even it is undue.
Note Check and change of the key parts and lubrication grease adding should be
carried
out by NOBLELIFT dealer or agent.
2.8 Transportation and hanging up
2.8.1 Notes when hanging up truck
Do not hang up the truck at the overhead guard. Before hanging up, check if
the bolts of the mast and
counter weight are tighten to the regulated torque. Refer to the “maintenance
data” for torque value of the counter weight fixing bolts. Refer to the
“maintenance data” for torque value of the lower mast fixing bolts. When
hanging up truck, hook the hole on the bottom of the external mast and the
counter weight and rear axial. Do not stay under the lifted truck. Use
undamaged slings and steel rope with enough strength. Please contact with UN
dealer or agent for special sling equipment if the truck has to be hung up
frequently.
2.8.2 Notes when loading or unloading the truck
There is a danger of tipping over and falling when loading or unloading the
forklift truck onto or from the trailer. So follow the rules below:
Park the trailer on a flat road. Apply parking brake and wedge the wheels.
Use connection board with proper length, width and strength.
Operate the truck with proper posture. If the truck which is hydraulic powered
type and is assembled with OPS is operated
with such posture (the seat does not bear your whole weight, for example stand
or lean against forward, backward or side when operating), the power will be
cut for 3 seconds and in that case, the truck will slide down even
acceleration pedal is pressed or the truck is going uphill. If necessary,
assign a towerman, so that the driver is not necessary to stand or lean
forward or side to observe around. Place the board to form a gentle slope when
using it. Align the center of the forklift truck and trailer’s and lock firmly
avoiding displacement. Do not change the direction when travelling on a board.
If necessary, place the board again according to the needed direction and
travel again.
2.9 Truck structure and stability
2.9.1 Longitudinal stability
Load is balanced with the weight on the rear wheel with the front wheel as the
supporting point so as to avoid truck tilting forward.
If the truck is overloaded, the rear wheel will lift away from the surface. It
is dangerous andserious accident will occur such as tipping over.
2.9.2 Load center of gravity
Shapes of goods are different. Ensure load center of gravity is very important
for truck stability.
2.9.3 Combined center of gravity and loaded truck stability
Combined center of gravity The loaded truck’s center of gravity is moved to
the combined center of gravity of the truck and goods. The combined center of
gravity is lifted as the goods are lifted. Combined center of gravity and
stability The stability in both longitudinal and horizontal direction will be
poorer and poorer with the center of gravity being higher and higher. Besides,
swinging and vibration during travelling and loading affect the truck
stability.
Truck stability will change because of the following factors:
Load size, weight and shape (center of gravity)
Lifting height Mast tilting angle Tyre inflation pressure Acceleration and
deceleration during
travelling and lading and unloading and steering speed
Road condition and gradient Attachments type
Do not travel when the fork (goods) is lifting; do not steer sharply; do not brake suddenly; do not lift or tilt fork suddenly; or there is a danger of accident such as tipping over.
2.9.4 Actual loading capacity
Load center refers to the horizontal distance from the center of gravity on
the fork to the backrest. Actual loading capacity is the max. loading capacity
on certain load center.
Capacity chart on the name plate can be seen from the driver’s seat. It shows
the relationship between the actual loading capacity and the load center.
When load center moves to the fork tips, lower the load capacity to maintain
the balance in actual operation.
2.9.5 Instruction on the capacity chart
Instruction on the capacity chart The actual loading capacity and max. load
capacity are shown in the capacity chart. Before
loading, make sure the load center and load capacity are in the allowed range.
Fix the load if it has complex shape in order to make the heaviest part lay
against backrest
and the horizontal center stay on the center of the two forks. The rear wheel
will be away from the ground if the truck is over loaded and thus the truck
will be out of balance. Ensure the load capacity stays in the allowed range.
Series number plate on the truck shows the work in permit range. Contact with
NOBLELIFT
dealer or agent to change the damaged or unclear plate.
If the load capacity exceeds the requirements in the capacity chart, the
truck’s rear wheel may be lifted away from the ground. In that case, steering
may be out of control and the truck may tip over. If the truck is assembled
with attachments such as side shifter, clamp, rotator and so on, the allowed
capacity will be lowered than the capacity of the truck without attachments.
