SERVICE MANUAL
1.4 General information and technical data / How to use the manual / Structure

How to use the manual

Structure
The manual is built up according to the same principles as ATLET spare parts catalogues,
with the truck divided into one subsystem per section.
Sections 1 - 3 in this manual contain more comprehensive information regarding techni-
cal data, general service instructions and tools.
Sections 4-12 in this manual contain information limited to a specific area in the truck
concerning the description of the mechanical handling of different components, e.g.
Masts (section 6) and Hydraulic system (section 8).
The software is described in section 10.
The main principle for extra accessories is to place them under the respective sections.
Otherwise they are placed under section 12 “Miscellaneous”. For this reason section 12
is not always included in the Service Manual.
For specific problems or information about procedures, look in the main index for the
correct section in the manual.

SERVICE MANUAL
General information and technical data / Safety instructions / General 1.5

Safety instructions

General
Extreme importance must be placed on precautionary measures to avoid accidents during
all work on the vehicle.
A general rule is to always implement preventive measures that are adapted to the type
of vehicle to be worked on. The general rules below must always be observed:
• Smoking or naked flames are strictly forbidden as there is a risk of explosion in the
vicinity of batteries and while working on gas equipped vehicles.
• The battery should always be protected during grinding work.
• Local fire directives should always be followed.
• The drive wheel should always be lifted up free from the floor during service work
to prevent the vehicle from moving.
• The battery plug should be pulled out before working on the electrical system. The
battery plug may only be connected while trouble shooting, and when the greatest
of care is exercised, (with the truck raised).
• To prevent injuries caused by crushing the battery plug should always be removed
when working on and around the mast and hydraulic unit. The mast or hydraulic
unit can be actuated due to an electrical fault or a mistake while working.

Warning!
Having the power connected to the truck while working on and around the mast can
lead to fatal injury!

• When working on and around lifting devices and the hydraulic unit, they must be
locked by using the mast lock, wooden blocks or some other appropriate means.
• No other persons should be in the vicinity of the truck when it is test run in con-
junction with repair work, in view of the risk of accidents or near-accidents from
the truck making an unexpected manoeuvre.
• The system should not be pressurised, e.g. the pump motor switched off and the
forks in their lowest position, when dismantling parts of the hydraulic system.
• All metal objects such as watches, chains, spectacles and rings should be removed
when working on the electrical system, or in its immediate vicinity. A short-circuit
from such objects can result in serious burn injuries.

Truck modification
Note!
Unauthorized truck modification is not permitted.

SERVICE MANUAL
1.6 General information and technical data / Safety instructions / Truck modification

No modifications or alterations to a powered industrial truck, which may affect, for


example, capacity, stability or safety requirements of the truck shall be made without the
prior written approval of the truck manufacturer, its authorized representative, or a
successor thereof. Contact an authorized dealer before making any modification or
alteration to your industrial truck that may affect, for example braking, steering, visibility
and the addition of removable attachments. After getting approval from the truck
manufacturer, its authorized representative, or a successor thereof, capacity plate, decals
tags and operation and maintenance handbooks shall also be changed to the appropriate
one.
Only in the event that the truck manufacturer is no longer in business and there is no
successor in the interest to the business, the user may arrange for a modification or
alteration to a powered industrial truck, provided, however, that the user shall:
A Arrange for the modification or alteration to be designed, tested and implemented
by an engineer(s) expert in industrial trucks and their safety;
B Maintain a permanent record of the design, test(s) and implementation of the
modification or alteration;
C Approve and make appropriate changes to the capacity plate(s), decals, tags and
Instruction Handbook;
D Affix a permanent and readily visible label to the truck stating the manner in which
the truck has been modified or altered together with the date of the modification or
alteration, and the name and address of the organization that accomplished the tasks.

SERVICE MANUAL
General information and technical data / Safety instructions / Gas springs in platform and steering

Gas springs in platform and steering arm

Inspection/Preparation
The functioning of the platform and steering arm should be checked. The gas springs in
both of these functions are a very critical factor for their correct functioning.
Since the gas springs are exposed to dirt and a large number of operations, they should be
checked very carefully during preventive maintenance.
During service and preventive maintenance it is important if the truck is a model with a
foldable platform to check that the platform is raised up automatically when the driver
gets off it. If this does not happen it should be reported to the truck supervisor, with the
recommendation that the truck be taken out of service until the requisite measures have
been implemented.
During service and preventive maintenance it is important to check that the steering arm
is raised up automatically when the driver releases it. If this does not happen it should be
reported to the truck supervisor, with the recommendation that the truck be taken out of
service until the requisite measures have been implemented.

Warning!
Great caution must be observed when dismantling the gas springs.
• Make sure that no other persons are in the vicinity or in the lengthwise direction of
the gas springs.
• Stand to the side of the gas spring when removing.
• Never point the gas spring toward any person or part of the body.

Lifting the truck

Inspection/Preparation
• When the truck is lifted using a jack, make sure you secure it with blocks. The
truck must not rest on the jack, while work is carried out.
• Ensure that straps, wires or chains have a sufficient lifting capacity before lifting
the truck.
• Ensure that the drive wheel runs free of the floor before trouble shooting.

SERVICE MANUAL
General information and technical data / Safety instructions / Welding on the truck 1.9

Welding on the truck


• During welding work the battery plug should always be disconnected and all con-
nections to the control units and controllers (applies to all electronic units) discon-
nected. On completion of welding work the contactors should first be connected to
the electronic units, after which the battery plug is then connected to the battery.
• The return cable clamp should always be connected as close to the welding area as
possible to eliminate damage to surrounding components.

Atlet AB takes care of the environment


The majority of our products consist of metal that can be completely recycled.

Environmental impact
All products have an impact on the environment throughout their entire life cycle.
The consumption of energy during their use is one of the most important factors that in-
fluences the environment.
Through correct care, maintenance and use the consumption of energy can be reduced,
thereby reducing the environmental impact.

Waste
Waste material in conjunction with repairs, maintenance, cleaning, or scrapping, should
be collected and disposed of in an environment-friendly way and in accordance with the
directives of respective countries. Such work should only be carried out in areas intended
for this purpose.
Recyclable material should be taken care of by specialised authorities.
Environmentally hazardous waste, such as oil filters, batteries and electronics, can have
a negative effect on the environment, or health, if handled incorrectly.

