SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM (Con't).
e.
Wheel Brakes. The wheel brakes are a wet disc-type brake arrangement. When hydraulic pressure is
routed to the brake pistons via the brake valves, the pistons move outward and compress the brake disc against the
stationary backing plate, slowing or stopping the forklift truck.
f.
Parking Brake. The parking brake mechanism is mounted on the transmission. The actuating pedal and
release handle are located in the operator's cab. A red light flashes and an audible alarm sounds if the parking brake is
applied while the engine is running and the transmission is in gear; a yellow light flashes if the parking brake is applied
and the transmission is in N (Neutral).
1-14.
STEERING SYSTEM.
a.
General. The steering system is a full-time power assist-type. A secondary electrically operated pump is
included to provide emergency steering. The other components of the system are the steering valve, cylinders, and
crossover relief valve.
b.
Main Hydraulic Pump. The main hydraulic pump supplies the steering system only. It is mounted on the
transmission and is driven by the engine. It is a fixed displacement, external gear-type pump.
c.
Secondary Steering Pump. The secondary steering pump Is electrically powered. It operates when the
key switch is In the ON position and low steering system pressure is sensed by a pressure switch.

FORKLIFT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
a.
General. The forklift hydraulic system includes the service brake system, steering system, hydraulic
reservoir, and attachment components. The service brake and steering systems are described in paragraphs 1-13 and 1-
14. The attachment components consist of the forklift control valve, oil cooler, and two oil filters.
b.
Hydraulic Reservoir. The hydraulic reservoir is a 20 gl (76 1) tank, located just ahead of the engine.
c.
Forklift Control Valve. The forklift control valve controls the operation of the forks for boom raise and
lower, tilt, and spacing.
d.
Oil Cooler. The oil cooler is mounted alongside the engine radiator and cools both the hydraulic system oil
and the transmission oil in separate sections.
e.
Oil Filters. There are two filters that are contained in the hydraulic system. The hydraulic reservoir suction
filter, located at the hydraulic reservoir, filters larger contaminates and uses a washable screen. The hydraulic oil return
filter contains a bypass valve and a replaceable cartridge-type filter. It filters contaminants entering the hydraulic
reservoir from the components of the system. Should the hydraulic oil return filter become clogged, a hydraulic oil filter
restriction switch will light and the bypass valve will open.
1-16.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
a.
Charging System. The 24-volt charging system consists of the batteries and an alternator with an internal
regulator.
b.
Lighting System. The lighting system is protected by a circuit breaker and contains two front driving lights,
an adjustable floodlight, two rear cab mounted worklights, front and rear turn signals, taillights, a domelight, front and
rear blackout lights, and instrument panel lights.