The reasons are below: a) The capacity is attachment weight lower than the one
of the truck without attachment. b) Long attachments make the center of
gravity forward and thus the loading capacity will be reduced. According to
the truck and attachment brochures, calculate the actual capacity through the
loadingcapacity formula if attachment is assembled by yourself or contact with
our company.
2.9.6 Instruction on safety devices choice
Safety devices are optional. Contact with NOBLELIFT dealer or agent for
detail. Devices and equipments listed below may not work in certain
conditions. Install the devices according to the instructions for safety
reason.
Working light on top of the truck and at the rear side of the truck
Travelling (forward/backward) or approaching alarm rotating warning light and
flash light
Speed alarm Speedometer and buzzer
Fire extinguisher
2.10 Towing
Fault truck towing
Be care if there is any of the fault below when towing a truck: Fault of brake
fault of steering fault of tyre fault of traction pin Move the truck on a
abrupt slope The truck is hard to control if the steering motor does not work.
if there is no power, there is no powered steering. Do not tow the truck which
has no power, or truck may be damaged or slip because of improper towing. If
towing on a abrupt slope, apply another brake power to stop the truck. Never
handle the fault truck with another forklift truck unless it has to be moved
and it can not be towed. The handling truck must has the capacity equals to or
larger than the weight of the fault truck. The towing truck’s fork length must
larger than the width of the whole fault truck. Keep the weight of the fault
truck stay on the center of two forks. Take care not to damage the bottom of
the truck.
Towing
Towing method: The towed truck must have operator. Tow the truck slowly. Lift
the pallet and mast for towing. If a forklift truck is used to tow a fault
truck, the truck’s capacity must be
no less than the fault one. When towing, load the truck with goods that have
half of the rated capacity’s weight to increase the towing force and keep the
goods as low as possible. Connect the two truck’s towing pin on counter weight
with a steel traction chain.

————————————————————————————-
3.4.1 Truck fixing
Authorized transporting company is recommended to transport the truck through
highway, railway and waterway.
No matter which method is chosen to transport the truck, a common fixing
method is needed which can reduce the truck and paint damage possibility.
Forklift truck fixing method on a lorry: 1. Keep a proper distance (at least
10cm) between two trucks for safety during transporting. 2. Put a wood block
under the rear axle surface avoiding a bad effect on rear wheel because of the
large gravity of counter weight. Apply the parking brake. 3. Bind the truck
carefully avoiding appearance damage. Avoid direct contact with the rope. Put
a rag on each binding point. 4. when binding, chose the position which can
bear large force. Usually, chose the center beam as the front fixing point and
hole on the counter weight as the rear fixing point. 5. The steel rope and
iron wire must not interfere with the truck important parts such as tilting
cylinder, lifting cylinder avoiding deforming because of force. 6. Fix the
truck according to the sketch map below in order to bear small force. 7. In
principle, place the truck facing opposite the lorry travelling direction.
Because a spin may be caused during travelling if center of gravity is moved
to one side. According to practical condition, placement of facing the lorry
travelling direction and opposite the travelling direction can be mixed. Be
sure to fix the load firmly. 8. After arriving, loose the fixing steel rope
when unloading. Then lift the counter weight with lifting equipment and remove
the wood block. At last the truck can be driven.
Forklift truck fixing method in a container: 1. For container space limit, trucks position is compact. The min. distance between the two trucks is20-30mm to ensure disconnecting with each one. 2. Protect the left and right sides of the frame and counter weight with felt pads before going to the container avoiding truck appearance damage. 3. Lift the counter weight with lifting device and put a metal block under it avoiding a bad effect on rear wheel because of the large gravity of counter weight. Apply the parking brake. 4. Wedge the wheels with metal blocks and fix them to the floor board of container for safety. 5. Bind the truck carefully avoiding appearance damage. 6. Chose the lifting holes on top of the mast as front fixing points. For the outside, connect the listing hole with the hook on container. For the middle, connect the two trucks’ lifting holes with steel wire. And connect the fork cross beam with the lower hook on the container. Chose the traction pins on the counter weight as rear fixing points. For the outside, connect the pin with the lower hook on the container. For the middle, connect the two trucks’ pins with steel wire. 7. When binding, put rag or felt pad to protect the paint on the fixing point from damage. 8. After arriving, loose the fixing steel rope when unloading. Remove the wheel blocks. Lift the counter weight with lifting equipment and remove the metal block. At last the truck can be driven. 9. In principle, trucks should be placed side by side. Placement of facing the travelling direction and opposite the travelling direction can be mixed or placement of facing the travelling direction. Be sure to fix the load firmly.