SERVICE MANUAL

Regular maintenance
Introduction
Preventive maintenance should be carried out regularly when the truck is used in normal
conditions. The planned service includes operations such as test driving, function tests,
and the changing of filters and oils etc. Service is planned at different intervals depending
on the running time of the truck. If the truck is working in extreme conditions or in de-
manding environments, servicing must be planned at tighter intervals.

Safety
Important!
Check under each separate section which safety instructions are applicable for

work on the truck.

Inspection of the external functions in the power steering system should be carried out
after every service and after work carried out in the electrical system. All function tests
of the safety system should be made with the speed controller in neutral position, see sec-
tion 10.

Recommendation
Information on what the truck owner should take into consideration.
Regular inspection should be carried out by specially appointed and trained personnel with a good
working knowledge of the function and maintenance of the truck.
To obtain the best results from your investment in your truck we advise you to contact your local Atlet
representative and to sign up for a service contract for regular inspection.

Daily service
For instructions, refer to the Operators Manual.

Weekly service (30 operating hours)

For instructions, refer to the Operators Manual.

ensuring the function of the truck and its component parts.
• Change the oil in the gearbox.
• Change the hydraulic oil filter.
• Test the function of the entire machine in accordance with the following list.

Main service

EN-1726 and ISO 3691 specify that regular preventive maintenance should be carried out
on the truck. To guarantee high quality, operation reliability and personal safety, this

Preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance is implemented in accordance with the recommended intervals
in the service chart.
In some cases, however, exceptions must be made and the intervals shortened in relation
to the conditions at the customer, e.g. a severe environment with dust, high humidity lev-
els, or salt, etc.
• Listen for abnormal noise from the bearings when the motor is run. Check that it
does not vibrate abnormally.
• The motor is blown clean with dry compressed air, or cleaned with a vacuum
cleaner. A cleaning fluid should be used to drive out oil and dirt, if oil has leaked
from the gearbox into the motor.
• Check the insulation resistance for the motor, see specification in section 1 for cor-
rect value.

hours

Intervals

After 500 hours of operation: The hydraulic oil filter and air filter to the hydraulic oil
tank should be changed after no more than 500 hours of operation. This refers to those
types of trucks that have replaceable filters. Clean the suction filter.
After every 1000 hours of operation: Change the hydraulic oil, oil filter and air filter
after 1000 hours of operation, or once every year (which ever comes is first).
If the hydraulic oil has been heated over 60 degrees Celsius the oil and the filter should
be immediately replaced since its lubricating properties can have been changed.
If the hydraulic oil has been contaminated with water (e.g. from cold store) this can be
detected in that the oil becomes milky, or smells bad.
It can also be checked with the following simple test:
1. Use protective glasses, gloves and clothes, and observe the fire instructions for the
premises.

Warning!
Risk for burn injuries on the skin.
2. Take a little hydraulic oil in a teaspoon and heat the spoon with a cigarette lighter –
if there is a crackling sound this proves that it contains water and should be
changed.
The hydraulic oil should be filtered when filling, by pouring the oil through the filter.

Emergency stop
Special emphasis should be placed on the inspection of the emergency stop. Of the con-
tactor tip seems to be worn during a visual inspection, it should be replaced on a preven-
tive basis. Applies to emergency stop SE.

Warning!
The unit should be replaced if the emergency stop has been used in a dangerous sit-
uation.

SERVICE MANUAL
Service / Specific instructions / Recommended replacement 3.19

Recommended replacement
Hydraulic hoses should be replaced after 5 years, since the rubber in the hose is perisha-
ble.

Storage of machines and motors


Machines in storage that will not to be used within one month, must be given special at-
tention so that problems do not occur when they are to be used again. Dust, dirt, conden-
sation and moisture caused by large changes in temperature and problems with rust and
oxidisation must be prevented. Motors should therefore be protected with waxed paper
or the like, and a moisture absorbing material.

4 Chassis
4.1 Design and function

4.1.1 Scope
A chassis normally includes the supporting parts of a construction and in the case
of a truck the chassis consists of the machine housing, panels and castor wheel.
The straddle lift and load wheel could be considered to be part of the chassis, but
since they are part of the mast the instructions for these are to be found in chapter
6, Mast, instead.

4.1.2 Machine housing


The chassis on the PLP truck consists of a machine housing. This is where all the
truck components, such as the mast, drive unit, and hydraulic system are mounted.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


4.4 Chassis / Design and function

Figure 4.2 Machine housing PLP, hydraulical “friction force” (2010w22-)

4.1.3 “Friction force” system


A “friction force” system will increase the pressure on the drive wheel as more load
is placed on the forks, providing greater traction and minimizing the risk of sliding
when turning corners with a load. The latest system is hydraulically controlled as
opposed to the previously mechanically controlled system.

4.1.4 Covers and panels


The function of the panels is to protect the driver from moving parts, electrical
components, oils and fluids, and to protect the components inside from external
damage and dirtying.

4.1.5 Castor wheel


The caster wheel is a fully turning, non-driven wheel placed under the machine
housing. PLP has two castor wheels.

4.2.1 Covers and panels


The recyclable panels are manufactured of sheet metal and durable plastic.

4.2.1.1 Dismantling of panels


1. Loosen the two screws to the side panels (pos 1), from the
outside. Remove the panels.
2. Loosen the plate bolts (pos 2).
3. To remove the panels pos 3, you must first unscrew the knob on the
emergency stop button. Press in the emergency stop. Pick off the small
plastic plug that is located in the plastic cover on the battery. Insert a round
bar or similar with a diameter of around 3 mm. Turn the emergency stop
button until the hole in the axle is identified. Then remove the emergency
stop button by turning anti-clockwise. Remove the two retaining screws and
lift out the panels by unfolding the gates to 3/4 and work the panels over the
gates.
4. The battery cover, pos 4 and 5, has four screws that can be accessed by
opening the cover. Loosen these and lift off the cover and plastic panel.

