Date: January, 1998
Subject : Change of Curtis transistor controller
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.

Subject : Change of directional relay for improved reliability
Description : On the current Reach trucks the directional relay K44 (P/N RL196118) has
been replaced by two identical relays K45 and K46 (P/N 801352).
Enclosed you will find the new circuit diagram TS600198, showing the details of the
improvement.
Together with the relays, also the wire set for the relays (P/N RL450020) has been
changed to a new wire set (P/N RL450050).
In case of malfunction with the relay K44, it can easily be replaced by the new relays K45
and K46, by connecting them as shown on page 3 and 4 of the new circuit diagram. In this
case no change of the wire set is needed.
Start date: The changes have been in production since week 01 of 1998.

Subject : Set-up of a new logic unit
Description : When a new logic unit for traction & hydraulics (ZAPI) has been installed on
a reach truck, the following three steps should be carried out:
1. All parameters and options need to be set, one by one;

2. The minimum and maximum position of the accelerator pedal needs to be programmed;
3. The minimum and maximum position of the lift lever needs to be programmed.
For all the three steps which need to be carried out, a special tool called “Zapi-
programmer” is needed. This tool can be ordered through the MCFNET spare parts
system with the part number RL199256.
Use the following procedure to connect the Zapi-programmer to the controller:

− Turn the key switch off and press the emergency stop button;
− Disconnect the harness connector “B” from the controller;
− Plug the connector of the Zapi-programmer into connector “B” of the controller;
− Release the emergency stop button and turn the key switch on.
Now the Zapi-programmer is ready for use.
(On page 2 you will find an overview of the available menu’s and sub-menu’s of the
Zapi-programmer.)
STEP 1: Setting of options and parameters

Connect the Zapi-programmer to the controller and go to the “Main Menu”, sub-menu
“Parameter Change”. Roll through the various parameters one by one and set the values to
the factory setting, (or an other value if required).
Now go to the “Config. Menu”, sub-menu “Set Options”. Roll through the various options
one by one and set them all to the factory setting.
(On page 3 you will find an overview of the factory settings for the parameters and the
options.)
STEP 2: Programming of the accelerator

The minimum and maximum value of the accelerator have to be programmed for both the
forward and the reverse drive directions. To do this you will have to go to the “Main Menu”,
sub-menu ‘Program Vacc”. Now use the following procedure:
− Select forward drive;

− Press “enter” to clear the values, the display will show 0V for both min. and max.;
− Press the dead man’s pedal and slowly the accelerator pedal, the display will show
approx. 1V as a minimum value and 10V as a maximum value;
− Press “out” while holding the accelerator pedal in the maximum position;
− Press “enter”;
− Now select reverse drive and follow the previous procedure.
STEP 3: Programming of the lift lever

Both the minimum and the maximum value of the lift lever have to be programmed. To do
this you will have to go to the “Config. Menu”, sub-menu “Adjustments”. Now use the
following procedure:
− Roll to “Set lift minimum”;
− Press “enter” to clear the value;
− Pull the lift lever a little and hold it in the lowest position above zero;
− Press “enter”;
− Press “out”;
− Press “enter” to save the programmed value;
− Now roll to “Set lift maximum” and program the value with the lift lever in the maximum
position following the previous procedure.

Subject : Adjustment of the BDI
Description : On the display of the reach truck we have the possibility to adjust the reading of
the battery discharge indicator (BDI).
The BDI reading can be changed by changing the

position of the jumper on the printed board of
display.
To access the jumper:
• remove the display unit from the console;
• remove the four screws of the cover plate;
• gently pull the display out of its black housing;
• the jumper can be found on the rear side of the
printed board, behind the two red diagnostic
LED’s. Display Unit
RL199182
The jumper is covered with a piece of tape to
prevent it from falling out.
On the current displays you can find only one jumper and a total of 7 jumper positions placed in
one row, marked with; +3, +2, +1, 0, -1, -2 and -3.
Each jumper position agrees with a different battery discharge curve; battery voltage vs. charge
level.
Standard on this display the jumper is placed on the position marked with “0”.
In the near future the displays will be equipped also with 7 jumper positions, but then with two
jumpers. With this set up we will be able to select 13 different discharge curves.
On this display the two jumpers will be in the positions that agree with discharge curve “0”.
On page 2 you can find the information about the different discharge curves of the current
display (version A), with only one jumper.
On page 3 you can find the information about the different discharge curves of the new display
(version B) with two jumpers.
The part number of the display will not change.

Subject: AC-2 INVERTER FOR THE REACH TRUCK FAMILY
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.
§ Set truck key switch to OFF.

§ Disconnect X34 (close to the magnetic brake).
§ Cut off the varistor wiring as close as possible to connector X34 (Picture A), this to avoid short
circuit in the future.
§ Connect the additional adapter to X34 male and female (Picture B).
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.

Subject: Lift Cut Out Option Kit Information
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

Subject: Software setting change electromagnetic brake function.
Description: If the operator brakes by releasing the tiller arm, a certain amount of
brake energy will be dissipated in the electromagnetic brake. In heavy
applications this can lead to overheating of the electromagnetic brake.
Solution: By changing two software settings, the following can be achieved:

• The truck will decelerate strongly on regenerative braking when
the tiller arm is released.
• The electromagnetic brake will be applied immediately after the
truck has stopped.
Action required: Two parameter settings need to be changed.

