Service Manual

3.5 Wheels

CAUTION
Risk of accident

The size, quality and possible wear of the wheels can affect the stability and
performance of the truck.

Only use wheels that correspond to the original factory delivery. Make sure that the
wheels are the same size and brand as indicated on the type plate and in the
specifications of the manufacturer. The use of other types of wheels can reduce the
safety and performance of the truck.

Do not mix different sizes or types of wheels because it can affect the stability of the
truck.

CAUTION
Risk of accident

A flat wheel tilts the truck, which makes it difficult to turn the steering wheel. If you
operate a truck with a flat wheel, you can cause an accident. Do not operate a truck that
has a flat wheel.

MANDATORY ACTION
Uneven wear on the wheels can affect the stability of the truck and increase the braking
distance. Replace the front and rear wheels in pairs. Make sure that the truck is not
skewed after you have replaced the wheels.

MANDATORY ACTION

Changing the wheel type affects the weight and the maximum lifting capacity of the
truck. If you change the wheel type, you must acquire an updated type plate and
capacity plate. Only use wheels approved by the manufacturer.

3.6 LOCKOUT and TAGOUT

DANGER
Risk of injury

Personnel could be exposed to death or serious injury if LOCKOUT/TAGOUT procedure


is not performed prior to servicing the lift truck.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 20 (566)
Service Manual

WARNING
Risk of injury

Doing maintenance work on the forklift truck can create hazardous situations with risk
on injury. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Do service work on the
forklift truck only in a secure maintenance area.

LOCKOUT is not only used to disconnect a power supply, but also to physically isolate power
sources from supplying power to the lift truck. This is achieved with a lockout device, which
essentially disables the lift truck.

TAGOUT also reduces the risk of operating the machine during LOCKOUT with the use of a
"DO NOT OPERATE" or similar warning tag. Warning tags are ideally placed on the lockout
device to indicate the lift truck must not be operated until the tag is removed. Combined use of
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT reduces the risk of accidental or inadvertent operation. A lift truck that has
been LOCKED OUT and TAGGED OUT must not be operated until the required service has
been completed and the lift truck is no longer LOCKED OUT and TAGGED OUT.

NOTE: In the United States, employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace
under the regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). For
more information on OSHA LOCKOUT/TAGOUT see the 29 CFR 1910.147 and Appendix A
to 29 CFR 1910.147 (available at www.osha.gov).

Basic requirements before servicing equipment:

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Do service work on the forklift truck only in a secure maintenance area.

Park the lift on hard surface and make sure that the forks of the forklift truck are on the
ground.

Apply the parking brake.

Set the direction switch in NEUTRAL position.

Block the wheels. Make sure that the engine is stopped.

Turn the key switch to the OFF position.

Remove the key from the key switch.

To lock the truck:

1. Remove the key to the lift truck from the key switch and access the battery compartment.

2. Disconnect the battery plug/connector and their connections from the lift truck and attach the
lockout device.

3. Lock the lockout device.

4. TAGOUT the lift truck by placing a “DO NOT OPERATE” or similar warning tag where it can
be visibly seen.

5. After the work is finished, the technician with the key to the lift truck must unlock the lockout
device and remove the tag.

Service Manual

3.7 Service area safety

Keep the servicing area clean. Oil, grease, and water make the floor slippery.

If possible, make all repairs with the truck parked on a level, hard surface.

Before you start to do repairs on the truck, hang a Do not Operate sign in the operator
compartment.

The truck must always be supported on jacks if someone works under it.

Do not work on any truck that is supported only by lift jacks or a hoist. Always use jack
stands or other supports to support the truck before doing any disassembly.

Lower the forks or other implements to the ground before performing any work on the truck.
If this cannot be done, make sure the forks or other implements are blocked correctly to
make sure that they do not fall unexpectedly.

Use steps and grab handles (if applicable) when you mount or dismount a truck. Clean mud
or debris from the steps, walkways or work platforms before use. Always face the truck when
you use steps, ladders and walkways. When it is not possible to use the designed access
system, use ladders, scaffolds, or work platforms to perform safe repair operations.