5 Drive unit
5.1 Design and function

5.1.1 Introduction
The drive unit is mounted in a vertically moving assembly containing the brakes,
traction motor, gearbox and drive wheel.
PLP is equipped with a technical solution for five-wheel pedestrian trucks,
designated Friction Force, which efficiently ensures that an optimum drive wheel
pressure is always available.
Friction Force utilises the principle of increasing the force on the load wheel with
an increasing effective force on the forks. The load wheel force is transferred via a
link system to the vertically moving suspended drive wheel, so that the wheel forces
are concentrated there. The suspension also includes compression springs, which
make the wheel insensitive to irregularities in the floor and ensure an optimum drive
wheel pressure even when the truck is not loaded.
Friction Force also ensures improved ergonomics in that a cushioning effect is also
achieved at the load wheel and also by reducing rattling noise in the lifting system.
For technical data regarding component parts, see section 1.

5.1.2 Traction motor


The traction motor on PLP is a three-phase induction motor. A pulse transducer is
enclosed in the bearing on the non-driving end of the motor and this provides speed
return to the traction controller, see section 10.
The motor is mounted directly on the gearbox and the transmission of power takes
place via individually adjusted gear wheels.

5.1.3 Gearbox
The gearbox is designed to produce the best gear ratio over the speed range of the
traction motor.

zero position will be wrong.

5.2.6 Traction motor


The traction motor is mounted on the top of the inner ring in the guide bearing, with
a total of six screws. When assembling and dismantling the traction motor the
contact surfaces between the motor and gearbox must be thoroughly cleaned. It is
also important that the pinion teeth are in line with the drive teeth so that the tooth
flanks are not damaged.

5.2.6.1 Storage of traction motor


Machines in storage that will not to be used within one month must be given special
attention so that problems do not occur when they are to be used again. Dust, dirt,
condensation and moisture caused by large changes in temperature and problems
with rust and oxidisation must be prevented. Motors should therefore be protected
with waxed paper or the like, and a moisture absorbing material.

5.2.7 Gearbox
Service work on the gearbox is limited to changing the wheel studs on the wheel and
changing the lower shaft seal.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


5.8 Drive unit / Repair and maintenance instructions

5.2.7.1 Motor mounting


The motor mounting is screwed in the gearbox with three socket head cap screws.
These should be treated with Loctite 243 or the equivalent when fitted.

5.2.7.2 Changing the wheel studs


After removing the wheel stud that is to be changed the threads on the new wheel
stud and the threads in the hole should be cleaned from oil and grease. The threads
should be treated with Loctite 243 or the equivalent before the new wheel stud is
screwed in.

5.2.7.3 Lower shaft seal on the gearbox


The shaft seal can be removed after removing the protective disc.
The seal seat in the casing and the surface to which the seal is to seal should be
cleaned before fitting a new seal. The seal should also be greased before it is fitted.
The protective disc is replaced after fitting the shaft seal.

5.2.7.4 Guide bearing


The guide bearing is protected by rubber rings and is maintenance-free as long as
not special cleaning has been carried out with a high-pressure jet.

5.2.7.5 Gear collar and drive pinion


The guide gear collar and drive pinion on the gearbox should be greased with
standard grease.

5.2.7.6 Checking the oil level and filling up with oil


Oil is poured in through the upper filler screw hole. The correct level is at the lower
edge of the hole.
The oil level should be regularly checked to avoid damaging the gearbox.

5.2.7.7 Oil change


The oil is drained out through the lower oil plug hole. The oil can be drained more
easily if it is warm.

Steering / Design and function 7.3

Edition 2010B

7 Steering
7.1 Design and function

7.1.1 General
The steering movement is transferred mechanically from the tiller arm to the drive
unit with a drive belt.

7.1.2 Steering
The truck is steered by turning the complete tiller arm, which via a drive belt affects
the angle of the drive wheel. There is a switch in the arm, which by means of
switching off the current and actuating the brake causes the truck to stop when the
arm is in its upper and lower end positions. It is therefore only possible to drive the
truck when the arm is between these end positions. There is also a belly switch,
which stops the truck when pushed in. The purpose of the belly switch it to prevent
the operator being crushed between the truck and other objects.
This electronic steering system is designed as a help system for the mechanical
steering, which means that the servo assists when the mechanical steering is
actuated. The servo unit uses 2 voltage-controlled signals for control and the servo
will shut down if one of the signals fails. A red fault indication lamp lights on the
servo unit in the event of a simple fault and the servo function will fail to operate.
The truck will now operate as a normal PLP without servo.
All sensor inputs are short circuit proof against short circuits to the ± battery.
However, the motor connection is not short circuit proof. A contactor is needed in
series with the servomotor so that the servomotor can generate voltage itself. Failure
to connect the battery and performing a quick manoeuvre and if the generated
voltage of the servomotor exceeds 35 Volts will damage the truck's electrical
system.

7.1.3 Servo unit (–2005w19)


The position indicators emit identical output signals to the servo, which are 6.0 volts
in neutral position. The servo will shut down if there is a difference of more than 0.5
volts between the position indicators (red light diodes on PSA Servo box).
The servo has a dead zone of ±0.5 volts around 6.0 volts. Full drive is provided at
±1.7 volts. The dead zone's mid-position can be adjusted ± 0.3V by means of a small
hole on the right underside of the PSA servo box (max 300 degree turn).
The servo function can be blocked by an external signal of 24 volts, which is ± 95-
degree control; there is a mechanical blocking function at ± 105 degrees. When the
servo is blocked the same red light diode lights that indicates incorrectly adjusted
position indicator. The limit switch also breaks the contactor to the servo motor.

The position sensors must produce identical output signals to the servo, 6.0 Volts in
neutral. Where there is more than 1 Volt difference between the position sensors,
the servo shuts down (red LED on the PSA servo box).
The servo has a dead zone of ±0.5 Volts around 6.0 Volts. Full drive is reached at
1.9 Volts.
The servo function can be blocked by an external signal of 24 Volts. This signal is
controlled by a breaker in the arm that is activated when the arm is in active mode.
For older models, an end position breaker can also block the servo function. The
same red LED lights when the servo is blocked as the one that indicates an
incorrectly adjusted position sensor.

stretching the cable. It must be possible to open the top section of the control
lever head without the cable being a restriction.

Important!
The main cable must not be of such a length that the programming cable has
to take the load when the top part is hanging from the cable.
Attaching the tiller arm main cable (PLP with adjustable arm):
Attach the cable using the cable clip in the tiller arm head. Run the cable down
through the tiller foot, in front of the steering axle to the forks. Attach the cable in
the machine using cable ties on the cable bar.

