a. Verify 25 VAC from blue wire to each white wire. b. Verify 50 VAC from the white wire to white wire. c. If these voltages were not indicated, replace the transformer. 6.5.5. Circuit Board Testing The circuit board has a built in diagnostic test at power-up. 1. Switch the AC supply OFF and then ON, watching the 3 upper LED's on the PCB. The 3 LEDs should light briefly in sequence Green-Yellow-Red when power is applied. This indicates the transformer is OK and that power is getting to the PCB. 2. If the battery DC is connected to the charger correctly, the Red LED should come ON immediately after this test sequence. 3. If the Green-Yellow-Red LED test sequence does not show at power-up, or if it cycles constantly Green-Yellow-Red, the PCB assembly should be replaced. 4. If the Red or Yellow charging LED does not stay ON after the test sequence, check that the batteries are connected to the charger. 5. Using a multimeter set to measure at least 30 VDC, verify DC voltage from Black to Red wire is as follows: a. If the Red charging LED is on and the Yellow charging LED is off, voltage from black to red wire should be at least 24 VDC. b. If the Red and Yellow charging LED's are on, voltage should be 29 ±1 VDC. c. If there is no Voltage, check the wiring and connections from the charger to the battery terminals. Battery Voltage must be correct polarity and more than 1 volt to commence charging. |

6.10.1. EMERGENCY POWER DISCONNECT CIRCUIT OPERATION The emergency Power Disconnect (EPD) is designed to remove operating power from the truck quickly in an emergency. The circuit is shown in Figure 19. To apply power to the lift truck the Engagement switch must be pressed momentarily. To remove power quickly either the battery must be disconnected or the STOP button on the Remote Control switch box must be pressed momentarily. Circuit operation is as follows. The negative side of the battery is connected to the following three points. • One side of the EPD contactor coil which is deenergized at this time. • One contact on the deenergized EPD contactor. • One side of the EPD relay coil which is deenergized at this time. The positive side of the battery is connected through the 120 Amp fuse then through the 15 Amp fuse to the common contact on the EPD Engagement switch. Initially both the EPD relay and the EPD Contactor are deenergized and the lift truck is inoperative. When the EPD Engagement switch is pressed momentarily the positive battery voltage is applied through the switch to terminal A on the EPD relay. Since Terminal B is connected to the negative side of the battery, the relay is energized and contacts4 and 7 close. This completes a circuit from the 15 Amp fuse through closed contacts 7 and 4 of the EPD relay to the (+) side of the EPD Contactor coul. The (-) side of the coil is connected to the negative side of the battery and the contactor energizes connecting battery negative to the pump motor where it is distributed to the truck electrical circuits. |
A holding circuit must be provided to keep the EPD relay and EPD Contactor energized, otherwise when the EPD Engagement switch is released these circuits would deenergize again opening the EPD contactor and deactivating the lift truck circuits. The STOP switch on the remote control provides this holding circuit. Note that when the EPD Relay contacts 4 and 7 close applying voltage to the EPD contactor coil, this voltage is also applied to one side of the STOP switch. The voltage passes through the normally closed contacts of the STOP switch and is applied to EPD relay terminal A. Now when the EPD Engagement switch is released a complete circuit to the EPD relay still exists keeping the relay energized. This path is now from battery positive through the 120 Amp fuse, through the 15 Amp fuse, through EPD relay contacts 7 and 4, through the closed STOP switch, to terminal A on the EPD relay. This keeps the EPD Contactor energized maintaining battery negative to the truck circuits. When the STOP switch is pressed, the circuit to EPD Relay terminal A is opened and the EPD relay is deenergized, EPD Relay contacts 7 and 4 open and remove battery voltage from the EPD contactor, deenergized the contactor. With EPD Relay contacts 7 and 4 open voltage is also removed from the STOP switch circuit. Thus when the STOP switch is released the EPD Relay and Contactor remain deenergized. Pressing the STOP switch is the normal way of deenergizing the truck and setting the EPD to its initial condition with the EPD contactor open. Disconnecting the battery will also cause the EPD circuit to be deenergized and returned to its initial state. Remeber that the EPD circuit is energized initially by the pressing the EPD Engagement switch momentarily and is held in the activated state by the holding circuit through the STOP switch. |

6.10.2. Emergency Power Disconnect Troubleshooting Before trying to troubleshoot the EPD circuitry, read the Emergency Power Disconnect Circuit Operation, Paragraph 6.10.1. Understanding the general overall function and operation will simplify isolating faults. The following trooubleshooting information is based on using a multimeter set to measure DC voltage on a scale appropriate for measuring 24 Volts. 1. If the Emergency Power Disconnect will not engage, use the logic flow diagram, Figure 20, to isolate the faulty component. 2. If the emergency Power Disconnect when the STOP button is pressed, it will usually be a short in the STOP switch circuit or a faulty EPD contactor. |
3. If the EPD Contactor does not open when the battery is disconnected, the EPD contactor should be replaced. You can check to see if the contactor is open as follows: a. Disconnect the battery from the truck. b. Set multimeter to measure continuity (low resistance). c. Connect multimeter across the EPD Contactor contacts (not the coil) and measure the resistance. If resistance is near “0” resistance the contactor contacts are not open and the contactor is faulty. |

6.12. Platform The complete platform is shown in Figure 22. 6.13. Platform Chain Replacement (Figure 22) Replacement chain is supplied in a 10' bulk length sufficient to replace all three platform chains. Count the number of links on the old chain and mark a length of new chain at the same number. Connect a rope snap to end the new chain with a cold shut formed closed. Temporarily connect the second rope snap to the |
marked length of new chain using a cold shut. Connect the rope snaps to the platform posts and measure the lowest part of the chain to the platform. If the connected chain hangs lower than 36" a link must be removed. Move the open could shut one link, reconnect the chain and measure again, when the chain no longer hangs below 36", cut the chain and form the second cold shut to permanently connect chain end rope and snap. |
