Unloading and Preparing a New Truck for Operation
Unloading and Preparing a

New Truck for Operation
When unloading a new truck, it may be neces-
sary or desirable to tow the truck before a bat-
tery is installed. See "Towing the Truck".
NOTE
New trucks with exceptionally tall masts will be
shipped horizontally. In this case, the installing
dealer must contact the factory for unloading
and commissioning procedures.
Before placing a new truck into service, per-
form the Daily Maintenance Inspection as
found in the Maintenance section.
The truck can then be operated at full speed
immediately upon being placed in service.
However, during the first 50 operating hours,
avoid subjecting the drive system or hydraulic
system to high continuous loads.
WARNING
Wheel mounting hardware sometimes requires sev-
eral cycles of tightening before it fully seats. For this
reason, wheel mounting screws or nuts will often
work loose in the period immediately following initial
tightening.
When placing a new truck into service, the wheel
mounting screws or nuts must be checked for tight-
ness every 10 hours until no further loosening is de-
tected. See the procedure for checking wheels and
tires in the Maintenance section.

4 Operation
Driving
Driving 
WARNING
Operators must be familiar with all safety procedures
that apply to forklift operation before driving.
Read and understand all safety information in Sec-
tion 2 before operating the truck.
 Switch the truck on with the key switch. See

"Turning the truck on and off" if necessary.
NOTE
The operator's weight must remain on both
the brake pedal (1) and operator presence
pedal (2) while driving or the travel function
will be disabled. The entry bar (3) must not be
pressed at any time during operation or the
travel function will be disabled. If the entry bar
becomes pressed during travel, a fault code
will be generated and the truck will stop. The
multifunction handle must be returned to neu-
tral to clear this fault.
 Slightly raise fork arms and tilt forks back.
Forward motion
 Note the symbol in position (4) on the multi-
function handle. The handle has two axes 4
of operation. One controls travel and the
other controls the mast. The standard as- 5195 04182019-03
signment is shown with symbol A. These
axes may be reversed through program-
ming. If this is the case, the assignment is
shown with symbol B.
WARNING
Inadvertent travel operation can cause injury.
Always observe the symbol on the multifunction han-
dle to verify handle function.
 Move the multifunction handle in the desig- A B

nated forward direction. For standard con- 1346 10052017-07
figuration this will be toward the left side of
the truck. For optional configuration, move it
toward the forks.
The direction contactor should close with an
audible sound and the parking brake symbol
in the display should go out. The driving speed

Operation 4
Driving
of the forklift truck will increase the further the

handle is moved.
NOTE
The maximum acceleration rate is set by the
main control unit. Maximum speed is limited
based on mast height, load weight, and reach
unit extension.
If the handle is released, the electric braking
function will automatically slow the truck.
Reverse motion
 Move the multifunction handle in the desig-
nated reverse direction. For standard con-
figuration this will be toward the right side of
the truck. For optional configuration, move it
toward the rear.
Control of speed and braking in reverse is the
same as for forward motion.
Changing direction
 Move the multifunction handle to the oppo-
site direction of travel.
The truck will be electrically braked until sta-
tionary. If the handle is not released, the truck
will then accelerate in the new direction.

4 Operation
Braking
Braking 
The truck has electric braking built in to the

motor control equipment as well as an electro-
magnetic parking brake in the drive unit. Elec-
tric braking is controlled by the position of the
multifunction handle. Electric braking can also
be applied by releasing a brake pedal on the
floor plate.
Electric braking
There are two modes of electric braking. The
first mode activates when the truck is in mo-
tion and the multifunction handle is simply re-
leased to the neutral position as if coasting.
The second mode activates when, after the
handle is released, it is moved further in the
opposing direction. The braking force is great-
er with the second mode than with the first.
The second mode is sometimes referred to as
"plugging". Both modes are regenerative and
therefore convert truck momentum back into
energy to recharge the battery. The amount of
braking force that occurs in each of these
modes is adjustable in the truck control pro-
gram. The first mode can be disabled com-
pletely in the program. In this case the truck
would truly coast when the pedal is simply re-
leased. The second mode can be minimized
but not disabled completely in the program.
 While travelling, release the multifunction
handle.
The truck will slow to a stop depending on the
setting of the electric brake function.
NOTE
Slow or quick release of the handle into the
neutral position allows the braking action to be
sensitively controlled, from gentle to hard
braking.
 While travelling, move the multifunction
handle to the opposite direction until the
truck has been electrically braked to a stop.
The truck will slow to a stop faster than if the
handle is simply released. After stopping, the
truck will accelerate in the new direction un-
less the handle is then released.

