B Truck description1 Application description

The ETX ac 125/150 is an electric three-way lift truck which picks up, transports, andlifts its load outside the wheelbase. It can be used for internal goods traffic to stackand transport DIN 15142 pallets, DIN 15144 lattice box pallet, and other palletisedloads. If the ETX ac 125/150 is used for assembly works with an according workingplatform, the load carrying-unit must be supplied or approved by the manufacturer.For optimisation of the turnaround performance the truck can be operated diagonally,i. e. that travelling and lifting is possible simultaneously.

As standard, swivel/traverse forks or telescopic forks can be used as load-carryingunits. The load fork can be designed for different load units. In case of the swivel/traverse fork the distance between the fork arms is adjustable.

For operation in narrow aisles the ETX ac 125/150 can be either be equipped with arail guidance system (RG) or inductive guidance system (IF). The driver can fullyconcentrate on his stacking work. Simultaneous travel and lifting is enables in narrowaisles. The activation is triggered by aisle detection sensors. Outside narrow aislesthe ETX ac 125/150 can be freely moved, partly at restricted travel speeds dependingon certain lifting heights.

The racking systems must be constructed for the ETX ac 125/150. The safetydistances required and prescribed by the manufacturer (e. g. prEN 1726-2 item 7.3.2)must be strictly observed. The ground must comply with DIN 15185. For the railguidance system (RG) the narrow aisles must be equipped with guide rails. Vulkollan guide rollers screwed to the truck chassis guide the truck between the guiderails.For the inductive guidance system (IF) a guide wire must be installed in the ground,and the signals from the guide wires are received by sensors at the truck chassis andprocessed in the truck computer.

2.1 Truck

Chassis:The robust truck chassis is a skeleton construction. All enclosures are removablerespectively can be opened by hinges, thus providing excellent accessibility to allunits and for servicing the battery. The truck's width, measured across the loadwheels, can be adjusted to the respective requirements of the warehouse. Availablechassis widths range from 1,210 to 1,700 mm (from 1,250 mm onward in incrementsof 50 mm).

Wheels: The load wheels are mounted on a cantilever axle. The bearings are constructed withtaper roller bearings, which allows problem-free adjustment and very easy wheelchange.

Drive system:Arranged in standing configuration, heavy-duty three-phase AC motor(asynchronous) delivering 7 kW (KB 60 min). The motor is directly screwed onto thesingle-wheel drive unit, thus providing problem-free and fast maintenance.

Steering:Low-friction electrical steering. The handy and small steering wheel is integrated intothe operating panel. When mechanical rail guidance is used, the drive wheel is set tostraight position by the push of a button. The position of the steered wheel is indicatedon the operating terminal. The steering angle is +/- 90°, providing excellentmanoeuvrability in confined dead-end aisles.When the inductive guidance mode is used, the steering is automatically taken overby the system and manual steering is not active.

Load-carrying units:The standard truck is equipped with a swivel/traverse fork. The load can be picked updirectly from the ground and tiered and untiered on both sides of the rack aisle. Alllimit positions for traversing and turning are dampened. For fast pallet handling thetraversing and turning motions can be executed in parallel by pushing a button.Optionally the truck can be equipped with telescopic forks or special attachmentdevices. The swivel/traverse fork can be equipped with a fork adjusting device.

Telescopic fork: Suitable stackable load units can only be picked up or put down tothe left or right. Picking up or putting down the load directly from/onto the ground isnot possible. Therefore, retrieval respectively transfer stations must be provided(centring station, roller conveyor, etc.).

Lifting mast:Optionally double or triple lifting masts with full free-lift. The precision double T-profiles are connected to each other by means of torsion-resistant and flexurally rigidcrossbeams. Thus, minimum swinging during tiering and untiering is achieved. Thehydraulic cylinders are located on the sides, providing a good through-view.

Driver position:The spacious, ergonomically designed driver position with comfort seat and theergonomically optimised arrangement of all operating elements allow non-tiringoperation of the truck by the driver. The driver seat with operating panel and pedalscan be continuously rotated approx. 30° in load direction and approx. 10° in drivedirection by push of a button. The driver seat is vibration-dampened and can beadjusted to individual body heights and weights. The operating panel with armrest isadjustable in height and lengthways. All functions for lifting, traversing, and turningare operated via a thumb-actuated lever. All operating conditions such as, forexample, lifting height, battery charge condition, time of day, position of steeredwheel, etc., are indicated on the operating terminal.

