Electrical Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING To test charger operation: Connect a DC volt meter to the main battery positive and negative terminals. Attach a clamp on DC Ammeter to one of the charger DC output wires. Plug the charger into an AC outlet. Wait for charger to start (up to15 seconds), the ammeter should display the DC Amp rating of the charger (plus or minus 10%) indicating that the charger is on (constant current mode).

Term Value Condition 2.47 Volts Per Cell Flooded batteries at 80F ambient temperature*. 2.39 Volts Per Cell Gel Batteries at 80F ambient temperature*. 2.08 Volts Per Cell All batteries 5 Amps (+/- 1 Amp)
Electrical Troubleshooting OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND THEORY OF OPERATION Typical specification plate (reference only, specifications will vary for different chargers) The model HBS 600W ® and HBS 1000W ® chargers are designed as automatic chargers. The charger turns itself on when it is plugged into the wall outlet and turns off when the batteries are fully charged. Once the charging cycle is complete, the charger will monitor the battery voltage.
Electrical Troubleshooting TESTING THE CHARGING CYCLE In typical installations, The charge cycle will be completed in 8 to 12 hours depending on the state of charge of the batteries when the charge cycle was started. NOTE: The charge cycle time is limited to 20-hours (max). A fault will occur if charging time exceeds the time limit.
Electrical Troubleshooting STATUS LIGHT ERROR CODE TABLE If the Fault light is ON or flashing, it indicates a problem has occured during the charging cycle. If the light is flashing, it will flash from 2 to 6 times before a pause. This is the fault code. Refer to the table below.
Electrical Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: There are no internally serviceable components in the charger. To test charger operation: Connect a DC volt meter to the main battery positive and negative terminals. Attach a clamp on DC Ammeter to one of the charger DC output wires. Plug the charger into an AC outlet.

Electrical Troubleshooting OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND THEORY OF OPERATION The Lestronic II ® chargers are designed as semiautomatic chargers. The Lestronic II ® charger turns itself on when the “built- in” charger is plugged into the wall outlet, or when the “portable” charger is plugged into the batteries.
Electrical Troubleshooting TESTING THE CHARGING CYCLE In typical installations, the charger will remain on for up to 12 hours depending on the state of charge of the battery when the charge cycle was started. A charger could remain on for longer than 12 hours if: •...
Electrical Troubleshooting TEST EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR TROUBLESHOOTING Digital Multi Meter (DMM) with diode and capacitor test function, FLUKE 79 ® model shown at right and in the troubleshooting illustrations. Important Notes and Instructions • This troubleshooting guide assumes a familiarity with the use of a digital multimeter including, voltage tests, continuity tests and diode testing.
Electrical Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING FOR BUILT-IN CHARGER 1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove the key. 2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position. 3. Set the park brake. 4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement. 5.

Electrical Troubleshooting • Test the voltage from the fuse assembly (-) to the diode block (+). This voltage should be equal to the battery voltage. If the voltage is less than the battery voltage, then the wires from the harness connectors to the charger are bad.
Electrical Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING FOR PORTABLE CHARGER Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet and the batteries. 1. Test the voltage from the positive terminal on the vehicles DC receptacle to main battery negative. This voltage should be equal to the battery voltage. If the voltage is less than the battery voltage then this wire is broken or has a bad connection.
Electrical Troubleshooting 5. Reconnect the lead to the diode. 6. Connect the charger to the AC source. Insert the DC charger plug into the DC receptacle and perform the following tests: High Voltage inside the charger. Do not touch any internal components while the charger is plugged in.
Electrical Troubleshooting 4. Disconnect the wires from the contact terminals on the timer relay. 5. Reconnect the batteries. 6. Wait 5 seconds, then test the continuity across the timer relay contact terminals. • If this is a closed circuit, then the timer start up circuit is functioning normally. •...

Appendixes APPENDIX B: SUGGESTED TORQUE LIMITS FOR STANDARD HARDWARE HARDWARE IDENTIFICATION Standard Head Markings NOTE: Torque value used should be for lowest grade of hardware used. If a grade 2 nut is used on a grade 8 bolt, use grade 2 torque value. NOTE: Toque values specified are for clean dry threads.
NOTE: Nuts with no markings are to be treated as S.A.E. Grade A S.A.E. Grade B S.A.E. Grade C Grade L’9 Other Nuts ® Other nuts used by Taylor-Dunn should be treated as S.A.E. grade A Appendixes Appendix B Page 4...
Appendixes APPENDIX C: BRAKE LINING HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Taylor-Dunn does not currently supply asbestos fiber-brake pads/ shoes with any vehicle. However, there is the possibility that the original brake pads/shoes were replaced with aftermarket pads/shoes containing asbestos. Since this possibility does exist, the brake pads/ shoes should be handled as if they do contain asbestos.
