FOREWORD
TCM’s ACROBA-ε series battery-powered lift trucks come equipped with an induction-motor drive
system to offer sideways travel which could not achieved by conventional lift trucks. In addition, this series
offers a variety of features, such as a substantially reduced minimum turning radius by “spin turn” and
reduced operator fatigue thanks to the turning driver’s seat which turns 45° to the right when the shift lever
is put into reverse.
This Service Manual is written to provide maintenance personnel with information about the design of the
Acroba series lift trucks and maintenance instructions for them. Read this manual thoroughly and become
completely familiar with the trucks before proceeding with servicing.
The specifications are subject to change without notice.

1.1.1 BATTERY CARE
discharges
Number of
Service
The most important point in battery care is to prevent
life
overdischarge. The deeper the battery discharges, the
shorter its life becomes (See Fig. 1.2).
The approximate depth of discharge can be known
by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte
(See Fig. 1.2)
Check the level of electrolyte every ten days. Add
distilled water if the level is found lower than the
specified level before charging the battery.
1.1.2 CHARGING THE BATTERY

Discharge depth (%)
When discharged, the battery should be recharged as
soon as possible. Leaving the battery discharged for a Fig. 1.2 Relation Between Depth of Discharge
long time may cause sulfation, which will result in a drop and Service Life (Example)
of the battery performance.
If the battery is kept out of service for a long time, it should be thoroughly charged before put in
storage. An additional charge is also required once a month.
Do not leave a fully discharged battery longer than a day as it is. Be sure to recharge it as soon as
possible.
If the amount of discharge is considered to be small, measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte.
If lower than 1.260, recharge the battery.
Equalizing charge is required if the specific gravity varies among the cells by the amount of 0.020
or larger. Equalizing charge is normally needed between one to four times a month.
If the specific gravity variation is not made smaller by equalizing charge, specific gravity adjustment
will be required.
Giving an equalizing charge more times than necessary will overcharge the battery, and its service
life will be shortened.
For a truck-mounted type charger, a microcomputer determines when an equalizing charge is required
and carries out equalizing charge automatically.
[Cautions on Charging the Battery]

(1) Do not start charging the battery if the electrolyte temperature is higher than 50°C. Leave the
battery for a while until the temperature goes low. Then charge it.
(2) Overdischarge or overcharge will cause the electrolyte temperature to rise. Get a good ventilation during
charging to prevent the charging room from being filled with harmful gases, and to dissipate heat.
[Specific Gravity Correction According to Temperature]

The specific gravity of the electrolyte varies as the electrolyte temperature changes. The specific
gravity is generally based on the electrolyte temperature of 20°C. Therefore, if the specific gravity is
measured at the electrolyte temperature if other than 20°C, correct it using the following formula:
S = St + 0.0007(t-20)
where S20 .................. specific gravity for 20°C
St ..................... specific gravity measured at t
t ....................... electrolyte temperature measured.

(2) VTM Unit

The VTM unit sets the timers’ charging time intervals according to the battery’s state of charge.
(See Fig. 1.11)
The truck has two charging timers: the first timer and the second timer. The first timer’s time
interval is set by the microprocessor (up to 4 hours).
The second timer is usually set to a time interval of 15 hours for normal charge. If a single charge
time exceeds 15 hours, it is regarded as a charge error and the charge error lamp on the operation panel
blinks.
The VTM unit stores data on charges performed in the past in memory. The microprocessor
determines whether the battery needs equalizing charge, based on the data.
The VTM unit PWB also has an LED which displays data about the charger. It is possible to check
the adjustment and the status of the charger by selecting the setting switches on the PWB.

(6) Charger operation (for trucks with a charger)

When the power switch is turned on, the charger is made ready for operation by the photocoupler
in the VTM unit.
When the start button (PB1) is pressed, a circuit composed of the magnet switch CM, thermal
relay TH, and VTM unit V-25 terminal is formed, while the battery voltage is applied to the M-10
terminal of the meter panel, thus activating the magnet switch CM. However, the magnet switch
won’t work if the battery connectors are not connected.
When the power is connected to the transformer by the action of the magnet switch CM, LED 1
turns on; charging starts and the fail timer starts counting down the time.
The timer is usually set to 15 hours for normal charging.
When the battery voltage reaches the preset value, the microprocessor inside the VTM unit detects
the voltage and the normal timer starts counting down the time.
This timer is automatically set according to how much the battery has been discharged.
When the time set to the normal timer expires, the magnet switch CM opens to terminate charging
operation.

