shoe is pressed against the fixed pin ,the brake shoe moves in the direction of the brake drum. After the fixed pin is pressed ,the frictional force between the friction lining and the brake drum is increased. Because the main brake shoe gives the auxiliary brake shoe a much greater pressure than the brake cylinder pressure ,thereby generating a large braking force .

5.6 Hydraulic system The oil pump motor drives the gear pump to provide hydraulic power. The two lift cylinders are responsible for the lifting and lowering of the forks. The two tilting cylinders complete the front and rear tilting movement of the mast , and one side shifting cylinder completes the left and right side shifting of the pallet rack.The control of the lifting, tilting and side-shifting oil circuits is controlled by three handles on the triple valve.
8、Operating Specification Before operating the forklift, please be familiar with the dashboard function of each switch/button. 8.1 Start ,Run Parking ○ 1 Insert the key into the key switch, turn to the right, and turn the emergency power off safety switch in the direction indicated by the arrow above the button.
the lowest position, tighten the parking brake handle, press the safety switch, and pull out the key. (Note that you cannot leave the truck without tightening the hand brake lever). 8.2 The steering wheel Angle adjustment According to the individual operating habits, steering wheel angle can be adjusted .
The button of the emergency power off switch is a plastic piece. When pressing down or rotating up, do not use excessive force to avoid damage to the switch. 8.6 The use of speakers and reversing speakers For the safety of driving, vehicle equipped with speakers and reversing speakers.
and slowly move forward, when the fork is fully inserted then parking and stepping on the brakes, operate the lifting handle to raise the weight to a certain height, tilt the mast backwards, slowly reverse the forklift , do not touch the adjacent goods, Lowered the goods to a correct position when the heavy objects completely leave the cargo pile.
point. When the forklift is lifted, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the forklift from slipping or tipping over (wedges, blocks can be used). Cleaning Operation: Flammable liquid can not be used for cleaning the forklift. Before cleaning, take safety precautions to prevent electric sparks (e.g. sparks caused by short circuit).
The liquid level will be higher when being recharged. 9.2 .2 Check every pole, every cable and their covers. 9.2.3Check if the accumulator box is secured. 9.2.4 Check the forklift for oil leakage. 9.2.5 Check the chain, rollers, fork, oil pipes and horn. 9.2.6 Check the brake.

List of maintenance 9.4 Maintenance, Recharging and Replacement of the accumulator The forklift must be parked in a safe location before any operation on the accumulator. 9.4.1 Maintenance Technician Only qualified technician can perform operations on the accumulator such as recharging, maintenance and replacing. Before operation carefully read instruction, manuals including operation manual, replenishment preparation and recharging requirements.
Page 41
Recharging of the accumulator may not work outdoors in cold weather. In this case, move it indoors to perform recharging. 8) If the accumulator will not be in use for a long time, it should be recharged and discharged once every month and it should be fully recharged every time. 9) During recharging or using, the liquid level of electrolyte lowers because of water evaporation, so pure water should be added.

density control work, cleaning of the battery and lead-out piles, etc., which can effectively extend the service life of the battery. Check for water in the battery box and find that the water must be drained immediately. In addition, the battery should not be stored with electrolyte. If you want to store the used and fully charged battery for a short period of time, charge it every other month during the storage period to compensate for the self-discharge of the battery and prevent the battery plate from being vulcanized...
Page 43
If the electrolyte surface is too low, the distilled water should be replenished in time. Do not add tap water, river water or well water to avoid self-discharge failure caused by impurities; do not add electrolyte, otherwise the electrolyte concentration will increase, and the battery will be shortened the Service life. Note that the electrolyte surface should not be too high to prevent the electrolyte from overflowing during charging and discharging, causing short-circuit failure.

9.4.7Battery Charging (1)Initial charging (the company's products are generally pre-charged, users can not do this operation) The quality of the initial charge has a great influence on the battery, and it must be operated by a experienced personnel . The unused battery should be charged before use. Clean the surface of the battery before initial charging and check for damage.
Page 46
The temperature of the electrolyte during charging should not exceed 45 ° C. When the temperature is close to 45 ° C, the charging current should be halved or suspended. Continue charging after the electrolyte temperature drops below 35 °C. However, it is necessary to extend the charging time appropriately;...

charged. (For the observation of the charging status, please refer to the manual of the charger) In order to understand the condition of the battery in time, it is recommended to establish a charge and discharge record for each battery, so as to provide a useful basis for the judgment of the failure of the battery in the future.
The battery that is normally used is charged once every 2 to 3 months. A battery that has not been used for a long time should be balanced charged before use. 10、Safety caution 10.1 General rule 10.1.1 Requirements for drivers: The operator must have the operating qualification of the forklift (approved by the relevant department) before driving the forklift 10.1.2 The operator must read the entire contents of the instruction manual...
○ 2 After pulling up the stationary truck, the front and rear wheels are well padded. ○ In case of long-term disuse, the battery should be replenished every 15 days. 10.3 Check before Using 10.3.1 If the new forklift is damaged during transportation, please do not put it into use and contact the supplier in time for proper treatment.
