been many styles of brake modules used. All of the brake modules that have been used function the same
other than that the location of the manual adjustment controls may vary.
The brake module will be located under the dash tray to the left of the steering column. It has a red indicator
light (LED), a Thumb wheel braking force adjustor, a Pendulum level adjustment lever, and a Manual
Braking lever.
As the vehicle slows during braking, the brake module sends a signal to the trailer energizing the trailer
brakes. This signal is proportional depending on how fast the vehicle is stopping.

LED: The LED’s brightness is related to the braking force


at the trailer, dim with little or no signal to bright at maximum
braking force. Once the vehicles has stopped, the LED
will remain at it’s dimmest intensity as long as the brake
pedal is depressed.

Thumb wheel: The thumb wheel is used to adjust how


much braking force is sent to the trailer brakes. Rotate the
thumb wheel upward towards the top of the housing to
increase the braking force.

Pendulum Lever: The brake sensor inside the module


must be level for it to function correctly. The pendulum
lever is used to level the internal brake sensor. Perform
the following steps to adjust the sensor:

1 This adjustment must be done with the trailer disconnected from the vehicle.
2 Stop the vehicle on a level surface but do not release the brake pedal.
3 Adjust the thumb wheel to its minimum position downward towards the bottom of the module case.
4 Pull the pendulum towards the front of the module case. The LED should be at it’s maximum intensity.
5 Slowly push the pendulum towards the rear of the module case and stop when the LED just reaches
its minimum intensity. The pendulum should be very close to vertical.
6 Repeat the previous two steps a few times to be sure that the pendulum is at the correct position.
Manual Braking Lever: The manual braking lever can be used to manually apply the trailer brakes. Slide
the lever to the left to apply the brakes. The braking force is proportional depending on how far the lever is
moved.

Maintenance Monitor:
NOTE: The Maintenance Monitor function is optional.
The Maintenance Monitor function can be
turned ON or OFF by your dealer.
Operation: The SMD notifies the operator 10-hours
(standard) before a scheduled maintenance is due.
During this warning period, the meter will continue to
alert the operator. This should allow sufficient time for
the operator to schedule the maintenance that is due,
with minimal down time. If the scheduled maintenance
is not performed before the warning period elapses, then

Warning period: The warning starts when the
Maintenance Indicator is ON and the Wrench icon is
flashing. The Wrench icon will continue to flash until the
warning time has expired.
Maintenance Due: Once the warning has expired and
the maintenance is due, the Wrench icon will stop
flashing and remain ON. Additionally, the vehicles
maximum speed will be significantly reduced until the
maintenance is performed and the display is reset. The
display should only be reset by an authorized technician.
Refer to the Illustrated parts section for information
regarding tools required to reset the Smart View Display.

Speed controller status: The display will indicate a fault


code whenever the control system logic detects a
problem with the control system. A fault code is being
displayed whenever the Fault Code Indicator (the letter
‘F’) is visible at the left of the numeric display. Refer to
the fault code table in this section for a summery

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR


SEVERE DUTY APPLICATIONS
1. This maintenance checklist is based on the average application. If the vehicle is operated under
“severe conditions”, service procedures should be conducted more frequently than specified. The
frequency of service under severe conditions is determined by the use of the vehicle. The owner/
operator must evaluate the operating environment to determine the increase in maintenance frequency.
In addition, the whole vehicle should be inspected monthly for signs of damage. The damage must be
repaired immediately.
The following list is meant as a guide and is not all-inclusive of a “severe duty” application.
• Extreme temperature.
• Bumpy, dusty, or ill maintained roads.
• Excessively wet areas.
• Corrosive or contaminated areas.

Current Taylor-Dunn® brakes are asbestos free. However, there is the


possibility that the original brakes were replaced with aftermarket
parts containing asbestos. Since this possibility exists, all brake parts
should be handled as if they contain asbestos. Refer to Appendix C for
recommended handling precautions.