1.1.4 CHARGING PROCEDURE (for trucks with a charger)

(1) Normal charge
Turn off the key switch and apply the parking brake.
Make sure that the power supply at the facility side is off and insert the plug into the receptacle at
the truck side.
The plug at the truck side is a locking type. Insert the plug securely until it reaches the locked
position. Then, insert the plug into the receptacle at the facility side when it is equipped with the
power service outlet.
When the power supply at the facility side is turned on and the START button at the charging
operation panel is pressed, the CHARGING lamp lights up and the charging is started. Then, the
humming is heard from the transformer, which shows that the charger is operating. The charging
state is also displayed on the meter panel.
Note: If the battery is not connected or the power supply at the facility side is 0-volt, the charging
operation cannot be started.
The charging is automatically terminated after it continues for 8 to 10 hours (the charging time
varies with the amount of discharge). The battery is not so exhausted, the charging may continue
for a short time (a few minutes).
Note: If power failure occurs during charging and is remedied within 120 hours, battery charging is
automatically started again.
Make sure that the CHARGING lamp is turned off, turn off the power supply at the facility side.
Remove the plug at the truck side with its lock lever pressed.
After charging is finished, measure the specified gravity of the battery electrolyte to check if the
proper charging is carried out.
(2) Boosting charge

If the residual level gauge of the meter panel is probable to indicate level 3 or less after completing
the day’s work, it is recommended that boosting charge is carried out by using a rest period.
The starting procedure of the boosting charge is same as that of the normal charge, but be sure to
press the STOP button when terminating the boosting charge.
(3) Equalizing charge

Normally the battery does not need equalizing charge because when the battery needs it, the
microcomputer detects it and automatically puts the charger in equalizing charge operation. However,
manual equalizing charge is needed if:
• Purified water is added to the battery electrolyte
• The difference of the specific gravity in each cell is 0.02 or more.
• Overdischarge more than 100% occurs.
The procedure for carrying out the equalizing charge is as follows:
Press the SUPER EQUALIZE button after taking the same steps as needed for normal charge, so
that the CHARGING lamp and SUPER EQUALIZE lamp light up.
When equalizing charge is automatically terminated (the CHARGING lamp goes out), the “SUPER
EQUALIZE” lamp is turn off and the equalizing charge is released by pressing the “SUPER
EQUALIZE” button or turning the key switch on.
While the battery is charged, the equalizing charge can be released by pressing the STOP button.
- 18 -
1. BATTERY
(4) Super equalizing charge

The super equalizing charge is used when you want to use 100% of the battery capacity after the
consecutive holidays. The operation steps are the same as those described in “Equalizing charge.”
In the super equalizing charge, both of the equalizing charge and the automatic proper boosting
charge during the consecutive holidays are carried out, so that the proper boosting charge is
automatically carried out every 24 hours after completing the charge. Therefore, 100% of the
battery capacity can be used after the consecutive holidays. However, if 100 % of the battery
capacity is used, the battery service life will be short. It is recommended to adopt a high capacity
battery or to prepare a spare battery when the super equalizing charge is so often used.
(5) Flickering CHARGING lamp

When the charging voltage doesn’t rise up due to the deteriorated battery or other reasons, the timer
won’t operate properly, continuing to charge the battery.
However, for the truck-mounted type charger, the second timer is operated after charging the battery
for 15 to 17 hours, so that the charging is forcibly terminated and the CHARGING lamp blinks. In
such a case, inspect the cause and contact your TCM dealer.
Note: Have a helper for this procedure.