To avoid back injury, use a hoist when you lift components that weigh 23 kg (51 lb) or more.
Make sure that all chains, hooks, slings, etc., are in good condition and of the correct
capacity. Make sure that all hooks are positioned correctly. Lifting eyes are not to be side-
loaded during a lifting operation.

Make sure that all protective devices including guards and shields are properly installed and
functioning correctly before you start a repair. If a guard or shield must be removed to
perform the repair work, be even more careful than usually.

Always support the mast and carriage to keep the carriage or attachments raised when you
perform maintenance or repair work that requires the mast to be in the lifted position.

3.8 Personal safety

DANGER
Risk of injury

The forklift truck is intended only for handling and transporting loads. Always exercise
special caution when handling loads and be aware of the people working around the
truck. The immediate vicinity of the truck must always be considered a hazardous zone.
To avoid fatal injuries resulting from improper use:

Do not lift or transport anyone on the forks or a load pallet that is on the forks.

Do not let anyone, under any circumstances, walk or stand under the forks.

Do not place any part of your body between the mast structures or any moving parts
of the truck such as the lifting carriage and attachments.

Repairs that need welding must be done only with the applicable reference information and
by personnel trained in welding procedures. Determine the type of metal and select the
correct welding procedure and electrodes, rods or wire to provide a weld metal strength
equivalent at least to that of the parent metal.

When you weld, always disconnect the battery and electronic devices. Remove all paint from
a 10 cm radius from the welding point to avoid creating toxic gases during welding.

Use the correct lifting procedures when you remove components.

Be careful when you remove cover plates. Gradually, remove the last 2 bolts or nuts at the
opposite ends of the cover or device. Before you remove the last 2 bolts or nuts, turn the
cover loose to release springs or other pressures.

Be careful when you remove filler caps, breathers and plugs on the truck. Put a cloth around
the cap or plug to make sure that you are not sprayed or splashed by liquids under pressure.
Be aware that the liquids spray and splash more easily immediately after you have stopped
the truck, because the fluids are very hot.

Only use well-maintained tools. Also, make sure that you use the tools in a correct way.

Reinstall all fasteners with the same part number. If a replacement is necessary, do not use
a fastener of lesser quality.

Do not cause damage to the wiring during the removal process. Do not use damaged wiring.
When you install the wiring back, make sure the wiring does not touch sharp corners or hot
parts. Put all wiring away from the oil pipe.

Loose or damaged fuel, lubricant and hydraulic lines, tubes and hoses can cause fires. Do
not bend or hit high pressure lines or install ones that are bent or damaged. Examine all
lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Pin hole (very small) leaks can cause a high velocity oil
stream that cannot be seen near the hose. This oil can go through skin and cause personal
injury. Use a cardboard or paper to find pin hole leaks.

Tighten connections to the correct tightening torque. Make sure that all heat shields, clamps
and guards are installed correctly to prevent excessive heat, vibration or rubbing against
other parts during operation. Protective shields against oil sprays onto hot exhaust
components in the event of a line, tube or seal failure must be installed correctly.

Do not operate the truck if a rotating part is damaged or touches another part during
operation. All high speed rotating components that are damaged or altered must be
examined for balance before you use them again.

3.10 Operating temperature

NOTICE
If you frequently move the truck between a freezer storage and a storage area that is in
room temperature, moisture can condense on the surfaces of the truck. If a damp truck
is operated in a freezer storage, there is a risk of ice accumulation. A frozen sensor or
switch can result in equipment malfunction. The truck must be dry before moving it into
a freezer storage.

Service Manual

The truck can be continuously operated at a temperature of -20...+40 °C (-4...+104 °F). The
recommended humidity is 30...95% (non-condensing). It is recommended to use low-
temperature hydraulic oil below -10 °C (14 °F) to ensure performance. The recommended
humidity is 30...95% (non-condensing).

Performance can be reduced due to high operating temperatures.

If you have to operate the truck in a cold environment, warm up the truck at the beginning of
the shift by lifting and lowering the empty forks a few times before you start working.