NOTE: The brake pad must be removed to accurately measure the lining
thickness. Refer to Replace the Front or Rear Brake Pads section
for information on removing the brake pads.
Measure the brake pad lining at the thinnest point on the pad. If the brake pad lining is 1/16-inch or less
then the brake pad must be replaced.

master cylinder chamber.

• Only use DOT 3 brake fluid from a new sealed container.


• DOT 3 brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paint finishes.
• Dispose of brake fluid in accordance with local state and federal
regulations.
• Read and follow all warnings on the brake fluid container.

8. The master cylinder fluid level will drop as the brakes are bled. Periodically check and fill the
master cylinder during this procedure. Do not allow the fluid level in the master cylinder to drop
too low as this will allow air into the brake lines.
9. Attach a clear hose to the bleeder valve on the brake
cylinder that is to be bled. Route the hose into a
clear container for waste brake fluid.
10. Pump the brake pedal a few times and then press
and hold light pressure to the brake pedal.
11. Open the bleeder valve on the hydraulic brake body.
12. Depress the foot pedal to the floor and then close
the bleeder valve. Do not release pressure on the
brake pedal until the bleeder valve is closed.
13. Slowly release the foot pedal, allowing it to return
to its released position.
Bleeder valve with hose attached
NOTE: Check and fill the master cylinder frequently during the bleeding
process. Do not allow the fluid level in the master cylinder to drop
low enough to allow air to enter the brake lines. If air enters the
brake lines during the bleeding process, then you will have to start
again from the beginning.

Always use brake fluid from a new sealed container. Never reuse any
brake fluid that has been removed from the brake system. Use of
contaminated brake fluid will degrade the braking performance and
may cause property damage or severe bodily injury.

14. Repeat the above steps until you are sure that all of the air is expelled from the brake line. Any air
bubbles that can be seen in the clear hose attached to the bleeder is an indication that there is
still air in the brake lines.
15. Repeat this process with each of the other wheels.
NOTE: When finished, top off the master cylinder with fluid. See Check
Master Cylinder Fluid for information on filling the master
cylinder.
16. Reconnect the main positive and negative cables at the batteries.

2. Measure the diameter of the commutator.


• If the commutator is less than the minimum
diameter specified in section Service Limits,
then the motor must be replaced.

3. Measure the commutator undercut depth in 5-places


around the commutator. Undercut

• If any one of the measurements is less than the


Hacksaw blade Armature
minimum undercut depth specified in Service Incorrect Correct
Insulation
Limits at the end of this section, then the
commutator must be undercut. Refer to Repair
Commutator section for information regarding
undercutting the commutator. Min. OD

4. Inspect the commutator for groves.


• If the commutator is grooved then it must be
machined on a lathe. Do not machine the Commutator
commutator past the minimum diameter
specified in Service Limits section. Refer to
Repair Commutator section for information
regarding machining the commutator.
5. Inspect the commutator for burn marks.
• Burn marks and/or raised commutator segments
90 or 180 degrees apart is evidence of a shorted
armature. A tool called a growler is required to
reliably test for a shorted armature.
6. Inspect the commutator for raised segments. Raised
segments could be a result of a stalled motor or
shorted armature. A tool called a growler is required
to reliably test for a shorted armature.
• If the armature is not shorted then the raised
segments can be removed by machining the
commutator. Do not machine the commutator
past the minimum diameter specified in Service Typical burn mark on a shorted armature
Limits section. Refer to Repair Commutator
section for information regarding machining the
commutator.

7. Visually inspect the armature windings for burnt insulation. Burnt insulation is a direct result of
motor overheating and could lead to a shorted armature.
• If the insulation is cracked or burnt, then it is recommend that the armature or motor be
replaced.
NOTE: If the armature has been burnt then there is a good possibility that
the field windings may also be burnt. Symptoms indicating a shorted
field include high motor current, lack of power and possibly
excessive speed.
8. Using a growler, test the armature for shorts.
• If the armature is shorted, then we recommend that the armature or motor be replaced.