————————————————————————————-
3.4.2 Mast transporting and reassembling
Some mast has to be disassembled during transporting for height limit. 1. Seal
the hydraulic pipeline disassembling ends after disassembly. Fix the pipelines
with belts. Wrap the connectors and transport with the whole truck. 2.
Reassemble the mast after arriving by professionals.
Main technical requirements are followed: (1) Mast assembly a. Check the
clearance between the mast and side rollers. b. connection between the mast
support and frame: apply lubricating grease to bushing. The tighten torque of
the mast support bolts: 83Nm. Apply anaerobic adhesive GY-340. c. Assembly of
the tilting cylinder ear fixing bolts: tighten torque 120Nm. Apply anaerobic
adhesiveGY-340 (do after mast tilting angle adjustment and check). d. The
connection and moving trend of pipelines are reasonable. Fix the pipeline with
clamps (2) After mast assembly a. Check the mast tilt anger referring to the
parameters; b. Adjust the chain tensity after reassembly. c. The pipeline can
not interfere with the mast moving.
The disassembled mast usually is transported through horizontal method. Place
the mast into the container vertically by special clamp in particular. When
loading, refer to the practical space. Fix the mast to the middle hook in the
container. Bock the connecting point between mast support half and the floor
board avoiding damage to the container floor.
Electricity and hydraulic connection Block all connecting points of the
electricity and hydraulic system in disconnecting condition.
Lifting The lifting plate shown in the figure shows the proper lifting points.
The points are on the mast and counter weight. For more information, contact
with NOBLELIFT dealer or agent.
IMPORTANT Make sure all slings have the safe capacity to lift up the truck.
Make sure the mast is under vertical condition before lifting up the truck.
Lifting the truck Put proper lifting equipment on the lifting points. 1. Put
sealing material where the lifting equipment may connect the truck avoiding
appearance damage. 2. Tighten the slack rope and be away from the truck. 3.
Carry out one lifting test to ensure balance lifting. If not, lower to the
ground and adjust the lifting equipment. 4. If all above descriptions are
correct, lift the truck to required position slowly. 5. Place the truck to
required place and remove the lifting equipment.

4.4.1 Lubricating grease and fuel
4.4.1.1 Notes
When lubricating according to STARTING CHECK and CHECK AFTER OPERATION, please
understand the following notes.
Do not check the pipeline or hose with hand directly when checking if there is
leakage because the pressure may be applied and danger may be caused.
If your skin or eye is harmed by high pressure oil, wash with clean water at
once and go to see a doctor.
Please let NOBLELIFT dealer to carry out the visual checking items except the
leakage.
Engine oil, hydraulic oil, transmission oil and gear oil that used under bad
condition (high temperature and high pressure will go bad as time pass by.
Change the oil regularly referring to OIL AND GREASE and LUBRICATING CHART.
Change the oil in regulated time even it does not go bad. Be sure to use
NOBLELIFT specified engine oil. Oil listed in the OIL TYPE TABLE
is filled in the truck before delivery. Do not use oil mixing with different
degrees and numbers. Most fault may be caused if foreign matter goes into oil
or grease. Take care not
to let foreign matters fall into oil or grease during storing and lubricating.
Add oil with proper quantity because fault may be caused because of
insufficient
oil or too much oil. If the hydraulic oil becomes turbid or there is
possibility of air or water going
into oil, fault may be caused if measures are not taken. In that case, please
contact with NOBLELIFT dealer or agent. When changing oil, change the
corresponding filter. Please contact with NOBLELIFT dealer or agent for oil
and filter changing.
Fuel
Only NOBLELIFT specified fuel is allowed to be used or the cleanness of the
exhausting air can not meet thestandard requirement. For your health and
environment, use NOBLELIFT specified fuel. Add the fuel to the full level
after one day’s work. Reducing the air in the tank is helpful to
reduce the possibility of moisture mixed into the fuel. Fuel pump which is