Lifting height preselection:With the lifting height preselection system the driver can select the required liftingheight by pushing a button. When the desired lifting height is reached, the liftingprocess is automatically terminated. The lifting height preselection system can beused both for tiering and untiering of the load and also for lifting and lowering. Thelifting height preselection system is designed for warehouse sections with differentracking heights.

Hydraulic system:All hydraulic movements are carried out by a maintenance-free 21 kW three-phaseAC motor with flange-mounted, low-noise internal gear pump. The oil is distributedvia solenoid switching valves. The different required oil amounts are controlled via themotor speed. When lowering, the hydraulic pump drives the motor, which works as agenerator at that time (utility lowering). The energy generated by this process is fedback into the battery.

Brakes:

a) The truck is decelerated wear-free and smoothly by releasing the accelerator pedal or switching to the opposite travel direction. Thus, energy is reclaimed in the battery (service brake).

b) Moreover, the truck can be decelerated by a brake pedal acting on hydraulicallyoperated shoe brakes in the load wheels. The maximum deceleration is adaptedto the lifting height.

c) The electromagnetic spring-pressure brake acting on the traction motor servesas immobilising and stopping brake during tiering and untiering operations.

d) In inductively guided trucks a spring-loaded brake acting on the load wheels isadditionally applied. This brake is also automatically controlled in depending onthe height and acts only in emergency-stop situations.

Driver position:The spacious, ergonomically designed driver position with comfort seat and theergonomically optimised arrangement of all operating elements allow non-tiringoperation of the truck by the driver. The driver seat with operating panel and pedalscan be continuously rotated approx. 30° in load direction and approx. 10° in drivedirection by push of a button. The driver seat is vibration-dampened and can beadjusted to individual body heights and weights. The operating panel with armrest isadjustable in height and lengthways. All functions for lifting, traversing, and turningare operated via a thumb-actuated lever. All operating conditions such as, forexample, lifting height, battery charge condition, time of day, position of steeredwheel, etc., are indicated on the operating terminal.

Lifting height preselection:With the lifting height preselection system the driver can select the required liftingheight by pushing a button. When the desired lifting height is reached, the liftingprocess is automatically terminated. The lifting height preselection system can beused both for tiering and untiering of the load and also for lifting and lowering. Thelifting height preselection system is designed for warehouse sections with differentracking heights.

Hydraulic system:All hydraulic movements are carried out by a maintenance-free 21 kW three-phaseAC motor with flange-mounted, low-noise internal gear pump. The oil is distributedvia solenoid switching valves. The different required oil amounts are controlled via themotor speed. When lowering, the hydraulic pump drives the motor, which works as agenerator at that time (utility lowering). The energy generated by this process is fedback into the battery.

Brakes:

a) The truck is decelerated wear-free and smoothly by releasing the accelerator pedal or switching to the opposite travel direction. Thus, energy is reclaimed in the battery (service brake).

b) Moreover, the truck can be decelerated by a brake pedal acting on hydraulicallyoperated shoe brakes in the load wheels. The maximum deceleration is adaptedto the lifting height.

c) The electromagnetic spring-pressure brake acting on the traction motor servesas immobilising and stopping brake during tiering and untiering operations.

d) In inductively guided trucks a spring-loaded brake acting on the load wheels isadditionally applied. This brake is also automatically controlled in depending onthe height and acts only in emergency-stop situations.

3 Starting up the truck

f Before starting or operating the truck, or before lifting any loads, the driver has tomake sure that nobody is within the danger area.

The operating condition of the truck after switching on is indicated by the symbols inthe display.

3.1 Reference drive (Commissioning)

A reference drive must be performed every time before putting a truck into service,i.e. when the key switch was set to OFF.

– Turn key switch to ON– Step on the foot switch– Swivel hydraulics control knob to “Lifting” until the lift switches off automatically,

then fully lower it again.

This is the only way the control system enables all movements of the truck at fullspeed, and the height preselection is adjusted.

Lifting and lowering is indicated by the symbols:

Reference drive: lifting

Reference drive: lowering

Re-referencing of the load-carrying unit

If the side-shift or the boom rotation is changed while the truck is switched off, error183 or 203 is displayed when the truck is switched on and rotating and traversingmust be referenced.

The side-shift is referenced by moving the side-shift across the index (centre ofattachment).

The rotation sensor system (boom) is referenced by moving towards a limit stop ofthe rotation function for at least one second.

Successful referencing is indicated by removal of the corresponding symbol duringreferencing.

A reference drive must be performed every time before putting a truck into service,i.e. when the key switch was set to OFF.

– Turn key switch to ON– Step on the foot switch– Swivel hydraulics control knob to “Lifting” until the lift switches off automatically,

then fully lower it again.

