HELI CPD15 Installation and operating instructions


FOREWORD
AC type three wheel lithium battery powered forklift truck with front drive is
designed on the base of advantages of some trucks made by domestic and foreign
manufacturers and developed in introduced technology from abroad to meet the
market needs. These trucks are all suited for handling and stacking packed goods in
stations, ports, goods yards, warehouses, food processing factory, light and textile
industries and other factories. Because the AC type three wheel forklift truck with
front drive has small turning radius so it is more suitable for narrow working space
such as supermarket and enterprise with high requirement on land usage rate. With
some of attachments fitted, the trucks can be applied more and more.
These trucks feature a wide-visible lifting system, integrated electric steering
axle, torque feedback device, drive axle with automatic brake, continuous speed
control, overhead guard with opened port, high quality motor, lithium battery,
MOSFET electric controller and liquid crystal combined meter with large screen so
they have a lot of advantages such as good performance, easy operation, wide
visibility of operator, flexible steering, reliable braking, powerful and smooth power,
low noise, no contamination to environment and beautiful contour.
This manual states the trucks’specifications, operation, maintenance, service,
main assemblies’constructions and working principles so as to help operators to use
the trucks correctly and attain the highest functions. It is necessary to read over the
manual before they operate the trucks or service personnel serve these trucks. The
rules and notices in the manual should be abided seriously by relative personals to
enable trucks in optimized working state for long period and bring highest efficiency.
Because of the limit of space and editing, the figures, drawings, parts and such
diagram illustration used in the manual do not have actual proportion. So size or mass
can not be gained from diagram accurately.

Ι. Safety Rules for Operation and Daily Maintenance of Forklift Truck
It is important that driver and manager for forklift trucks remember the principle
of the “first safety” and ensure the safety operation as the description in
《OPERATION AND SERVICE MANUAL》&《OPERATION MANUAL》.
1. Delivery of Forklift Truck
It must be pay attention to the following items when you deliver forklift trucks
with container or trucks.
(1) Apply the parking brake. For electric truck, the truck shall be power disconnected.
(2) Fix the mast and the balance weight with steel wire. Wedge up all wheels.
(3) Sling points should be always at the positions specified in sling index plate when
hoisting up the forklift truck.
2. Storage of Forklift Truck
(1) Drain off fuel completely. Don’t drain off the cooling water containing antifreeze
and rustproof agent.
(2) Apply antirust to the surface of the parts not painted. Apply lubrication oil to the
lift chain.
(3) Lowing the mast to the lowest position.
(4) Apply the parking brake.
(5) Wedged up the wheels.
3. Precautions Before Operation
(1) Don’t check fuel leakage and lever or instruments at the place where there is open
flame. Never fill the fuel tank with the truck running.
(2) Check the tire inflation pressure.
(3) The forward-reverse lever should be in neutral.
(4) Check all the levers and pedals.
(5) Complete the provisions before starting.
(6) Release the parking lever.

3
(7) Make trying operation of the mast for lifting, lowing and Fwd/Bwd tilting and the
truck for steering and braking.
4. Operation of Forklift Truck
(1) Only trained and authorized operator shall be permitted to operate the truck.
(2) Wear all the safety guards, such as shoes, helmet, clothing and gloves while
operating the truck.
(3) Check all the control and warning devices before starting the truck. If any
damages or defects are found, operate it after repairing.
(4) At the rated loading center, either overload or overload operation is strictly
prohibited. The center of cargo should be in line with the frame center, not out of the
line. The fork should insert completely under the cargo and make the cargo placed on
it evenly. Do not raise an object with one fork end.
(5) The starting, turning, driving, braking and stopping operation of the truck should
be done smoothly. When steering on the humid or low friction road, the truck should
be decelerated.
(6) Travel with loads as low as possible and tilted backward.
(7) Be careful when traveling on a slope. When climbing grades with a slope of more
than 10%, the truck should forward travel, and when descending so grades, backward
travel. Never turning on a slope. Avoid loading and unloading operation when
descending.
(8) Pay attention to pedestrian, obstacle and bumpy road when driving. Pay attention
to the clearance over forklift truck.
(9) Never allow any persons to stand on the forks or the truck to carry persons.
(10)Never permit anyone to stand or walk under upraised forks.
(11)Don’t operate truck and attachment of it at any position out of the drive seat.
(12)On the high lift forklift truck, when the lift high more than 3m, it is noted that the
goods on it should not fall down or the protection measures must be taken if