CLEANING
Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are present within battery cells
at all times. Do not work with or charge battery in an area where
open flames (including gas furnace or water heater pilots), sparks,
cigarettes, or any other sources of combustion are present. Always
provide ample ventilation in rooms where batteries are being charged.
Failure to do so may result in severe bodily injury and/or property
damage.

Battery electrolyte is poisonous and dangerous. It contains sulfuric


acid. Avoid contact with skin eyes or clothing. Wear rubber gloves
and safety glasses while servicing batteries. DO NOT INGEST! This
may result in severe bodily injury.

A battery is a live electrical source. It cannot be disconnected or


neutralized. Do not drop any tool or conductive object onto the battery.
A conductive object that comes in contact with the battery terminals
will initiate a short circuit of the battery. This could cause the battery
to explode resulting in severe bodily injury and/or property damage.

Battery electrolyte will stain and corrode most surfaces. Immediately


and thoroughly clean any surface outside of the battery that the
battery electrolyte comes in contact with. Failure to clean may result
in property damage.

1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove


the key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
5. Disconnect the main positive and negative cables at the batteries.

6. Dry dirt can be readily blown off with low-pressure air or brushed off.
7. Wetness or wet dirt on the batteries indicates battery acid. Using a nonmetallic brush with
flexible bristles, wash the batteries off with a strong solution of baking soda and hot water (1
lb. of soda to a gallon of water). Continue until all fizzing stops, which indicates that the acid
has been neutralized. Then rinse thoroughly with clear water. DO NOT get any of the solution
into the battery cells.
8. Reconnect the batteries, remove the blocks from the wheels and test drive.

Maintenance, Service, and Repair

Specific Gravity Test


NOTE: The batteries must be fully charged before performing this test.
The specific gravity of a cell is an indication of the actual state of charge of
the cell. A fully charged cell should have a reading of 1275 to 1300 (see the
illustration to the right). A discharged battery will read 1100. Ideally, all cells in
a battery pack will have the same reading. Any cells in a battery pack that
vary by more than 30-points may be an indication of a bad cell.
Clean the batteries. Refer to Cleaning the Batteries section for information
on cleaning the batteries.
Using part number 77-200-00 hydrometer, check and record the specific gravity
of each cell in the battery pack.
If, after charging, none of the cells exceed a hydrometer reading of 1250
then there may be a fault in the charging system. If the charging system
checks OK then the batteries are no longer accepting a charge and should be
replaced.
NOTE: Refer to Charger Troubleshooting for information on
checking the charging system.
The highest reading will be the cell that is accepting the most charge. This
reading will be used to gauge all other cells.
Typical Hydrometer Float
Compare the specific gravity readings to the highest reading, if the difference
between any of the cells is more than 30-points, then that battery should be replaced.
NOTE: If the batteries are over one year old, it is recommended to replace
them as a set.
Reconnect the batteries, remove the blocks from the wheels and test drive.

WATERING
NOTE: The electrolyte level in a battery rises while charging and will be
close to its highest level after the end of a charging cycle. It is
recommended to fill the batteries at the end of a charging cycle. If
the electrolyte is below the top of the battery plates then fill just
enough to cover the plates and then top off when the charging
cycle is complete.

If the voltage is within 1-volt, then one of the four
following faults may have occurred:
Broken Wire: Check the wire from pin #8 in the 12-
pin logic card connector to the contactor coil negative terminal for open circuits.
Welded Solenoid Contacts: Test the solenoid for welded contact tips. There are two methods
for checking the contacts:
1. Disconnect the batteries and test the continuity across the contacts. If there is
continuity then the contact tips are welded.
2. With the key switch OFF, check the voltage at the B+ terminal on the Sevcon control
(see illustration on following page). If the voltage at the B+ terminal is at full battery
voltage then the contact tips are welded.
NOTE: Welded tips should be accompanied by a 4-flash code from the logic LED.
Shorted Solenoid Coil: Disconnect the logic card connector and measure the resistance
across the solenoid coil. Depending on the solenoid or contactor you vehicle is equipped
with, the resistance should be 25 ohms or higher (nominal). A reading less than 25 ohms