This is the only way the control system enables all movements of the truck at fullspeed, and the height preselection is adjusted.

Lifting and lowering is indicated by the symbols:

Reference drive: lifting

Reference drive: lowering

Re-referencing of the load-carrying unit

If the side-shift or the boom rotation is changed while the truck is switched off, error183 or 203 is displayed when the truck is switched on and rotating and traversingmust be referenced.

The side-shift is referenced by moving the side-shift across the index (centre ofattachment).

The rotation sensor system (boom) is referenced by moving towards a limit stop ofthe rotation function for at least one second.

Successful referencing is indicated by removal of the corresponding symbol duringreferencing.

All driving lanes must be clearly marked and clear of obstacles.Unauthorised persons must stay away from work areas. Loads must only be storedat places specially provided for this purpose.

Driving conduct: The travelling speed must be adapted to the prevailing localconditions. The truck must be driven at slow speed when negotiating bends or narrowpassages, when passing through swing doors and at blind spots. The driver mustalways observe an adequate braking distance between the truck and the vehicle infront and he must be in control of his truck at all times. Sudden stopping (except inemergencies), rapid U-turns and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots is notpermitted. The truck should be driven in drive direction, i. e. with the load pointing tothe rear. Leaning or reaching out from the work area is prohibited.

Visibility during travel: The driver must look in the direction of travel and mustalways have a clear view of the route ahead. If load units are transported that obstructthe view, a second person for guiding must be present when travelling in the frontyard. During this procedure there must be continuous visual and speech contactbetween driver and guide. If the contact is interrupted - even if only temporarily - thedriver must stop immediately and may only continue travel when contact has been re-established.

If this is the caseand if no sufficient measures to protect personnel or to avoid collision with otherindustrial trucks, the driver must not drive into this narrow aisle. A special source of danger in narrow aisles are objects that project from the racking.Therefore, always watch the full height of the narrow aisle.The floor must be clear of any obstacles. The floor surface must be clean, in order toachieve sufficient traction.If a narrow aisle is equipped with inductive guidance and the guidance system isdefective or switched off, only trained and authorised personnel may drive the truckout of the narrow aisle.

Nature of the loads carried: Only loads that have been safely and correctly securedmust be carried. Never transport any load that protrude beyond the load forks to thefront.

Flattening of wheels: When the truck is parked for extended periods, the runningsurface of the tyres will flatten. However, this does not affect the travel safety orstability of the truck, as the flattening will disappear after travelling for a while.

Steering

Outside of narrow aisles the truck issteered by means of the steering wheel.The drive wheel angle is indicated in thedisplay (8).

Braking

A The braking behaviour of the truck is mainly dependent on the ground structure. Thedriver must consider this when handling the truck.

The truck may be braked in four ways:- by means of the service brake- by means of brake pedal- by means of immobilising brake- by means of EMERGENCY OFF switch.

Braking by means of service brake

The truck is decelerated in wear-free manner by releasing the accelerator pedal orswitching to the opposite travel direction.

Braking by means of brake pedal

By actuating the brake pedal the truck is decelerated by means of the hydraulic showbrake in the load wheels. The intensity of deceleration is automatically matched to thelifting height.

Braking by means of the foot switch

The truck is decelerated by releasing the foot switch.

A This method of braking may only be used as immobilising brake and not as servicebrake.

Braking with EMERGENCY OFF switch

The truck is strongly decelerated to standstill by actuating the EMERGENCY OFFswitch.

In inductively guided trucks a spring-loaded brake acting on the load wheels isadditionally applied. The deceleration is lifting-height-dependent.

m Only original spare parts have been certified by our quality assurance service. Toensure safe and reliable operation of the fork lift truck, only spare parts of themanufacturer must be used. Used parts, oils and fuels must be disposed of inaccordance with the applicable environmental protection regulations. For oilchanges, the oil service of the manufacturer is available to you.

Upon completion of any checking and servicing activities, the operations contained inthe section “Recommissioning” must be performed.

2 Safety regulations applicable to truck maintenance

Servicing and maintenance personnel: The fork lift truck must only be serviced andmaintained by trained personnel of the manufacturer. The service organization of themanufacturer has external technicians trained especially for these assignments. Wethus recommend signing a maintenance contract with the relevant service location ofthe manufacturer.

Lifting and jacking up: When a fork lift truck is to be lifted, the lifting gear must onlybe secured to the points specially provided for this purpose. When the truck is to bejacked up, suitable measures must be taken to prevent the truck from slipping ortipping over (use of wedges, wooden blocks). Work underneath the raised load liftingdevice must only be carried out when the fork is immobilised and supported by achain of adequate strength.