If the truck is specified for use in very cold operating conditions, it can be used at temperatures
down to -35°C. Charging, maintenance and long-term parking must always be done at or above
+1°C.

Each work cycle can involve driving in and out of the cold storage. In these
conditions condensation will form on the truck. The truck must not remain in the cold storage
for longer than 10 minutes to prevent the condensation from freezing.

The truck can be used continuously inside the cold storage for long periods and be then
driven out to normal temperature. In this case, the truck must be completely free of moisture
and condensation before the shift inside the cold storage starts. The truck must be parked
inside the cold storage during short breaks that are less than 30 minutes. The truck must not
be kept in the cold storage area unused for longer than 30 minutes.

5.8.1.3 Power source

This truck uses a wet lead-acid battery, which consist of 24 cells and supplies a nominal voltage
of 48 volts. The battery has the maximum capacity of 750 Ah, depending on the truck
model. The battery resides in a separate compartment and is connected to the system via the
X1 battery connector.

Lithium-ion battery with the maximum capacity of 444 Ah is available as an option.

5.8.1.4 Safety circuit (emergency stop button)

NOTE: The following description applies to truck models supplied with a lead-acid battery.

If the emergency stop button (S2) is in its normal closed position, B+ continues to flow to the
key switch (S1). B+ also flows to the coil of the key switch contactor (K2) though the battery
polarity protection diode V2. The operator can shut down the system power at any time by
pushing the emergency stop button. When the button is pushed, the connection opens and
removes B+ from the coil of the key switch contactor (K2). At the same time, the software
monitors the emergency stop switch contact position, and if it is pushed, but the power is not
lost from the controllers, alarm is given and the truck is stopped safely.

5.8.1.5 Key switch

NOTE: The following description applies to truck models supplied with a lead-acid battery.

The main key switch (S1) controls the electrical power supply to the entire system with the help
of the key switch contactor (K2) and the main contactor (K1). The key switch is activated by
turning it to the ON position. When the key switch closes, B+ flows to the coil of contactor K2,
and the negative is connected straight to the battery. After this, the contactor K2 closes the
contacts, which energizes the control system of the truck. Coil of the contactor K1 has a positive
supply after contactor K2. K1 is controlled by PWM with the right traction controller.

Positive electrical power is supplied to the system through the main fuses 11F1, 12F1,
14F1 and 9F1.

The truck has individual left (M1) and right (M2) traction motors that each have a dedicated left
(A1) and right (A2) traction controller. After the main fuses 11F1 and 14F1, the B+ supply is fed
to controllers A1 and A2. The main voltage is supplied to the +BF terminals on the traction
controllers.

The truck has a pump motor (M3) that is controller by the pump contoller (A3). After the main
fuse 12F1, B+ supply is fed to the contacts of the controller A3. The main voltage is supplied to
the terminal +BF on the pump controller.

The truck as a steering motor (M4) that is controlled by a steering controller (A6). After the main
fuse 9F1, B+ supply is fed to the contacts of the controller A6. The main voltage is supplied to
the terminal B+ on the the steering controller.

Service Manual

NOTE: The contactor coils, location of the fuses, and the connections for all motors and
their controllers are presented in the schematic diagram.

5.8.1.6 Traction

The movement of the truck is controlled by the left and right traction controllers. Before the truck
can be operated, the battery must be connected, the main key switch must be in the ON
position and the system must have passed the self-test procedure. Additionally, the seat switch
must indicate that the operator is sitting on the seat, and the seat belt must be fastened.

When the truck is powered on and in the standby mode, the operating direction can be selected
using an FNR control switch on the armrest or on the left-hand side of the steering wheel. If the
truck has the dual pedal, the driving direction is selected by pushing down the correct
accelerator pedal. The method for selecting the operating direction depends on the
configuration of the truck.

The accelerator pedal is connected to the right traction controller. The integrity of the
accelerator pedal signal is continuously monitored. When the accelerator pedal is pushed down,
it provides a varying voltage to the traction controller based on the position of the pedal.