The drive and pump motors are 3-phase induction motors consisting of a coil-wound frame, rotor
shaft, and brackets. The rear bracket has a rotation sensor incorporated.
2.1.1 DRIVE MOTOR

The drive motor is installed on the drive unit. (See Fig. 2.1.) One end of the drive motor shaft is
splined to the drive unit input gear A and thus the rotating force of the drive motor is transmitted to the
input gear A. The opposite end of the drive motor shaft has a slit plate which detect the rotation with
two sensors.

so that the coil also rotates, following the
magnetic poles. Motors which operate in such a
principle is called an induction motor.

consists of an iron core and three coils A, B, and øB B ib B
C, spaced 120° apart, installed in the iron core A’
slots and connected in Y or delta connection. The 120°
sketch “b” in Fig. 2.5 shows a typical Y (a) (b)
connection which is widely used for the
Fig. 2.5 3-phase Winding
connection of induction motors.
When the directions (A A’, B B’, C C) in which current flows into the coil are regarded as
the positive direction, the current of the coil in each phase at the moment at (a), (b) and (c) in Fig.
2.6, +Im flows into the coil A and –Im/2 flows into both coils B and C. Therefore, the synthetic
magnetic flux in the space becomes (c) to create a magnetic field moving from right to left. This
means that the magnetic pole is located at the right side and the S at the left side. As such, each
moment from - is followed in order, the synthetic magnetic field created by synthetic magnetic
flux is a magnetic field which rotates by 60° clockwise. With time, it rotates to cause a rotating
magnetic field which makes a complete turn per one cycle of alternating current. The poles formed at
each moment are N and S, and thus this type of motor is called a 2-pole motor.

(2) Inspection procedure

Inspect the motors observing the following conditions:
Select a place which is not dusty or humid.
Parts which have been disassembled should be kept in order and the order of disassembly recorded
to ensure correct reassembly.
Screws and wave washers removed should be put in order in boxes.
When removing or reinstalling brackets with a wooden mallet, tap them evenly. Do not use a
metallic hammer.
Use caution not to damage parts, especially stator coil and bearings. Exercise caution not to allow
them to collect moisture, dust, or sand.
Disassembled parts should be cleaned and checked for damage. Any defective parts should be
replaced with new one.
Do not rub a contaminated coil forcefully. Do not use gasoline, petroleum or solvent for cleaning;
otherwise the insulation will be impaired. Use a dry cloth or soft brush for cleaning.
If the insulation resistance of the coil is lower than the specified value, dry the coil by heating it
to 80 – 90°C [176 – 194°F], avoiding local heating, until the insulation resistance is more than
1 MΩ.
Check bolts for looseness, retightening any loose bolt.
For the procedure for checking and servicing the bearings, see 2.2.3 MAINTENANCE OF
BEARINGS.
If the coating is damaged, discolored or exfoliated, apply anti-rust or paint again.
Tighten the terminals securely. Connections must be completely insulated with insulation tape.
After reassembly, make sure that there is not any part left and the bolts and screws are securely
tightened. Turn the shaft by hand to make sure it turns smoothly. Run the motor on a trial basis.
The motor should be stored in a dry, clean place free from alkaline or other harmful gases. The
shaft should be applied with anti-rust and covered with oilpaper or vinyl sheet.

2. MOTORS
2.2.3 MAINTENANCE OF BEARINGS

The service life of bearings varies with the magnitude of loads and operating conditions. Replace
the bearings with new ones when the temperature rises excessively or produces noise.
Sealed bearings sealing in lithium soap-based grease ensure effective lubrication and prevent the
entrance of dust. They can be used for a long period of time without adding grease.
The sealed bearing should be replaced using the following table as a rough guide.
Operation time 8 – 12 hours/day 12 hours/day

Replacement intervals Once very 6 years Once every 3 years
Earlier replacement may be required if the motor is used at a place which is dusty or might cause
the sealed grease to deteriorate or flow out due to the atmosphere of harmful gases or solvent.
(1) Installing bearing

Install the bearing onto the shaft using a pipe (with a patch, if needed), as shown in Fig. 2.7.
When heating the bearing, do not heat to more than 60 to 80°C [140 to 176°F].