module to the analyzer.
Position the power switch to the 0-5 volt range.
All but the power lamp should be OFF. If the
FS-1, FS-3 or OV lamp (Over Voltage) are ON,
then the module is faulty.
Depress the lever on the module. The FS-1
lamp should be ON with no more that a few
degrees of rotation. If the FS-1 lamp does not
come on, then the module is faulty (see note
below).
The voltage on the digital display should vary
with the position of the module arm, starting at
0-volts and ending at approximately 5-volts.
If the OV lamp comes ON at any time, then the
module is faulty.
If the Low battery lamp is ON, then the analyzer
battery should be replaced.
Additional information regarding the analyzer
can be found in the instructions provided with
the analyzer (D0-110-53)

NOTE: Failures of the FS-1 circuit indicate a possible vehicle wiring fault that has
resulted in a short circuit across FS-1. BEFORE REPLACING THE
MODULE: Confirm that there are no shorts in the vehicle wiring or
components. Installing a replacement module in a vehicle with faulty wiring
will burn out the new module.

Test 8. ANTI-ROLLOFF FAULT


The Sevcon Controller is equipped with a feature called Anti-Rolloff. Anti-Rolloff will
automatically slow the vehicle if it starts to roll. Anti-Rolloff is active when the key switch has
been left in the “ON” position and the accelerator pedal is not depressed. Anti-Rolloff is
deactivated when the key switch is in the “OFF” position When the key switch is in the “ON”
position and the truck is stationary, the controller supplies a small current to the field. This
current is used to sense if the armature is rotating. As the armature begins to rotate, the
controller senses a fault condition and then supplies current to the field opposing the armature
rotation, slowing the vehicle.
Refer to Motor Specifications Table for information on the maximum allowable field current
when the Anti-Rolloff feature is active.

To test the Anti-rolloff feature:


Park the vehicle on a flat level surface, turn the key switch OFF and apply the parking brake.
Connect an analog Ammeter in series with the motor field windings or a clamp on Ammeter on
one of the field wires that is capable of reading up to 25-Amps.
Place the forward and reverse switch in the center OFF position and turn the key switch ON

TEST #8.1
Read the motor field current on the Ammeter.
If the field current is greater than specified in the Motor Specification table (see Motor
Service section for specifications), then the Anti-Rolloff feature has failed. Check the
status of the Anti-Rolloff feature using the hand held calibrator (62-027-61).

TEST #8.2

While monitoring the motor field current, release the park brake, and push the vehicle.

The surface must be level for this test. Do not attempt to test the
Anti-Rolloff by pushing up or down an incline. Testing by pushing up
or down an incline could result in injury or property damage.

Within approximately 10-feet, the field current should rise dramatically and the vehicle should
become difficult to push. Now stop pushing the vehicle and allow it to come to a complete stop.
The field current should drop down below the value specified in the Motor Specification table.
This indicates that the Anti-Rolloff feature is operating normally.
If the current does not rise, then the Anti-Rolloff feature has failed or has been turned
off.
The status of the Anti-Rolloff feature can be checked with the hand held calibrator.
If the Anti-Rolloff feature is on and the field current did not rise, then the controller has
failed and must be replaced.
If the Anti-Rolloff feature is off then the controller logic must be reprogrammed. Contact
your dealer.

Test 9. ELECTRIC MOTOR BRAKE

Description:
The electric motor brake is a 24-volt electromagnetic disc brake mounted between the drive motor
and the primary reduction gear case. The brake is controlled by the speed controller logic. At what
times the brake is applied or released is dependent on the controller programing and will vary
depending on the model vehicle.