You will need the Schwarzmuller hand programmer (part number
RL469054) to change the settings.
§ Set truck master switch to OFF.

§ Connect hand programmer to X7 on the speed controller.
§ Set truck master switch to ON.
§ Use the “UP” or “DOWN” button to select parameter “Stop mode
tiller”
§ Use the “RIGHT” or “LEFT” button to select- and the “UP” and
“DOWN” button to change the value.
§ Set value to “2”.
§ Save new setting by pressing the “ENTER” button.
§ Use the “UP” or “DOWN” button to select parameter “Dec. belly +
tiller”
§ Use the “RIGHT” or “LEFT” button to select- and the “UP” and
“DOWN” button to change the value.
§ Set value to or close to 6.00 kmh/s
§ Save new setting by pressing the “ENTER” button.
§ Set master switch OFF
§ Set master switch ON
§ Check the changed settings once again.
Remark: In case of replacement of the speed controller, the parameter settings

should be checked and changed if necessary.

Subject : Change of hydraulic aggregate
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.

Subject : Procedure for (factory) setting of the mast lowering function
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).
The factory setting of the four potentiometers are:

a) Dither adjustment: maximum counterclockwise CCW (It is advised to leave this
adjustment unchanged!)
b) Dead band adjustment: maximum counterclockwise CCW (It is advised to leave this
adjustment unchanged!)
c) Gain adjustment: maximum clockwise CW
d) Ramp adjustment: between 1.5 - 2 full turns clockwise CW
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.

Subject : Mounting of reach carriage hose clamp on Euroseries Reach trucks
Description : On the Euroseries Reach trucks the hose clamp is mounted to the reach
carriage with two M6x40 bolts.
The bolt heads should not stick out of the hose clamp profile. If they do so, they may rub
against the mast side hoses and cause breaches.
Position of hose clamp

With this bulletin we advise you to check the mounting of the hose clamp at the next
service interval.
In case the bolt heads do stick out of the hose clamp profile, the washers fitted underneath
have to be removed.

Subject: SBR12K - CHANGE IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Description:
Upon field feedback and request from customers, our SBR12K truck models will be
equipped with a new hydraulic system.
The new system now comes with a separate plastic hydraulic oil tank, hydraulic
pump, pump motor and proportional valve.
This modification will decrease the lifting noise level and allow for higher lowering
speeds (equal to SBR16K) due to the changed valve.

Description : The lift cylinder seals in the current parts books for the Reach trucks are
incomplete and some of the part numbers are incorrect.
The drawing below shows the set-up of the seals as they are placed in the head of the
outer cylinders and free-lift cylinders.
In general the seals can be divided into two groups;

1) For trucks with a nominal capacity of 1400/1600 kg, (piston rod diameter is ø 40mm).
2) For trucks with a nominal capacity of 2000/2500 kg, (piston rod diameter is ø 45mm).

Subject : Change from serial motor to compound motor
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!
Parts available: The following compound motor parts are serviced:

Subject : Change of drive unit + mounting
Description : Starting the first quarter of 1997 a new drive unit is being installed on the
above mentioned models. This new drive unit replaces the 230 gearbox and drive motor, as
currently mentioned in the parts books. Also the mounting of the drive unit and the drive
wheels have changed.
The new drive unit can easily be recognized, since the housing of the drive motor and
gearbox are integrated, while the 230 drive unit had a separate gearbox and drive motor.
Furthermore the drive wheel has 5 mounting holes instead of 4 on the drive wheel of the
230 gearbox.
Parts available: The following parts of the new drive unit are serviced:

Subject : Mounting of the steering motor
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
Subject : Steering controller zero-position adjustment
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.

Date: July 2005
Subject: Instructions for AC Pedestrian Power Pallet tiller arm modification
Description: When replacing the old type tiller arm gas spring (Part Nr. RL462527)
on the AC pedestrian power pallet trucks with the new one as used
in current production, the below mentioned kit is needed.
Parts: Gas spring replacement kit (Part Nr. RL479611)
Replacement procedure
1. Disconnect the battery connector before making any modifications on the truck.
2. Remove the sheet metal cover at the base of the tiller arm.
3. Open the main compartment of the truck.
WHSB-02-005 (2/8)
4. In order to mount the new gas spring, an opening has to be cut into the base of
the tiller arm.
5. Cut the marked opening using a hacksaw or similar hand cutting tool. Please be
very careful not to damage the cables inside the tiller arm.
WHSB-02-005 (3/8)
6. Remove the cutout material by first bending it up (1,2), then sawing a horizontal
cut
(3) and finally breaking it away (4). Use a file to remove any sharp edges (5,6).

7. Mark the locations of the new holes. All distances are measured from the fastening
bolt of the old gas spring and the surface of the tiller arm.
WHSB-02-005 (4/8)
8. Drill the marked holes. Please note that the holes have different diameters.
Again, make sure the cables do not get damaged in the process. After drilling the
holes, use a small file to remove any burrs on the edges.
9. Screw the top end ball-head screw of the new gas spring tightly onto the plate.
Place the fixing plate (2) on the inside of the tiller arm and fasten it using the
screws (3) and washers (4) from the kit.
Both washer discs are to be mounted on the outside of the tiller arm (5).
WHSB-02-005 (5/8)
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
WHSB-02-005 (6/8)
the spring is correct: The piston rod must point downwards.
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.
WHSB-02-005 (7/8)
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).
The modification is now complete.
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
WHSB-02-005 (8/8)
contact our technical support department.