(4) Error detection and error prevention warning

1. Error detection
The unload solenoid, steering lock solenoid, rear solenoid, and sideways travel lamp are checked
for a broken wire immediately after the key switch is turned on. If a broken wire is detected, the
error code is set.
The lift, tilt, attachment 1 and attachment 2 joysticks and their respective solenoids are checked
for a broken wire between them for a certain period of time after the truck is started. If a broken
wire is detected, the error code is set. When the attachment 1 and 2 joysticks are not connected,
the attachment 1 and 2 solenoids are checked for a broken wire.
The front right and left wheel angle sensors, sideways travel lever, front right and left wheel
sideways travel solenoids are checked for a broken wire for a certain period of time after the truck
is started. If a broken wire is detected, the error code is set.
2. Error prevention check made immediately after the key switch is turned on.
The relationship between the truck’s status and the sideways travel switch is checked immediately
after the key switch is turned. This is to prevent the truck from taking the sideways travel position
suddenly when the key switch is turned on with the truck in straight travel position and the sideways
travel switch on.
If the truck is in straight position and the sideways travel switch is on when the key switch is
turned on, the sideways travel lamp blinks waiting for the sideways travel switch being turned
off. When the sideways travel switch is turned off, the warning lamp stops blinking.
Table 7 shows the relationship between the truck’s status, sideways travel switch and warning lamp.
The load handling system won’t operate if the key switch is turned on with the lift or tilt joystick
tilted. This prevents the forks or mast from operating abruptly when the key switch is turned on.
Return the tilt or lift joystick to neutral and then shift into an operating position.

3.2 TROUBLESHOOTING
3.2.1 CAUTIONS
(1) Caution to be taken when checking
Before touching any electric part with bare hand, disconnect the battery connectors and then discharge
the capacitor using a 22 Ω/20 - 30 W resistance.
The capacitor may store a voltage a few times greater than the battery voltage. Do not use a conducting
wire or screwdriver for discharging the capacitor; otherwise the terminal might melt or the capacitor
might be deteriorated.
The battery voltage is a high 72 V and thus use caution not to get an electrical shock accident.
When check electrical components, make sure lift the front wheels off the ground surface and block
the rear wheels.
When measuring the circuit, shut off the power supply and set measuring equipment. Then turn the
power supply on again.
(2) Caution to be taken when handling PWB

Observe the following conditions when handling the PWB removed from the truck.
• Do not touch adjustment knobs or switch on the PWB more than necessary.
• When carrying the PWB, put it in an anti-static bag to prevent damage due to static electricity.
(3) Caution to be taken when handling VTM

When handling the VTM, use caution not to allow the PWB to touch any metallic part; otherwise
the lithium battery which backs up memory may be short-circuited so that data be lost or there is fear
of setting on fire or malfunction.
(4) Caution to be taken when replacing PWB

• Record data on the hour meter before replacing the VTM PWB. See “Procedure for transmitting data”.
(5) Caution to be taken when measuring

When measuring the board coupler, use a small insulation probe. Do not apply the tester rods
directly to the coupler. The board might be damaged due to short-circuiting.
3.2.2 HOW TO USE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Check if any error code is displayed or how the problem occurs.
If any error code is displayed on the meter panel, see “3.2.5 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS
KNOWN BY DISPLAY”, and if no error code is displayed on the meter panel, see “3.2.6.
TROUBLESHOOTING INDIVIDUAL PROBLEMS”.

3.2.3 ERROR CODES SHOWN BY LED

Error codes (numbers) are shown by red and green LEDs on the controller CPU board.
Error codes are 2-digit numbers (decimal system) with the second and first digits blinking at an
interval of 0.5 seconds. The second and first digits are separated by 1-second OFF period.
(Example) Error code: 34 (load handling current detector defective)
Repeated hereafter
T10: Second digit blinks 3 times

T1: First digit blinks 4 times
Tb: 1-second separation
T0: 4-second blank before the above step is repeated.
3.2.4 CHECK BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING

(1) Check wiring and terminals for looseness
A loose bolt or nut of the controller terminals will generate heat to cause a burned terminal. If any
looseness or heat build-up is found, polish the contact surface and retighten the bolt or nut securely.
Pay special attention to areas where a large current flows, such as the (P) and (N) terminals and
motor. Especially, a loose (N) terminal might allow a large current to pass through the PWB and in the
worst case it will be damaged.
(2) Check wire harness and cable visually
Check the outer covers of the wire harness and cable and if defective insulate with vinyl tape. If the
internal core wire is damaged, replace the harness or cable.
(3) Check fuses
Check the main fuse (inside the controller) and fuses in the fuse holder.
(4) Check communication line
Check if the communication line is displayed on the meter panel.
The communication line is normal if the mark P/E changes when the switch is switched over. If the
mark is not displayed, see “3.2.6 (1) METER PANEL DOES NOT WORK”.
(5) Check contactor chips
Polish any damaged contactor chip with a small file. If the chip is worn excessively, replace with a
new one.
Check the chip surface for any insulator.
(6) Leaks from the truck body
The wiring of the electric truck is insulated from the frame and thus any electric leak will cause
various problems. Check for electric leaks.
Wipe the battery case surface clean with a wet shop rag or paper and dry by blowing air.
(Criteria)
Wiringside: If the leak resistance is more than 100 kΩ, Frame – truck body receptacle (+)
the wiring condition in the wiring side is normal. Frame – truck body receptacle (-)
Battery side: If the electric leak is less than 1 V with 1 kΩ Frame – battery (+)
impedance, the wiring condition in the battery Frame – battery (-)
side is normal.

3.2.7 INSPECTING MAJOR COMPONENTS

(1) Inspecting FET modules
Place the analog tester into the resistance measurement mode (kΩ) and measure the continuity and
resistance between terminals.
The values shown in Table 3.8 should be used as a rough guide. Note that the values vary according
to the type of tester and internal battery state.
Note 1. Do not touch terminals or soldered parts on the FET device by bare hand because they are
fragile to static electricity.
Note 2. When carrying or storing the FET modules, put them in a destaticized bag to protect against
static electricity and vibration shock.

5. STEERING SYSTEM
5.1.2 ORBITROL
The orbitrol sends pressure oil from the pump selectively to the steering cylinders. It consists
primarily of a control valve and a metering device.
The control valve used in the orbitrol is not an ordinary spool valve whose spool moves in the axial
direction, but a rotary valve which consists of a sleeve and a spool that rotate together forming different
oil passages through the combination of their oil holes. The valve housing is provided with four ports
which lead to the pump, tank, right and left chambers of the cylinder. Between the inlet port and return
port is a check valve.
The metering device consists of an internally toothed stator and an externally toothed rotor. During
normal operation, it operates as an oil motor. In an emergency, it can be used as a hand pump. The
rotor is mechanically linked with the sleeve through the drive shaft so that feedback operation is
possible.
The rotary valve switches over the oil passages using the grooves at the outer periphery of the spool
and the holes in the sleeve. The sleeve is interlocked with the motor’s rotor though the cross pin and
drive shaft while the spool is splined to the steering shaft.

The priority valve, located between the pump and orbitrol, suppresses changes in the pump discharge
due to changes in engine speed, thus keeping the steering force and speed always constant.
This valve has a load sensing function to deliver the necessary flow to supply the steering system
through the CF port.

Sideways driving
When the sideways travel switch is pressed, the solenoids b3, b4, b5 and b6 of the control valve are
energized. (See Fig. 7.53)
Therefore, both the front and rear side cylinders operate to turn the four wheel supports 90°. When
the wheel supports are positioned for sideways driving, the cylinders stop their operation thanks to the
switch.
Note: You can select sideways drive mode only when the change lever is in neutral, the mast tilted
backward (EXA & EXE), and the steering wheel in the straight position. The driver can check
the operating status of the truck by seeing the monitor lamps on the dashboard.
The rotating status of the wheel supports is inputted to the controller by the potentiometer.
In the sideways driving mode, when the F/R lever is put in the reverse position, the truck travels to
the right and when the lever is put in the forward position, the truck travels to the left.

The hydraulic system consists of a main pump, control valve, lift cylinders and tilt cylinders. The
oil is supplied from the tank at the right of the frame.
7.1.1 MAIN PUMP

The main pump is a gear type driven by the motor.
The main pump consists of a pump body, a pair 2 pairs (for the FA30B) of gears, bushings and
packings. This pump uses pressure-balanced bearings and a special lubrication method to minimize
the clearance of the gear flank. The pressure-balanced method is to press the pressure plate toward
the gear side by introducing part of the discharge oil between the pressure plate and the pump body.