5.8.6 Sensors and switches

An inductive sensor is an electronic proximity sensor, which detects metallic objects without
touching them. The sensor consists of an induction loop. Electric current generates a magnetic
field that collapses, thus generating a current that falls asymptotically toward zero from its initial
level when the electricity input ceases. The inductance of the loop changes according to the
material in it and, since metals are much more effective inductors than other materials, the
presence of metal increases the current flowing through the loop. This change can be detected
by sensing circuitry, which can signal to some other device whenever metal is detected.

The magnetic reed switch is an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. It
consists of a pair of contacts on ferrous metal reeds in a hermetically-sealed glass envelope.
The contacts can be normally open, closing when a magnetic field is present, or normally closed
and opening when a magnetic field is applied. The switch can be actuated by a coil, making a
reed relay or by bringing a magnet near to the switch. Once the magnet is pulled away from the
switch, the reed switch goes back to its original position.

HALL sensor measures the magnitude of a magnetic field. It generates an output voltage in
proportion to the strength of the magnetic field that comes into contact with the sensor. A HALL
sensor has an electric current directed through a conductor. When a magnetic field is introduced
near the sensor, the flowing electrons accumulate to the opposite sides of the conductor. This
produces a voltage gradient that can be measured. HALL sensors are commonly used as
proximity sensors, speed sensors and switches.

The following figures illustrate the locations of sensors and switches in the truck.

5.9.2 Hydraulic operation lifting/lowering

NOTE: Different truck models can have different hydraulic system configurations.

The principle of the hydraulic operation of the truck is as follows:

Lifting
Truck with manual levers

1. The electrical motor operates the hydraulic gear pump.

2. There is flow through LS-valve to tank.

3. Safety valve is energized.

4. Sensor detects lifting spool movement, and increases pump speed. Valve opens the channel
from load pressure to LS-line. LS-valve starts to close.

5. System pressure starts to increase due to LS-valve operation.

6. The lifting cylinder piston lifts the forks.

Truck with armrest controls

1. The electric motor operates the hydraulic gear pump.

2. There is flow through LS-valve to tank.

3. System starts to open the proportional lift valve. Lift pressure is connected to LS-line, and
LS-valve starts to close.

4. System pressure starts to increase due to LS-valve operation.

5. The lifting cylinder piston lifts the forks.

Figure 70: Hydraulic fluid flow during lifting

Lowering
1. Safety valve is energized.

2. The lifting/lowering valve (manual levers) or lowering valve (armrest fingertip controls) is
opened using the lowering lever.

3. Gravity pushes the lifting cylinder down as the hydraulic pressure reduces, and the hydraulic
fluid flows through the 300µ sieve and 10µ return filter back to the tank.

5.15.7 Automated performance reduction based on lift height

The performance of the truck can be automatically reduced based on how high the load is lifted.
The hydraulics and operating speed of the truck are automatically slowed down when the load
is lifted above the height of the mast height sensor. If the truck has free lift, the mast height
sensor is usually installed at the highest point of the free lift area. The performance reduction is
configured via TruckTool.

The lifting height is monitored with a mast height sensor. See 5.8.6 Sensors and switches.

6.6.4 Chain lubrication


Lubricate the chains after each 300 hours of operation (or more frequently in severe or extreme
environments). For lubricants, see11.3.3 Mast chains.

6.6.5 Chain wear measurement

WARNING
Risk of accident

Removing or replacing chain link plates does not correct chain elongation. There is
increased risk of chain breaking and the load falling if you try to repair an elongated
mast chain. Do not lengthen or shorten mast chains. Replace the entire mast chain if
the chain is worn or elongated.

Examine and lubricate the mast chains after each 300 hours of operation (or more frequently in
severe or extreme environments).

During the inspection, examine the chains for the following:

Elongation

Edge wear

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 173 (566)
Service Manual

Turning or protruding pins

Cracked side plates

Fatigue cracks

Stress-corrosion cracks

Corrosion fatigue

Tight joints

Elongation
Measure elongation always when you do maintenance on the truck.

