the neutral position, high-pressure oil directly returns to the oil tank through the
passage. As the lifting spool valve is pulled, high-pressure oil passes through throttle valve to
the lifting cylinder to push forward the plunger rod. As the lifting spool valve is pushed, the
lower part of plunger of the lifting cylinder links to low pressure descending the plunger rod
by its own weight or goods weight. At this time, oil flowing out of the lifting cylinder passes
through the throttle valve having control of the descending speed. As the tilting spool valve is
operated, high-pressure oil flows into the front chamber of the tilting cylinder and the other
side links to low pressure making the mast fulfill backward or forward tilting action. The
working principle of the hydraulic system is as shown in Fig.8-1(manual braking) and Fig.8-
2(dynamic braking).
8.2 Maintenance of the Main Parts
8.2.1 Main Pump
The gear pump used for the forklift has a pair of external-engagement gears and the
working principle is as shown in Fig.8-3. A pair of engaged involute gears is fixed inside the
housing of the pump with the two end faces of the gears being sealed up. The gears divide the
housing into two airtight oil chambers - sucking chamber and draining chamber. When the gear
rotates arrow-wise as shown in the figure, the volume increases on
the right forming vacuum there, under the
air pressure, the tank oil passes through
the oil suction pipe of the pump into the
sucking chamber, filling in the inter-tooth
space. With the rotation of gears, the
inter-tooth space of each gear brings oil Press oil Suction oil

from right to the left chamber, increasing


the oil pressure in the left and the oil is
outputted from the oil press opening. As
the gear wheels rotate continuously, the
pump will keep sucking and draining oil Fig.8-3 Working Principle of the Gear Pump
-86-
The main pump consists mainly of a pump body, a pair of gears, lining plates and snap
rings. This pump uses pressure-balance type bearings and a special lubrication method so as to
minimum the clearance of the gear face.

8.2.2 Control Valve


The control valve (2 spool type) consists of four valve
housings, two spools, one relief valve and one flow divider. The
four valve housings are assembled together with three stud bolts
and nuts. The tilt spool valve consists a tilt lock valve.

The high pressure oil discharged
from the pump returns to the oil tank
through the mid-passage.

(b)Pushing-in of Spool (Fig.8-7)


In this time, the spool is pushed Fig.8-6 Neutral Position
in to close the mid-passage. This
causes the oil from the main oil inlet
to push up the inlet check valve and to
flow into the port “B”. The return oil
from the port “A” flows through the
low-pressure passage to the oil tank
and the spool is restored to its neutral
position by the return spring. Fig.8-7 Pushing-in Position

-88-
(c) Drawing-out of Spool (Fig.8-8)
With the mid-passage closed, the oil
from the main oil-inlet pushes up the
check valve and flows into the port “A”.
The return oil from the port “B” flows
through the low-pressure passage to the
oil tank. The spool can be restored to its
neutral position by return spring.
Fig.8-8 Drawing-out Position
(2) Tilt-lock valve
Tilt spool valve housing contains a tilt lock valve. The tilt lock valve is intended to
prevent vibrations of the mast resulting from the negative pressure in the tilt cylinder and also
to avoid danger incurred from mishandling of the spool. On the conventional model, even if
the engine is not running, the mast can’t be tilted forward by actuating the tilt lever. But this
newly adopted tilt-lock valve does not allow the mast to tilt forward when the engine is at rest,
even if the tilt lever is pushed with a full load.

(b) Push-in state of the spool valve


(of the pump at work) (Fig. 8-10) Fig.8-9 Neutral Position
As the spool valve is pushed in, oil
coming from the pump enters into
cylinder through relevant interface “B”.
Additionally, oil returning from the
cylinder enters into the spool hole “A”
and the follow-up valve works. So, the
returning cylinder oil passes through valve
spool holes “A” and “B” backs into
cylinder along the low-pressure passage. Fig.8-10 Tilt Forward

-89-
(c) Push-in state of the spool
valve (of the pump not at work) (Fig.8-
11)
As the pump stops working, spool
valve is pushed in, there is no oil
flowing into the cylinder interface “B”
and pressure at part “B” does not rise.
Consequently, the follow-up valve
does not work; oil at the cylinder
interface “A” cannot go back to Fig.8-11 Tilt Backward
cylinder and the cylinder is inactive.

(3) Relief valve and flow divider (See Fig.8-12)


The relief valve consists of main valve and proceeding valve. When the spool of the
control valve is operated, chamber linked with the operating cylinder is filled with high-
pressure oil. The high-pressure oil affects proceeding valve through throttle hole. If the system
pressure is higher than the setting pressure, the proceeding valve will be opened to make the
pressure lower and thus causes the main valve to move right, then the oil may directly flow to
low-pressure passage and reduce the pressure of the high-pressure chamber. In this way, the
system pressure may keep unvaried. The setting pressure may be adjusted by adjusting the
screw of the relief valve.
The construction of the flow divider is quite simple. It is of direct overflow type, and
ensures the constant pressure of the power steering system by
balancing the oil pressure with fixed spring force. When turning,
gets through with the high-pressure passage. If the oil pressure is
higher than the spring force, the poppet moves right, causing the
high-pressure oil to flow directly to the low-pressure passage and
keeping the pressure of the power steering system unvaried. The
setting pressure is adjusted by the adjusting screw.
Poppet is a balance type spool valve and may move right of
left according to the variety of the Oil flow and pressure passing
through it to change the opening of two chambers and ensures the