(1) Oil flow

The oil which has flowed through the inlet port in the rear cover then enters the area formed by the
tooth spaces of the gears, side plates, and the pump body, and flows along the peripheries of the gears
out of the discharge port.

DISCHARGE PORT SUCTION PORT
: Oil flow
Fig. 7.3 Hydraulic Oil Flow
(2) Pressure balance

While the pump is not operating or the discharge pressure is low, the side plates is pressed against
the gears’ side faces by the “3”-shaped rubber gasket. When the discharge pressure becomes high, a
force which repels the side plates acts on the shaded section in Fig. 7.4. At the same time, the oil
pressure also acts on the back side of the side plates, pressing the shaded section formed by the “3”-
shaped gasket in Fig. 7.5. The shapes and surface areas of both shaded sections are almost the same,
so that the side plates is always pressed against the sides faces of the gears with a constant elastic
force, regardless of the discharge pressure of the pump.

7. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
(3) Body wipe

While the discharge pressure is low, the centers of the gears are almost aligned with the centers of
the pump body holes, maintaining the radial clearance which is determined by machined size. When
the discharge pressure increases, the gears are pushed toward the low-pressure side by the clearance
between the gear and bearing and a deflection of the shaft as shown in Fig. 7.6, to make the gear teeth
to contact with the pump body. During this process, the cast pump body is worn away, because the
gears, which are usually heat treated, are harder than the pump body. This is called “body wipe.”
In order to keep the optimum radial clearance of gears when loaded, the pump is run-in at a little
higher pressure than the rated pressure before it is delivered to the customer. Also, the pump is tested
for discharge and specified torque.

The plungers of the control valve are controlled by the control lever and the valve controller installed
at the right side of the driver’s seat.
The control levers have the shape as shown in Fig. 7.9. It converts the movement of the lever into
a voltage and inputs into the valve controller.
The valve controller sends the amount of current corresponding to the input voltage to the solenoid
of the control valve to control the movement of the plungers.

7.1.4 LIFT CYLINDER

The lift cylinder is a single-acting piston type and consisting of a cylinder, rod, piston, and cylinder
cap. The truck is equipped with two lift cylinders on the outer channels of the mast assembly.
The piston is secured to the rod with a snap ring and has a wear ring and packing on its outer
diameter.
At the bottom of one cylinder is a cut-off valve which will act as a safety device if the high-pressure
hose connecting the right and left cylinders bursts for any reason.
The cylinder cap has a bushing and oil seal pressed to support the rod and provide dust proofness
for the cylinder.
Cut-off valve operation

When the oil in the cylinder returns into the oil tank, it passes through the holes and in the
piston. If the flow rate of the oil passing through those holes is less than the allowable rate, the piston
won’t move.
When the flow rate of oil passing through the holes and becomes greater than the allowable
rate, the pressure differential across the piston produces the force to move the piston to the right.
When this force becomes greater than the spring force, the piston moves to the right.
The oil in the cylinder is blocked by part and thus the oil does not flow out so that the forks stop
dropping.

7.1.5 FLOW REGULATOR VALVE

The flow regulator valve controls for descending speed and acts as a safety device if the high-
pressure hose bursts for any reason. It is located as shown in Figs 7.14 to 7.15.
The oil flowing from the control valve to the lift cylinders is not controlled, but the oil returning
from the lift cylinders is controlled.
Flow regulator valve operation

The oil returning from the lift cylinders enters the chamber , passing through chambers , ,
, and , back to the control valve.
The more the oil flows through the hole in the piston , the greater the pressure differential
across the piston becomes. When the force pressing the piston becomes greater than the force of
the spring , the piston moves to the right.
As the piston moves to the right, the hole is narrowed by the hole so that the oil flow is
restricted to slow the fork descending speed.
When the forks are raised, the oil from the control valve flows, passing through , , , , ,