Operation:
B+ is supplied to the brake when the key switch is turned on. When the control logic determines that
it is time to start, it provides B- at 24-volts through pin #9 on the logic card connector.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND THEORY OF OPERATION


The Lestronic II® chargers are designed as semiautomatic chargers. The Lestronic II® charger turns itself
on when the “built- in” charger is plugged into the wall outlet, or when the “portable” charger is plugged into
the batteries. As the battery charges, the battery voltage rises. The charger periodically checks the battery
voltage and compares it to the previous reading. When the battery voltage stops rising a predetermined
amount, then the batteries are no longer accepting a charge and the charger shuts off. The charger will not
start again unless the AC cord on a “built-in” charger is disconnected from the wall outlet, or the DC plug on
a portable charger is disconnected from the batteries.
The charger does not check the current state of charge when it is plugged in, it assumes that the batteries
require charging when it is connected. For this reason, it is recommended to discharge the batteries
approximately 50% (1175-1200 as indicated on a hydrometer) before connecting the charger. If the charger
is connected before the batteries are discharged 50%, the batteries may enter an overcharge state before
the charger can sense that the batteries are no longer accepting a charge. This could result in overcharging
and damaging the batteries.
The relay that operates the charger is powered by the batteries being charged. If the voltage on the
batteries to be charged is less than approximately 65% of the rated charger DC voltage, the relay will not
pick up and the charger will not turn on. In this situation, a manual charger would have to be used to bring
the battery voltage up so that the Lestronic® charger can sense that they are connected and turn itself on.

Not all chargers are equipped


with the lockout relay

TESTING THE CHARGING CYCLE


In typical installations, the charger will remain on for up to 12 hours depending on the state of charge of the
battery when the charge cycle was started.
A charger could remain on for longer than 12 hours if:
• The charging cycle is interrupted at any time during the charging cycle.
• Defective batteries causing a fluctuating DC voltage that confuses the charger.
• A brownout (drop in AC line voltage) during the charging cycle.
• An electrically noisy charging environment.
A charger could turn off in less than 12 hours, but still show symptoms of overcharging if:
• The batteries were not discharged to 50% before connecting the charger.
• The electrolyte in the batteries is too high (boil over).
• The electrolyte in the batteries is too low (excessive gassing or sulfur smell).

To test the charger to see if it is turning off correctly, monitor the battery
voltage and the electrolyte specific gravity during the charging cycle as
indicated below.
Specific Gravity
Using a hydrometer take the specific gravity reading of several cells, at 1 hour intervals while charging. If
the specific gravity of the electrolyte does not rise for three consecutive readings and the charger does not
shut off, then the charger is running too long.
Battery Voltage
Using an accurate 5-1/2 digit digital voltmeter, monitor the battery voltage during the charging cycle. Take
readings every 30 minutes. If the battery voltage does not increase 0.012 volts in two consecutive readings,
then the charger is running too long.

Slide the insulators off the connectors on the two 10 gauge wires and perform the following tests:

Make sure that these two wires do not come into electrical contact
with any other object.

6. Test the voltage from the red wire to the main battery negative. This voltage should
be equal to the battery voltage. If the voltage is less than the battery voltage, then
this wire is broken or has a bad connection. Stop here and repair the problem.

7. Test the voltage from the red 10 gauge wire (+) to the other 10 gauge wire (white
or black depending on model). This voltage should be equal to the battery voltage.
If the voltage is less than the battery voltage, then the white (or black) wire is
broken or has a bad connection. Stop here and repair the problem.

Slide the insulators back onto the connectors on the two 10 gauge wires.
Slide the insulators off the connectors on the two 14 gauge wires.

High Voltage. Do not touch the 14-gauge wires and make sure these
two wires do not come into electrical contact with any other object.
Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury.

Re-Connect the charger to the AC source.


8. Test the voltage across the two 14 gauge wires. This voltage should be the same
as the voltage at the AC receptacle (rated voltage of the charger). If the voltage is
less than the rated AC voltage of the charger then the 14 gauge white or black
wire(s) is broken or has a bad connection between the charger connectors and
the AC plug. Stop here and repair the problem.

• If there is an open circuit, then the timer relay has failed and the relay must be replaced.