To measure the elongation of the chains, you must have a slide caliper and a chain gauge.

Measure the mast chain from the section that moves over the chain wheel as that part of the
chain flexes the most. If the chain is long, measure it at 2 different points.

Figure 109: Measure the elongation in the chain with a chain gauge

To measure the elongation:

1. Lift a load of approximately 300 kg up.

2. Use a slide caliper to measure the distance between 2 chain pins in millimeters.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 174 (566)
Service Manual

3. Find the correct measurement value in the chain gauge.

4. Record the value below the measurement value. You must have the recorded value when
you count the number of pins in step 6.

5. Set the slot of the chain gauge on one of the chain pins.

6. Count the same number of chain pins as you recorded in step 4. Begin counting at the first
chain pin after the chain gauge. This gives you the length of the chain section under
inspection.

7. Check if the last chain pin you counted is approximately at the vertical line of the chain
gauge. If the chain is approximately at that line, the length of the chain is right.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 175 (566)
Service Manual

8. Make sure that the elongation is not more than 2%. If the elongation is more than 2%, you
must replace the chain. See 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

You can also measure the elongation without a chain gauge.

When a chain with the original length of 330.2 mm has elongated to the length of 336.8 mm,
replace the chain (the elongation is approximately 2%). See 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

Figure 110: Measure the elongation in the chain without a chain gauge

Edge wear
Examine the chains for link plate edge wear by running your finger back and forth over the chain
edge. See Figure 111.

The wear of a link plate edge must not exceed 5%.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 176 (566)
Service Manual

Figure 111: Edge wear in the chain

For repair instructions, see 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

Turning or protruding pins


A highly loaded chain operated with inadequate lubrication can generate abnormal friction
between the pins and the link plates. In extreme cases, the torque can surpass the press fit
force between the pins and the outside plates, resulting in pin rotation. When a chain is
operated in such a condition, a pin or a series of pins can begin to twist out of the chain,
resulting in a failure. See Figure 112.

Figure 112: Turning or protruding chain pins

Examine the chain pin heads to make sure that all the flats are still correctly aligned. Replace
chains with rotated or displaced heads or abnormal protrusion immediately. Do not attempt to
repair the chain by welding or driving the pin(s) back into the chain. Any wear patterns on the
pin heads or the sides of the link plates indicate misalignment. Such wearing damages the
chain and increases frictional loading and must always be corrected.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 177 (566)
Service Manual

For repair instructions, see 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

Cracked side plates


Examine all the chains periodically for cracked plates, see Figure 113.

Figure 113: Cracked side plates

Examine the chains very carefully from all sides. If there is a cracked plate in a chain, the whole
chain must be replaced. However, before you replace the chain, determine the cause of the
crack to prevent the condition from repeating itself.

For repair instructions, See 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

Fatigue cracks
Fatigue cracks are a result of repeated cyclic loading exceeding the endurance limit of the
chain.

Fatigue cracks nearly always start at the link plate pin hole (the point of the highest stress) and
are perpendicular to the chain pitch line. In their early stages, fatigue cracks are microscopic.
Unlike with stretching, there is no noticeable yielding or stretching of the material.

For repair instructions, see 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

Stress-corrosion cracks
Stress corrosion is an environmentally assisted failure, caused by 2 conditions: corrosive agents
and static stress. In the chain, the press fit pin causes static stress on the pin hole. No cycle
motion is required, and the plates can crack even during idle periods. In addition, the reaction of
several chemical agents (such as battery acid fluids) with hardened steel can release hydrogen,
which attacks and weakens the grain structure of the steel.

The outside link plates of the chain, which are heavily press fitted to the pins, are particularly
susceptible to stress-corrosion cracks. Like other cracks, stress-corrosion cracks also initiate at
the highest stress point (pin hole), but tend to extend in an arch-like pattern between the holes
of the plate. A link plate often has more than one crack.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 178 (566)
Service Manual

Figure 114: Link plate with stress-corrosion cracks

Do not attempt to electroplate a leaf chain or its components. The plating process releases
hydrogen, causing hydrogen embrittlement cracks, which look similar to stress-corrosion cracks.