Important!
The cable should almost be at full stretch when the arm (adjusted in its furthest
position) is in its bottom position and is turned as far as possible to the right or
the left. If this is done correctly, the length of the cable is adjusted to ensure
that it is possible to open the top section of the tiller arm head in such a way
that does not put a strain on the programming cable.

7.2.5 Replacing the steering belt


1. Separate the battery plug.
2. Remove the panels on the machine housing, see section 4.
3. Release all the electrical connections to the traction motor and brake.
4. Unscrew the eight socket head cap screws holding the traction motor, and lift
it out. Protect the motor shaft and the hole in the gearbox, e.g. with rags.
5. Unscrew the three socket head cap screws holding the motor bed to the
gearbox. Lift out the motor bed.
6. Completely unscrew the two bolts holding the belt tensioner in the bottom of
the steering axle, and the two bolts holding the steering axle upper bearing.
7. Replace the belt.
8. Assemble in the reverse order.

7.2.6 Adjusting the steering belt


1. Switch off the power.
2. Roll out the battery.
3. Slightly release the two bolts holding the belt tensioner.
4. Adjust the belt with the adjusting screw.
5. Tighten the two bolts holding the belt tensioner.

7.2.7 Adjustment, limit switch


Ensure the following when adjusting the limit switch:
• That the contact breaker is not in a mechanically closed position.
• That the end position is not actuated before it should be (>95 degrees). This is
checked by moving the tiller arm to the right and left in its outer position. The
limit switch should only be actuated by >95 degrees of turning.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


7.14 Steering / Repair and maintenance instructions

7.2.8 Adjustment, electrical steering


An inspection and if necessary adjustments are always to be made following any
adjustment to the belt tension. When adjusting the belt tension check and if
necessary adjust the voltage level in neutral position on the potentiometers, see
point 2.
Measuring the looseness of the tiller arm checks the belt tension. The looseness
should be about 30 mm on a machine with servo.
There are several reasons why the steering could have a sluggish feeling.
• Too much belt tension
• The steering axle bearing is seized up
• The axles adjusting the potentiometer voltage, hits the body of the
potentiometer.

There are only two ways of adjusting the PSA servo.


Alternative 1
1. Adjust the dead zone (max 300-degree turn)

Figure 7.7 Adjusting the dead zone

The dead zone can be adjusted by means of a small hole on the right underside of
the PSA servo box, using a small slot screwdriver. Undo the lower fixing screw and
pull out the servo box so that you can see the screw hole.

Do not apply too much pressure to the screwdriver when you adjust the dead
zone on the PSA servo box.

Adjusting the dead zone clockwise means that the arm moves easier to the left and
more sluggishly to the right. Adjust until the actuator arm moves equally freely in
both directions.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


Steering / Repair and maintenance instructions 7.15

Alternative 2
1. Ensure that the axles to the potentiometer arms have the same
distance on both sides. .

0-2 mm

3. Carefully move the tiller arm a little to the right and left without activating
the actuator arm breaker. Stop the tiller arm in the middle of the play that
exists prior to moving the driving wheel. Measure the signal from the
position indicators, X23.2 and X24.2 to B-.
4. Adjust one potentiometer at a time to 6.20V ±0.10V.

It is important to adjust both of the position indicators equally e.g. (6.13 and
6.10V) or (5.85 and 5.9V). NOT 5.8 and 6.2V.

7.2.9.1 Adjusting the steering force
Function:
You can adjust the servo steering force by loosening or tightening the guide belt. In
general you could say that a looser guide belt gives a greater range of movement for
the potentiometer and increases the power to the steering servo motor making the
machine easier to control. If more sluggish steering is required, you can tighten he
guide belt to the potentiometer to produce a narrower range with less power to the
steering servo motor as a result. the guide belt to the potentiometer to produce a
narrower range with less power to the steering servo motor as a result.

Adjusting the guide belt:


1. Disconnect the battery connector and move the battery
sufficiently enough to access the adjuster screw and locking
screws from the battery compartment. Secure the battery so that
it cannot roll.
2. Loosen the two locking screws a little (pos 35, se Figure 7.12) to the belt
tensioner and adjust using the adjuster screw (33) to the desired value. As a
starting point, the belt tensioner can be adjusted to ensure that it is square
with the drive unit housing, figure A, se Figure 7.13

Figure 7.13 Adjusting the guide belt.

3. Figure B ( se Figure 7.13) shows the adjustment for a looser belt that gives
more steering force power and figure C shows a tight belt that gives less
steering force.
4. The quality of the floor and type of wheel affect the steering force which
then needs to be adjusted to new values.
Adjusting the potentiometer:
5. Connect the battery and measure with a voltmeter between B- and X24.4.
The value must be 6V in neutral. In other words the drive wheel is facing
forwards and the guide belt does not affect the mechanism to the
potentiometer.
6. To achieve the value of 6V, turn the bracket the potentiometer is mounted in
until the value is reached, se Figure 7.14. If the steering is stiffer clockwise,
adjust the bracket clockwise. Likewise, adjust the bracket anticlockwise if
the steering is stiffer anticlockwise.

7. Check by turning the tiller to the right and left while reading the voltage. A
good symmetry is when steering to the right gives around 8V, steering to the
left gives around 4V and neutral 6V.

8 Hydraulic system
8.1 Design and function

8.1.1 General

8.1.1.1 Lifting
The driver activates a switch, which starts the lift motor by means of a contactor.
The electric motor drives the hydraulic pump, which pumps hydraulic oil to the lift
cylinders.
The hydraulic system includes a relief valve, which limits the maximum hydraulic
oil pressure. The pressure of the hydraulic oil is built up when the cylinder goes
towards its end position. The relief valve opens if the maximum system pressure is
reached and leads the oil from the pump back to the tank. The opening pressure of
the relief valve is set at the factory, so that the machine will be able to handle the
load it is designed for.

Warning!
The relief valve must only be adjusted by authorised and trained personnel,
since it is a safety part. All work with the hydraulic system must be carried out
in a pressureless state, and in a clean environment. If the relief valve is adjusted
it must be resealed.

8.1.1.2 Lowering
There is a fixed restrictor valve in the hydraulic unit, which regulates the lowering
speed by restricting the return flow of hydraulic oil.