Operation 4
Braking
Brake Pedal
The brake pedal (1) can also be used to slow
the truck. It is located on the floor plate and is
intended to be operated using the left foot. Re-
leasing the pedal will slow the truck with maxi-
mum regenerative braking. During operation
other than braking, the pedal must remain de-
pressed for the travel function to operate.
Operator Presence Pedal

An operator presence pedal (2) is located on
the floor plate and is intended to be operated
using the right foot. This pedal must remain
depressed during truck operation. Releasing
the pedal will disable drive and hydraulic func-
tions. If the truck is moving, it will brake to a
stop and the parking brake will engage.
Parking Brake
The truck is equipped with an electromagnetic
parking brake in the drive unit. This brake is
fully automatic. It will engage whenever the
truck is switched off or remains at rest for
more than one second. If the truck is on, the
parking brake symbol will appear in the dis-
play unit whenever the parking brake is en-
gaged.

4 Operation
Steering System
Steering System 
Turning the steering wheel will steer the truck

via the rear wheels.
 Turn the steering wheel clockwise to turn
the truck to the right. Turn the steering
wheel counter-clockwise to turn the truck to
the left.
WARNING
Some trucks may be equipped with a reverse steer-
ing option that produces steering motion opposite
that of standard trucks.
Always operate the truck at low speed until familiarity
with the steering system is ensured.
5195 04182019-04
Reverse Steering (optional equipment)

The truck may be equipped with an optional
reverse steering arrangement. On trucks 1
equipped with the reverse steering option,
steering wheel motion will produce steering di-
rection opposite that described above. Turning
the steering wheel clockwise will produce a 0009385124
left turn. Moving it counter-clockwise will pro-

duce a right turn.
On trucks equipped with the reverse steering
system, a special reverse steering decal (1)
will be present.
5195 04182019-05
Horn 
The horn is used as a warning signal, e.g. at

blind spots and junctions.
 Press the horn button (1) on the multifunc-
tion handle to sound the horn.
1346 10232017-08

Operation 4
Emergency Stop Switch
Emergency Stop Switch 
Pushing the emergency stop button (1) in will 1

interrupt drive and hydraulic function. The
emergency stop switch will open and the elec-
tromagnetic parking brakes will be immediate-
ly applied. The truck will decelerate to a stop.
Also, increased effort will be required to turn
the steering wheel.
WARNING
If the emergency stop switch is operated while in mo-
tion, the truck will decelerate without power assisted
steering. More effort will be required for steering.
Stopping distance may be longer than normal. For 5195 04172019-02
these reasons there may be an increased risk of col-

lision.
Always be prepared to increase the steering effort if
the emergency stop button is pressed.
WARNING
The emergency stop switch will not isolate the entire
electrical system. In order to remove power from the
entire truck electrical system, the battery must be
disconnected at the battery connector.
Always disconnect the battery at the battery connec-
tor before any maintenance, repair or other activity
requiring a completely de-energized truck.
Emergency Stop Procedure

 To stop the truck in an emergency, push in
the emergency stop button (1).
The button will lock into the pressed position
with an audible click. The emergency stop
switch will open and the forklift truck will be
switched off.
To resume operation, ensure that the multi-
function handle is released to the neutral posi-
tion. Twist the emergency stop button slightly
until it springs out to the normal position.

4 Operation
Fork Position Adjustment
Fork Position Adjustment 
WARNING
Incorrect fork position can result in an unstable or un-
balanced load.
Always position the forks so that the center of gravity
of the load is centered between the forks. Both forks
must be the same distance from the centerline of the
truck. 1
The base of the latch pin knob is bevelled to
facilitate the locking and unlocking process.
 Lift the forks slightly off the floor.
 Lift the fork latch pin knob(1) and twist it to
hold the latch pin up. 5195 04222019-01
 Slide the fork arms inwards or outwards un-

til the latch pins align with the position
notches that best fit the load.
 Lift and twist the knob and allow it to spring
back down along its bevelled edge and seat
fully. Ensure that each latch pin is engaged
securely in a notch on the fork carriage. If
the knob will not go back down, then the
fork is not aligned with a notch or the bevel-
led edge is not twisted into the correct posi-
tion. Wiggle the fork slightly if necessary un-
til the latch pin seats fully.

ment)
The tilt memory option allows the fork carriage
to be rapidly and consistently tilted to a pre-set
angle.
Whenever tilt memory is active, symbol (1) on
the indicator unit will illuminate.
Tilt memory can be activated at any time via
button switch (2).
NOTE
1
To ensure safety, the tilt memory function
does not automatically tilt the forks. Instead it 1346 10052017-03
automatically stops the tilting motion when the
pre-set angle is reached. Tilt motion must still
be initiated and maintained by the operator us-
ing the tilt button (3) as during normal tilting.
Tilt motion is therefore under operator control
at all times.

normal mast operation.