If a plated chain is required, contact the manufacturer. Plated chains are assembled from
modified, individually plated components, which can reduce the rating of the chain.

For repair instructions, see 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

Corrosion fatigue
Corrosion fatigue is caused by the combined action of an aggressive environment and cyclic
stress (unlike in stress-corrosion cracks where static stress alone can be a cause).

Appearance-wise, corrosion fatigue cracks are very similar (and in many cases identical) to
normal fatigue cracks. They normally start at the pin hole and move perpendicularly to the chain
pitch line.

For repair instructions, see 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

Ultimate strength failure


This type of failure is caused by overloads that far exceed the maximum load of the mast.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 179 (566)
Service Manual

Figure 115: Ultimate strength failure

For repair instructions, see 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast chains.

Tight joints
All the joints in a leaf chain must flex freely. Tight joints resist flexing and increase internal
friction, thus increasing the chain tension required to fit a given load. Increased tension
accelerates wearing and causes more fatigue problems.

Figure 116: Tight joints

6.6.6 Check the chain anchors and locking pins

Check the chain anchors and the locking pins for damage. If the chain anchors and the locking
pins are damaged, replace the whole chain. For instructions, see 8.4.3.2 Replace the mast
chains.

6.6.7 Check the cylinders and piston rods

For more information about the components, see 5.15 Mast.

1. Check all cylinder fastenings.

2. If you notice an oil leak, first make sure that the free lift cylinder piston is not damaged.

3. Check cylinders for any damages, nicks, marring, or scratches.

Examine the outside surface of the piston for any scratches on the whole length passing
the housing with the cylinder fully out.

If there are any scratches on the piston surface, do not replace the seals. The scratches
damage the new sealing and the leak continues. If there are scratches on the piston
surface, replace the whole piston.

MANDATORY ACTION
Do any inspection, repair or exchange work for both forks at the same time. Often, both
forks are damaged. The fork inspection must be carried out carefully by trained
personnel only.

Examine the forks carefully after each 300 hours of operation (or more frequently in severe or
extreme environments).Examine the legibility of the markings on the fork arms. If the markings
in accordance with ISO 2330 are not clearly legible, remove the fork arm from service until
appropriate repairs are done.

Examine the forks for wear.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 186 (566)
Service Manual

If the forks have worn out more than 10% of the original fork thickness, the fork has to be
taken out of service. 10% wear of the fork thickness already means a 20% reduction of fork
capacity. The basis for wear measuring is the original nominal thickness of the fork. For
example, if the original nominal thickness of the forks is 40 mm, the wear limit for the forks is
36 mm.

Worn forks must not be welded.

Figure 120: Examine the forks for wear

Examine the forks for cracks.

Pay special attention to the inner heel section and all welded areas.

If there are any cracks in the forks, remove the forks from service.

Figure 121: Examine the forks for cracks

Examine the height difference of the forks. The height difference of the fork tips must not
exceed 1.5% of the length of fork blade (L). Adjust or replace the fork if necessary.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 187 (566)
Service Manual

The below formulas can be used to determine if the height difference is acceptable or if the
forks must be adjusted or replaced.

Acceptable: h max = L in mm / 66

Adjust the fork: h max = L in mm / 66 to L in mm / 33

Replace the fork: h > L in mm / 33

Figure 122: Examine the height difference of the forks

Examine the forks for permanent deflection. The below formulas can be used to determine if the
deflection is acceptable or if the forks must be adjusted or replaced.

Acceptable: k max = L in mm / 66

Adjust the fork: k max = L in mm / 66 to L in mm / 33

Replace the fork: k > L in mm / 33

Figure 123: Examine the forks for permanent deflection

CAUTION
Risk of accident

Do not try to bend the fork back in shape. The fork material can get weaker, which can
result in equipment damage and reduced operational safety.

7.2 Lithium-ion batteries

7.2.1 General information


The lithium-ion battery is only intended for use in an electric truck designed for this purpose. It is
not intended for any other use. If used in other applications, the user is responsible for any
damage that may result from misuse.