8.1.2 Electric solenoid valve

8.1.2.1 General
The electric solenoid valve controls the lifting and lowering movements on the
truck. The solenoid valve is actuated electrically by the driver by means of a switch.

8.1.2.2 Lifting function


The pump produces a pressure and flow to the lift cylinder. If the lift cylinder is
obstructed, or has an excessive load, the oil goes back to the tank through the relief
valve.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


8.4 Hydraulic system / Design and function

8.1.2.3 Lowering function


The solenoid valve opens to release the oil from the lift cylinder. When the fork
carriage presses down the lift cylinder the oil flow goes through the lowering valve,
which regulates the lowering speed.

8.1.3 Lift limit pressure switch


The function of the electrical lift limit pressure switch is to turn off the hydraulic
motor when the fork carriage reaches the top position. This will protect the
hydraulic motor from overheating. For adjustments, see “Adjusting the lift limit
pressure switch (–2010w21)” on page 17.
The pressure lift limit pressure switch have been replaced by an inductive sensor
(2010w22-) which is set to activate before the top of the end stroke to avoid self-
locking of the forks in the top position.

8.2 Repair and maintenance instructions

8.2.1 Hydraulic system

8.2.1.1 General rules

Important!
Cleanliness during all work with hydraulic components is of the greatest
importance for the operating safety and service-life of the system. The
following should be taken into consideration:
• Dirt particles must not get into components.
• Do not use cloths that release fibres or particles.
• Only use clean tools.
• Carefully clean tanks, pipes and hoses before installation.
• Welded or hot-bent pipes must be pickled (cleaned with acid bath) and washed
before they are built-in.
• The oil tank must be closed and provided with an efficient air filter to prevent
dirt contaminating the hydraulic oil.
• Sealing compounds such as flax, cement or thread tape are not permitted.
• Take into consideration the specified operating data.
• Do not exceed permitted pressures and volume flows.
• Do not exceed or go below the specified temperature range.
• Pay attention to specified electrical voltages and power consumption.

Note!
All work with the hydraulic system should be carried in a pressureless state
and in a clean environment.

8.2.1.2 Installation
To prevent dirt and corrosion in the hydraulic system all hydraulic components
should be provided with plastic plugs in the connections before they are delivered.
Only remove these plugs just before the component is to be installed in the machine.
Retaining screws and connections must correspond with those on the drawing.
Retaining screws should not be tightened with a higher torque than what is specified
on the drawing. If such information is missing, the torque should not exceed what
is specified in section 1.

8.2.1.3 Connections
Couplings should be fitted according to the torque specified in the table in section
1. We recommend couplings with elastic seals.
Connect pipes and hoses in accordance with the hydraulic diagram. Pay attention to
the connection designations. Do not use force, and avoid building-in tensions in
pipes, etc,

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


Hydraulic system / Repair and maintenance instructions 8.11

8.2.1.4 Start up
Check that everything is connected in accordance with the hydraulic diagram. Set
the relief valves down to a very low pressure if they are not sealed. Start-up with
low pressure and volume flows.
Test the function and tightness of the system. Check the oil level. Set the pressure
and volume flows slowly to the values they should have. Check the connected
measuring equipment regularly, where appropriate. Pay attention to the noise level
since abnormal noise implies defects. Test during variable loads that components
are correctly fitted, and that the system is tight.
In the event of returning equipment to the manufacturer, protect polished surfaces
from damage and dirt by covering them with foil and protective paper. Fit plastic
plugs in all connections. Send the complete components, not loose parts.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


8.12 Hydraulic system / Repair and maintenance instructions

8.2.2 Hydraulic oil, changing/draining

8.2.2.1 Requisite equipment


• New oil, or purifying equipment for the old.
• A tray to collect the oil in.

8.2.2.2 Procedure
1. Lower down the forks and disconnect the battery.
2. Remove the panels enclosing the area where the hydraulic unit is placed.
3. Check how much oil needs to be filled by marking the existing level. e.g.
with a strip of tape. Before marking the level the lift cylinder should be run
several times to check that the pump does not suck air (screaming noise at
the end). If this should be the case the marking should be moved
correspondingly so that this does not happen when new oil has been filled.
4. Remove the cap on the hydraulic oil tank.
5. Suck up the oil with a pump, and pump over the old oil to a suitable
container.

Important!
Avoid spilling oil outside the container. The oil should be handled in
accordance with the applicable environmental legislation and local directives.
6. Fill up with oil to the previously marked level. If possible, filter the new oil
when filling. Follow the recommendations in section 1 for the correct type of
oil.
7. The lift cylinder should be run several times to check that the oil level is
correct and so that any air will disappear, and also to check for excess oil.
Excess oil runs the risk of the oil overflowing.
Wipe up any oil spillage and refit the panels.

8.2.2.3 Air filter


There is an air filter in the refilling plug on the hydraulic tank, which during service/
oil change should be cleaned. The filter is cleaned with a suitable grease solvent that
will not damage the rubber, e.g. turpentine.
Pull out the filler plug from the tank and remove the red cap fixed with three barbs.
Wash the foam rubber filter and blow clean, or squeezze dry with paper. Refit in the
reverse order. The filter should be replaced if the foam rubber is damaged.

8.2.2.4 Properties of the hydraulic oil


The hydraulic oils recommended in this manual, section 1, have properties that
promote a long service-life and good functionality, and these are the oils that should
be used in the truck. The hydraulic oil used in Atlet trucks must comply with Atlet
quality requirements:

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


Hydraulic system / Repair and maintenance instructions 8.13

Important!
Never mix oils of different types or brands! Environmentally adapted oils must
not be used without the approval of Atlet if the warranty it to be valid.
• Smooth action.
• Long service-life.
• High viscosity index with wide range of temperature applications.
• Good low-temperature properties.
• High filterability.
• Good air and water separating capacity.
• Good wear protection.
• Good oxidation stability.
• Minimum foaming.
• Provide protection from rust and corrosion.
• Good adhesive capacity.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


8.14 Hydraulic system / Repair and maintenance instructions

8.2.3 Motor, hydraulic unit


If the performance of the electric motor changes it should be inspected internally.
One of the most common sources of faults is wear on the carbon brushes in the
motor.
The brushes can wear out, or stick in the brush holders. In both cases inadequate
contact between the brushes and the commutator can lead to serious damage on the
commutator surface.