4 Operation
Towing the Truck
Towing the Truck 
The truck is equipped with an electro-magnet-

ic parking brake which is engaged whenever
the truck is stationary, switched off, or power
is otherwise not present. For this reason, the
drive wheel must be lifted just clear of the floor
during towing.
WARNING
Towing the truck with the mast raised can result in
tip-over.
Lower the mast completely before towing. The mast
may be manually lowered If necessary by using the
manual lowering valve.
 Fully lower the mast and remove any load

from the forks.
 If the hydraulic system is functional, raise
the forks if necessary just enough so they
will not drag during towing. If the carriage
cannot be raised hydraulically, remove the
forks from the carriage.
 Switch the truck off and disconnect the bat-
tery.
 Position a forklift so that one fork is beneath
the rear bumper at the cutout (arrow). The
point of contact for lifting is the lower edge
of the bumper itself, so do not extend the
fork tip more than three of four (75 to 100
mm) inches under the truck.
 Lift the rear of the truck just enough for the
drive wheel to lose contact with the floor.
WARNING
Excessive lifting will result in tip-over.
Lift the rear of the chassis just enough for the drive
wheel to clear the floor and no more.
 Do not allow any personnel to occupy the

truck during towing.

Operation 4
Towing the Truck
WARNING
Loss of control will occur if the towing vehicle lacks
braking force sufficient to accommodate the truck
mass.
Towing the truck requires a towing vehicle with suffi-
cient tractive power and braking force for the truck
mass.
 Do not exceed 1.5 mph (2.5km/hr) during

towing.

Securing the Truck for Transport
Securing the Truck for Trans- 

port
This procedure explains the attachment of
equipment to the truck for the purpose of se-
curing it for ground transport by tractor-trailer
or other vehicle. Securing the truck for trans-
port must be performed by personnel experi-
enced in rigging loads for transport.
WARNING
Transport vehicles, loading ramps, or other equip-
ment of insufficient capacity can fail and cause se-
vere injury or death.
Ensure that the transport vehicle as well as any load-
ing ramps or other equipment has sufficient capacity
to carry the weight of the truck. Refer to the truck da-
ta plate for truck weight.
Ensure that all surfaces on which the truck will be
driven or carried can support the wheel load of the
truck. Contact the factory for wheel load values if
necessary.
WARNING
If the truck is to be driven onto the transport vehicle,
the operator must be familiar with all safety proce-
dures that apply to truck operation before driving. Be
aware of truck turning characteristics during turning.
Failure to carefully monitor truck position while turn-
ing could cause the truck to fall during the loading
process. If possible, align the truck with the load sur-
face of the transport vehicle so that no turning is nec-
essary during the loading process. Be aware that the
truck is designed for travel only on flat smooth surfa-
ces and must not be driven on ramps or over transi-
tions. For loading, the transport surface must be level
with the surface on which the truck is located.
tion 2 before driving the truck onto a transport vehi-
cle. Remain aware of truck position at all times espe-
cially if turning. If possible, align the truck with the
transport vehicle so that it can be driven straight onto
it without turning. Drive very slowly during the entire
loading process.
 Once the truck is in position, lower the mast

completely and retract the reach unit.
 Disconnect the battery.
 To secure the truck to a load surface for
transport, a total of eight wooden wedges
and suitable tension belts must be used.
Position two wooden blocks at the front of

 Disconnect the battery.
For an assembled truck with mast (or the mast
alone), attach lifting equipment to the upper
cross member of the outer mast upright at its
left and right sides (1) and (2). This is suitable
for lifting the whole truck. To ensure stability,
care must be taken to ensure attachment is
secure at the outer sides of the cross member
and cannot slip toward the center.
WARNING
The overhead guard will be damaged if it is contact-
ed by lifting equipment that is under tension from lift-
ing. This can result in later failure of the overhead
guard and the risk of severe injury or death.
Ensure that no part of any lifting equipment contacts