Copyright © 2023 by MLE Oy. All rights reserved. Revision: A Document ID: 664200-EN 272 (566)
Service Manual

Due to the complexity of the lithium-ion battery technology, conventional lead-acid batteries
cannot be replaced with lithium-ion batteries without making modifications to the electric system
of the truck because of compliance and safety regulations.

Each lithium-ion battery has its own type plate. The type plate includes battery performance
information and a serial number. Always enter the serial number when making inquiries. Do not
remove the type plate.

Only factory approved and supplied lithium-ion batteries and chargers must be used. Use of
non-approved battery can lead to a hazardous situation and is therefore strictly prohibited.
Warranty on the electrical system or the battery of the truck does not apply if a non-approved
lithium-ion battery or charger is used.

If the lithium-ion battery is not used for a long time (more than 2 hours), the battery will
automatically enter sleep mode. The battery can be reactivated by restarting the truck or by
pressing the power button on the external multifunction display (if available). It is recommended
to switch off the truck whenever it is left unattended.

7.2.2 Safety signs

Read and follow the operating instructions. A lithium-ion battery should only
be serviced by a local service partner or supplier. These instructions must
be kept close to the lithium-ion battery and must always be available to
users in their work area when questions arise.

Do not disassemble or modify the lithium-ion battery. Do not use in


potentially explosive atmospheres. Do not allow it to come into contact with
fire or be short circuited. The battery should only be charged with a lithium-
ion battery charger approved by the manufacturer. Failure to follow these
rules may result in liquid or gas leakage, fire hazard or excessive heat
generation.

In the event of a lithium-ion battery fire, evacuate personnel from the


affected area. Do not breathe fumes or touch leaked or spilled materials
with bare hands. Wear protective equipment. Take the battery out or into a
well-ventilated room. Use large amounts of water to cool the battery.
Other extinguishing methods can only increase the heat. If extinguishing
attempts with water fail or water is not readily available, dry powder can be
used as an alternative. Covering with sand or fire extinguishing powder
removes oxygen from the fire source.

Lithium-ion battery terminals can be live. There is a risk of a short circuit.

Never attempt to open or disassemble the lithium-ion battery. The


electrolyte is very corrosive. Under normal working conditions, contact with
the electrolyte is not possible. If the battery container is damaged, do not

8.4.4.2 Sealing housing of the free lift cylinder

Figure 199: Sealing housing of the free lift cylinder

1. Seal 3. Seal
2. O-ring 4. O-ring

If you notice an oil leak, first make sure that the cylinder piston is not damaged. Examine the
outside surface of the piston on the whole length passing the housing (with the cylinder fully out)
for any scratches.

If there are any scratches on the piston surface, replace the entire cylinder with a new
one. Otherwise the scratches will damage the new seals and the leak continues.

If the piston surface is not damaged, replace the seals.

The recommended solution is to replace the entire sealing housing (including the factory-
assembled seals). When replacing the entire sealing housing, the installation is simpler and you
can avoid damaging the gaskets when performing the installation. However, if you prefer to
replace just the seals, it is also possible to order only the gasket kit for each cylinder.

To disassemble the sealing housing:

1. Remove the free lift cylinder. For instructions, see the related steps in 8.4.4.1 Replace the
free lift cylinder.

2. Mount the free lift cylinder onto a work bench.

If you notice an oil leak, first make sure that the cylinder piston is not damaged. Examine the
outside surface of the piston on the whole length passing the housing (with the cylinder fully out)
for any scratches.

If there are any scratches on the piston surface, replace the entire cylinder with a new one.
Otherwise the scratches will damage the new seals and the leak continues.

If the piston surface is not damaged, replace the seals.

The recommended solution is to replace the entire sealing housing (including the factory-
assembled seals). When replacing the entire sealing housing, the installation is simpler and you
can avoid damaging the gaskets when performing the installation. However, if you prefer to
replace just the seals, it is also possible to order only the gasket kit for each cylinder.

To disassemble the sealing housing:
