Models: (Curtis) Transistor
controller
Date: January, 1998
Description : Currently a different version of Curtis controller is being installed on all trucks
fitted with the transistor speed controller.
The diferences between the previous installed 1207 Curtis controller and the new 1207A
Curtis controller controller are:
• the new version has no potentiometers for mechanical adjustment and no sliding cover;
• the new version has a different plug for the Programmer;
• the new version has an additional parameter called ‘neutral braking’.
Note: The current Programmer can be used for both versions of Curtis controllers (1207 &
1207A), only a different cable with plug is needed for the new 1207A controller. In
that case the current cable needs to be disconnected from the Programmer and the
new cable need to be connected.
The parameter ‘neutral braking’ has the possibilty to enable plugging braking, when
releasing the accelerator switch to the neutal position during drive.
‘Neutral braking’ is standard disabled (set to OFF), but can be enabled (set to ON) with the
Programmer, depending on the preference of the driver.
Parts available: The part number of the speed controller and the programmer have not
changed, the only new part number is for the ’adapter cable with plug’, needed for the
1207A version speed controller.

Group : Electrical system
Models :
RB14K-25K
Date : January 2002
Problem Description: Alarm "AUX OUTPUT KO" which means that the logic inside the inverter
has a fault in the driver circuit for the magnetic brake
Action required: To improve the reliability of the AC-2 inverters as traction configuration, a diode
needs to be installed over the brake coil instead of the consisting varistor which is installed in
production.
To improve the reach trucks in the field, with next service visit it needs to be checked if the diode is
already installed. If it's not installed yet the diode needs to be installed by following method.
The needed amount of diodes with cables and connectors (partnumber RL464075) will be provided
free of charge and are included in this shipment.
Page 2 shows the schematic before varistor installation and page 3 the schematic afterwards.
Warranty:
Description: During normal truck operation the controller monitors the battery capacity level and if
the adjusted low capacity limit is reached, all lifting functions will be automatically cut out from the
truck operation, until the battery is recharged.
Since production week 12/2002 the lift cut out feature is included as an option on new trucks, fitted
with Multifunctional Digital Indicator (MDI).
The feature is meant for truck models equipped with Zapi controller models SEM 0 and SEM 1
controller that do not have this feature built in. The lift cut out feature is already included in truck
controllers equipped with Zapi COMBI SEM 1.
Installation instruction: Mount the parts to the truck (picture.1) and connect the electrical wiring
according to the circuit diagram 3-6814 (page 2). The use of professional tools to change the
EPROM of the controller is mandatory (picture.2). Verify all parameter settings and adjust the
option number 1 or 2 if needed

Description : There have been some changes to the hydraulic aggregate which is used on
the pedestrian and platform stacker trucks.
The main alteration is the change of the element (picture no.1, ref. no.1), mounted between
the pump motor and the hydraulic tank. The new element is slightly thicker.
Next to the change of the element, there is also a change of the mounting bracket (picture
no.2, ref.no.15) of the hydraulic aggregate. The increase in thickness of the new element
causes a slight reduction of the ground clearance below the hydraulic tank. For this reason
a protection plate is integrated in the new bracket to prevent damage to bottom of the tank.
Parts available: The table and picture below show the parts breakdown of the new
hydraulic aggregate.

Description : The lowering of the mast on the current Reach truck is achieved with the
help of a proportional valve. This valve is operated electrically, when the joystick for
lowering is pushed out of its neutral position.
The function of the lowering proportional valve is adjustable with four small potentiometers,
which are placed on the coil connector of the valve. (See drawing of the connector below).
In order to get access to the potentiometers, the connector retention screw needs to be
loosened and the small cover of the connector needs to be removed.
The four potentiometer a,b,c and d are used to set the following parameters:
a) Dither adjustment; this adjustment is used to set the valve piston’s vibration frequency.
To increase the frequency, turn the potentiometer counterclockwise (CCW).
b) Dead band; this adjustment is used to set initial opening time of the valve. To increase
opening time, turn the potentiometer counterclockwise (CCW).
c) Gain; this adjustment is used to set the maximum opening of the valve and therefore
the maximum lowering speed. To increase the lowering speed, turn the potentiometer
clockwise (CW).
d) Ramp; this adjustment is used to set the acceleration and deceleration time of the forks
during opening and closing the valve. To increase the acceleration / deceleration time,
turn the potentiometer clockwise (CW).
This Service Bulletin is for informational purposes only. MCFE reserves the right to continuously improve the
design of its products. Service Bulletins have no warranty implications.
Bulletin no.: WHSB-06-003 (2/2)
When the Ramp is adjusted, the potentiometer (d) is first turned fully counterclockwise
(CCW), until you hear a “click”. After that the potentiometer is turned 1.5 - 2 full turns
clockwise (CW). The lowering of the forks is checked on every half turn. When the lowering
of the forks is smooth and the stop of the forks is not bouncy, then the adjustment is
correct.
Note: The Ramp adjustment is dependent on the wishes of the driver and the delicacy of
the application.
In extremely delicate applications, the maximum lowering speed can be slightly reduced by
turning the potentiometer (c) for Gain adjustment a little counterclockwise. This way you will
increase the smoothness and controllability of the lowering and stopping of the forks.