(4) Setting pressure


Do not adjust the pressure of the main relief valve at will. If necessary, you first loose the
lock nut, and then adjust the adjustive screw. When you turn the screw left, the pressure goes
down. When you turn the screw right, the pressure goes up. After you get the pressure that you
need, screw down the lock nut.
8.2.3 Operating of the Control Valve
As shown in Fig.8-13, all the spool valves of the control valve
are operated through levers that are mounted on a connecting shaft
fixed on the support plate via bracket. The bracket is mounted at
the right side of the forklift frame and the action of the lever is
transmitted to the spool valve via a connecting rod.

Cautions for the installation and operation of control valve:

-92-
(a) Before the mounting the control valve, the cushion and sleeve must be mounted inside
the plate hole of the bracket.
(b) When the control valve is mounted, the bolt must be screwed tight in order to prevent
the damage to the safety valve and joint etc.
(c) The cushion assembly shall be firstly mounted before the lever is mounted, after that
the operating levers pass through the slot holes on cushion assembly in turn from left to right
(the operating levers are mounted in turn from up to down), fix the operating levers onto the
valve rod of the control valve, then mounted it with the connecting shaft and get it fixed.
(d) The first and second pieces of handle mounted are used for lifting and tilting
respectively, the third and fourth for attachments and the corresponding handles should be
mounted according to the attachments. When mounting each handle, adjust well each height
and then use nut to screw tight.
8.2.4 Lifting Cylinder
The lifting cylinder is of plunger type, which consists of cylinder body, plunger &
plunger rod, cylinder cover, cut-off valve and sealing parts etc., (refer to Fig. 8-14) The
cylinder cover is equipped with bushing and oil seal to support plunger rod and prevent the
dust from entering. When the lifting spool valve of the control valve is put at the rising
position, the hydraulic oil shall move from flow divider to control valve and enter into the
cylinder. The oil liquid shall push the plunger rod to rise through pressure difference and thus
the goods is then lifted. When the lifting spool valve of the control valve is put at descending
position, the combined functions of the self-weight of goods, mast, lift bracket and plunger
will cause the plunger rod to descend and the hydraulic oil is pressed back to the oil tank. As
there is cut-off valve being mounted at the cylinder bottom (refer to
Fig.8-15), if the mast is lifted, the breaking of high-pressure pipe
can play the role of protection.

Cut-off Normal
Fig.8-15 Cut-off Valve

▲Working Principle of the Cut-off Valve


When moving back to oil tank the pressure oil in the lifting cylinder will pass through
holes A hole and B on the valve spool. If the flow velocity of the oil that passes the hole is less
than the set value of the valve, the pressure difference between the front and back of the valve
spool shall be less than the spring force. At this moment the valve spool stands still and the
slide valve does not act.
If the flow velocity that passes the valve spool exceeds the set value due to the breaking
of high-pressure pipe or other reasons, the pressure difference between the front and back of
the valve spool will be bigger than the spring force and cause the valve spool to move
leftward. Thus A hole closes, small amount of oil flows out from B
hole and the goods descends slowly.
▲Flow Regulator Valve
The flow regulator valve, located in the lift cylinder circuit to
limit the descending speed of loaded forks, has the construction as
shown in Fig.8-15. When the lift spool is placed in the “lift”
position, the oil from the control valve flows through the oil
chambers A and B, oil holes C, D, E and F, and the chamber G to
the lift cylinder without any regulator. When the lift spool is placed
in the “down” position, the oil flows in the reverse direction. When
the oil passes the orifice plate (5) and a pressure difference
generates between the chambers A and B, the pressure difference

8.2.5 Tilt Cylinder (Fig.8-17)


The tilt cylinder is of double-acing type. Each truck has two tilt cylinders which are
installed on two side of the mast assembly with pin while their piston rod ends are connected
with the outer mast channels. The tilt cylinder assembly consists primarily of piston, piston
rod, cylinder body, cylinder base, guide sleeve and seals. The piston, welded to the piston rod,
is fitted with two Yx-rings and one wear ring on its circumference. A bushing press-fitted to
the inner side of the guide sleeve supports the piston rod. The guide
sleeve is fitted with dust seal, snap ring, Yx-ring and O-ring to
prevent oil leakage and keep dust off. Fitted with them, the guide
sleeve is screwed into the cylinder body.
When the tilt lever is pushed forward, the high-pressure oil
enters into the cylinder body from the cylinder tail, moving the
piston forward and causing the mast assembly to tilt forward until 6
degrees. When the tilt lever is pulled backward, high-pressure oil
enters into the cylinder body from the guide sleeve and moves the
piston backward, tilting the mast backward until 12 degrees.