Check hydraulic oil level 

 Park the truck on level ground.
 Lower the fork carriage completely, retract
the reach unit, and switch the truck off.
 Open the service access door.
 Determine the height of the mast installed
on the truck. See the Mast Heights section
to identify mast heights.
 The hydraulic oil reservoir is made of trans-
lucent material. Observe the oil level at the
marks on the side of the hydraulic oil reser-
voir as shown.
The level should be at or above the mark cor-
responding to the height of the mast installed
on the truck.
 If oil must be added, remove the breather
cap (1) and add oil through the opening as
necessary to bring the level to the correct
mark.
WARNING

5 Maintenance
Check Drive Wheel and Fasteners

WARNING
Uneven wear or excessive damage to the tires can
reduce stability as well as brake performance. Re-
duced stability can cause loss of control. Reduced
brake performance can cause collisions.
Have worn or damaged tires changed immediately.
Inspect the drive tire for damage or excessive

wear.
Check drive wheel mounting hardware for
looseness. This is especially important if a
wheel has recently been removed and rein-
stalled for repairs, replacement, or any other
reason. Have any loose wheel mounting hard-
ware tightened to the following torque before
operation.
WARNING
Wheel mounting hardware sometimes requires sev-
eral cycles of tightening before it fully seats. For this
reason, wheel mounting screws or nuts will often
work loose in the period immediately following initial
tightening.
Whenever a wheel is removed and replaced for any
reason, the wheel mounting screws or nuts must be
checked for tightness every 10 hours thereafter until
no further loosening is detected.

prone to static electricity build-up. An anti-stat-
ic strap may also be installed on trucks that
operate in certain applications regardless of
tires. If equipped, inspect the anti-static strap
for wear or damage. The strap must maintain
continuous contact with the driving surface. If
any wear or damage preventing this contact is
present, the strap must be replaced. Also
check that the strap mounting is secure. Cor-
rect as required.
Operational checks
Before returning the truck to service, conduct
an operational check of the following items:
● Emergency stop button
● Parking brake
● Operator presence switch
● Multi-function display/battery discharge indi-
cator
● Working lights
● Horn
● Forward and reverse travel
● Back-up alarm if equipped
● Brake pedal
● Electric braking (if applicable)
● Mast, tilt, and any other hydraulic functions
(operate through complete range of motion)
CAUTION
Excessive noise during hydraulic function operation
indicates low hydraulic fluid.
This condition must be checked and corrected imme-
diately to avoid damage to the hydraulic pump.

5 Maintenance
Routine Lubrication and Inspection

Intervals
The items in this section must be performed
based on usage and environment. They do
not need to be performed daily but may re-
quire completion more frequently than the ma-
jor scheduled maintenance intervals. These
intervals can often be based on maintenance
experience by those familiar with equipment in
the given environment. Intervals given herein
for specific items however must not be ex-
ceeded in any case. Your Linde dealer will be
able to provide application-specific interval
recommendations if required.
Testing and Cleaning the Fans 

The forklift is equipped with two fans to the left
of the power modules.
The fans must be cleaned and checked for
normal operation periodically.
The fans should be cleaned with oil-free com-
pressed air and/or cleaning solvent. The truck
must be switched off while cleaning the fans.
The fans can be activated for testing using a
laptop computer equipped with Linde diagnos-
tic software.

Maintenance 5
Checking Gear Oil Level 

The gear unit has a drain plug (1) and a filler
plug (2) on the housing.
 Park the truck and turn the steering to the
right until the filler plug is accessible.
 Turn off the truck and disconnect the bat-
tery.
 Clean the area around the filler plug and re-
move it.
Oil level must reach the bottom of the filler
plug opening.
Add gearbox oil as required through the filler
plug opening.(2).
 Install the filler plug and tighten to 25 ft-lbs
(35 Nm).

5 Maintenance
Checking Pedals 
The floor plate assembly consists of the floor
plate (1), the brake pedal (2), and the operator
presence pedal (3).
 Ensure the truck is switched off.
 Remove the rubber floor mat. Inspect it for
damage or oil contamination and clean or
replace it as necessary.
 Lift the right side of the floor plate up
enough to access the wiring connectors. If
the connector markings are not legible,
mark the connectors as necessary and dis-
connect the wiring.
 Lift out the floor plate assembly. Note the
position of the two floor plate springs in the
chassis and inspect them for damage.
 Inspect the pedals for smooth operation and
spring return. Ensure that the switch for
each pedal activates approximately mid-
way through the range of motion.
 Lubricate the brake pedal pivot bushings at
the grease fitting (4).
 Check the entry bar mechanism (5) for
smooth operation and strong spring return.
Lubricate or repair as necessary.
 To install the floor plate assembly, align the
tabs with the slots in the chassis.
 Reconnect the wiring connectors.
 Ensure the floor plate springs are in place
and lower the floor plate assembly into posi-
tion. Ensure that the floor plate assembly
has free movement and strong spring re-
turn.
 Replace the floor mat.