Description : In the beginning of this year some compound drive motors have been
installed on the smaller pedestrian power pallet and stacker trucks equipped with the 230
gearbox. The compound drive motor is replacing the serial drive motor originally installed
on these trucks.
This same compound drive motor is already in use on the stacker trucks with platform, to
create two different maximum drive speeds, one with the platform up and one with the
platform down. To achieve the lower speed, when the platform is up, the compound coils
are connected parallel to the normal field coils. This way you will have a stronger field and
a lower maximum speed, in addition you will have a higher torque and a higher motor
power rating (0.8 kW). To achieve the higher speed, when the platform is down, the
compound coils are disconnected. This way you will have a weaker field and a higher
maximum speed, in addition you will have a lower torque and a lower motor power rating
(0.62 kW).
The compound motor installed on the above mentioned models is always connected with
the compound coils parallel to the field coils, so you will have the lower maximum drive
speed, a higher torque and therefore also the higher motor output of 0.8 kW.
Please note that the power rating mentioned on the label of the motor is 0.62 kW, even
though the actual power rating of the motor in this situation is 0.8 kW!

Description : When installing the power steering motor to the truck, special attention has
to be given to the tightening of the retention bolts.
The steering motor is mounted on a ring of flexible material, therefore the four retention
bolts have to be tighten with a special torque of 12Nm. Furthermore Loctite needs to be
applied to prevent the bolts from loosening.
Loose bolts may cause an increased noise level during steering operation.
Before installing the four M8 retention bolts make sure they are free of dirt and grease.
Apply Loctite 270 abundantly to the thread of the bolts and the mounting plate for a secure
fix. The required torque for the bolts is 12Nm.

Date: April, 1999
Description : On trucks fitted with the Fly By Wire (FBW) electric power steering it can
happen that the drive wheel is turning very slowly by itself to the clockwise or counter
clockwise direction. In this case the controller activates the power steer motor without an
input from the steering wheel tachometer.
Cause : The unwanted steering action is caused by an incorrect fine-adjustment of the zero-
position potentiometer of the FBW-controller.
Action : The next procedure has to be followed to correct the unwanted steering action.
1. Remove warranty seal from the FBW-controller;
2. Open the cover of the controller (6 screws);
3. Connect a multimeter to the M1 and M2 poles of the power steer motor;
4. Adjust the multimeter to measure DC-Voltage;
5. Turn on the power of the truck with the key switch;
6. Check if the steering system works;
7. Find the zero-position potentiometer P1 in the corner of the controller (see picture);
8. Break the lacquer seal on the potentiometer with a screw driver;
9. Adjust the potentiometer in the ‘standby mode’ with the multimeter to 0 V + 0.02;
If the drive wheel turns clockwise, turn the potentiometer P1 clockwise;
If the drive wheel turns counter clockwise, turn the potentiometer P1 counter clockwise;
10. Check once again if drive wheel is not turning when not steering;
11. Seal the potentiometer with lacquer or a similar kind of sealing;
12. Power off the truck with the key switch;
13. Remove the multimeter;
14. Close the cover of the FBW-controller.

10. Remove the sheet metal bar at the base of the tiller arm (1).
Use a piece of rope or similar to hold the tiller arm in the upright position when
changing the spring.
To remove the old gas spring, use a small screwdriver to lift the clips (2) on both
heads of the spring. Remove the spring.
11. Remove the old ball-head screw on the top of the old spring (1).
Replace the ball-head screw at the base of the tiller arm (2) with the new one
that came with the gas spring. Put some grease on the heads of both new
ball-head screws.
12. Attach the lower end of the new gas spring first. Make sure that the orientation of

NOTE:
The gas spring must be installed so that the piston rod points down.
This ensures optimum lubrication of the guidance and sealing system.
13. Attach the top end of the spring. The spring has an initial load; therefore some
is required to mount its top end. Use a mid-size box wrench (e.g. 16mm) and a
large screwdriver to lever it in place.

14. When the new spring is mounted, put the sheet metal bar back in place (1) and
stow away the cables inside the tiller arm (2,3). Make sure that the cables do not
hinder the movement of the tiller arm. Use cable ties where necessary.
15. Put the gas spring cover back on and close the main compartment.
Check that the tiller arm operates correctly (movement and electrical functions).
Note that after the modification there will remain a small opening at the top end
of the gas spring cover.
If you have any questions concerning the modification, please do not hesitate to