After installing the gear pump in the truck, check it reassembled for specified
performance and do the running-in for it. If the pump’s gears are seized or internal parts worn
excessively, you should renew the hydraulic oil and filters or strainers or clean them. The trial
run procedures are as follows:
(a) Install the gear pump in the truck. Then install a pressure gauge in the pressure
inspection port of the control valve.
(b) Loosen the adjustment screw of the relief valve and run the pump at 500 to 1000rpm
for ten minutes. The oil pressure should be lower than 10 kg/cm2.
(c) Increase the speed of the pump to 1500 to 2000 rpm for ten minutes.

9.1 General Description
The loading system is of the two-stage, rolling telescopic mast type and consists of inner
mast, outer mast and carriage.
9.2 Inner and Outer Masts
The inner and outer masts are welded parts. The bottom of outer mast is connected with
the frame support through supporting. At the outside middle of outer mast, there are tilt
cylinder connected with the frame. The mast assembly can be tilt forward and backward by
operating the tilt cylinder. The outer mast has C-shaped cross section and there are roller and
side roller on the upper part of it.
The inner mast has L-shaped cross section and there is only roller at the bottom of it. The
main roller can not only bear radial force but also lateral force through adjusting its gap.
The maintenance of the main rollers and side rollers belongs to exalted maintenance.
Please be careful.
9.3 Carriage
The carriage moves up and down smoothly along the channel of the inner mast with main
rollers. The uppermost main rollers mounted on the main roller shafts and blocked by snap
rings. The other main rollers are not blocked by snap rings and will bear the lateral force
through adjusting with gasket the gap between the channel steel plate and the main roller. The
main roller shafts are welded on the carriage and the side rollers at the very top of vertical
column plate are fixed on the carriage by bolts. The longitudinal load is born by the main
rollers and the rollers above appear from the top of mast when the fork rises to the top. The
transverse load is jointly born by the side rollers and the main rollers at bottom end.
9.4 Roller Adjustment
(1) 1-1.8t
There are eight main rollers. They are separately mounted on
the upper end of the outer mast(2), lower end of the inner mast(2)
and two sides of the carriage(4). There are four side rollers. They
are separately mounted on the upper end of the outer mast(2),
upper end of the carriage(2).
The main rollers of the upper end of the outer mast and the
upper end of the carriage sustain the loads from front and rear
direction, the other main rollers sustain the loads from front and
rear direction and the side loads. The side rollers sustain the side
loads from left and right direction. The main rollers and side rollers

9.5 Maintenance
9.5.1 Adjustment of Lift Cylinder
When replace the lift cylinder, inner mast or outer mast, we shall readjust the stroke of the
lift cylinder as following.
(1)Install the piston rod in the upper beam of the inner mast without shims.
(2)Lift the mast slowly to the max. stroke of the cylinder and check the two cylinders
synchronize or not. If the movement stop not at the same time
which means different strokes of left and right cylinders. Adjust the
cylinder cover of left and right cylinder to get
their strokes synchronous.
(3)Then slowly lower the inner mast,
observe if the upper beam of the inner mast is
horizontal when reaching the bottom. Install
shims between the piston rod head of lower end
and the upper beam of the inner mast. The shims
are 0.2mm or 0.5mm thick.
(4)Adjust the tightness of lift chains. The
adjustment of the lift cylinder also belongs to Fig.9-13

-117-
9.5.2 Rust Protection and Maintenance of the Lift Cylinder
The moisture content of the atmosphere and salt fog will go into the cylinder through the oil
return pipe and the clearance between the sealing parts and other parts if the cylinder is not used
for a long time. And thus the piston rod and inside of the cylinder barrel will be corroded and the
exterior of the cylinder will become rusty. Once the cylinder gets rusty, it will be no longer
serviceable.
Rust protection and maintenance measures:
(1) Rust protection of the piston rod exposed outside: wipe the surface of the piston rod with
oil cloth evenly every one or two week in sunny days so as to form oil firm. If it is humid weather,
do as above every 3-5days.
(2) Rust protection of the interior of the cylinder: lift and lower the mast several times in
sunny days every 3-5 days to make the interior of the cylinder be fully oil lubricated; do the
above every 2-3 days in humid weather.
9.5.3 Carriage Adjustment
(1) Let the truck parking on the horizontal ground and make the mast vertical.
(2) Let the bottom of the fork contact with the ground. Adjust the adjusting nut for the
end nipple of the upper chain and make a distance A(19mm~20mm) between the main roller
and the carriage.
(3) Make the fork down to the ground and tilt backward fully. Adjust the adjusting nut for
the end nipple of the upper chain and make the two chains’ tightness equal.

to 300mm.
(3) Apply the parking brake and wedge up the rear wheels.
(4) Disassemble the fitted bolts for the lift cylinder and the inner mast. Hang up the inner
mast not to loose the shims for the top of the piston rod.
(5) Disassemble the connecting bolts for the lift cylinder and the bottom of the outer
mast. Disassemble the lift cylinders and the oil pipes between the two cylinders without loosen
the oil pipe joints.
(6) Put down the inner mast. Disassemble the main rollers under the bottom of the inner
mast.