4
necessary.
(13) Tilt the mast of the high lift forklift truck as backward as possible while the truck
working. Use minimum forward tilt angle and Min. reverse tilt when loading and
unloading.
(14) Be careful and slowly driving over a dockboard or bridge-plate.
(15) Shut down the truck and don’t stay on the truck when checking battery or fuel
lever.
(16) The unloaded forklift truck with attachments should be operated as a loaded
truck.
(17) Don’t handle unfixed stacked goods. Be careful to bulky goods to be handled.
(18) If leaving the truck, lower the forks on the ground and let the shift lever to
neutral, shut down the engine or cut down electric supply. If parking on a slope is
unavoidable, apply the parking brake and block the wheels.
(19) Don’t adjust the control valve and relief valve at will to prevent the damage of
hydraulic system and its components because of excessive pressure passing them.
(20) Inflate a tyre according to it’s stated air pressure. Never over inflate a tyre.
(21) According to the measure method specified in JB/T 3300, the max. noise at the
outboard of the truck should be not more than 80dB(A).
(22) Be familiar with and pay attention to the functions of the decals on the forklift
trucks.
5.Application environment
1) Environment temperature: -25ºC ~ +40ºC;
2) Relative humidity: <90%;
3) Altitude: <1200m.
6. Daily Maintenance of Forklift Trucks
(1) Inspection before startup
a) Hydraulic oil volume: oil level should stay in the middle of oil meter scale;

5
b) Check piping, joints, pumps and valves for leaks or damages;
c) Check parking brake. The unladen truck can park on the 15% grade ramp,
when the parking lever is pulled to the bottom;
d) Check instruments, lighting, switches and wiring to see if they work normally
or not.

Ⅲ. Construction, Principle,Adjustment and Maintenance of Forklift Trucks
1. Transmission system
1.1 General description
The transmission system of the three wheeled forklift truck includes transmission
system we call traditionally and brake system. Front wheel dual driving motor structure
makes the right and left wheel of three wheeled truck has drive axle, redactor, brake and
driving motor independently to improve working efficiency. Transmission unit is
assembled inside of drive axle housing while brake is assembled on motor shaft. The
structure is compact.
Truck travelling speed is increased with the increase of motor speed; travelling
direction is changed with motor rotation direction; The sensor installed on rear wheel
sends information to drive motor controller on right and left front wheel, after receiving
different information, right and left front wheel give out different speed and thus steering
of the truck is realized. The steering of the three wheeled truck is realized through electric
differential. The system has no bevel gear which thus not only improves working
efficiency but also reduce bevel gear noise.
1.1.1 Front wheel assembly
Front wheel is made up of solid tyre and rim. Refer to the following for front wheel
and rim model:

NOTE: Take care when removing motor from transmission box.
Take care not to damage the sealing surface for the O-ring in the housing! If only the
motor is removed, the released transmission opening is to be sealed in order to avoid that
dirt can get inside the transmission.
1.2.3 Disassembling and assembling of transmission box
It is not necessary to disassemble this part normally. If has to, please contact HELI
sales company.
1.3Assembling of transmission system
1.3.1 Assembling of travelling motor
Before assembling, clean the contacting face between transmission box and motor
with cleanser (for example loctite 706 or alcohol) then make it dry. Check if the contactor
is damaged, if there is slight damage, remove it with oil stone. Refer to figure 1-3.
Note: cleansers can not come into contact with the skin ,they must not be swallowed
and their vapors must not be inhaled. Always use protective gloves and goggles. If a
cleanser has been swallowed inadvertently, call medical help immediately. Pertinent
instructions of the manufacturer should be duly noted.
(1) Clean motor shaft (part1) and taper bore of drive pinion (part 2) carefully
(2) Insert woodruff key (part 3) into motor shaft and push drive pinion on.

Note:
It is suggest for driver to getting familiar with the brake effect and functioning
without load.
2.1.2 Parking brake
Electromagnetic parking brake which is installed on traction motor shaft is applied
on three wheeled truck.
1) Automatic parking brake
When truck is braked or is stopped, electromagnetic parking brake is applied to lock
traction motor output shaft. And thus the truck is stopped with parking brake.
When truck is stopped on a slope, the truck keep stopping through electric method
ant then parking brake is started. And thus the truck is stopped with parking brake.
When operating direction switch and stepping on accelerating pedal at the same time,
the electromagnetic parking brake is loosed automatically and truck can be operated
normally.
2) Power-off parking brake
When key switch is turned off, emergency button is turned off or truck main power
is disconnected, electromagnetic parking brake starts automatically. And thus the truck is
stopped with parking brake.( It can only be used in case of emergency.)

18
Danger:
Except under emergency case, it is prohibited to start electromagnetic parking
brake through power-off parking brake. When electromagnetic parking brake is
applied, do not tow the truck.