7.1.6 TILT CYLINDER

The tilt cylinder is a double-acting type, and its piston rod end is supported by the mast and the
cylinder tail is connected to the frame with a pin. This truck is provided with two tilt cylinders on both
sides of the front of the truck.
The tilt cylinder assembly consists primarily of a cylinder body, cylinder cap, piston and piston
rod. The piston, secured to the piston rod with the nut, has two packings and one wear ring on the
circumference and moves along the inner surface of the cylinder by the force of hydraulic oil. Inside
the cylinder cap are a bushing press-fitted and a packing and dust seal installed to provide oil tightness
for the piston rod and cylinder cap, while supporting the piston rod. The cylinder cap, having an “O”-
ring at the outer diameter which comes in contact with the inner surface of the cylinder, is screwed
into the cylinder body.
When the tilt lever is pushed forward, the high-pressure oil enters the cylinder from the cylinder
cap side to move the piston backward, thus tilting the mast forward (6°).
When the tile lever is pulled backward, the high-pressure oil enters the cylinder body from the
cylinder tail side to move the piston forward, thus tilting the mast backward (10°).

7.2 MAINTENANCE
7.2.1 PUMP MAINTENANCE
Cautions
1. Before disassembling the pump, check for oil leaks from the oil seal, the mating section of the
pump body and cover, and other areas.
2. Remove rust, dust and dirt at the shaft end and the pump body. Failure to do so might damage
the parts or allow them to enter the inside of the pump during disassembly, thus misleading your
diagnosis about the pump.
3. The pump has some symmetrical parts. Before disassembling the pump, mark the parts in the
manner shown in the “disassembly procedure”, to ensure correct reassembly. For this purpose,
use oil paint not to damage the parts.
4. Disassembly is a means of finding out the cause of a trouble. Observe the procedure for
disassembling the pump.
5. Before disassembly, make sure you get new packings, gaskets, and oil seals.
(1) Disassembly
Hold the front cover in a vice with the input shaft
side downward.
Notes 1. The bolts will be loosened during
disassembly. Make sure to hold the
front cover in a vice securely as shown
in Figure 7.18, to prevent the pump
from the vice when a force is applied
on the pump.
2. Mark the rear and front covers and the
Fig. 7.18
drive gear side of the pump body with
oil paint.
Turn the four fitting bolts with a torque wrench

in the tightening direction, to check whether they
are properly tightened to 88 - 98 N-m {9 - 10

7.2.2 TRIAL RUN

Trial runs should be performed to run in an assembled pump and to ensure that it delivers the
specified performance. Trial runs are preferably carried on a special test stand, but may be carried out
with the pump on the machine using the following manner:
(If the pump were disassembled because of a seized pump or an abnormally worn internal component,
be sure to change the hydraulic oil and replace the filters with new ones before trying to make a trial
run.)
(a) Install the pump on the truck. Install a pressure gauge on the oil pressure check port of the control
valve.
(b) Loosen the relief valve adjustment screw and operate the pump at 500 to 1000 rpm for about 10
minutes. Make sure the pressure is less than 0.98 MPa {10 kgf/cm2} [142 psi].
(c) Increase the pump speed to 1500 to 2000 rpm and let the pump operate for about 10 minutes.
(d) Keeping the pump speed at 1500 to 2000 rpm, increase the pressure by 2 - 3 MPa {20 to 30 kgf/
cm2} [284 to 427 psi] up to 17.7 MPa {180 kgf/cm2} [2560 psi], letting the pump operate at each
pressure for about 5 minutes. Operate each circuit for 5 minutes and replace the return filter with
a new one.
While increasing the pressure, check the oil temperature and pump surface temperature. Check
also for operating noise. If the oil temperature or pump surface temperature rises excessively,
reduce the load and drop the temperature before continuing the test.
(e) After the test is over, set the oil pressure for 17.7 MPa {180 kgf/cm 2} [2560 psi], perform a
discharge test. The pump discharge is checked by observing the lift speed.

DANGER: Use due caution when handling the battery unit.

1. Never short the circuit, spark, smoke or use fire near the battery unit. Since flammable gas
is always released from the battery, there is a danger of causing an explosion.
2. The battery electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid. It will cause burns if it gets on the skin. If
electrolyte comes in contact with the skin, flush with water. It can cause blindness if it gets
into eyes. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush our eyes out with water and get to a doctor.