Cleaning operations: No inflammable liquids must be used when cleaning the forklift truck. Prior to commencing cleaning operations, all safety measures that arerequired to prevent sparking (e.g. by short-circuits) have to be taken. For battery-operated fork lift trucks, the battery plug must be removed. Only weak indraft, weakcompressed air and non-conducting, antistatic brushes must be used for the cleaningof electric or electronic assemblies.

m If the fork lift truck is to be cleaned using a water jet or a high-pressure cleaner, allelectric and electronic components must be carefully covered beforehand becausemoisture can lead to incorrect functioning. Cleaning by means of a steam jet is not permitted.

Upon completion of cleaning work, the operations detailed in the section“Recommissioning” must be performed.

Work on the electric system: Work on the electric system of the truck must only beperformed by personnel specially trained for such operations. Before commencingany work on the electric system, all measures required to prevent electric shockshave to be taken. For battery-operated fork lift trucks, the truck must also bedepowered by removing the battery plug.

Welding may only be carried out by authorised specialists.

Settings: When repairing or replacing hydraulic, electric or electronic components orassemblies, all truck-specific settings have to be retained.

Tyres: The quality of the tyres greatly affects the stability and the driving behaviourof the fork-lift truck. The factory-mounted tyres must only be replaced by originalspare parts of the manufacturer, since otherwise the specification of the data sheetcannot be met. When replacing wheels or tyres, it must be ensured that the fork-lifttruck remains level (tyres and wheels must always be replaced in pairs, i.e. left andright together).

Lift chains: The lift chains wear rapidly if not lubricated. The intervals in the servicechecklist apply to normal duty. If requirements are higher (dust, temperature),lubrication is required more often. The specified chain spray must be used asspecified. The external application of grease does not provide sufficient lubrication.

Hydraulic hoses: The hoses must be renewed every six years. When replacinghydraulic components, also renew the hoses in this hydraulic system.

3 Servicing and inspection

Thorough and expert servicing is one of the most important preconditions for safeoperation of the fork lift truck. The neglect of regular servicing intervals can lead tofork lift truck failure and constitutes a potential hazard to personnel and equipment.

m The indicated servicing intervals are based on single-shift operation under normaloperating conditions. For applications in dusty environments, or involving largetemperature fluctuations or multiple-shift operation, the servicing intervals must beshortened accordingly.

The following servicing checklist indicates the operations to be performed and therespective intervals to be observed. The servicing intervals are defined as follows:

W1 = every 50 operating hours, but at least once per weekM3 = every 500 operating hours, but at least every 3 monthsM6 = every 1000 operating hours, but at least every 6 monthsM12 = every 2000 operating hours, but at least every 12 months

In the running-in phase of the truck, the following additional operations have to becarried out:

1. Inspection

After the first 50 to 100 operating hours, at the latest after four weeks:

– Retighten battery terminal screws and check condition of cell connectors.– Perform visual checks of electrical and mechanical components.– Check brake fluid.– Check brake system for leaks and brake lines for free routing.– Check lifting chains for uniform tension.– Check locking and limits of fork arms.– Check transmissions for leaks.– Check screw connections and mechanical safety devices for tight seat.– Check wheel nuts for tight seat and retighten, if required.– Check hydraulic connections for leaks and retighten, if required.– Check hydraulic and travel speed setting as well as inductive guidance and function

of the stationary equipment.

6.1 Prepare the truck for the servicing and maintenance operations

All required safety measures must be taken to prevent any accidents in the course ofthe servicing and maintenance operations. The following preparatory operationsmust be performed:

– Park and lock the truck securely (see chapter E).– Unplug the battery connector, thus securing the industrial truck against accidental

operation.– When work has to be performed under the jacked-up industrial truck, suitable

measures must be taken to prevent any dropping, tilting or slipping of the truck.

f When lifting the industrial truck, the instructions contained in chapter “Transportationand commissioning” have to be observed (refer to chapter C).

6.2 Secure the load-carrying unit

The load-carrying unit can be secured inelevated position.

– Lift the load-carrying unit until theinner mast (1) is positioned above thebeam of the load-carrying unit safetydevice.

– Screw out fastening screw (4) andremove safety bolt (3) from beam (2)at main mast (5).

– Attach safety bolt to the vertical hole ofthe beam and screw on tightly.

– Lower the driver position carrier slowlyas far until the inner mast is seated onthe safety bolt.

6.3 Cleaning the lifting chains

m It is important to keep all lifting chainsand pivots clean and lubricated at alltimes. Lifting chains are safetyelements.