8.2.3.1 When should the brushes be replaced?


• If a carbon brush cannot move freely in the brush holder. To check this the
brush holder must be released from the brush rigging. The force from the brush
spring should then press out the brush from the brush holder as far as is
permitted by the cable.
• If a carbon brush is approaching the end of its usable length. The length of the
brushes must never be less than 10 mm (a new brush has a length of 17 mm).
Since this is difficult to measure there is an alternative method. Measure the
difference between the cable and the groove in the brush holder. The difference
should be at least 1 mm. Even if the difference should be slighter more it is
recommended to change the brushes anyway, since their remaining service-life
may be shorter than the interval to the next inspection.

8.2.3.2 Replacing the brushes


The repair kit consists of brush, brush holder and spring. They should be installed
as follows.

Remove the brush set from the brush rigging – C. The old brush set is
replaced with a new set by the reverse procedure. It is recommended to
replace each brush separately to avoid confusion. Make sure that each brush
set is replaced with the correct part, i.e. one that has the cable on the correct
side. (The service kits consist of two matching pairs of brush sets!)
8. Tightent the screw, pos. 1 figure 8.2, to approx. 1.3-1.8 Nm.
9. Replace the terminals in the grooves in the rear end, and replace it back on
the motor. Check that there is a washer between the rotor and the end (pos. 2
figure 8.2) and that the attachment is located with a tooth and a slot on the
casing and end.
10. Insert the through bolts and replace the electric motor in the truck. Tighten
the bolts to approx. 4.8-6.8 Nm.
11. Tighten the terminal bolts to 10-14 Nm (pos. 3 figure 8.1).
12. Replace the cables to the motor terminals.

8.2.3.3 Tips for prolonging the service-life of the motor


• The rapid wearing of carbon brushes and the commutator is often caused by oil.
Oil or grease is burned by the sparks produced at the brushes, and leaves a
residue of abrasive ash. If oil or grease is detected in the motor the reason for
this must be eliminated immediately.
• Never overload the motor. Brushes that have been severely overheated expand
permanently and can fasten in the brush holders.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


8.16 Hydraulic system / Repair and maintenance instructions

• The service-life of the brushes does not only depend on the loading, but also on
how worn the commutator is. The commutator should have smooth, level and
greyish black surface. A worn commutator must be machine milled (never use
abrasive paper, grindstone or file) to a surface fineness of Ra = 0.8-1.8 µm and
a maximum runout of 0.03 mm (with the rotor resting in the bearing seats). The
service-life of the commutator is prolonged if it is machined a little and often,
rather than seldom and a lot. The minimum diameter of the commutator is 40.8
mm.
• The motor must not be exposed to full load immediately after changing the
brushes.
• Look for signs of overheating on the windings, dark patches, brittle or burned
insulation, and damage to the soldering on the commutator. The electric motor
should be replaced if such damage is found.
• If possible, remove dust and dirt from inside the motor with compressed air.
• A dirty commutator should always be cleaned with a cloth moistend with petrol
(do not used cotton rags since these shred fibres), and carefully blown dry with
compressed air.
• If the bearing cup look as if it has run out of oil (i.e. if there is a lot of oil on the
rotor washer or brush holder) lubricate it with a little bearing grease.

8.2.5.1 General instructions when working with solenoid valve


1. Cleanliness

• Dirt particles must not get into components.


• Cloths must not shed fibres and particles.
• Tools must be clean.
• Tanks, pipes and hoses must be carefully cleaned before installation.
• Welded or hot-bent pipes must be pickled and cleaned before they are
built-in
• The oil tank must be closed and provided with an efficient breather
filter that prevents the penetration of dirt.

2. Sealing compound

• Hemp, cement or sealing tape is not permitted.

3. Operating data

• Do not exceed permitted pressures and volume flows.


• Do not go beyond the specified temperature range.
• Pay attention to specified electrical voltages and maximum power
consumption.

8.2.5.2 Solenoid valve, dismantling and assembling


1. Lower down the forks and relieve the pressure in the hydraulic
system.
2. Place protective paper under the valve and release the electric cables to the
valve.
3. Loosen all the oil pipes connected to the valve and plug them.
4. Loosen the valve from the truck, and lift it out.
5. When fitting, tighten the valve and then the oil pipes.
6. Adjust the relief valve to the rated weight in accordance with the machine
plate.
7. Seal the setting.

8.2.6 Installation instruction for pipe couplings


To achieve a safe and tight connection when installing pipe couplings in the
hydraulic system, the following points should be taken into consideration:
1. The pipe should be cut at right angles by means of a pipe cutter (
see Figure 8.4 and see Figure 8.5), after which it is deburred
internally and externally, and carefully cleaned.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


Hydraulic system / Repair and maintenance instructions 8.19

Important!
When using a pipe cutter the end of the pipe becomes skew, with the formation
of substantial burrs internally and externally. It is therefore important to
straighten the end of the pipe and remove the burrs, both internally and
externally.

Figure 8.4 Cut at right-angles!

Figure 8.5 Pipe cutter

2. Oil the thread and pipe olive (not grease) if this type of coupling is used. Put
the nut and pipe olive over the pipe end as shown in the figure. If the pipe
olive cannot be worked over the pipe end it must absolutely not be enlarged.
File down the pipe end instead.
3. Small pipe dimensions can be fitted directly in the coupling connected to the
machine part. Screw the nut by hand until it lies flush with pipe olive, press
the pipe towards the shoulder in the coupling cone, and tighten the nut a ¾
turn.

Important!
The pipe must not follow round.
4. The pipe olive will now have gripped the pipe, and no longer needs to be
pressed against the shoulder. Complete the fitting with an additional ¾ turn

of the nut. A mark on the nut simplifies following the specified torque, see
Figure 8.6.

Figure 8.6 A mark on the nut simplifies the specified torque

5. Larger pipe dimensions and couplings in free pipes are preferably fitted by
placing the coupling body in a vice. The U-ring spanner should be 15 times
the nut width (can be extended with a piece of pipe). Otherwise fit according
to point 3.
If several couplings of the same type are to be fitted, make sure that each
pipe end goes in the same coupling cone it was previously fitted in.
Fitting is simplified if the nut is loosened and oil is applied between the
friction surfaces.

SERVICE MANUAL PLP


Hydraulic system / Repair and maintenance instructions 8.21

6. After fitting, release the cap nut and check that the pipe olive has pressed up
a visible swelling in the area in front of it, see figure see Figure 8.7. If not,
give it another short turn. It is of no importance whether the pipe olive can
still be turned.

Figure 8.7 A visible swelling should have formed after tightening

After a visible swelling has formed the nut should be fitted without extension
of the U-ring spanner, and without excessive force.

Important!
Refitting: After a visible swelling has formed the nut should be fitted without
extension of the U-ring spanner, and without excessive force.
7. If the pipe is to be bent after a coupling, the straight pipe end should have a
length of at least 2 nut heads, H.
Long and heavily loaded pipes should be provided with pipe clips.

Design and function

Introduction
The lift cylinder consists of a single-acting hydraulic cylinder, where hydraulic oil is
pumped into the cylinder and presses out the piston rod.
When the driver activates the lowering function the cylinders are pressed together
through a control valve releasing oil out from the cylinder. This is then pushed together
by the weight of the forks and the load, at the same time as the oil returns to the hydraulic
tank.

Dismantling and assembling


1. Move the battery out of the way.
2. Remove the hydraulic hose and hydraulic coupling on the cylinder.
3. Plug the hydraulic hose to avoid dirt getting into the hydraulic system.

10.2.1 General

10.2.1.1 Safety Procedures


Extreme importance must be placed on precautionary measures to avoid accidents
during all work on the vehicle.
• The drive wheel should always be lifted up free from the floor during service
work to prevent the vehicle from moving.
• The battery plug should be pulled out before working on the electrical system.
The battery plug may only be connected while trouble shooting, and when the
greatest of care is exercised, (with the truck raised).
• No other persons should be in the vicinity of the truck when it is test run in
conjunction with repair work, in view of the risk of accidents or near-accidents
from the truck making an unexpected manoeuvre.
• All metal objects such as watches, chains, spectacles and rings should be
removed when working on the electrical system, or in its immediate vicinity. A
short-circuit from such objects can result in serious burn injuries.
• Working with electrical vehicles can result in personal injury. All testing,
trouble shooting and adjusting must be carried out by authorised personnel. The
drive wheel should run free of the floor and be able to rotate freely during
work.

Warning!
Working with electrical vehicles can result in personal injury.
Electronic Controllers
• All the electronic controllers in the truck have multiple safety systems.
• When replacing or repairing the electronic controllers, or removing cables, the
battery should always be disconnected.

Important!
Incorrectly connected battery cables can destroy the electronic controllers.

Warning!
During all work on the truck the drive wheel must be lifted up from the floor
to prevent accidents occurring.
After the power has been disconnected to the controller and work or trouble
shooting is to be conducted, there can be residual voltage in the capacitors for a few
minutes. For this reason observe care when working with current-carrying tools
during this period.

In order to carry out a complete battery discharge indicator (BDI) adjustment, the
following procedure has to be performed:
1. Connect a voltmeter directly to the B+ and B- poles of the
battery.
2. Power up the truck and enter “ATLET menu => Settings => Battery =>
Calibrate”. Key in the value from the voltmeter by using the keyboard. For
example if the voltage 25.2 V is read from the voltmeter, key in 252.
3. Enter (ATLET menu => Settings => Battery =>) “Stepdown hi”. This
parameter (0-9) decides how quickly the BDI reduces the indicated level
when the battery has been recently charged.

• If the indicator does not indicate 100% after a full recharge cycle, or
drops too quickly in the range 100%-60%, this parameter should be
decreased.
• If the indicator drops too slowly in the range 100%-60%, this parameter
should be increased.

4. Enter (ATLET menu => Settings => Battery =>) “Stepdown lo”. This
parameter (0-9) decides how quickly the BDI reduces the indicated level
when the battery is close to becoming discharged

• If the indicator drops too slowly in the range 60%-20%, this parameter
should be increased.
• If the indicator drops too slowly in the range 60%-20%, shows too high
a battery status, or the truck stops due to under voltage alarms, this
parameter should be increased.

10.2.7 Insulation Resistance

10.2.7.1 Routine Test


You must first disconnect the connectors (plugs) before the truck is insulation tested
in order to protect the controllers and other electrical components on the truck. This
is because damage can occur, which will shorten the life of component parts. In the
event of large insulation errors it is appropriate to use a universal instrument until
the error has been found and then make a final insulation test.
This applies to all electronic units on the truck.

The instrument has a dangerous voltage across the measuring terminals. Do


not touch the terminals during testing.

Routines for insulation testing of all truck models.


1. Take out the insulation measurement instrument.
2. Set the test voltage to 100 volt.
3. Pull out the battery plug. Electrical components and electronic systems can
be damaged by the test voltage. For this reason disconnect connections and
contactors to these before doing the test.
4. Connect the instrument’s earth lead to the truck chassis at a point with good
electrical contact. The other lead is connected to the plus pole on the
electrical panel plug.
5. Press the start button and wait until the display has stabilised, then release
the button and read-off the value on the display. The approved value on 24
volt machines should be at least 24000 Ω , (24 k Ω ).
6. Let the earth lead remain attached to the chassis and connect the other lead to
the minus pole on the electrical panel plug. After this repeat point 5.

There are two different log functions in ATC, error log and temperature log. Both
can be read and cleared in Atlet Service.
There are also a number of hour counters and these can divided up into two
categories, total time and trip time. Both can be read in Atlet Service, but only the
trip category can be cleared. The times measured are:
• Active time – the time the truck is used actively, or in other words the total of
travel time and pump time.
• Log time – the time the system has been logged on.
• Travel time – the time the drive motor has been used.
• Pump time – the time the pump motor has been used.
The hour counters can also be read in external units, e.g. a TMC or HVC.
The total hour meters can be set in Atlet menu => logs/counters => set hour mtrs.
Note that the total hour meters only can be set to a higher value than the existing.
There will not be an error message if a lower value is set, but the new value will not
be saved.