TESTING THE INTERLOCK RELAY


Operation
The Interlock Relay disables the vehicle from running whenever the charger is connected to a working AC
power source. When the charger is plugged in, the relay contacts open and break the Key Switch connection
to the speed controller. The Interlock Relay is available for built-in chargers only. Not all built-in chargers
are equipped with this relay. To identify chargers that are equipped with the Interlock Relay:
Inspect the charger wire harness where it enters the charger cabinet for two Violet/Black
wires. If these wires are present then the charger is equipped with the Interlock Relay.
Testing

1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove the
key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
5. Disconnect the main positive and negative cables at the batteries.

6. Disconnect the charger from the AC power source.


7. Disconnect the two Violet/Black wires at the charger harness knife connectors.
8. Set the DMM to check for continuity and connect the DMM leads to the wires
going into the charger.
• The DMM should indicate a closed circuit. If the DMM indicates an open circuit, then the relay
or the wires to the relay have failed. Stop here and repair the problem.

9. Connect the charger to a working AC power source.


• The charger should turn on. If the charger does not turn on then their may be a problem with the
AC power source or the AC wiring to the charger. Refer to the beginning of this section for
charger troubleshooting. DO NOT continue until you have confirmed that the AC power source is
working.
• The DMM should indicate an open circuit. If it still indicates a closed circuit, then the relay or the
wires to the relay have failed. Stop here and repair the problem.

• If the DMM indicates an open circuit then the interlock relay is functioning normally.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND THEORY OF OPERATION


The model HB600W ® and HB1000W ® chargers
are designed as semiautomatic chargers. The
charger turns itself on when it is plugged into the
wall outlet and turns off when the batteries are
fully charged.
Both the HB600W ® and HB1000W ® are two stage
chargers. The first stage is a constant current
mode. It Maintains a constant current until the
battery reaches a terminal voltage and then
switches to the second stage, constant voltage.
At the second stage the charger decreases the
charger current while holding the batteries at the
terminal voltage until the charging cycle is
complete.
The charger faceplate has three status LED’s that
monitor the charging status. Refer to the chart
and illustration below for the function of these
LED’s.
If an error occurs during charging, the charger
will beep, and display an error code by flashing
the status LED’s. Refer to the Status LED error
code table later in this section.

HB/PT AND GEL INDICATOR LAMPS


NOTE: Your charger may not be equipped with these lamps.
HB/PT Lamp
If the HB/PT lamp is “ON”, then the charger has overheated and
has entered a proportionally reduced output. The charging cycle
will terminate if the temperature continues to rise. If the charging
cycle is terminated, the charger will automatically restart once it
has cooled.
The charging cycle is limited to 18-hours. If the HB/PT lamp is
flashing, then the charging time has exceeded 18-hours (time is
limited to 18-hours). If any of the status lamps are flashing, then
the charge cycle did not complete.
GEL lamp
This LED will only be “ON” if the charger is configured for GEL
batteries. Using a GEL charger with non-GEL batteries may result
in an incomplete charge or long charge times.

GEL batteries must be charged with a charger configured for


GEL batteries. Use of any other charger will result in damage
to the batteries and premature failure of the batteries.

TESTING THE CHARGING CYCLE


In typical installations, the charger will remain on for up to 12 hours depending on the state of charge of the
batteries when the charge cycle was started.

NOTE: Charging time is limited to 18-hours (max). An error occurs if charging time exceeds 18-hours. See table
on previous page.
A charger could remain on for longer than 12 hours if:
• The vehicle is equipped with batteries larger than 220 Amp hour capacity.
• The charging cycle is interrupted at any time during the charging cycle.
• Defective batteries causing a fluctuating DC voltage that confuses the charger.
• One or more defective cells in the battery pack.
• A brownout (drop in AC line voltage) during the charging cycle.
• An electrically noisy charging environment.
A charger could turn off in less than 12 hours, but still show symptoms of overcharging if:
• The electrolyte in the batteries is too high (boil over).
• The electrolyte in the batteries is too low (excessive gassing or sulfur smell).
To test the charger to see if it is turning off correctly, monitor the battery voltage and charging current during
the charging cycle as indicated below.
Using a digit digital voltmeter and clamp on DC ammeter, monitor the battery voltage and current during the
charging cycle. The charging current should remain within 10% of the DC output current (see previous
page) until the battery voltage reaches 2.55 volts per cell. When the voltage reaches 2.55 volts per cell, the
charging current will drop significantly and slowly taper off (voltage will remain constant). The charger
should turn off within 2 to 4 hours after entering the second stage.