Chains must not be excessively dirty.For cleaning, only paraffin derivatives(such as, for example, kerosene ordiesel fuel) may be used.Never clean chains with steam jetpressure washer, cold cleaner, orchemical cleaners.

6.4 Inspection of lifting chains

Improper wear and external damages:

According to the official regulations a chain is regarded as worn out, if it has elongatedby more than 3% in the section where it runs around the deflection pulley. For safetyreason we recommend to replace a chain when it has elongated by 2%.

A chain should also be changed immediately when external damages are detected,as such damages result in fatigue fractures after a certain time period.

m If the industrial truck is equipped with two lifting chains, always both chains must bereplaced. Only then the equal load distribution to both chains can be guaranteed.When replacing chains, also the connection bolts between chain anchor and chainmust be renewed. As a rule, only original parts may be used.

6.5 Chain repair

Also when repairing chains, only original parts may be used. The rivet heads must beground off before dismounting. In this way damages caused by driving the boltthrough the intermediate plate resp. the inner link in the hole section are avoided.Removed bolts and plates must not be reused.

6.6 Changing gear oil

m Absolute care must be taken that the oil cannot be spilled into the sewer or onto thesoil. Waste oil must be securely stored until its proper disposal.

Draining the oil:

– Place an oil pan under thetransmission.

– Open oil drain plug (7) on the bottomside of the transmission and allow theoil to drain.

Refilling oil:

– Screw in oil drain plug (7) and tighten.– Open oil check and filler plug (6) at the

top side of the transmission.– Fill new transmission oil up to the oil

check opening.– Screw in oil check and filler plug (6).

A Because of the proper disposal andpossibly required special tools and skillsthe transmission and hydraulic oilchange as well as changing brake fluid and filters should be performed by thecustomer service.

6.10 Checking the brake fluid

f Brake fluid is poisonous and musttherefore be stored in closed originalcontainers. Moreover it should be notedthat brake fluid is corrosive on the truck’spaint.

The factory-filled brake fluid must beexchanged at least after two years, as itchanges in the course of time and losesits original properties.

The brake fluid reservoir (11) is locatedin the rear of the truck and can beaccessed after removing the cover. Thereservoir should always be filled up to2 cm below the reservoir cap.Only use the prescribed fluid.It must be guaranteed at all times thatthe entire brake system has no leaks.

6.11 Restrain safety belt service

The driver must check condition and correct operation of the safety restraint belt ondaily basis before using the industrial truck. Early detection of malfunctions is onlypossible through regular checks.

– Pull out belt completely and check for unravelling.– Check the function of the belt buckle for correct retraction of the belt into the

retractor– Check cover for damage

Testing the automatic blocking retractor:

– Park the industrial truck on a horizontal surface– Pull out the belt with a jerk

m The automatic blocking system must lock the belt in the retractor.

f Do not operate the industrial truck when the safety restraint belt is defective; have thebelt exchanged immediately!

6.13 Recommissioning the truck

Recommissioning of the truck following the performance of cleaning or maintenancework is permitted only after the following operations have been performed:

– Check the horn for proper functioning.– Check the master switch for correct functioning.– Check the brake for correct functioning.

7 Decommissioning the fork lift truck

If the fork lift truck is to be decommissioned for more than two months, it must beparked in a frost-free and dry location and all measures to be taken before, during andfollowing decommissioning must be performed as detailed below.

m During decommissioning, the fork lift truck must be jacked up, ensuring that thewheels are clear of the ground. Only this measure will ensure that wheels and wheelbearings do not suffer damage.

If the fork lift truck is to be decommissioned for more than 6 months, additionalmeasures must be discussed with the Service Department of the manufacturer.

7.1 Operations to be performed prior to decommissioning

– Thoroughly clean the fork lift truck.– Check the brakes for correct function.– Check the hydraulic oil level and top up if required (refer to chapter F).– Apply a thin film of oil or grease to all parts not protected by a paint coating.– Grease the fork lift truck as detailed in the lubrication chart (refer to chapter F).– Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D).– Disconnect and clean the battery. Apply pole grease to the battery poles.

A In addition to this, all instructions given by the battery supplier must be observed.

– Spray all exposed electrical contacts with a suitable contact spray.

7.2 Measures to be taken during decommissioning

Every 2 months:

– Recharge the battery (refer to chapter D).

m Battery-operated fork lift trucks:Regular recharging of the battery is very important; otherwise, exhaustive depletionof the battery caused by self-discharging would occur. Owing to sulfatisation, this willresult in the destruction of the battery.
