2.1 General Description The transmission adopted in this machine is a rational combination of torque converter with power-shift type transmission. It has the following features. (1) The inching valve is provided so as to improve the inching performance. Hence, the inching performance can be maintained when starting and at any rotational speed of engine.
Page 17
In this case the output shaft torque becomes smaller than the input shaft torque. So as to prevent this phenomenon, a free wheel (one-way clutch) is provided on the stator. When the reaction torque acts in the reverse direction, the stator wheel rotates idly. In this state the input torque becomes equal to the output torque so that high performance is ensured.
Page 18
2.3 Charging Pump The construct of charging pump See Fig.2.3. Charging pump consists of driving gear, inner gear (driven gear), shuck and cover, mounted on the upper end of the tor-con housing. Driving gear is driven by pump wheel, idle gear and oil pump driven gear, the oil pump supply oil in lower half of the transmission for every area of the transmission.
Page 19
are prevented. When hydraulic pressure affects the piston, the alternately arranged sintered plates and steel plates are depressed so that the clutch group is made integral and transmits power from the torque converter to the drive gear. Accordingly, power transmission route from the Tor-Co-transmission is as follows: Turbine wheel-Main shaft-Clutch drum-Steel plate-Sintered plate-Forward or reverse gear-Output shaft.
Page 20
2.5 Control Valve Control valve see Fig.2.6. The control valve is provided on the upper part of transmission case. The change spool and inching spool are incorporated in the valve body. The clutch relief valve is designated to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic pressure of the transmission clutch.
Page 21
valve from the pump through the strainer. The fluid sent from the charging pump is divided to two directions in the torque converter case, one for torque converter and the other for transmission. Fig.2.7 Tor-con Hydraulic System Pressure of the fluid for clutch is adjusted to 1.2 to 1.5MPa with the relief valve. And then it is supplied to the control valve.
Page 22
While the forward or reverse clutch is operating, another clutch is rotating between the sintered plates and the steel plates. Therefore this part is lubricated with oil sent from the oil cooler to prevent seizure of plates. When the brake pedal is depressed and the inching valve is actuated, most of hydraulic oil supplied to the clutch is drained from the inching valve and returns to the transmission case.

The role of the braking system is to make the forklift reduce speed or stop when it is traveling with no load or full load. CPCD120-Wx uses air-over-hydraulic brake system. Its working principle is that the air compressor draws air directly from the atmosphere through air filter and increases its pressure.
Page 44
The braking system of the machine is divided into two parts. One part is braking by air-brake. The other part is inching (micro-motion) pedal on the left side. They realize the micro-motion of the forklift by controlling the inching valve on the transmission case with flexible shaft cable.

separate the water in the high-pressure air and lube oil in the air-compressor. The outline is shown in the following diagram. Fig.5.5 Oil-water Separator Combination Valve 5.3 Description of Operation and Maintenance The main tasks of the routine maintenance of air-over-hydraulic braking system are the discharge of the condensed water and the operation of the braking fluid and air-compressor system.
5.4 Parking Brake The parking brake is of internal expanding shoe type and installed on an intermediate shaft output end of the rear side of the transmission. Refer to following diagram for the parking bake operation. The manual operating force shall not be more than 300N when the forklift is making parking braking on a slope in standard load operation.

gear will connect with the pipe of oil pump, the connection marked “Return”(回) will connect with oil reservoir. The connections marked “Left”(左) and “Right”(右) will be connected with the left and right chambers of the cylinder respectively. The flow rate allowable in the suction pipe is 1—1.5m/s, pressure oil pipe and return oil pipe 4—5m/s.
(6) Operation maintenance Check leakages, oil level in the reservoir and working conditions every day. Chang filter elements and oil regularly according to requirements. Hydraulic oil condition can be checked by putting one drop of oil on absorbent paper. If there is a black spot in the center of oil stain, it will be changed.

diagrams below). It consists of steering axle body, steering oil cylinder, connecting rod and steering wheel. The steering trapezium uses crank slide mechanism. The piston rod of the oil cylinder pushes steering knuckle to turn through the connecting rod. It results in the deflection of deflection wheel and steering is thus realized. The steering axle is connected on the tail frame of the vehicle by integral pins so that the axle can sway around the pins.

Two tilt cylinders of double acting type are mounted on each side of the frame. The front end of the piston rod is installed on the mast and the cylinder tail is on the frame by pins. The tilt cylinder assembly consists primarily of a cylinder body, cylinder cap, piston and piston rod.
Page 72
(1) Inner and outer mast Inner and outer masts are all welded parts. Outer mast bottom is fixed at driving axle with pin. The middle part of outer mast is connected with frame by tilted cylinder and can be tilted forward and backward under the action of tilted cylinder. Outer mast channel steel is a weldment of common low-alloy structural steel with C-section and with its upper part being fixed with a pair of side roller.

axis pins and tightness of pins. Make sure that lifting cylinder and tilting cylinder are working normally. The operation should be stopped if there is any abnormality and can only resume after the troubles are eliminated. (4) Chain ● Introduction The forklift is provided with chain, which must be checked and maintained regularly according to requirements shown in the following table.
Page 75
ISO VG46460. The oil with less viscosity can be applied to lower outdoor temperature and smaller chain. Compared with more viscous lubricating oil, the diluted oil enters into the chain joints easily and achieves better result of lubrication. After a long interval without lubrication, liquid grease diluted with diluent can be used.
Page 76
Take the chain apart regularly to clean it completely and check if there is any trouble with it and then lubricate the whole chain again if possible. ● Cracks and damages of chain pieces Usually, visual check is only limited to the outer chain piece and chain piece fringe, overlooking cracks on pin shaft and chain piece hole fringe.
Page 77
straight and flat part of chain, fix the maximum extension limit at 2% although 3% is reachable in normal conditions. The fixing of the extension limit will take the following points into account: a) Abrasion of parts affects the strength of chain; b) Hard face abrasion.
Page 78
disc similarly. If pin shaft head abrasion exceeds 25% or the outside abrasion of chain piece is over 20% of its thickness, you are required to check if there is any fault with it and change the chain. ● Interval Check abrasion conditions at least every 6 months or 1000 hours.