TROUBLESHOOTING
To test charger operation:
Connect a DC volt meter to the main battery positive and negative terminals.
Attach a clamp on DC Ammeter to one of the charger DC output wires.
Plug the charger into an AC outlet.
Wait for charger to start (up to15 seconds), the ammeter should display the DC Amp rating of the charger
(plus or minus 10%) indicating that the charger is on (constant current mode).
The ammeter should continue to display the DC Amp rating of the charger until the battery voltage equals
2.55 VPC. When the battery voltage equals 2.55 VPC the charger will switch to the constant voltage
mode. At this point the charging current will be reduced and will taper off until the batteries are fully
charged.
Perform the following if the charger does not turn on:

1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove the
key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement.

5. Disconnect the charger from the AC source.


6. Remove the charger end cap where the DC
wires enter.
7. Test the voltage across the Battery Positive
(red) and Battery Negative (black) wires at
the lower left of the charger circuit board.
This voltage should be equal to the battery
voltage. If the voltage is less than the battery
voltage, then the wires to the batteries have
been damaged. Stop here and repair the
problem.
8. Reinstall the charger end cap where the DC
wires enter.

9. Remove the charger end cap where the AC


wires enter.
10.Test the continuity of all three AC wires from
the circuit board to the AC plug. If you find
an open circuit in any one of the three wires
then the AC cord or plug has been
damaged. Stop here and repair the problem.
11.Install the charger end cap where the AC
wires enter.

If both the AC and DC tests are good then the charger has failed. There are no internally serviceable
components in the charger. If the charger has failed then it must be replaced.

(reference only, specifications will vary for different chargers)

The model HBS 600W ® and HBS 1000W ® chargers are designed as automatic chargers. The charger turns
itself on when it is plugged into the wall outlet and turns off when the batteries are fully charged. Once the
charging cycle is complete, the charger will monitor the battery voltage. If the battery voltage drops below a
specific value (V2), the charger will turn on again for a short cycle.
Both the HBS 600W ® and HBS 1000W ® are two stage chargers. The first stage is a constant current mode. It
Maintains a constant current until the battery reaches a terminal voltage (V1) and then switches to the second
stage, constant voltage. At the second stage the charger decreases the charger current while holding the
batteries at the terminal voltage until the charging cycle is complete. The charging cycle is complete when the
current is down to A1
On the charger face plate, there is a status light panel that displays the current status of the charger.
The first light (POWER) should be ON when the AC cord is connected to a proper AC power source.
The three STATUS lights will indicate the current charging condition as follows:
Left: Charge cycle is ON and is in constant current mode.
Left & Middle (80%): Charge cycle is ON and is in constant voltage mode.
Right (100%): Charge cycle completed.
The FAULT light will turn ON and flash a fault code only when an abnormal charging condition has occurred.
Refer to the fault code table for more information.
NOTE: Critical faults will be accompanied with an audible beeping.

TESTING THE CHARGING CYCLE


In typical installations, The charge cycle will be completed in 8 to 12 hours depending on the state of
charge of the batteries when the charge cycle was started.

NOTE: The charge cycle time is limited to 20-hours (max). A fault will occur if charging time exceeds the time
limit. Refer to the fault code table for more information.
A charger could remain on for longer than 12 hours if:
• The vehicle is equipped with batteries larger than 220 Amp hour capacity.
• The charging cycle is interrupted at any time during the charging cycle.
• Defective batteries causing a fluctuating DC voltage that confuses the charger.
• One or more defective cells in the battery pack.
• A brownout (drop in AC line voltage) during the charging cycle.
• An electrically noisy charging environment.
NOTE: This charger has a maintenance mode that will restart the charger if the battery voltage drops below a
threshold after the charge cycle is complete. In some cases, it may appear that the charger is not turning off due to
that the charger has restarted. Fully test the battery pack before assuming that the charger is not turning off or
running too long.

