Fig. 9: Residual lift diagram (stacking) Fig. 10: Residual lift diagram (double lifting) Lifting DO NOT OVERLOAD THE TRUCK! THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS 2000kg WHEN THE LOAD CENTER IS 600MM. (ONLY USED AS PALLET TRUCK) LIFT ONLY CAPACITIES ACCORDING TO THE RESIDUAL LIFT DIAGRAM. Travel with the lowered forks fully underneath the pallet and press the lifting button (Fig.
Page 17
Lowering If the forks are in the racking, firstly travel out of the racking carefully with or without the pallet. By travelling out of the racking, take care that the forks are not touching the racking. Press the lowering button (Fig. 7, 18) carefully. Lower the load until the forks are clear of the pallet, then drive the truck carefully out of the load unit.

Avoid excessive temperature difference (more than 5℃) on both sides of the battery. 2). Installation method Install vertically downward, avoid violent bump, impact and drop during installation, and the charging port should be facing the opposite direction to the discharge port of the whole vehicle for charging.
Page 45
1). Charging requirements The battery has a built-in protection system, when the system is over-discharged, the internal relay will cut off the output and exhibit a high resistance state (OD). The maximum charging voltage of the charger is limited to 29.2V, and the voltage and current output is controlled by the battery BMS.

10.Hydraulic system a. Overview The hydraulic system is composed of working oil pump, lifting cylinder and piping and other components. Hydraulic oil is supplied by the oil pump directly connected with the motor. The oil pump will pump the hydraulic oil to the cylinder. 1) Components The hydraulic system operates the lifting cylinders by pressurized hydraulic oil from the main hydraulic pump and pumps out the oil discharged from these cylinders.
Page 47
The pump motor operates when the following conditions are met. The key emergency stop switch is closed. The limit switch and rise button are closed. Pump motor contactor is engaged Pump motor contactor detects. For the pump motor contactor, follow the diagram shown in and check that it measures the specified value.