Maintenance 5
Hydraulic Tank Pressure Valve Test 

The breather filter ( arrow) is equipped with a
bleeder valve that permits a slight over pres-
sure in the tank.
 Switch on the truck.
 Extend the lift mast to the stop and lower it
again; repeat this step several times.
 Switch off the truck.
 Release the breather filter by slowly rotating
the filter housing a half-turn counter-clock-
wise. It must be possible to hear air escap-
ing from the tank.
 If air cannot be heard escaping, the breath-
er filter must be replaced.
Lubricate Steering Gear 
WARNING
Contact with the steering pinion and gear mesh dur-
ing motion can cause injury.
Always switch the truck off and disconnect the bat-
tery when performing maintenance on or near the
steering gear.
Clean the steering gear (1) and pinion with a

rag and cold cleaner and apply fresh grease to
the operating range of the gear.

5 Maintenance
Lift Chain Lubrication and Length

Inspection
Lift Chain Lubrication
NOTE
Lift chains on trucks used in the food industry
must be lubricated with an oil approved for the
food industry.
 Apply Linde chain spray to each chain and
guide surfaces. This should be done every
100 hours or as necessary to maintain a
light film of lubricant on the chains at all
times.
Lift Chain Length Inspection 

As chains operate, clearances will gradually
open in the chain pins and the chain will elon-
gate. As long as total elongation is less than 3
percent of original chain length, the chain may
be used, but the working length of the chain
may need to be adjusted at the chain anchors
to compensate for the wear. To determine if
adjustment is required, inspect the chains as
follows every 500 hours.
Main Lift Chains
Park the truck on a flat level surface and lower
the mast completely. Observe the lower ends
of the three upright rails of the mast. Measure
the distance X between the lower end of the
inner upright (1) and lower end of the outer
upright (3). The intermediate upright (2) is not
suspended by chains and should always be
even with the outer upright. If the distance X is
greater than 0.4 inches (10 mm), the chains
must be adjusted until X is within 0.1 inch (2.5
mm). See the service manual for the adjust-
ment procedure.
Primary (Carriage) Chains
With the mast fully lowered, the center of the
lowest carriage roller (4) must not be within
0.8 inch (20 mm) of the end of the inner up-
right (dimension Y). If the distance Y is less
than 0.8 inches (20 mm), the chains must be
adjusted according to the procedure in the
service manual.

Maintenance 5
WARNING
Chain adjustment must never be used to compen-
sate for chains worn to their limit. If chains are ap-
proaching their wear limit, they must be replaced.
Always measure lift chain stretch whenever chains
appear to require adjustment.
NOTE
To aid in ascertaining carriage roller position,
raise the carriage and apply grease to the low-
er portion of the inner upright rail where the
roller travels. Lower the carriage and then
raise it again. Observe the pattern in the
grease to determine roller travel distance from
the lower end of the rail. To determine Y, add
1.9 inches (48 mm) (radius of roller) to the end
point shown in the grease pattern.
Mast Roller Lubrication and Inspec- 

tion
Lubricate the full length of the inner upright rail
(1) and the intermediate upright rail (2) along
their inside corners (4) with grease. This
should be done every 200 hours.
Check the mast roller clearance every 500
hours. Pry each roller at position (5) and
measure clearance at position (6). If clearance
1 4
exceeds 0.020 inch (0.5 mm), shimming is re- 2
quired.

Caster Wheel Inspection and Lubri- 

cation
Inspect the caster wheels for wear, damage,
entangled debris, or excess wobble.
The caster wheel assembly has three grease
fittings, one for the swivel (1) and two for the
axle (2) (one on each wheel). The caster must
be lubricated at all three fittings every 250
hours.
Lubricate Load Wheel Axles 

Lubricate the load wheel axles at the axle
grease fittings (1).
NOTE
If no grease fittings are present, the truck is
equipped with sealed load wheel bearings and
lubrication is not required.
Lubricating the Reach Unit and 

Sideshifter
The reach unit should be inspected and lubri-
cated every 200 hours. Check all cylinders,
hoses, and fittings, on the carriage for leakage
and repair as necessary.
Lubricate the reach unit at the main pivot
grease fitting (1) on each side. On double-
reach units, there will be two fittings on each
side.
Lubricate the sideshifter at the three fittings (2) 1
along the front of the carriage.