A charger could turn off in less than 12 hours, but still show symptoms of overcharging if:
• The electrolyte in the batteries is too high (boil over).
• The electrolyte in the batteries is too low (excessive gassing or sulfur smell).
To test the charger to see if it is turning off correctly, monitor the battery voltage and charging current during
the charging cycle as indicated below.
Using a digital voltmeter and clamp on DC ammeter, monitor the battery voltage and current during the
charging cycle. The charging current should remain within 10% of the DC output current (see previous
page) until the battery voltage reaches V1. When the voltage reaches V1, the charging current will drop
significantly and slowly taper off (voltage will remain constant). The charger should turn off within 2 to 4
hours after entering the second stage when the charginc current is down to A1.

GEL batteries must be charged with a charger configured for


GEL batteries. Use of any other charger will result in damage
to the batteries and premature failure of the batteries.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: There are no internally serviceable components in the charger.
To test charger operation:
Connect a DC volt meter to the main battery positive and negative terminals.
Attach a clamp on DC Ammeter to one of the charger DC output wires.
Plug the charger into an AC outlet.
Wait for charger to start (up to 15 seconds), the ammeter should display the DC Amp rating of the
charger (plus or minus 10%) indicating that the charger is on (constant current mode).
The ammeter should continue to display the DC Amp rating of the charger until the battery voltage equals
V1. When the battery voltage equals V1 the charger will switch to the constant voltage mode. At this
point, the charging current will be reduced and will taper off until the batteries are fully charged. The
batteries are fully charged when the charging current is down to A1.
If the charger does not turn on, there are no faults, and the POWER light is ON, then the charger has
failed and must be replaced.
If the POWER light is OFF, then check the AC power source, AC power cable and connections. If the
source, cable and connections are good, then the charger has failed and must be replaced.

The charger comes equipped with a long fully insulated


AC cord that can be cut to length as needed for the
vehicle application. Do not cut the AC cord and splice
to the existing AC cord in the vehicle. Cutting and
splicing the AC cord will void the charger warranty

GEL batteries must be charged with a charger configured for


GEL batteries. Use of any other charger will result in damage
to the batteries and premature failure of the batteries.

Note 1: The original motor provided under part number 70-054-40 has been discontinued. It has been replaced by 70-054-41. The 70-054-41 motor has slightly more power & torque.
The 70-054-40 motor can be directly replaced with the 70-054-41 motor. The 70-054-41 motor will perform with the original parameters in the Sevcon® controller; however the vehicle will
have about a 15% reduction in top speed. To take full advantage of the increased performance of the 70-054-41 motor, new parameters must be programmed into the Sevcon® controller.
Please contact Taylor-Dunn® Manufacturing for details on returning the controller for re-programming.

BRAKE LINING HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Taylor-Dunn does not currently supply asbestos fiber-brake pads/shoes with


any vehicle. However, there is the possibility that the original brake pads/shoes
were replaced with aftermarket pads/shoes containing asbestos. Since this
possibility does exist, the brake pads/shoes should be handled as if they do
contain asbestos.
Never use compressed air or dry brush to clean the brake assemblies. Use an
OSHA approved vacuum cleaner or any alternate method approved by OSHA
to minimize the hazard caused by airborne asbestos fibers and brake dust.
Do not grind, sand, break, or chisel the brake pads/shoes, as this will cause
unnecessary dust, possibly releasing asbestos fibers in the air.
Always wear protective clothing and a respirator when working on the brake
pads/shoes or their associated components.
Inhaled asbestos fibers have been found to cause cancer and respiratory
diseases.
Do not drive the vehicle if any worn or broken part is detected in any part of
the brake system. The cause of the damage must be repaired immediately.