10.2.8.16 Temperature Log


The temperator log registers temperature measurements from the TMC in five
different temperature intervals. The log saves the number of hours the different
temperatures have been measured. See fig:

10.2.8.17 Error Log


ATC has an error log system that logs external and internal errors. External errors
are errors that external units detect and report to ATC. Internal errors are errors that
ATC detects itself. The error code, description of the error, date and time, are saved
in the error log.
The error log function is based on four error classes:
• A – Shown in the display and saved in the log. Only cleared after it has been
read.
• B – Shown in the display and saved in the log. Cleared when the error has
ceased.
• C – Saved in the log. Not shown in the display.
• Warning – Gives a text warning. Certain warnings are logged.
In addition to being shown in the display, also indicates an error through an audible
signal. The signal is repeated every other minute as long as the error/warning is
shown in the display. The warning is shown in the full top bar on the display, while
the error is shown in the second bar position 5-8.
The error log is divided into primary and secondary faults. A secondary error is an
error that occurs 2 seconds after the first error occurred. If the last primary error is
repeated without any other error occurring, this error will not be logged separately
in the log. It will be added to a counter in the log of the last error instead.
Example of how the error log works:

Primary Log Secondary Log

The fault “Traction system, Low voltage” has occurred three times. The first time
at 07:49 220103 and the third time at 18:09 150203. There are two secondary faults
associated with the first fault, which are shown by the plus character after the time
07:49.

10.2.8.21 Driver Categories


The software in ATC supports four different driver categories. These are used to
give different drivers difference performances. One example is the possibility to
have a category for experienced drivers and one for beginners. All driver IDs must
be associated with a driver category.

10.2.8.23 Pin Code


ATC uses a pin code instead of a key switch. Each driver is defined with a unique
ID number. A pin code is linked to each driver ID, which can be 1-7 digits in length.
Up to 100 driver IDs can be saved. The driver ID and code are used together to
access the truck, thereby replacing the key switch.

10.2.8.24 Safety Checks


When logging into the truck there is a safety check of the brake switch, lift system,
belly button switch and speed controller. The lifting and speed controller should be
inactivated when logging on and the brake switch should previously have been in
neutral position. If any of these safety tests fail a warning is shown in the display,
with a request to reset the activated control to neutral position. Depending on which
control is activated an interlock function will be actuated to prevent the use of
certain of the truck functions.

10.2.8.25 Speed Limits


In ATC there is a way of achieving a reduction in speed during the operation of the
truck called creep speed. Creep speed is selected by switching with the 2 key

between creep speed and full speed (key 8 to go straight to full speed). The actual
position is shown in the display with a symbol representing a tortoise or a hare.

10.2.8.28 Temperatures
The TMC measure temperature and sends, if necessary, a warning to the ATC. The
temperatures measured are the internal controller temperature and the traction
motor temperature. The traction motor temperature is only measured in two steps;
over and below 125°C. If a value greater than 125°C is measured the TMC reduces
the current and the warning “Motor temp high“ is presented on the display.
The internal controller temperature is measured and handled in two steps. If the
temperature is over 75°C the TMC reduces the maximum current. If the temperature
is over 100°C the current is reduced to zero and the truck stops. With a controller
temperature over 75°C the warning “Ctrl temp high“ is presented on the display.

When options are stated as being truck specific, under no circumstance may
these be activated on any other type of truck than the ones stated. This is on
account of the software using the same digital inputs for different functions on
different truck models.

10.2.9 ATC Logic


The truck control logic is nowadays mainly generated in the ATC software, and not
as previously with cabling and the series and parallel connection of switches. For
this reason it is no longer possible to measure all the logical conditions by means of
a multimeter. This can now be done with the help of the Monitor menu function for
input control. There is no circuit diagram for the software. Instead, a graphic
description of the software conditions required for ATC to request procedures has
been generated.

The condition does not rule


if it is true. Can be compared
with a NC contact.

The condition rules if it is


true. Can be compared with
a NO contact.

Two conditions after each other generate an “and” condition, i.e both conditions
must rule for the objective to be achieved. Two parallel conditions generate an “or”

Example 1 - tiller application


Lift channel is analog, with valve PWM output. Inputs are decided in Atlet menu/Calibrate/Lift menu. When the display requests "full raise" the proportional pushbutton
connected to J9 (lift) is activated by the engineer followed by ENT. Cortex then recognises this input as the raise input. The display requests "full lower" and the operator pushes the button connected to J8 (lower).
Cortex has now detected which inputs are used for raise and lower, and has also stored at which input levels full output should be given.
Output type is selected in Atlet menu/Settings/Hydraulics/Lift. First of all, speed control is selected. Now, further settings are needed. In this case, a porportional valve will be controlled by HVC 1.
The engineer selects valve speed control. Fixed outputs for contactor prop valve and dir valve are hardcoded. Output relations to dead zone passing and to calibrated maximum input are entered.

Channel 2 is 'digital', with onoff valve control. No input calibrations need to be done, since output is defined as 'onoff'. Hardcoded definitions for input and output associations take effect.

Example 2 - rider stacker


Lift channel is analog, with joystick and pump motor speed control. Input calibration is carried out as in example 1. Cortex recognizes the a 'combined' raise/lower control from the voltage levels read during calibration.
Output setting s are set to 'speed control' and 'motor'. Raise command is sent to hardcoded adress in PMC, lower command is sent to HVC 1.

Design and function

Electric brake
PLL is equipped with an electric brake. The electric brake is a safety brake with two fric-
tion surfaces. The braking torque is produced by spring pressure. The brake is activated
when the voltage over the coil is lost, i.e. the truck is braked when it is without voltage.
When the brake is activated the springs press on the plate, which is pressed axially to the
rotor. When the brake is to be released the coil is supplied with battery voltage. The mag-
netic field created between the plate and the magnetic part allows the rotor to rotate freely.
The brake is activated by the TMC and EPS via the ATC (see also wiring diagram).

Service
The brake does not need adjusting.
When serviced the gap between the magnetic parts should be measured to ensure that the
brake disc is not worn.

Figure 11.1

The gap A can be measured with the brake fitted (figure 11.1).

Warning!
The brake disc is worn out and should be replaced if the measured gap is greater
than 0.6 mm!

Replacing the brake disc (–2006w46)


1. Disconnect the electrical connection to the magnetic part.
2. Release the three retaining screws holding the magnetic part, and carefully lift off.
Clean the magnetic part.
3. Lift off the brake disc and clean all the surfaces.
4. Fit the new brake disc and refit the magnetic part. Tighten the three retaining
screws to 9.5 Nm.
5. Reconnect the electrical connection to the magnetic part.

Warning!
Check that you have a safe braking capacity.
